About Dr. Swank.
Dr. Swank began studying the correlation between diet and MS in the late 1940's. His book, The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book, has achieved wide acclaim both within and outside the medical community. At age 92, Dr. Swank is no longer actively seeing patients; however, his work continues to touch the lives of thousands of MS sufferers who have found hope through his diet. Read some of Dr. Swank's recent comments about the diet and his patients here. For more information, you may contact us at the Swank MS Foundation.

"After considerable research, I developed a plan for the treatment of multiple sclerosis that absolutely anyone can do. A lifestyle change will have to take place, which may be a challenge for you, but the challenges of living with a disability are much greater.

"My 50 years of research and working with approximately 5,000 people, just like you, have proven that this protocol works to slow progression of the disease as well as benefit overall health."

- Roy L. Swank M.D., Ph.D.
