A simple web search will turn up hundreds of references concerning spontaneous remission of Multiple Sclerosis. Are they all miracles?

Is multiple sclerosis fatal?

The extent of neurological impairment in multiple sclerosis depends on the site and extent of the damage. Therefore, the nature and severity of specific symptoms vary greatly between individuals. The course of disease is difficult to predict and symptoms may relapse , progress or undergo spontaneous remission . Most people with multiple sclerosis can expect 95 percent of the normal life expectancy.

The preacher from our old church had MS. When he was diagnosed he had reached the point of being unable to walk. The doctors put him on some meds. that didn't seem to help. His wife started seaching for alternate treatments and found that eating meat could make MS worse. They both went on a strict vegetarin diet, she also had him take things like ginko, and ginseng, That was 7 yrs ago. He is still walking, he is working as a painter, and until just recently had been in remission.He is still doing better then the doctors ever thought he would but he had 7 yrs. of almost symptom free time. He is still walking, but has to rest alot now especially when the weather is very hot. He is a house painter. He said that was easier then being a preacher:)
