Many multiple sclerosis patients follow a low-fat diet developed by Dr. Roy Swank, who recommends his diet to slow down disease progression. The following are his recommendations:
• Consume no more than 10 g of saturated fat per day.
• Limit polyunsaturated fat consumption to 50 g or less per day.
• Take 1 tbsp of cod liver oil per day to supplement essential fatty-acid intake. Cod liver oil is a good source of omega-3 fatty acid, one of the two essential fatty acids.
• Consume adequate amount of protein in the diet, preferably plant protein such as soy, beans, seeds, and nuts.
• Eat more fish, a good source of omega-3 fatty acid. Swank recommends having fish three or more times per week. Omega-3 fatty acid is believed to support myelin production and improve nerve function. In addition to following the Swank diet, Dr. Michael Murray and Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, the authors of the book Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine also recommend the following nutritional supplements:
• Flaxseed oil. Murray and Pizzorno recommend replacing the fish oil in Swank’s diet with flaxseed oil because the latter can provide both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-6 fats, studies have shown, also help alleviate MS symptoms.
• Antioxidants such as selenium, vitamin C, and vitamin E. Patients with multiple sclerosis often have antioxidant deficiency.
• Vitamin B12. MS patients often lack Vitamin B12, and correcting this deficiency is believed to help decrease myelin destruction.
