Judi and I have been friends for over thirty-two years. Back then, she was a talented member of our community's dance company, as well as a fine musician and composer of inspiring songs, which she performed with great exuberance.
A number of years passed, and I moved across the country. Aside from a couple of brief visits, we were apart for twenty years until four years ago, when I moved back to live near Judi again. I was shocked and saddened to see how debilitated from the MS she had become. It was obvious how much she struggled to walk, and how difficult it was for her even to sit up. She seemed fatigued and mentally distracted. Every year her condition worsened.
Judi was extremely diligent in her search for any venue that would help relieve the terrible effects of the disease: neuropathic specialists, medications--both allopathic and naturapathic, special exercises, and expensive equipment. It appeared that none of it made much of a difference--until she began the MS Recovery Diet.
The physical changes alone were obvious to me, even after a few months on the diet. Her previous energy, both physically and mentally, was returning. I saw her recently and was amazed and delighted to see the return of my dear and exuberant friend--Judi was back!
