Google's $12.5 billion deal to acquire Motorola Mobility is not likely to face any serious challenges from the requisite government review process, Stifel Nicolaus analyst Rebecca Arbogast asserted in a research note Monday afternoon.
The deal, she writes, is likely to win government clearance, as "there are no antitrust or regulatory concerns that would constitute deal breakers." That said, she adds that the deal is likely to attractive "significant scrutiny," and that it is possible some conditions could be imposed.
The acquisition will require U.S. and European Union approvals; the transaction is expected to close late this year or early in 2012.
"We agree that it would seem unlikely the deal would be blocked in the absence of any significant horizontal market concentration issues," Arbogast writes. "We also don't see why the government would have a problem with Google arming itself in the smart-phone intellectual property wars by gaining access to the 17,000+ patents (and applications for 7,500 more) Motorola brings to the battle — a primary Google objective."
But she adds that the government is likely to examine the deal closely at a time when the Federal Trade Commission is looking into Google's Android practices and other issues. "Google said that it had talked with some of its top Android partners and that they were all enthusiastic about the Motorola Mobility deal, but we can't rule out that some Android partners or others may have some concerns that would lead them to seek greater assurances and possibly government conditions, perhaps regarding nondiscriminatory treatment," she adds.

Loving these photographs by the lovely Luisa Brimble .....
.... kind of wishing my morning ritual was like this !!!
a scrapbook of inspiring things
i like the story these shots tell - the first one in particular.
Oh, me too! I barely have time to take a breath in the morning (probably because I have the propensity to sleep in).
love these. Thanks Mandy!
Oh I wish too!
How different it is from my mornings/reality!! :D
Love Luisa's photos! wonderful!
I'm a morning person so I try to have a nice, relaxed morning ritual but it doesn't look as photogenic as this...
nice but i am guessing you probably have a nice ritual!!!

Suzuki Bandit. I thought it was a 400cc but I'm told it's the 250cc model.
If Suzuki made this available today, Ninja 250 and Hyosung GT250 sales would halve overnight.

And that's why I stopped driving!
If you ever feel down or you just don't feel like you have a friend in the world, hop on your motorcycle and take a ride around town. Just count how many other riders throw you the peace sign, a wave or just a friendly nod. When was the last time you did this or got this gesture while driving your car? Sadly I can't say I do. I turn into a robot like everyone else. I turn up the radio and tune the world out….I don't ride often but when I do its is a fun experience. Maybe it's because a rider you pass today might not be around tomorrow. All I know is that when I ride my motorcycle I experience life just a little bit more than everyone else driving around. Nothing like the cool fast wind blasting you or the taking in the sounds and engine vibration when you twist back on the throttle. All I know is it's fun and addicting.
so Bill Engvall has become famous in part for his Here's your sign jokes. They are great fun and point out often a stupid question that someone else has asked. What he fails to point out is what happens if you try this out yourself. My friend and I were out off roading and bottomed out the truck completely. There wasn't going to be a way to move the truck without the help of another vehicle. We weren't too worried because our friends weren't too far away and kept cracking jokes about the situation. A random stranger pulls up and before he can say anything, I tell him its ok to laugh. The first words out of his mouth are, "Yah stuck?" and just as soon as he finishes, I quickly reply, "Nope, thought this was the perfect place to park." He didn't laugh and instead I believe he was insulted. After he left, we had a good laugh about it.

Selena Gomez Poses for Elle Magazine: Too Sexy, or Age Appropriate?

In case you haven't heard, Selena Gomez is almost 20 years old. So there's no reason why she shouldn't be posing in a sexy photo shoot for Elle magazine. However, for some of her Disney fans, pics like these are kind of weird.
One thing is clear: Justin Bieber's girlfriend, who will next be seen in an indie flick, is all grown up. "I get offered the teenybopper movies, and I've done that. I haven't done a mega-hundred-billion-dollar Transformers movie, but that's not what I want to do either," she tells the mag.
But she has no regrets about her Disney roots. "Disney is a machine, so people automatically assume that you can't work for the channel unless you act and sing and dance and sign up for all that. That's absolutely not true. I always did everything the way I wanted to do it," she says.
Gomez grew up poor -- "I can remember about seven times when our car got stuck on the highway because we'd run out of gas money" -- but these days, she's enjoying being spoiled by the Biebs, who recently rented out LA's Staples Center for a private screening of "Titanic." "If I'll share anything with you, it's that he really is a hopeless romantic. I had just mentioned it in the car - all I said is that I really want to see Titanic again, and then..." What do you think of Selena Gomez's sexy photo shoot?

Age appropriate+3She's one of the few celebs that I enjoy on television and listening to. She's a talented and beautiful young lady and I think this is just a break through into adulthood. I think every guy and gal should feel sexy at 20 .
And my 2yo son stops the moment she pops up on television...he's loves her...I may just have some beautiful latino grandbabies someday :oP - Jess 2012/06/10 00:39:10

Hugh flinched slightly at the touch of her hand being that his personal practice limits all physical contact to just mere finger tips. Still, he kept his smile figuring that obviously his and their practices of worship arn't exactly the same.
...just as long as... that's all."oh, thank you." Hugh gave a slight dip of his head to the priestess in blue as she announced that they were allowed to go in.
Hugh then looked to Robeline, his shoulders a little higher with confidence and his gaze just teeming with excitement, his stoic and somber resolve was showing a bit of sunshine again and so Hugh was deemed worthy to go where possibly no other of his religion has gone before and he looked on rather contently.
