Description:

When customers find out that I’m from Kansas, they often say, “Kansas?  What can you tell me about mountain passes if you’re from Kansas?”  But after they hear my story, they cut me a little slack.  (By the way, did you know that there was once a researcher with too much government grant money who determined that Kansas actually is flatter than a pancake?)

When I was a kid in the early 60’s my parents owned a 16 foot Mobil Scout travel trailer.  We pulled that trailer all over the western United States and Canada with a 1962 Chevy with a 283 cubic inch engine and a three speed on the column.  So I learned to love mountains and I learned to love traveling the wide open spaces of our great land.  With that small trailer and the reliable Chevy, we never had any problems climbing or descending grades.

VITAL INFORMATION FOR ANYONE DRIVING A LARGE OR HEAVY VEHICLE

In an attempt to make mountain driving a little safer for truckers
and RV’ers, R&R Publishing Inc. has been collecting and publishing
information about mountain passes and steep grades since 1993. The Mountain Directory Ebooks give the locations
and descriptions of over 700 mountain passes and steep grades in
22 states. The Mountain Directory ebooks tell you where the
steep grades are, how long they are, how steep (%) they are, whether
the road is two lane, three lane, or four lane, if there are escape
ramps, switchbacks, sharp curves, speed limits, etc. With this
information, one can know ahead of time what a pass is like and
make an informed decision about whether to go over or around. If
you decide to go over, perhaps the cool morning hours would ease
the strain on the engine and transmission during the climb. Unhooking
the towed vehicle would make the climb and the descent easier. Knowing
what lies ahead is half the battle.

The printed versions of the Mountain Directory books had almost 240 pages of text and color relief maps. All 240 pages are in the downloadable versions of the Mountain Directory ebooks. Nothing is missing. In the printed versions, mountain pass locations were marked with a yellow triangle on the color relief maps.  In the ebook versions, you can click on the yellow triangles and the text appears that describes that location.

4. US 33
(between Harrisonburg, VA and Judy Gap, WV.)

There are three summits along this stretch of US 33. The eastern summit is between Rawley Springs, VA and Brandywine, WV.  The east side is 4 miles of 8 to 9% grade. The west side is 4½ miles of 9% grade and both sides have continuous sharp curves and hairpin turns.  The highway is two lane on both sides.

The middle summit is between Oak Flat and Franklin, WV. The east side of this hill is 2½ miles of 8% with 25 mph curves.  The west side is about 3½ miles of much milder grade.  It is 4 to 5% over most of its length.  There are some sharp curves near the bottom.  The road is two lane on both sides of the hill.

The western summit is between Franklin and Judy Gap, WV.  It is 5 miles of steady 9% grade on both sides.  Both sides are two lane with sharp curves and hairpin turns.  Use caution on this road.

There is an old saying among over-the-road truckers. “There are two kinds of drivers — those who’ve been in trouble on a mountain grade, and those who will be.” Unfortunately, this also applies to many RVers. Trucks and RVs have similar problems regarding weight, engine power, and braking in mountainous terrain.

Imagine yourself descending a mountain grade in your RV. You didn’t know there was such a long, steep grade on this highway. What a surprise! And things are not going well. You have a white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel. The engine is not holding back all of this weight, the brakes are smelling hot or even smoking, you’re pushing harder on the brake pedal but your speed keeps increasing. All you can see ahead is more mountain. Your mind is racing through all of the available options and none of them are good. “I’ve got to do something,” you say “or I’m not going to make it.” The options include: run into the rock wall, go over the side, hit those trees, or see if you can make the next curve and ride it out. You choose the last option and, if you are lucky, you make it to the bottom in one piece. You pull over and while you are waiting for your heart to stop pounding, you wipe the sweat from your face and you notice your shirt is soaked, your mouth is dry, and your hands are shaking. You are thinking, “If I had known it was going to be like that………….”

