What better source than a physician who battled MS as a patient for 24 years Unlike the 'cure for MS' books published for decades (none yet deemed valid by the scientific community), this one aims to help patients deal with the reality of chronic complications of MS, sharing new strategies. Why 'new' ones Older strategies didn't work so well. For example, using long-recommended conventional, medical wisdom, MS patients still got more urinary tract infections.
