She's by no means stupid - far from it - but her interests are generally quite simplistic (football, TV, the odd crime thriller). One can only try.

She was given a pretty new drug when it was in the testing stages, which involved her getting some shot every 6 months and I think it may have helped a little (she's not had any MS related strokes since) but she's also had to deal with lung cancer this past year. While she seems to have responded well to the treatment, I think that too would be something that a diet much lower in sugars would also respond well to. Part of the neurological/dermatological issues she has suffered with over the years include psoriasis (worse than what I get) and again, I'm sure a lower-carb diet would help in that area.

But like you said...you can lead a horse to water...



All these illnesses go back to diet.

My mother has had psorasis her whole life. I could tell you the radical treatments, but at 86 her rashes are the best ever. Her diet changed a little a few years ago after her husband died and the stress of caring for him was gone, too.

She eats fewer meals. Often once, sometimes two meals. She can buys what ever she wants. Meals are small but packed with nutrients.

Ive tried suggesting elimination diet, but she us happy with her current level of rashes.