He remembered to follow Robeline closely even if he did look down at the mosaic picture under his feet for a while, trying to figure out what the heck he was beholding but alas he didn't have enough time as he still needed to stick to Robeline. Yet again he followed her to another marvel, the walls seemed to give way to uncover a precious garden around a magnificent statue of a woman.
"well..! .. would you look'at that.." Hugh again found himself entrapped by the beauty of what he's come to know as the different and foreign.
Suddenly, Robeline threw Hugh out of his heavily intrigued gaze that was brought on by the chanting at the mention of a guide. " huh? what? who?" He shook his head and rubbed his face some, turning his head to track Robeline's movements towards said guide.
"hey..!" He said finally and reluctantly moved up to this man among women. ( well, not including himself!) " uhh.. excuse me? Sir?" Hugh started out with a raised hand to try and grab his attention, "I think we're looking for help? Sir?"

I love the way the current Banners that have been made! They look professional and awesome. My only suggestion is could (and will) there be newer ones as more games are added? I am a huge Legend of Zelda fan and was hopeing to see a Skyward Sword one for my Nook but was sad when there wasn't
Thanks for taking the time to read this <3
I'll be working on the new banners soon. We are making some new design choices and it will take a while till every game will be covered. But Zelda will be one of the first ;)

During interview for miss A's mini album, Suzy told the media that she and her Dream High co-star Kim Soo Hyun still very much keep in touch.
She said that they filmed Dream High in winter last year so she's understand how hard it is for Kim Soo Hyun to shoot a drama (The Moon That Embraces The Sun / TMTETS) in winter again.
She also confessed that Kim So Hyun asked her whether she's watching TMTETS and when she said that she couldn't because of her busy schedule, Kim Soo Hyun replied in a tone she described as a saeguk tone , saying : Are you really not watching it ? Why don't you watch it ?
Then Suzy started to watch the drama and commented that Lee Hwon character was so different than Samdong's in Dream High. She said that Kim Soo Hyun indeed looks like a king but sometime she recognized Samdong's aura when Lee Hwon showed his mischievous side.
They're so close and so cute, we don't mind and we're not surprised if they end up as a couple.

When shopping for a puppy or kitten, it's important to purchase them from a store or dealer complying with the Pet Lemon Law, a Florida statute that imposes certain obligations on sellers and offers recourse to consumers should problems arise. Pinellas County's Justice and Consumer Services is educating residents about their rights as new pet owners.
Under Florida Statute, Chapter 828, dogs and cats must be at least eight weeks old when sold or offered for sale. Animals must also have a health certificate signed by a licensed and accredited veterinarian within the past 30 days. The certificate should document all required vaccinations, tests and treatments for internal or external parasites. It needs to be delivered to the consumer at the time of sale.
The pet store or dealer is also required to provide the buyer with information on his or her rights under the law, which includes the right to return or exchange the pet. If a licensed veterinarian deems the animal unfit within 14 days of the sale, the buyer can be reimbursed for the veterinary expenses.
Puppies and kittens may look irresistible in a pet shop window, but buying on impulse isn't always a good idea. Consumers should always research the size and breed of the animal for suitability with his or her lifestyle and circumstances. Always check the health certificate to make sure it complies with the Pet Lemon Law.
If there's a problem with your pet after purchase, contact the seller first. If the seller won't resolve the problem, contact the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Division of Animal Industry at (850) 410-0951 or (850) 410-0900.
For information on consumer issues, call the Pinellas County Department of Justice and Consumer Services at (727) 464-6200. Visit www.pinellascounty.org for easy-to-download complaint forms or for more information about your rights as a consumer.

The MS Diet
I have tried to synthesise the large volume of information I have researched over the past 2 years into a single page. This is it.
Reducing and even eliminating MS symptoms can be a reality. This page outlines how eating the right foods and can help significantly to improve Multiple Sclerosis symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease. I call this my MS diet. It has been compiled with the help of a number of medical doctors and experts, diet consultants, and months of intensive research. It has helped to keep me living an almost normal life. I hope it will be a help to you too.
My Inspiration
Ultimately, my real inspiration has been to help myself. As selfish as it sounds, this has spurred me on to read countless books, speak with numerous experts and medical professionals and spend hours on the Internet. But now, my passion is to share what I have learnt, and help other women with MS.
I have customised a MS diet for me, and you should too. I have used bits and pieces from various sources to put together a MS diet I believe that works. Yes, I am learning more everyday and will be updating things as I go along.
Why Is Diet Important To Multiple Sclerosis?
Food has the power to heal as well as to hurt. As people affected by MS, we need to focus on food that heals. Everything we put into our mouths ends up in our cells, the power houses of the factory that is our bodies.
Certain foods will help the factory work more efficiently whereas other foods will slow down productivity and cause certain parts to malfunction. Such is the importance of the casual choices we make several times a day when we decide what to eat.
For people with MS, this decision is even more important than for the average person. There are certain foods that seem to cause an allergic reaction in the body and activate the immune system. An auto-immune attack follows which results in a variety of multiple sclerosis symptoms.
Before we discuss individual foods and how they impact our bodies, we must take a quick look at why the body reacts negatively towards certain food particles. Our stomach lining or gut is usually impermeable to food particles, preventing them from passing into the bloodstream. In a healthy gut, there are millions of microorganisms that help food to be properly digested and aid in keeping the stomach wall nice and healthy. However, it can become damaged through the use of substances such as antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, alcohol and tobacco.
