Fantastic video Dr. Beaber. I have had tremendous success with OMS. I had my first discernible MS symptoms 14 years ago but was not diagnosed at that time. After a brief hospitalization and treatment with steroids I adopted a vegetarian diet and started doing yoga to regain my balance. I added meditation along the way and did not give MS another thought... until 11 years later when I started getting more symptoms. I was diagnosed with MS and almost immediately started following OMS (but without the seafood or egg whites. I don’t eat any animal products). I also started DMD. It has been 2.5 years and I feel great! My MRIs show no new activity. Thanks for all you do!
@@EvenSoItIsWell Hello.. Can you please tell me what is DMD which you followed? and have you followed the diet on your own or joined some program offering the curriculum? Your reply would be much appreciated. One of my family members have been recently diagnosed with this disease, and I am searching every nook and corner to deal with this disease. Thanks in advance dear.
Baldip kaur I chose glatiramer acetate (Copaxone), but choosing a medication is an intensely personal decision and should be done with lots of research and working with your doctor. I follow the program on my own and am also part of an local OMS circle (support group) which is very helpful. There is also a very active OMS community online. Please feel free to check out my UA-cam channel as well.
I read the book and found it very interesting. Not at all boring but that might be because I had personal interest on what was being said. I adopted the OMS lifestyle and I can say that I didn't have any relapse and my last 3 bianual MRIs showed no new brain lesions. I started adopting the life style almost immediately after my diagnosis. I never took the medication because the symptoms alone would make me sicker than I ever was with MS... And I must say that the diet part was easier to follow than the meditation part. That took some time but it's on its way. I must admit that compared to before the diagnosis, my life is much better now.
I've been following OMS for 9 years - I've read this book and the previous edition, I've also been on a retreat. This approach has changed my life and my MS for the better - I hate to think what state I would be in if I hadn't taken it all on board. As I said at the time "What have I got to lose by giving it a try?".
I’ve read this book. A lot of it was reassuring because it made sense of connections that I had suspected myself. I’m beginning to adopt the programme and already noticing benefits. I wish more studies were around to cement some of the ideas in this book! I actually thought that my body was trying to tell me it had developed a dairy allergy after my first attack because I kept breaking out. Now that I’ve switched to plant milks and cut out cheese and other dairy products, I feel a lot more like my original self. There’s definitely something in there. I loved the way it explained the differences between immune responses and how we can encourage our immune systems to respond in a kinder way.
The book works.His protocal was based on the 40 year research and study of the low fat Diet of M.S. patients by Dr. Roy Swank ,who really did the groundwork for Jelineks theory and book.Jelinek did some modifications to Swanks diet but the original research was done by Dr. Roy Swank.I hope Jelinek gives Swank credit where credit is due in his books
I went to the OMS Retreat and read the very first version of the book and later the 2011 edition in 2015. The retreat changed my life!! I must admit, I struggled to read George's book during the first 8 years of my diagnosis for similar reasons you mentioned in your comments about the technical details. I have begun to integrate Nrf2 Activation and also am following Medical Medium - Anthony William in my campaign to overcome RRMS. Currently I am writing my own memoir about my MS diagnosis, lifestyle and the journey I have been on to switch to a much more holistic lifestyle to live well despite my diagnosis. I'll let you know when it is ready... looking for some people to provide testimonies for the cover if this is of interest? I do highlight our need as individuals to take responsibility and become an advocate for understanding and knowing what is right for us in my book... I left a lot of blind faith in my medical team in those early years (kept George's book in a drawer for 8 years before I "woke up") I do note neurology and the MS world is shifting and with social media and the resources available, we have so much power to learn more about what we can do and who can help. George's book is one resource and the OMS community he has created helps too. Today I am a reiki practitioner and lifestyle coach for those of us with dis-ease wanting to become empowered to heal our lives energetically and naturally.
Thank you for the video! My story in brief, I was diagnosed with MS in 2013 when I was 21 years old, but I had symptoms a year prior the diagnosis. I discovered OMS 4 years ago, I'm following it since then. So far everything is good.
I have had MS for 28 years, I also have a PhD in nutrition and a master's in neuroscience. I agree much of this book is very good. The principles of the OMS diet and lifestyle are great for people with MS. I do believe that information about Dairy is not yet well supported. I look forward to what's the thing to some more of your videos. Thank you!
I agree that the link between dairy an MS is not 100% clear, though there is some epidemiologic evidence and a theoretical basis for the connection. I do have a dedicated video on this: ua-cam.com/video/Cey5muWJBs0/v-deo.html
I was already living a healthy lifestyle and exercising, eating a pescetarian diet. I had two relapses then nothing for three years. The next year I got sucked into the "saturated fat is good for you" argument and had three relapses. I was finally diagnosed, prescribed medication (tecfidera) and started the programme about the same time. That was in January last year. Since then, no relapses. I've run three sub-4 hour marathons and other trail marathons and ultras. I've taken up yoga - I'm still not very good at meditation but this helps! My lymphocytes are low again and I've had so many colds this year, any tips on that greatly received!
