Janie's Success Story
By Duncan McDowel
Wed Sep 18, 2002
My wife was diagnosed with Chronic Progressive Multiple Sclerosis over 15
years ago. I took her to the best MS specialists in Houston for treatment
for about 10 years. Eventually the neurologists told us, in essence, that
they had done all they could for her, but her case was hopeless and there
was no need to come back. They had done all they could for her, go home and
wait to die. She almost did.
After that, around 1994, we decided to try alternatives and holistic
therapies. She eventually wound up on the Gerson Therapy, which consists of
heavy detoxification and nutritional therapy. This consists of making a
glass of fresh organic juice and drinking it every hour on the hour, for 8 -
12 glasses per day. No other food except things like vitamins, minerals,
essential fatty acids such as flax seed oil, etc. and purified water. The
detox consisted of colon cleanses, kidney cleanses, liver cleanses, coffee
enemas, removal of "silver" dental fillings (poisonous mercury amalgam
fillings) and chelation to remove the mercury from the body. Also, removal
of root canal teeth and repair of cavitations were part of the dental
cleanup.
We also got Hulda Clark's book, Cure For All Diseases and tried to do
everything she recommends the best we could, including building the zapper
and using it, treatment for parasites, etc. She has also been treated with
IV hydrogen peroxide, hyperbaric oxygen, and a few other things.
Janie has now recovered her health to about 90% of normal. All of her
symptoms are either gone or improved now. To look at her you can't tell she
has ever been sick. However she still has a few problems we need help with.
The biggest problem is a stinging and burning pain in the feet and legs,
along with an electric shock stinging and vibrating sensation, such as when
you hit your funny bone on your elbow. We have been to several MD type
doctors and three alternative or homeopathic doctors with no help. She has
been treated for the pain in many ways, all were a waste of time and money,
except maybe the PAP IMI machine (pulsed magnetic therapy, similar to the
Thumpy machine). She just started using it last week and it seems to have
helped some, but too early to tell yet, as far as long term relief.

More advice by Duncan:
I think the basic approach to treating MS is half nutritional and half
detoxing. Many other people who post on the MSCured Yahoo Group have had
good luck with dietary changes. Janie and I now try to eat organic produce
as much as possible, either raw or steamed, and limit our consumption of
meat. We eat little or no sugar, fried foods, coffee, soft drinks, dairy
products or junk food. Good places to start are the Best Bet Diet, books:
Eat Right For Your Type and Enter The Zone and Sugar Busters. Also see Foods
That Heal - Foods That Kill at www.curezone.com. The book we have used till
we wore it out is Dr. Hulda Clark's Cure For All Diseases.
The other thing that causes diseases is parasites. Everyone with a
degenerative disease should follow Hulda Clark's program to rid themselves
of parasites, whether they think they have them or not. I have spoken with
several people who were tested for parasites in the doctor's office and it
came back negative, then they did a parasite cleanse anyway and saw obvious
results of dead parasites coming out. You can find out about parasites and
the treatment at www.curezone.com also.
What made it all work for Janie was that she stayed with the program very
strictly for years and never cheated on the bland diet, and she did all the
necessary things no matter how unpleasent they were, such as drinking bitter
juices or parasite remedies or taking coffee enemas. I think there are very
few people who will do so many unpleasant things for so long. Most people
are unwilling to even change their diet. And many people won't try anything
that their doctor doesn't tell them to do. And we all know how traditional
doctors feel about alternative therapies.
I think the most actual improvements that anyone with MS can achieve is with
nutritional changes and detoxing that they do themselves at home, not by
using pharmaceutical drugs prescribed by neurologists. Treating the whole
body from the inside out is the best way to attack any degenerative disease.
I found a good website that I haven't seen before that addresses this very
issue of treating MS with nutritional changes and supports research to prove
it. Have a look at www.direct-ms.org/info.html.
Treating and masking one symptom at a time is a waste of effort, as far as
long term healing is concerned. Giving someone aspirins for recurring
headaches does nothing to cure the cause and solve the real problem. And
this is the approach that most doctors seem to take. When we asked our
neurologist about a MS diet he said, "Do whatever you want to as far as
diet, it won't make any difference."

I wrote to Duncan and Janie McDowell to ask permission to place her story on
my website after I had seen it on a support group online. This is the reply
I received from Duncan. (Marie Flowers)

Hi Marie,
Thanks for your nice note.
You may feel free to use Janie's story in any way that will help. It has
already been used by Dr. Hulda Clark on her website, DaveQ on his website
(which is now defunct), the Gerson Therapy website, and published in the "MS
One-to-One" newsletter. Also, it used to be on our website, which is down
now. Many people have called her and emailed her to discuss what they could
do to heal their MS and other chronic degenerative diseases by the same
method that she used. I think almost all of them were unwilling to give up
salt, sugar, fried foods, coffee, cigarettes, carbonated drinks, artificial
sweeteners, chocolate, alcoholic beverages, etc., like she did. For some
reason, they will not give up burgers and fries and other junk food just to
cure a disease. Some of them say they will give it a try, but I don't think
they stay with it long enough to do any good. Most people want a quick fix,
and natural healing takes time and perseverance.
Janie did this program very strickly with absolutely no cheating for about 3
years. The nutrition and detox program included 4 coffee enemas a day for a
while, then tapered off to one a day, then 2 a week, then none as her
condition improved. The results were almost unbelievable, but
unquestionable. But many people have said that would rather stay sick than
take an enema.
I think anyone with MS that reads Janie's story can gain some HOPE in their
hopeless and depression filled life. It has inspired many people and is a
completely true story. Janie was inspired to try it from reading a book by
Jaquie Davison, a cancer survivor who used the Gerson therapy of nutrition
and detox to cure Melanoma after she was given 3 months to live.
We, too, have referred many people to holistic type dentists and ACAM
doctors for chelation, and other health care practitioners.
Feel free to use whatever you want that Janie and I have written.
When we read up on the dangers of mercury poisoning from dental fillings we
were misled to think that after the fillings were removed she would be cured
within a few hours or days. No mention of chelation or details of mercury
detox were ever discussed with us. A close personal friend with an uncle who
is a naturopath told us about that. If not for him she would still be sick.
(Janie remembers that Dr. Hal Huggins did tell her that she had to detox
after removing amalgam. Husbands and wives never agree 100% on a story.
Editor's comment.) I have caught flack from other people on some support
groups who say that they had their fillings replaced but are still sick. I
always ask what detox they did and they either don't reply or say they did
nothing and the whole thing is a waste of money. They say they were scammed
and got their hopes up for nothing and are still sick. Most of them are now
bitter. I always try to get them to do some detox, but they send me an angry
reply. Many people hear that replacing their mercury fillings will solve all
their problems, but no mention is made of detox.
For mercury detox, we have tried many things, and DMSA is far and away the
best, in my opinion. Next would be EDTA chelation, then sweating (sauna,
etc.). I'm sure you are familiar with this, but many others may not be.
Thanks again,
Duncan