Certain foods provoke an immune response
Sugar and refined food products are also implicated in the progression of Multiple Sclerosis. It can also be caused when the healthy bacteria in our stomach is taken over by unhealthy bacteria. This condition is often referred to as Candida. Unfortunately most of us have a leaky gut now and then so we should all be carefully listening to our bodies to find out what foods make us feel vibrant with health or leave us feeling sluggish and bloated. A healthy MS diet will help minimise this as far as possible.
Leaky Gut Syndrome – Activation of the Immune System
Our damaged stomach lining is now permeable and starts allowing tiny particles of undigested food into the bloodstream. The immune system mistakes the food particles for invaders and is activated to attack. When you eat that particular food again, the immune system remembers it as an invader and calls in the troops to begin an attack. A food sensitivity is thus created. Researchers have found that immune cells are first activated in the blood stream before they cross the blood brain barrier and do their damage in the nervous system. Just one tiny particle of food can cause this reaction so it's best to completely eliminate foods that you know could possibly lead to a relapse. That small bite of something 'naughty' just isn't worth it!
Is This A Cure For MS?
There isn't concrete evidence that diet is a "cure" for MS – we all know there is no cure yet. Many doctors are still not convinced diet helps at all to reduce symptoms and exacerbations [we'll forgive them for that!]. The difficulty is that everyone reacts differently to having Multiple Sclerosis. Just as some people are allergic to certain foods while others are not, following a MS diet correctly is not a guarantee that it will work for you. But, you only have something to gain by following it – your body will love you for it! Increasing your overall health is going to benefit you in ways you haven't yet imagined. It might not "cure" you, but you will see drastic results and that I can promise. I believe that everyone has a great chance of managing their MS successfully through diet. Once you understand that the stomach and MS are linked, it is clear that a healthy gut can reduce MS symptoms. Reason enough for you to give it a chance and stick to it for the long run, until a real cure is found.
Just before we get into the MS diet details, remember, I'm not a doctor so please ensure you consult with a medical professional to see whats right for you – I'm just someone who wants to share what has worked for me!
A. Foods To Avoid – Dangerous for your MS Diet
MS nutrition is a vital element of the defence of body again Multiple Sclerosis. Food that causes a "flare up" of symptoms in me, may not necessarily do the same to someone else. It is, however advisable to cut out all of the following foods for at least three months. This is enough time for your body to rid itself of all traces of these foods and for your stomach lining to heal itself. It should also be sufficient time for you to see an improvement in your symptoms.
Some people are able to reintroduce a few of these foods after this period without experiencing a serious MS relapse. However, most people find that their symptoms start returning again and that they need to permanently exclude these foods from their Multiple Sclerosis diet. Every person is different and you need to listen carefully to your body and the way it is responding to what you are eating.
The following list is about every day foods that you might eat as part of your normal diet. I have specifically excluded supplements as I will be going into that in a lot more detail separately, so this page is primarily about foods you should and shouldn't eat as part of your Multiple Sclerosis diet.
It appears that not all of the following foods have the same negative impact on every person with Multiple Sclerosis – if you are aware of any others, please leave a comment below.
1. Dairy/Cow's Milk Products
Foods To Avoid:
Researchers and nutritionists are becoming increasingly convinced that cow's milk consumption has a role to play in the development and maintenance of MS. Researchers have found a high correlation between cow's milk consumption and MS in many countries. Studies conducted in Germany and Canada have provided a possible reasons why this may be so. A number of cow's milk proteins appear to be targeted by the immune cells of people with MS. The cow's milk MS link is further reinforced by the finding that certain proteins in cow's milk mimic part of the myelin sheath protein, the part of myelin thought to initiate the autoimmune reaction, so it really should be excluded from your MS diet.
MS Diet Alternatives:
Rice milk, almond milk (try to make sure that these products are 100% pure with no added oils, fats, flavour or other products), coconut milk and coconut cream. Soy products are also an option but eat them with caution because some people have a negative reaction to them.
2. Gluten and Wheat
Foods To Avoid:
Bread (white and brown), barley, bulgur, cous-cous, oats, pasta, biscuits, cakes, cookies, rye.
Gluten is a protein found in the above foods. In many people with multiple sclerosis, this protein provokes the activation of the immune system, causing it to attack. It is interesting to note that wheat is a staple food in most of the countries in which MS frequently occurs. However, in many of the tropical countries, where multiple sclerosis is virtually unheard of, it is not a crop that is commonly grown.
MS Diet Alternatives:
Rice cakes, corn thins, gluten-free bread, gluten free pasta, quinoa, brown/wild/basmati rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes (keep to a minimum as you ideal want a low blood-sugar level), corn on the cob.
3. Saturated Fats
Foods To Avoid:
Dr. Roy Swank, probably the most famous Multiple Sclerosis diet researcher in the field had quite a bit to say about saturated fat. He was given the opportunity to spend 5 years researching MS and discovered that diet affected MS prognosis. His findings later became 'The Swank Diet'. One of the main proponents of his MS diet is eliminating saturated fat. His theory is that people with MS do not process saturated fats effectively which leads to embolisms of these fats forming in the bloodstream. This eventually leads to a breach the blood brain barrier, allowing activated immune cells to cross and do their damage. In Dr. Swank's longitudinal study of MS nutrition, the participants who were disciplined about saturated fat consumption saw the most dramatic improvements in their conditions.