Perhaps your rig has difficulty during the steep climbs. The temperature is in the 90’s and the grade is so steep that you can barely climb it in first gear. The engine and transmission temperatures are rising. How far to the top of this hill? You don’t know if it’s one mile or ten. Something smells hot. What to do? Pull over and cool off? But then all momentum is lost. Can you even get started again? You wish you had unhooked the car you’re dragging up this hill behind the motorhome. If you are lucky, you can do that next time. You are wondering how many thousand dollars a new engine and transmission will be.

During the last few years we have heard many stories about very expensive repairs to drive train components. Sometimes rigs are lost entirely. A highway patrol officer in Oregon told us that in the summer an average of one motorhome per week burns to the ground while trying to climb Cabbage Hill on I-84 east of Pendleton. If a fire starts, the nearest fire department is likely to be many miles away. By the time they arrive, there is nothing left to do but hose down the ashes.

Many people are under the impression that the grades in the eastern mountains are not as serious as the grades in the western mountains. Apparently this is because the elevations are not as high in the eastern states. But elevation alone is not the problem–it is the change in elevation that makes a grade potentially hazardous. If all other factors are equal, a grade that descends from 4000′ to 1000′ over 10 miles is no different than a grade that descends from 10000′ to 7000′ over 10 miles. Either way you have a 3000′ change in elevation spread over 10 miles. (This example would result in an average grade of almost 6% for 10 miles.)

A large percentage of the grades in the western states are in the 6% range. A large percentage of the grades in the eastern states are 8, 9, or 10% and sometimes even more. The eastern grades are often shorter but this is not always so. A quick glance through the eastern book will reveal over 50 grades that are between 7 and 10% and from 4 to 7 miles long. There are others that are even more challenging. The road to the top of Whiteface Mountain in New York is 8 to 10% for 8 miles. There would be no need for truckers to use this road but RVs are allowed. Near Cumberland, Maryland there is a hill on I-68 that is posted as 6% for 13 miles. In North Carolina highway 181 crosses the Blue Ridge Parkway and the southbound descent is 11 miles of grade that varies from 6 to 10%. Much of it is 8 to 9%. These grades are just as hazardous as the grades in the western states.

From the
Colorado section of the Mountain Directory West:

VAIL PASS elev. 10603′ (on I-70 east of Vail, CO)

The descent on the westbound side of Vail Pass is about 10 miles in length and begins at milepost 189 on I-70. One half mile west of the summit there are warning signs for westbound traffic–“Speed limit 45 mph for vehicles over 30,000 lbs.” and “Steep grade next 8 miles–trucks stay in lower gear.”  The next mile is rolling hills.  Then there is a sign–“7% grade next 7 miles.”

The descent is steady at 7% and there are 3 advisory signs for the first runaway truck ramp which is about milepost 185 or 4 miles down from the summit.  The escape ramp is upsloping on the right.  The second runaway truck ramp is about milepost 182, which is 3¼ miles after the first escape ramp, or about 7¼ miles down from the summit.   There are several advisory signs before reaching it and it is an upsloping ramp on the right.  Don’t be fooled when the grade eases after the second escape ramp.  It soon goes back to 7% and doesn’t bottom out until 2½ miles after the second escape ramp or about milepost 179.

The eastbound descent from the summit of Vail Pass continues almost to the Frisco exit about 11 miles down the hill but the descent is not steady.  There are short steep sections followed by short sections of lesser grade.  The last half of the descent is 3-4% grade.  There are no escape ramps on the east side of the pass.

While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the maps included in this book, it is nearly impossible to include all necessary detail on such small maps. We recommend that these maps be used in conjunction with larger, more detailed road maps.

In most cases the passes and hills are described as descents. In other words, a pass will be described from the summit down in one direction and then from the summit down in the other direction. This directory does not claim to include every steep grade. In fact, because of the enormous area we have tried to cover, we can guarantee that we have probably missed some. Sometimes the percentages quoted are estimates and many times they are based on road signs or information provided by highway departments. This book does not attempt to rate passes or grades according to difficulty. There is an enormous variety in vehicles and equipment. A hill that is very difficult for one vehicle may be no problem at all for a similar vehicle that is equipped differently. Driver judgment is critical in deciding which hills should be avoided.

