The Paleo Diet and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Part 1/7

On October 3 2007, Direct-MS (http://www.direct-ms.org ), sponsored a public presentation by Dr. Loren Cordain of Colorado State University on the topic of "The Paleo Diet and Multiple Sclerosis" (en français: "Le régime Paléolithique et la Sclérose en plaques"). Dr Cordain is a leading researcher in the field of the roles that various nutritional factors play in chronic diseases such as MS. A webcast of Dr Cordain's presentation is on the website http://www.direct-ms.org/presentations.html and I invite you to watch it in the comfort of your home (High resolution slides). I also recommend going to Dr Cordain's websites at http://WWW.THEPALEODIET.COM and http://WWW.DIETARYACNECURE.COM as They contain a wealth of valuable information on nutrition and health. A good and clear summary of the presentation done by Ashton Embry can be found at the following address: http://www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=show&pageid=2344&CFID=4381681&CFTOKEN=92683570 There is also a very interesting interview with Dr Loren Cordain by Robert Crayhon: http://chetday.com/cordaininterview.htm A great 45 minutes audio interview with Dr. Cordain: http://www.leannesslifestyle.com/podcast/drcordain_paleo_eating.mp3 A list of all the publications related to Dr. Cordain's work: http://unjobs.org/authors/loren-cordain Origins and evolutions of the western diet:Health implications for the 21st Century http://www.visioninstitute.optometry.net/UserFiles/users/499/File/Lecture%201%20-%20Cordain.pdf Implementing of the paleo diet http://www.visioninstitute.optometry.net/UserFiles/users/499/File/Lecture%202%20-%20Cordain.pdf Hyperinsulinemic diseases of civilisation: more than just the metabolic syndrome http://www.visioninstitute.optometry.net/UserFiles/users/499/File/Lecture%205%20-%20Cordain.pdf An evolutionary analysis of the etiology and pathogenesis of juvenile onset myopia http://www.visioninstitute.optometry.net/UserFiles/users/499/File/Lecture%206%20-%20Cordain.pdf
