How effective is the swank diet at improving ms prognosis? any vitamins i should be taking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Comments: Swank diet has proven research of modest success, and current view is that a low fat, low salt diet has benefit. Best vitamin is D-3, about 5-10000 units daily. However, most effective is a potent MS medication such as Tysabri (natalizumab) or Gilenya.