The purpose of this book is not to discourage drivers from going where they please. It is only to inform them of the conditions they may encounter and to encourage them to make sure their equipment is in good repair. Brakes must be in good working order and properly adjusted and the engine and transmission should be used to slow the vehicle whenever possible, thus saving the brakes and keeping them cool enough to retain their stopping power. The engine’s cooling system should be in good repair to prevent overheating during the climbs. Turning off the air conditioner during climbs may help, and if necessary, turning on the heater will help dissipate heat from the engine.

From the
North Carolina section of the Mountain Directory East:

I-40 (between Black Mountain and Old Fort, NC)

By law, all trucks except pickups and vans are required to stop at the top of this hill and read the information posted about the eastbound descent ahead.  The top of the hill is near milepost 67 just east of Black Mountain.  The grade is posted as 5 miles of 6%.  It is a strong 6%.  There are three runaway truck ramps, all of which are short sand beds with sand piles at the end.  There is about a mile of grade left after the last escape ramp.   The westbound descent is about 1¼ mile of 6%.

There are many aftermarket devices that can help heavy vehicles in the mountains. Some will help by increasing horsepower for the climbs. These include turbos and exhaust systems. Other devices, such as engine braking systems can help during the descents. Some products, like gear splitters and auxiliary transmissions can help during the climbs and the descents. Many of these products also improve fuel economy (while delivering more horsepower) and reduce wear and tear on the drive train.

The main ingredients involved in overheated brakes are the length of the grade, the steepness of the grade, and the speed and weight of the vehicle. Reducing any of these will improve the chances of getting down the mountain without overheating the brakes. Most of the time, the only one the driver can change is speed. Reducing speed may keep you alive. Remember the old phrase, “You can go down a mountain a thousand times too slowly, but only once too fast.”

“Miller designed his two directories for RV as well as truck drivers
because, he says, ‘RV drivers would face the same problems as truckers
because of the weight of their vehicles and braking systems that may
not be designed to deal with the extreme conditions encountered during
mountain descents.’ Since most road atlases do not include this specific
data, many motorhomers will find one or both of these books useful
in taking the surprises out of driving in the mountains.” Sherry McBride,
Senior Managing Editor, Motorhome

“RVers often have problems with mountain grades–both going up and
coming down. It’s helpful to be warned when a steep grade is coming
up, and that’s just what the two Mountain Directories do.” Coast to Coast

“Color relief maps and more than 150 new mountain pass and grade locations
have been added to R&R Publishing’s 1999 editions of Mountain
Directory West and Mountain Directory
East. Together, the books provide locations and descriptions
for more than 700 mountain passes and steep grade locations in 22
states, as well as other vital information for anyone driving a large
or heavy vehicle. In Mountain Directory East,
the introduction notes that elevation by itself does not indicate
a grade’s difficulty; the change in elevation, depicted in the book
as percentages, is the critical factor.”

12. TETON PASS elev. 8429′

(on Wyoming Highway 22 west of Jackson, WY)

Teton Pass has sustained 10% grades on both sides of the summit.  An unusual feature is that both runaway truck ramps on the east side of the pass can be used only if the runaway truck crosses the oncoming lane of traffic.  There is a posted weight limit of 60,000 lbs. on this pass.

The westbound descent from the summit of Teton Pass begins with a 25 mph speed limit and a truck warning sign–“Steep grade–10% next 3 miles–use lower gear.” This grade warning is repeated a mile later.  About 2½ miles down from the summit the grade eases to 6-7% and the speed limit increases.  This grade continues for about 3-4 miles and eases near the Idaho state line.

