A member asked:

Would doing the gersin diet be safe for someone with ms?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Avoid fad diets: Ms is an immune-mediated disease. Protein is a key to proper immune function and the Gerson diet is protein deficient. I would advise against it.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed

Bad idea: Low protein, high carbohydrate diets lead to weight gain. The best diet seems to be a low fat, low salt approach
