"Follow this diet, and you'll lead a normal life."
Diagnosis with MS can be scary enough--Living with MS doesn't have to be. Dr. Swank's promise to all his patients was the same: "Do as I say, and you'll lead a normal life." We're here to extend that wisdom to MS patients everywhere.
Take control.
The diet is simple, but what you eat is up to you.
Enjoy an expansive variety of foods and cuisine, all while closely following the Swank MS Diet. Many popular and familiar dishes are already Swank-friendly, and many more can easily be adapted.
You can do this.
We're here to help!
We all know following any diet can be difficult, so we're here to help you! When it comes to what foods you can eat and which to avoid, recipes for Swank-friendly meals, and support for the day-to-day experiences of living with MS, the Swank MS Foundation offer years of knowledge and a friendly, supportive community.
The results are in.
It works!
Treatment of MS with the Swank MS Diet--especially if diagnosed early--has been shown to have serious benefits: A low exacerbation rate of just 5% after 2 years of treatment, many patients living decades beyond initial expectations, leading active and productive lives.