The eastbound descent from the summit of Teton Pass starts with a truck warning sign–“Steep grade–10% next 5 1/2 miles–use lower gear.”  There are 20 mph curves near the top.  About 1/3 mile down from the summit is a sign–“Runaway truck ramp–2½ miles LEFT side.”  This warning is repeated several times as you approach the ramp.  To use the ramp you must cross the oncoming lane of traffic.  The ramp slopes uphill.

The second runaway truck ramp is about 1 mile after the first.  It, too, is on the left side and is an upsloping ramp.  At this point the grade begins to ease to about 6-7% and the speed limit increases.  The hill continues to the town of Wilson, which is about 5½ miles from the summit.

“The worst part isn’t the white knuckles, the cold sweat, the unbelievable
adrenaline rush. It’s the emptiness in the very pit of the stomach,
the utter hopelessness of the situation. Anyone who has ever lived
through a runaway can relate…. a rig out of control on a long downgrade
has a mind of its own. And it doesn’t care what gets in the way. Miller’s
directories are full of good stuff that’ll help drivers make smart
routing decisions and prepare them for dangerous grades – like length
and severity of grades, sharpness of curves and location of escape
ramps. It’s invaluable info for rookie drivers or old hands traveling
into a mountainous area for the first time.” Andrew Ryder, Editor, Heavy Duty Trucking

“Many truckers have had the frightening experience of cresting a mountain
grade too fast and wondering if they’ll be able to stop at the bottom.
Richard Miller is one of them. After a thrilling descent into Camp
Verde Valley, AZ in 1993, he decided to do something about the lack
of information on many mountain grades. The results of his efforts
are two excellent resources: Mountain
Directory West and Mountain Directory
East.
Each contains maps showing the location of grades and detailed information
about them, including the height of the summit, length and steepness
of grades, severity of curves, location of escape ramps, and signage.” Truckers News

From the
Southern California section of the Mountain Directory West:

CAJON PASS elev. 4190′
(on I-15 south of Victorville, CA)

There is very little descent on the north side of Cajon Pass.  The southbound descent begins with warning signs–“Downgrade next 12 miles–trucks check brakes” and “Truck speed limit 45 mph” and “Truck scales 5 miles” and “6% grade next 4 miles” and “Runaway truck ramp 2½ miles.”

The grade may be a bit more than 6% down to the escape ramp where it eases for a very short distance and then goes back to 6% until reaching the truck scales.  After the scales the grade eases to about 2-3% for 3 miles, then goes to about 5% for another 4½ miles.

This road has four lanes downhill and a great deal of traffic.  Use caution on this hill.

“Rvers traveling to new locations often meet unforeseen and possibly
dangerous challenges in mountainous terrain because they could not
know what type of road lay ahead. Atlases may mark elevation, but
not how steep and how many miles a grade is, whether or not there
are turnouts, and the condition of the road. Mountain
Directory West and Mountain Directory
East give locations and detailed descriptions of almost 700
mountain passes and steep grades in 22 states. This enables drivers
to plan safer and easier routes, or to be prepared to face the grade.” Highways

“A useful book for those planning to travel in the Western states
is Mountain Directory…. It tells you
the percentage of grade, alignment, width and length of significant
mountain passes in 11 Western states. (In fact, there is now Mountain Directory East as well, which covers almost 300 mountain passes
and steep grades in 11 Eastern states.)” Joe and Vickie Kieva Collins, Highways

“As RVers and travelers in the west, we recommend this book as a good
reference and we plan to keep it in the cab of our truck. Of course,
if we get an opportunity to travel in the east, we are prepared with
that book as well.”Chronicle

“From time to time, humorists writing in RV literature will gleefully
make hay out of the concept of an RV hurtling down a mountainside
using G forces to describe the speed rather than miles per hour. However,
the reality of brake failure in the mountains, as those who have experienced
it will attest, is not the least bit funny. For the RVer tackling
the Rockies and other western ranges, this directory would be an invaluable
reference.” RV Times