However, Dr Terry Wahls, author and physician who has recovered from secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, does allow some saturated fats through grass-fed meats and venison – but after reading The China Study by T Campbell, I am following a more vegetarian approach as I think this more healthy overall.
MS Diet Alternatives:
Salmon and other oily fish, Extra Virgin olive oil, coconut oil, flax seed oil, carob bars (available at most health shops), cocoa and coconut oil mixed with a natural sweetener (see recipes).
4. Heated Fats (in any form)
Foods To Avoid:
Most fats change their molecular structure when they are heated at high temperatures. In this form, they cannot be absorbed by the body and instead do damage to the cells. When cooking, use a fat such as coconut oil that is not easily damaged by heat.
MS Diet Alternatives:
Note on Margarine: Even though this product is not technically a saturated fat, it is an exceptionally unhealthy fat to eat. Margarine contains trans-fatty acids which are not easily absorbed by the body. In fact, research shows that trans-fatty acids increase inflammation in the body. Margarine also contains artificial colouring agents, or it would look like bicycle grease. This is not something you want to be putting into your body!
5. Caffeine
Foods To Avoid:
Researchers have found evidence which suggests that caffeine may be bad for Multiple Sclerosis. The hormone adenosine is important for regulating the immune system and halting inflammatory reactions. It seems that caffeine can block the adenosine receptor and thus lower the effectiveness of adenosine for suppressing inflammation.
MS Diet Alternatives:
Decaffeinated coffee (this does still contain a small amount of caffeine so don't over do it), carob bars (available at most health shops), herbal teas such peppermint tea, camomile tea and fruit infused teas (as long as all the additives are natural and comply).
6. Refined Foods (with high sugar levels)
Foods To Avoid:
The more refined sugar you consume, the more insulin your body has to produce to bring down your blood sugar levels. Prolonged levels of elevated insulin have been shown to contribute to inflammation. It also has a negative, deregulating effect on the immune system. Don't even think about replacing sugar with artificial sweeteners. The sweetness of artificial sweeteners actually triggers the pancreas to secrete more insulin than regular table sugar does. Excessive sugar consumption is also one of the factors involved in candida overgrowth which leads to Leaky Gut Syndrome.
MS Diet Alternatives:
There are many gluten, dairy and sugar free biscuits and cakes that can be bought at most major supermarkets. However, I wouldn't recommend eating these products too often. You will find that most of them contain heated fats and trans fats and other artificial products.
7. Legumes
Foods To Potentially Avoid:
Acacia (and acacia gum), adzuki beans, alfalfa, black beans, black-eyed peas, broad beans (fava beans), butter beans, calico beans, canavalia beans (jack bean), cannellini beans, carob, cassia, chickpeas (garbanzo beans), edamame beans, field peas, great northern beans, green beans, green peas, guar gum, Italian beans, karaya gum, kidney beans, lentils, licorice, lima beans, locust beans, mung beans, navy beans, peanuts (that includes peanut oil and peanut butter), pinto beans, Red Bush (Rooibos), soy beans / lechtin (including soy oil, flour, black soy beans and tofu), split peas, string beans, talca gum, tamarind, tonka bean, tragancanth gum, urd flour, white beans.
There is lots of confusion around what foods are actually legumes – you might be very surprised by some of the items in this list above, I was! Generally, legumes are usually the fruits or seeds of anything that comes in a pod. Legumes are great sources of energy and protein, but some nutritionists caution their MS patients about legume, while others recommend them. Legumes are controversial foods and have been known to cause a reaction in some people with MS. Watch your symptoms carefully after eating legumes and obviously cut them out if you feel they are affecting you negatively. I have been absolutely fine with legumes in my MS diet, but after doing additional research, I have decided to eliminate them entirely from what I eat, just to be on the safe side. Some MS'ers are fine, which is why I say "potentially avoid" legumes. Not all beans are legumes, and not all legumes are beans, so make sure you are eating what you think you are eating. Also, cocoa, castor bean, vanilla bean, coffee bean, jumping bean and red bean are all not legumes! Here is a more comprehensive list of legumes if you want to clarify further (but I have not yet verified this list yet!).
Regarding green beans specifically, one of the main reasons legumes should be avoided is that they contain lectins which prevent our bodies from absorbing certain nutrients. However, green beans contain mostly fibre and a very small amount of lectin. There are people, who avoid legumes, who are actually still eating green beans and finding that they don't effect them. If you feel that they are still safe to eat, then try them for a while and see of they affect you at all. I personally avoid all legumes, just to be safe.
MS Diet Alternatives:
Quinoa, brown/wild/basmati rice (the unrefined the better), corn, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, amaranth, teff, sorghum.
8. Chicken and Eggs
Foods To Avoid:
I have not included chicken and eggs in this MS diet plan. Some professionals advise against them because of their saturated fat content. Others are happy for their patients to have 1-2 servings a week. This is a case where you need to decide what works for your body. Test them out and if your symptoms worsen then exclude them. Personally, I have decided to give these up.
MS Diet Alternatives:
9. Citrus Fruit
Foods To Potentially Avoid:
I have discovered for myself that I dont react well to citrus fruits – they directly affect my MS symptoms. This is common with some MS'ers, so if thats you, its best to avoid them entirely.

B. Foods To Embrace – A New Way Of Eating
After reading about all the foods that could be harming you, I'm sure you are thinking, 'Well, what can I eat then?'. The fabulous news is that there are so many delicious and satisfying foods that will leave you feeling so good that you will wonder why you didn't start eating this way sooner.
