Every national multiple
sclerosis society should be spokesperson of MS patients and they do a good job
in many respects but there is a flaw.
They want to help you and at
the same time, their hands are tied in a certain way, as you will see below
causing a conflict of interests.
Next to providing information on the
disease itself, they should inform you about treatments that are proven to cure
MS. The latter is what you are really interested in, what you want to know.
After discovering that MS
can be well treated with dietetic treatment, I checked websites of national multiple
sclerosis society organizations.
They say a lot but nothing about
diet is the key to cure MS and that thousands and thousands were already
successfully treated this way.
Instead, they declare diet ineffective.
How do they know?
So I got in touch with
several of them and offered to cooperate with the aim to help people like you
to get rid of the pain, the fear and all limitations you experience
because of MS.
It is unbelievable but each
national multiple sclerosis society as well as their local branches where
uninterested. Asking for their reasons there was nothing but excuses.
It wouldn't be
scientifically proven. It would be ineffective. They may not promote any
specific treatment. They would have their own diet specialists was another
excuse.
Most multiple sclerosis
societies did not answer at all.
Then I found their head
organization. They declare sweeping all diets as risky and ineffective.
I sent
them an e-mail, included their information and asked questions about it like
what specific experience they have with diet. How do they know that diet
would be ineffective if thousands were already cured?
Here is what they say on
their website. "People from all backgrounds with a variety of
experiences, skills and abilities are welcomed by national MS societies."
Consequently, I proposed
again cooperation.
Guess what, again no answer!
Members of the national
multiple sclerosis society of America were cited in a NYT article.
An associate vice president said about studying the
influence of nutrition on MS: “Thus far, no researcher has been interested in
taking this on. The medications seemed to show more promise.”
You are certainly as interested as I am in getting an answer
to the simple question "promising to whom?"
A colleague
of her, vice
president for biomedical research at the national multiple sclerosis society,
said in an interview: “We’d never suggest changing one’s diet in place of taking
a therapy approved by the Food and Drug Administration."
Why not? What's behind all this?
Therapies approved by the FDA means taking drugs.
Really approved are only two
characteristics.
Both have been known for decades. Because of heavy side-effects a
great many of patients have to stop drug treatment.
Although it should be the duty of any national multiple
sclerosis society to help you to be cured they deny putting diet as a safe
alternative in
the first place.
As this is absolutely inapprehensible, I dug deeper and
discovered.
Each national multiple sclerosis society is a foundation,
a nonprofit organization, which gives them a tax exempted status. Thereby they are no businesses, make no turnover,
and no profit. Nevertheless, they need money to pay their staff
and finance their campaigns. How do they do this?
All foundations are financed by donations. Getting it from individuals will hardly
pay their bills. The question was who would have a high enough interest in
providing the money they need? The pharmaceutical industry!
On one website, I found a list of corporate donors, which is
very telling. The
screenshot below is proving this and speaks for itself.
List of corporate donors - the
answer to many questions
The main
financers are exactly those companies that produce MS drugs.
-
They have the most
money.
-
They have the greatest interest that any alternative treatment is discredited,
especially if it's something that is free of charge like diet, as you have to eat
anyway.
The pharmaceutical industry has been grabbing much money out of your pocket and
there is a lot of profit to make.
An international study of 2007 proves it. The results are shocking.
-
The direct annual cost of medical care of MS patients in the US
was 27,975 US$ per person.
-
The average was 13,198 US$ in 15
selected countries.
-
The indirect cost amounted to 7,844 US$
per patient
in the US.
-
The average was 11,383 US$.
The WHO - World Health Organization acts on the assumption that more than 2,500,000 people
in the world suffer from MS.
Based on the average overall cost this is good for revenue of
61.452.500.000 US$
More than 61 billions every year!
This draws a completely new picture.
If any national multiple sclerosis society would promote diet as what it is,
highly effective and free of risk, the big shots would stop financing them. Ask
yourself, who would
bite the hand that feeds them?