“Mountain Directory is well put together,
easy to use, and prepares the user for driving in the mountains. When
it comes to personal safety and protecting the investments made in
RVs and motorhomes, drivers would be well served to keep this book
handy.” National Motorists Association News

“Mountain Directory for Truckers, RV, and Motorhome
Drivers… Wow! With a name that long, this book better provide
a service to RVers—and it does.” Jim Brightly, Managing Editor, Motorhome

“It’s bound to provide the traveler with knowledge and peace of mind…..
Here’s a book that should be located next to every rig’s navigator…
Keep this book handy during your travels.” Bob Carter, RV Today

“…. should definitely be included in your RV library… chock full
of information… our traveling columnists have already made excellent
use of this directory.” Camping Canada

“Mountain Directory …. was specifically
written for drivers of RVs and other heavy vehicles. The text, accompanied
by maps pinpointing locations, describes how steep and long each grade
is, plus other pertinent details.” Trailer Life

“… let me tell you straight: this book applies to you.” Bill Farlow, Woodall’s Southern RV

“Fear Heights No More” “While the publishers are the fist to admit
that it would be nearly impossible to list every steep hill in the
western United States, Mountain Directory covers most grades that are long enough and steep enough to pose a
problem to RVs.” Coast to Coast

“Motorhome drivers and truckers have very similar problems involving
steep grades, weight, brakes, etc., and part of the solution is knowledge
about the hills before you get there.”Family Motor Coaching

From the
Pennsylvania East section of the Mountain Directory East:

Pennsylvania highway 125
(between Shamokin and Good Spring, PA.)

Large vehicles may want to avoid this 18 mile section of road. It crosses four mountains and includes numerous 15 mph hairpin turns and many more 20 and 25 mph curves. Regardless of your direction of travel you will have to climb and descend some very steep hills.  Much of the grade is 7 to 9% but there are numerous sections that must be 12% or more, some lasting almost a mile.  Brake shoes don’t have enough time to cool much between descents.

Description:

The worst day of my life was finding out that I had multiple sclerosis… and that I’d get physically and mentally worse for the rest of my life.

When my symptoms went into reverse, I regained my physical and mental health – and my MS specialist had to admit they’d got it wrong.

My multiple sclerosis story ended very happily. Yours will too.

Watch the video below to learn how…

Want text version instead of video? Here is simplified transcript…

I’d heard of it – but I wasn’t sure what it meant. So I just said ‘Okay, what’s that?’

And then my doctor told me. And I was utterly devastated by it.

He explained more about what multiple sclerosis – MS – actually was and it slowly dawned on me: there’s no good news here. None at all.

Instead, a life of deterioration, of relapses, each one worse than the other – and no hope of ever getting better. A process that was, in fact, already under way.

I’d been steadily getting ill for years. My memory had been declining, I was forgetting words. My focus was poor and I often became confused.

And I was always so tired.

I actually thought those other problems were caused by the tiredness.

I just need to stop being so worn out, I told myself. Then everything will be okay.

But once I started losing my balance when walking… I knew things weren’t okay. That day I fell over was a real turning point. It’s why I went to the doctor in the first place.

The specialist confirmed it was MS. He told me it gets steadily worse and there’s no way to stop it.

The end game? Too awful to relive here. The loss of speech, the loss of movement, the loss of memory. In the end, the loss of independence and dignity.

One loss after another, just sitting around waiting for it to get slowly worse and worse.

Of course, I now know he was wrong about all of that. None of this is likely to happen now.

Instead, what was getting steadily worse went into reverse and got steadily better. I went back to work last year and I’m enjoying my life once again. But if I hadn’t acted it could have been so different.

The doctor said I’d probably have some years before I became incapable of self-care – but that was a ‘probably’. If each relapse of my MS was significantly worse than the other… then things could turn nasty very quickly.

I worried about myself. But I worried about my husband, my growing children, my elderly parents… What was this spiteful illness going to put them through?

I even worried about my dog.

But what upset me most was my specialist’s attitude that once you’ve been diagnosed with MS that’s it, it’s all over for you. For them, making you better isn’t an option. Their job is to manage your decline.