Excluding all of the above foods from your diet will take a complete overhaul of your current lifestyle, meal plans and shopping list. It really is an all or nothing commitment if you want to get to the point where you are symptom free.
MS Diet Essential Nutrients
The main aim of this way of eating is to get as many nutrients as you can from a variety of food sources. Supplements are great but don't work half as well as getting what you need from food.
Dr. Terry Wahls, as mentioned before (a medical doctor with MS) has seen a remarkable improvement in her symptoms with a daily dose of three platefuls of fruit and vegetables (9 cups) that deliver specific nutrients to the body. She believes there are key minerals and vitamins that are capable of treating Multiple Sclerosis. These need to be delivered consistently and in high quantities.
But what are the most important nutrients for people with MS? The top nutrients needed to help improve your MS diet are listed below:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B12
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin E
- Vitamin K
- Magnesium
- Omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids
- Zinc
Targeting these nutrients is very important, but it's not always easy to know how to include them in your diet. For this reason, I've put together recipes specifically targeting these nutrients – I hope they make it much easier for you to focus on getting them into your diet.
The following 'way of eating' is the result of much research and conversations with professional doctors and nutritionists. The success stories that I have come across have confirmed many of the diet prescriptions given to me. Mary-Ann Shearer, a well known nutritionist, has witnessed countless miracles of people who have literally been on their last legs with disease and have been restored to full health through eating nutritious, unprocessed foods. My MS diet is also largely based on findings by Dr Roy Swank as well as Dr Terry Wahls [The Wahls Foundation], who I have mentioned already.
Avoid junk food at all costs
You don't have to be a neuro-scientist to figure out that that if the body gets what it needs, it functions perfectly and can recover from any set back. Basically, you need a diet that is high in raw fruit and vegetables and supplies all the necessary nutrients. Refined junk foods must be avoided at all costs as they will rob the body of nutrients. These are the foods to ENJOY:
1. Fruit
Fruit has been referred to by many as the most perfect food. Raw fruit gives the body exactly what it needs to function at its best. Fruit has a stabilising effect on blood sugar levels. This should reduce or even eradicate cravings for refined sugar. Try to eat 'in-season' fruit whenever you can. It will taste much more delicious and have a greater amount of nutrients. See the chart on seasonal fruit below. My favourites are mango, strawberries, grapes and cherries. If I could have a fruit salad with those ingredients every any of the year, I would!
Summer Fruit:
Apricots, bananas, cherries, grapes, litchis, mangoes, peaches, nectarines, pineapples, plums, prunes, strawberries and all other berries, watermelon.
Winter Fruit:
Nutrients and Healing activity: Try to eat as many brightly coloured fruits as you can. The brighter or deeper the colour, the more nutrients and antioxidants the fruit will have. Antioxidants are vitally important as they terminate harmful free radicals which can give rise to disease. It is especially important that people with MS consume as many antioxidants as possible. Some important antioxidants are betacarotene and vitamins A,C and E. I have highlighted the fruits above that contain the highest concentration of antioxidants.
Servings per day: at least 5 but as many as you want!
Serving ideas: fruit salad, smoothie, extracted juice, freeze fruit to keep it from going bad and then use it in a smoothie (useful with fruit such as raspberries and strawberries that don't keep for too long).
2. Green vegetables
Green vegetables are high in vital nutrients and contain high amounts o chlorophyll, and sulphur. They are considered the main contingent of the MS Diet.
Broccoli, spinach, kale, dark romaine, collard greens, seaweed, parsley, artichokes, asparagus.
Nutrients and Healing Activity: Green vegetables are rich in vitamins B, A, C, K and minerals. Kale has the most nutrition per calorie of any plant. Broccoli is high in fibre and is potently packed with vitamin C. It also contains potassium, iron and vitamin K. Spinach is essential for blood clotting and bone healing. It is also known to decrease inflammation in the body and is a good source of iron. One cup of spinach provides nearly twice the amount of vitamin K you need daily. Green vegetables also keep the immune system healthy and functioning properly. These green veggies are true superfoods and it is essential that you consume them on a daily basis.
Servings per day: 3 cups of green vegetables (cup = 250ml).
I know this seems like a huge amount but you can start small and build it up.
Serving ideas: steamed, raw salad, green smoothie, extracted green juice, soups.
3. Brightly Coloured Vegetables
I like to call these the happy vegetables. They are tasty and nutritious! They also come in a large variety of shapes and sizes and are really easy to dice and throw into a salad.
Nutrients and healing activity: Full of antioxidants, they are essential foods to consume on a daily basis. Eating the variety presented above will give you another huge dose of the vitamins needed to fight Multiple Sclerosis. These include, beta-carotene, flavonoids, lycopene, potassium, and vitamin C.
Servings per day:3 cups (cup = 250ml).
Serving suggestions: steamed, baked, grilled, soups, raw salad with dips, veggie smoothie, extracted juice (carrots are particularly tasty when juiced).
4. White Vegetables
White vegetables are great tasting and help complement other dishes.
Nutrients and healing activity: These vegetables contain nutrients such as beta-glucans and lignans that provide powerful immune boosting activity. They are also rich in sulfur which is important for overall brain functioning and toxin removal. Sulfur is required for taurine synthesis. Taurine is essential for proper functioning of the cardiovascular system, our muscles, and the central nervous system. Sulfur is also required for the manufacture of glutathione, an essential antioxidant.