@@DrBrandonBeaber thanks! This was my fourth road marathon (I mostly run trail). I ran the first with double vision in 4:17 but I'm slowly (very slowly) getting my times down. Actually I have more comments on the book. I have an MSc in Food Policy that I have never really used for anything until I read the book... And now I'm really glad I did it! It was very dense and tough going in parts, although as it's organised in "steps" you can read it bit by bit and that's how I recommend others tackle it. Like you I'm not completely convinced by the evidence on dairy. But I'm trying to lessen my impact on the planet so that made it easier to give dairy up. Egg I'm not sure about. I've read Dr Lisa Mosconi's book Brain Food which recommends up to one egg a week. Egg was easy to cut out too though so I have (and egg white is easy to substitute so I don't use that either). I have only had one egg since starting the programme, when I was halfway up a mountain in Morocco, and at that moment it was the best thing I'd ever eaten. I am considering reintroducing egg although limiting consumption.
i am planning to read this book - i have MS since 2009 - am 66 years old - my only two areas of concern that i want to heal are Bladder Control & Fatigue....nice video of yours and will be watching all others.....god bless
I read this book in 2007 (when it was called Taking Control of Multiple Sclerosis) just before being diagnosed with MS. I used it for a number of years, occasionally taking medication as well. As I’ve already said in response to the Wahls Protocol video, in the end the OMS diet did not work for me and I changed to the Wahls Protocol, which is working. There are lots of similarities between the 2 diets but there are a couple of things that I think have made the difference for me after moving to the WP. Firstly, the inclusion of meat and secondly, a more rigorous approach to eating that ensures that you get specific nutrients. Having said that, there are many positives to the OMS diet, and it does work for some. I also think that it is a much easier diet to move into compared to WP, so if you’re not used to eating in a strict way, OMS could be the best place for you to start. One of the best things about both OMS and WP is that you are being proactive, rather than just letting a doctor make decisions for you, and I believe that this is really important. (Please note, I am not saying that doctors are not helpful or not needed, but that it is important in the end that you make the decision that’s right for your body.). The other thing that I really loved when I started OMS was getting out into the sun again (particularly after having drummed into me over many years that the sun is the enemy). It just feels SO good. In terms of the book itself, I am mathematical and studied statistics, so I LOVED all the numbers and studies etc. However, if that is not your thing and you’re interested in OMS, you might enjoy the book Recovering From Multiple Sclerosis, also by George Jelinek, along with Karen Law. It is a collection of real life stories from OMSers.
I may have been wrong about this book being too technical and tedious for some readers. I have some "blue-collar" patients who enjoyed the book and found it easily readable.
This is one of the first books I read when I was diagnosed in 2010 I have not read the latest edition however I followed much of his suggestions and have had good outcome.
Thanks for sharing Robert. He is currently working on a new book which will be published in 2022. I will try to interview him about OMS for this channel at some point.
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 1 month after I turned 50. My grandma is 96 and had it since she was in her 20s. I have been on WORLD HERBS CLINIC MS HERBAL FORMULA (w ww worldherbsclinic co m), the first TWO MONTHS was daily and now I am on 3 times a week. It has made a tremendous difference for me. The fatigue never gets to me again. When I do too much, I don’t feel weak anymore..
Great video... I found your videos useful and immediately hit subscribe but. Doctor, I know its quite difficult to predict but still as per your experience if a person keeps following plant based diet, flax seed oil regime and daily exercise routine, such person can work efficiently and normally at his workplace for how many years post diagnosis? I mean as per your experience? I know its hard to predict.
I have had patients do well even after 50 years of the disease despite no specific diet or lifestyle while others are already unable to work at the time of diagnosis. The amount of individual variation is incredible.
@@yamahaeddie1 One could consider the OMS program or even aspects of the terry wahls diet to be "plant based." There is also a randomized trial on John McDougall's diet at OHSU showing some benefit in fatigue in MS.
Thanks for the recommendation! I guess I will read the book before making the change to another DMD. (Tecfidera doesn't seem to work as well as it did any more.)
Thank you for this review! I haven't read the book but like his approach, especially because he encourages DMT's along with diet and exercise, where many other diets do not. How do you feel about his recommendation to supplement with flax seed oil? Is this something you suggest to your patients? I actually like the taste and put it on my salads, but it is costly and difficult to find. Thanks again.
I think that the flax seed oil recommendation is very reasonable and is supported by his HOLISM study (supposedly, the results are slightly more favorable than with fish oil in fact)
If you have ms...read this book. Simple. It's true that it is a detailed analysis, but each section is summarised. Prof Jelinek has ms and he lost his mum as a result of it so he has first hand knowledge of dealing with it. I've followed the program for 4 years and it's been a life changer with good results on the MRI. The book describes 7 steps to OMS...not just the diet issue and they all add-up to a much improved lifestyle. With the mass of information availableon ms I listen to two sources...Dr Booster and the OMS. I'm in the UK where we now have 41 OMS ambassador's and there's over 100 worldwide...you can search OMS ambassador's to see if there's one near you....if not, become one!
For the people that read the book and followed the program- Did you take any DMTs during this time or you were completely following the food program? I am confused whether to try it out without any medications and see what happens..
I found your videos very interesting, thank your for doing this. Any comments about the other book from Dr. Jelinek, recovering from Multiple Sclerosis - Real Life Stories? I am also interested to know your opinion about Dr Doidge, and his book The Brain's Ways of Healing.
