Well, in my case, MS causes me to learn to tolerate every damned temperature. Heat raises the gravity level and cold exaggerates pain. There is no middle.🤔
Good info. I've not been diagnosed with ms, but some of the symptoms sound familiar. I practice hot yoga, 60-90 minute classes, in a hot room, 100+ degrees, 40% humidity, and sweat. The yoga postures really are beneficial, but having heard this I'm going to pay closer attention. Interesting that while not showers are fine, cold is not. So, thank you for this video.
This was suprisingly helpful! I have been observing that heat is the major cause of certain symptom exerbations, but having it confirmed and realising that it is all linked to heat intolerance instead of heart problems or some hormonal fluctuation is very helpful. I mean, I have symptoms when the weather is hot, I walk, eat and have stress. All those situations make me start flushing and cause nausea, fatigue and malaise. On hot weather days, I can only lay in bed with an ice-bag on my stomach. Heat stroke is a major scare. The tip of taking a cold water bottle with me to the shover is something which I will try!!! I have just tried to survive with colder showers, but it is not ideal to get clean. I try using hot water only on my hair and try not to spray too much hot water to my abdomen. (That is a good tip to share too.) Luckily at winter my heat intolerance improves. But then I get cold intolerance 😅 I am a lizard 🦎 (Not diagnosed with anything yet.)
How or where do I sign up for this 4 week programme? I have RLRM and have for numerous years been adopting different food protocols and vitamins etc. No fluoride, distill my drinking water and drink silica water too. Its the breath work/meditation and yoga I would love to be able to master. I'd be interested in knowing more. 🙏🏼💜
Hi there, thank you for your message. Unfortunately, the course is fully booked but you can express your interest in a future course by emailing events@overcomingms.org.

Welcome to the community and it's good to hear there will be more interaction and communication with the NHS and MS nurses, when I told my own doctor about OMS last year he was very sceptical sadly. I wish I'd been told about OMS years ago it would have helped so much.
I’m going to be honest. I’m not going to watch this whole video. However, I did have a yogi who taught me pranayama yoga because it can permanently cure MS, but he said you have to do it every day for a couple of hours for four or five years. It’s just about getting oxygen into the body. There are lots of oxygen based therapies actually… like hyperbaric oxygen chamber, like that bleach stuff we shouldn’t talk about, like ozone.
Some great suggestions. Thanks Sam. I am going to set a cooking challenge for the next OMS Essex Circle. I need to be more adventurous with what I eat for dinner. Quick, easy, and healthy are my key criteria. Thanks for your inspiration and for giving me a nudge. Xx
My husband made the same comment when we knew it was going to be a hot day that I should plan my day, so that I knew what was going to happen to me. He’s so wise!
Are you planning to release a translation of the book into Spanish? I read it in English and had no problems with it, but still in Spain they are a lot of ignorant people who just follow the official medical advice and don't research by themselves at all. By the way, I checked how Aurora Colello got over her optic neuritis by massage. what do you think of all that stuff? The holistic approach? is it reliable? what about Ayurvedic medicine? Thanks a lot, I learnt a lot from the book and now my life is better, despite the problems with my sight.
+Rafael Arco Arredondo Sadly, it is very difficult to get translations in other languages published. Most publishers do not see any return on that investment. So it tends to rely on individuals who are prepared to translate and then self-publish. We are sure there are many Spaniards who follow this approach. Try posting on our Forum to find them.... overcomingms.org/forum/
Thank you George! Another question if you don't mind, what do you think of the new medications? Natalizumab (what I have now), Fingolimod and all that stuff? I'm pretty sure they work more or less, but they are also big business for the pharma industry and doctors pay more attention to it than to diet or lifestyle. Am I wrong? Thanks again, it's a pleasure to talk to you after reading the book :)