Servings per day: 1 cup.
Serving ideas: steamed, baked or grilled, salads, soups.
5. Non-glutenous Grains
Rich in protein and "clean" energy, these grains are far better than starches and pasta.
Nutrients and healing activity: These grains are completely gluten free and have a low glycemic index so will keep your blood sugar levels stable and decrease cravings for unhealthy foods. They are also full of essential nutrients. Quinoa, for instance, is a complete protein (contains all the essential amino acids) and is also a good source of minerals, including magnesium, iron, and selenium. It also contains B-complex vitamins, including folate, and vitamin E. Brown rice contains B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9) and vitamin K. Try avoid normal rice as this will affect your blood-sugar levels (aim for low GI).
Servings per day: Great as an accompaniment for any meal or as a snack. At least 2-3 servings a day to keep your strength and energy up.
Serving ideas: steamed, boiled, pan fried with vegetables, salad of mixed grains and vegetables, rice cakes, corn thins, popcorn (air popped).
6. Oily Fish
Oil (the "omega's") helps keep the nervous system running as it should. Fish rich in fatty acids are the best way to consume these vital nutrients.
Nutrients and healing activity: These fish have the highest omega-3 content per 3.5 grams. Omega 3 essential fatty acids are absolutely vital for people with MS as they are needed to help build up and repair the damaged myelin sheath. They may also work to decrease certain immune reactions and reduce inflammatory responses. Small studies have shown that people who consumed a diet rich in omega 3 oils had an improved relapse rate and slower disease progression.
Servings per week: 2-3 per week (not recommended to be eaten everyday because of possible mercury content).
Serving ideas: baked with spices, pan fried, steamed, casserole with vegetables.
7. Nuts and Seeds
Adding nuts and seeds to any dish can increase its nutrient value significant. Great tasting and full of energy, they are great snacks.
Almonds, cashews, pecans, brazil nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds.
Nutrients and healing activity: Nuts and seeds are rich sources of protein and essential fats. They also contain those beautiful vitamin Bs and other essential minerals like vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron. Please see the post on Nuts and Seeds for more detailed information about nutrients specific to each of them.
Servings per day: Because these foods are packed with protein and high in healthy oils, you only need a handful per day to get a serving from the protein group. However, if you feel that you need to eat more than this to improve your energy levels then go for it! The nuts and seeds that are rich in omega 3 fatty acids (flaxseed, walnut, chia and pumpkin seeds) can actually improve metabolism. I snack on nuts and seeds throughout the day as I find they keep my blood sugar levels stable and my energy levels high.
Serving suggestions: blended in smoothies, sprinkled over salads, mixed together in a snack box, added to a vegetable dish (never heat nuts at high temperatures).
Note: Some people have difficulty digesting nuts and seeds and in this case, soaking them overnight initiates the sprouting process and improves digestibility.
8. Essential condiments
I recommend adding the following condiments to your ms diet – each adds value to your nutrient in-take, and will make a significant difference to your weekly food consumption.
Extra Virgin olive oil, herb salt, fresh herbs such as rocket, homemade basil pesto, olives, sun dried tomatoes, marmite, cashew mayonnaise (see Recipes).
These are the condiments/foods that will add flavour and tastiness to any dish. They will be essential to your enjoyment of this way of eating. There is hardly a dish I eat that is not accompanied by a generous dash of olive oil and a few delicious olives. All of the above condiments can be found in the recipe section. For the purpose of this post, I am going to focus on the benefits and serving suggestions for EV olive oil.
Nutrients and healing activity: It is important that you choose EV olive oil over normal olive oil. In the oil extraction process, it doesn't get heated and thus retains all its essential fats and nutrients. It is high in omega 9 fatty acids. Importantly for people with MS, it has strong anti-inflammatory properties and contains vital antioxidants like vitamin E and beta-carotene.
Servings per day: As much as you like! Let your body lead you on this. You may start to feel that it is becoming too rich for you and that's when you know that your body has what it needs.
Serving suggestions: EV olive oil can be used with every single dish you eat. It should never be heated but can be mixed with a dish once it has been cooked. It tastes just as good and your body will love it in this pure, uncooked state.
Sprinkle over popcorn after it has been popped, dollop over baked vegetables when they have come out of the oven, throw over a freshly prepare salad, add to cooked vegetables, spread onto rice cakes that have been buttered with marmite (a personal favourite of mine).
9. Water
Water is a key ingredient for the body to operate at its best. Water is needed at every level, especially for neuron activity and brain functionality.
20 Feb 2013 - Green tea is to be avoided due to high caffeine levels in most varieties (section A5: Caffeine). Energy drinks contain creative ingredients, especially caffeine, and should also be avoided (section A5: Caffeine).
14 Mar 2013 - Have clarified legumes (section A7: Legumes) as foods to "potentially avoid" as these are fine for some MS'ers – I still avoid them to be sure. I have also added citrus fruit to the list of foods to "potentially avoid", as they do affect me and other MS'ers (section A9: Citrus Fruit).
MS Diet Conclusion
I realise that it's difficult for you to even consider giving up these foods. They are engrained in the staple diets of every westernised nation. For many of you, these foods form the majority of what you eat on a daily basis. I'm sure you are thinking that you might just starve, giving up all these foods! It is, however, possible to avoid these foods and still eat delicious and filling meals.
