To further your belief, rent the movie Lorenzo's Oil. A movie based on a true story about long chain fats with Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon. The parents Augusto Daniel Odone and Michaela Teresa Murphy Odone became famous for discovering a treatment using good fats for their son's "incurable" illness, and their quest was recounted in this film.

Judy Graham, writer, broadcaster and editor. Diagnosed with MS at 26 tells us a bit about her Life and how she manages MS day to day.
“People often wonder how, more than 30 years after the first MS symptoms I am still able to work pretty much full time (from home), and can walk unaided the full length of my shopping mall with only the merest of hobbles. I also do normal mum-like things with my 15 year old son like buy bits for his computer or collect him from teenage parties. I honestly don’t think this would have been possible without doing many of the things listed in this book.
My Journey into the realm of Complementary therapies began in 1974 when I started taking Evening Primrose Oil (EPO). Since then I have never missed a day. I also switched to eating a low-fat diet and began eating a more healthy diet. Every so often, I completely give up all wheat and dairy produce. When I do I immediately feel so much better, it’s like a fog lifting. Certainly, the people around the world with MS who seem to do the best are on a wheat and dairy-free diet.
More than anything I have put my faith in supplements wherever I go a bag-full comes with me! Among them are Antioxidants (Pynocgenal and Grape Seed extract), Multi-Vitamin Mineral tablets, EPO, Fish Oils (or Flax Seed Oil), MSM, Vitamin B12 injections or sublingual tablets, Amino acids, Trace Elements, Blue Green Algae. For brainpower I take NADH. Gingo Biloba, Co-Enzyme Q10, L-Phenylalanine & Ginseng. I’ve had Acupuncture, Alexander Technique, & Shiatsu. I’ve tried Naturopathy, Hydrotherapy, Osteopathy, & Cranial-Sacral Therapy.
In their own way all these therapies have been good. I sometimes wonder how much healthier I would be if I gave up work and concentrated on Complementary Therapies. But I don’t want MS to be a full-time occupation, and in any case I couldn’t afford it. So I do what I can, when I can, and just get on with life!"
