Dear MS-er:
If you guess this book to bestow a “Complementary and Alternative Medicine Program” that can help you with your disease (As may possibly be implied by the authers’ profissional field), then you are mistaken. If you are looking for “Dietry Supplements” (As may possibly be implied by the title of this book) then look else where.
If you need to read such asinine claims like”Excessive Vitamin E can increase risk of bleeding” ( may I question if this has been clincially proven? huh), then buy this book and delight in.
This book makes me wonder, if it was written with the aim to help MS suffes or was proposed to act of kindness beta-Interferon manufacturers over alternative Medicin?
Fake claims in the book makes the authers’ credibility questionalble.
A POSITIVE, yet challenging,approach in handling the theme would be listing those supplements that can benifit MS suffers instead of a list to warn about.
Logically, a satement like “No clinical proof that X supplement have any impact on MS” – does NOT imply that X spplement has NO impact on MS but rather it means that NO clinical trials were conducted to prove its effectiveness.
Surprisingly enough, TWO of the most exciting herbs, backed up with clinical experiemens – proven to positively impact MS (Turmeric -resommended by Dr. Weil- , Polypodium Leucontomos ).
More amusing thing about this book is that it considers “Turmeric” which is an Indian food spices to be equivelant to “GOLDENSEAL”!!!!! and warns hostile to its sedative impact!!! by the way, it doesnt mention Polypodium!!!
If I would comment on all rubbish claims in this book, I may possibly endup with another book of its size or even more!

WOW! I now no longer feel like I’m fumbling nearly in the dark about nutritional suppplements and MS! Dr. Bowling painstakingly and objectively examines supplements and their effects on MS! How empowering it is to know that certain supplements have the side effect of nausea, which is my most frequent and bothersome MS sypmtom and the one thing I simply can’t cope with.
No more Evening Primrose Oil for me! I’ve replaced it with Flaxseed Oil, which does basically the same thing, but unlike Evening Primrose Oil does not have nausea as a side effect!
I would gladly trade more corporal disability if I just may possibly find a way to do something about the nausea!
And even more vital in rank, supplements that stimulate the immune system. Also of importance is the in rank on which supplements can cause liver hurt, particularly vital for those of us who are on one of the interferons!
With Dr. Bowling’s brilliant book in hand I am adding herbal supplements to my regimin, and I do notice a measurable improvement in my overall shape up!
But, as all us MS’rs know, our lovely small disease has a tendency to go through periods when it kicks our butts less than at other times, and with that knowledge, I’ll do an update on this review towards the end of this year.
Observably, highly reccomended to anyone with MS! I’d pretty much place this in the category of a must-read book for my Sisters and Brothers with MS.
Doesn’t having MS absolutely STINK?????
10/19/05 As promised, I’m updating this review. Well, so far the improvement is continuing. Really, I reckon it’s a combination of several different things. I feel that the fact that I exercises 4 to 6 times a week is also very beneficial! So this book still rates a 5+ with me!