There were so many times in my first few weeks of following this way of eating that I said to myself, 'I can't believe I haven't been eating like this all my life!'. There were equally difficult days when I craved my favourite foods from my 'pre MS diet'. However, these cravings didn't last too long once replaced with a healthier alternative. So don't give up, each good day of eating is a step towards healthy MS nutrition. Try not to make too many changes to your MS diet too often.
And that's it! Remember that this is a change in lifestyle and not a quick fix diet. It is likely that you will need to eat this way for the rest of your life. However, when you start reaping the benefits, you'll say 'Bring it on!' everyday. Yes, of course there will be days where you don't eat well but tomorrow is always another day and you will get back on the wagon and keep persevering. Enjoy every morsel of this delicious, healing food!

Thanks for the info. Please check – you have buckwheat listed under the category of containing gluten and it does not. You have hummus listed as a recommended condiment – it is made with garbanzo beans – a legume that you suggest not eating. Coffee with caffeine has recently been shown to improve MS symptoms – please check your data.
Thank you, you've provided a wonderful lot of information here, Kim. I am confused though that you list green beans as a food to avoid within the legumes category and yet you have it listed as a food to embrace under the green vegetables category. Can you clarify which list it is most appropriate for, thanks.
Hi! I was diagnosed 9 years ago, when I was 25. I started eating Paleo (ish) about 2.5 years ago. Never had any relapses (yay!). I understand staying away from *grain* fed meat… but *grass* fed meat is actually high in omega-3 fatty acids, which helps to decrease inflammation. I guess I don't understand why autoimmune people should stay away from saturated fats.
Great article and very resourceful. I follow most of this and so far so good, allow some gluten and very limited dairy (once a week for each, tops). I strictly follow the saturated fat and know I have a great deal more of energy from my changes in diet.
Only correction I would have is that I do not believe that Roy Swank had MS. Guy that wrote a book on him does, Sid Barron(spelling?), but Not Dr Swank. Some people do not follow this protocol of low sat fat and have had success – I read where someone mentioned grass fed meats – should read more about Dr Wahls if have not to this point. Pretty remarkable story she has about her recovery from being in a wheelchair with a progressive form.
Hi Kim! I absolutely LOVE your site! I recently have begun being pro-active about my MS by refining the way I eat. I have been following the Swank diet and have seen fantastic results. I love your combination of the existing diets and am going to try mixing things up a bit by following your method. Though I'm sure I'll have some questions along the way. Warmest regards.
I started yesterday and I am doing a herbel cleanse, only eating fruits and veggies !!! Praying all goes well.. REally would love some more recipes !!! Thank You Kim for your motivation to help others …
I noticed green beans are on the avoid list and on the shopping list. Can you tell me which it is. I would think that they would be ok.Thanks
Karin -
What are some optional beverages as I get tired of drinking water all the time. Would fresh lemonade be okay sweetened with Stevia?
Your diet doesn't limit nuts and ev olive oil. Dr Swank and others feel it is important to limit saturated fat to less than 20 mg a day. Do you not agree?
Dear Kim,
what an amazing job you have done. Thank you so much for putting it all together in such a simple and exacting manner. Your information is tops.I have been on a candida/alkaline diet for many years. A few things i can eat in moderation, raw chocolate in a coconut base, and raw goat cheese in small amounts. cooked chocolate makes me very sick, but carob makes me sicker than raw chocolate. And cooked cheese, and I am on the ground, but raw, and goat, and i am healthy as can be. I also use a magnesium spray, by Ancient Minerals that completely quells spascisticy and leg cramps. It also helps with the MS hug. I take rhodiola rosea for fatigue, and it really helps a lot. 500 mg after breakfast, and the same after lunch. It will keep you awake if you take it any later in the day. thanks again for such a helpful site.
oh, and i soak all nuts and most seeds. It really helps me to digest them easier. and a wonderful beverage is coconut water. good energizer too.
oh, and yes, without an MS diet, I am almost wheelchair bound. with it, i thrive.
It is also good to get tested for food allergies from a naturopath, although they change so get tested every 5 years.
Chia seeds, ground, and added to coconut water with smoothy is the most helpful addition to my gut healing.
healthy oils are the greatest help for strength, no seed oils, no cooked oils.
again, good job.
This is fantastic! I was also diagnosed in 2010 and am approaching a 3-year relapse free anniversary of that diagnosis.
What are your thoughts on vinegar as a condiment? I've read distilled vinegar should be avoided (and I read your thoughts on balsamic) but apple cider vinegar is recommended for individuals with MS. Do you agree with this statement?
Also, do you recommend staying away from fermented foods?
Hi Kim,
Wow am I glad I found your web-site! I was just diagnosed in May of 2012. I knew drugs were not for me and like you I dove deep into research. I love your site and find it to be just what I need to get re-motivated to clean up my diet. I have found huge results with the diet! I think the colder weather here in CO is helping me feel great even though I am not following the MS diet as strictly as I should. But, with your help and motivation and your awesome positive outlook I am cleaning it up and getting ready for the summer heat and recommitted to heal my MS! Does anyone else find the heat to trigger your MS?Thanks Kim for your time and dedication to helping others. I love it!
Hello Kim-
Are you on any meds? How do you feel about red wine for ms diet? As it is thought to have anti- inflammatory qualities.
Anyone's input would be appreciated.
Thank you.
My mother is the one with M.S., but becasue she is chair bound I am the one who does all the cooking. Can you direct me to other websites that contain recpies? I also cook for my dad and brother, both of which are avid meat eaters.
Hi Katie, foodbabe.com might be good for you as well.
Have just been diagnosed with MS 3 weeks ago and have my next MRI and Neurologist appt next week. Have already made changes to my diet after reading the book 'Taking control of Multiple Sclerosis" and finding your website. Thought it was best to get a headstart before any more symptoms present themselves. My though process is what have I got to lose-it won't do me any harm. Must say that after only 1 1/2 weeks I already feel that I am not as tired. Thanks for the site I think it will be a godsend. Finding recipes for this new eating is my challenge as I am not the best cook but determined to change that so I can stick with it.
Hi Kim I was just currently diagnosed a few weeks ago started with optic neuritis but still have not regained vision in my right eye which is the hardest thing right now . But I am Having some new symptoms over the past 10 days. Had few more MRI done Friday waiting on results… As you and everyone on here has or is going through the initial news is mind boggling .! Decisions do meds or hope holistic and change in diet is the right thing or combination of both??? I am so hoping that finding your page will be a blessing I have already changed some of my diet and added lots of vitamins I will continue to follow your MS diet. Thank you for allowing me access to great ideas for change. Jane
Your website is great, I have always been a healthy eater and exercise a lot, but back in january this year I was dianogsed with MS, I was so shocked and still can not beleive it, this is my second attack after a 5 year gap, so I thought it would not return but it did. I am almost back to normal, I dont take any meds, and have always beleived that eating healthy helps and glad to find someone that agrees with me, so I have continued with it, even healthier now. I saw that you say to avoid green tea because of the caffine, I drink the tettley de cafe version that is nicer anyway not so bitter, and with a squeeze of lemon juice. So glad I have found this website. Thanks
Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone out there is familiar with kombucha tea and whether or not it helps MS symptoms.
Also, is anyone frangrance-free and found out that it helps with MS symptom relief. I dated a man briefly that had to avoid fragrances and that meant I threw pretty much everything out, but I felt fantastic after.
Hi Kim,
Thank you for such an amazing site!I'm from the U.S. and I was recently diagnosed in January after waking up one day with double vision and altered vision that didn't improve with time or sinus meds. Since I was off work for 5 weeks with my flare up I dove right in to overhauling my diet because the research I was doing all pointed to diet and lifestyle changes as being primary treatment for this disease. Of course, it was much easier to do being home every day and now that I have returned to work I find myself struggling to remain consistent. I saw in one of your posts that you might be posting weekly meal plans, and I am very much looking forward to this! I also find your site and daily posts to be very inspiring! I do have a question about your thoughts on "nightshade" vegetables. Some of my research points to avoiding these foods due their potential inflammatory effects, other research and diet plans suggest to embrace them. What have you found with your extensive research? -
Your information is extremely helpful. I spent 1 year on the Candida diet and have been off for awhile because I lost way too much weight! I'm suffering from weakness and numbness in my fingers but the largest challenge is my balance – lesion on top of my spine. I'm excited to restart my MS diet. Wanted to ask if you have heard anything about the healing properties of Zija Moringa? The vitamins in Zija Moringa are 4-7 times greater than the supplements I am taking. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
Hi Kim…thank you for your website, you have done a lot of hard work. I have currently been on the MS Recovery Diet for 1 year and have had no change for the good, only worsening. I re-looked the diet and found that I was eating too much fat (15gm maximum) and I was exceeding that. Also, I eat too much sugar, which I have now eliminated. I hope that with your support I can get on the road to recovery. I do question chicken? Thanks again – Bonnie
Thanks for the info! I do not have MS but another neuro syndrome called Ataxia that responds well to most of this diet. I also eat grass fed beef and goat's milk dairy. I have eliminated most of what you have as well.
I am wondering what your thoughts are on butter? Maybe even Goats milk butter? -
Thank you for offering a positive resource, that has a bright outlook for those with MS. I'm curious if you have encountered other people that have encountered new symptoms after they have started the diet?
I had been on the MS recovery diet for 5 weeks when I experienced a new and more intense symptom than before I began. My previous symptoms were limited to slight foot drop and some slightly blurred vision, that were mostly noticeable when exercising. I was officially diagnosed with MS 2 months ago, and immediately started the diet to be proactive. After 5 weeks of being very strict on the diet, a sudden onset of numbness started from my glutes, down the back of my legs and across the bottom of both feet. After 2 weeks the symptoms are still intense.
I am hopeful that the diet will eventually allow my body to heal. But I am curious if others get "worse" before getting better?
Thank you very much for your insight and sharing your journey of healing with all of us!
–Mel -
Kim, I have really enjoyed reading your webpage and getting further information on how to heal my body! Thank you so much. My question is about the same as Melody above, have you had any experience with symptoms getting worse after starting the diet? I have been following the diet pretty well, with a few slip ups for 15 weeks and I have new symptoms that I didn't have 15 weeks ago?
Also you have listed in foods to avoid in Legumes, alfalfa, does that include alfalfa sprouts? Which I make and consume weekly. Thanks in advance for you help! Kim -
Hi Kim,
Your diet advice seems excellent and I'm looking forward to feeling the results having just started yesterday. However, I was wondering are oats okay?
Best wishes,
I was diagnosed with RRMS in 2011, but my neuro just wanted me in a clinical trial (no thanks) have you read up on those meds (may or may not help but thought to improve or lessen relapses) yeah ok. Anyway was raw vegetarian for a long time but recently started following Dr. Terry Wahls, but very intrested in your info because you know a lot about a lot. thanks for your sweet heart and willingness to help share wit others. -C.A.