But I was panicking. I read about multiple sclerosis success stories where the sufferer had almost miraculous turnarounds.

Mostly diet-led, a few lucky individuals were able to reverse their worst symptoms. One famous case saw a wheelchair bound MS sufferer cast aside her wheelchair and take up jogging, of all things.

Of course, we only hear about the handful of genuine success stories. These people – which include doctors – relied on some knowledge and lots of guesswork.

Their approach was mostly experimental. Hundreds of people try the same thing and get nowhere.

But they proved one thing: MS is not the life sentence we’re told it is. It’s treatable.

Today we know a lot more about MS. To properly tackle its causes requires a very specific three-pronged attack.

Tackle your MS from these three angles and the illness is going to take an entirely different route. Here’s how.

I found this out completely by chance. Some years ago, on an old multiple sclerosis forum a man called Toby was describing how his own MS symptoms were steadily going away.

He’d had MS for 12 years and was once in a terrible condition. Desperation had caused him to try everything. Now he’d found something that actually worked – and he shouted about it from the rooftops.

Some people were sceptical but I heard him out. And I kept tabs on him for a while until the forum shut down. But what he told me turned out to be true. And what I learned subsequently changed my life.

Let me tell you about it now.

Much of what Toby said has since turned out to be medically proven.

These are the three factors that reversed his MS – and which eventually did exactly the same for mine.

First, you’re probably aware that MS is caused by a runaway immune system that just isn’t switching off.

The immune system creates inflammatory agents that course through the body attacking both unwanted foreign particles and toxins – which is good – but also healthy tissue.

For MS sufferers the inflammation is wearing away at the myelin sheath that surrounds and protects the nerves.

And this is a serious problem because that myelin sheath is supposed to keep our nerves efficient and safe.

But as inflammation wears the sheath away, lesions and scarring occurs. That scarring disrupts the movement of nerve signals throughout the body – and within the brain itself. The damage is widespread and ongoing.

It gets harder for our brain and body to communicate. We start to see typical symptoms of MS: memory failure, difficulty focusing, heavy fatigue, loss of balance, difficulty coordinating movement… you know the kind of thing.

For as long as inflammation is constantly attacking our nerves’ protective myelin sheath we will always have MS. Inflammation is our first problem to resolve.

Of course, the body can repair damaged myelin sheath – and it does. But once inflammation’s ability to destroy it exceeds our body’s ability to repair it… we’re fighting a losing battle.

That’s the second problem.

Restoring the myelin sheath requires lots of energy from our body’s cells – way more energy than those cells are used to supplying.

If we’ve got MS the damage to the nerves is never-ending – and our struggling cells cannot generate enough ‘repair energy’ to ever complete the job.

Put bluntly, the repair cells are exhausted. They can never catch up with the damage that MS is causing.

Third, as well as energy, the repair of damaged myelin requires specific raw materials. Repair obviously can’t be done from thin air and it’s the food we eat that supplies the materials for the rebuilding of damaged myelin.

The problem is that the standard western diet just doesn’t provide enough repair nutrients.

But if we eat plenty of the right food the myelin certainly can be repaired. And if the inflammation has also been handled then the myelin sheath stays repaired.

Instead of managing symptoms – which is all my MS specialist ever tried to do – we can directly address what’s causing MS in the first place. We need to:

As Toby was finding out then – and I can confirm now – we already know how to handle all three of these steps.

And it applies no matter how your MS shows up. Toby’s MS was what’s known as ‘primary progressive’. He didn’t have relapses and remissions. He just slowly got worse and worse.

Until, one day, he started getting better and better.

Whereas I had ‘relapsing-remitting’ MS – periods of steady, unchanging symptoms followed by horrible, upsetting flare-ups. When the symptoms finally steadied they were noticeably worse than they had been before.

Either way, it’s MS. If we address all the factors that make us ill then we prove the doctors wrong and everything changes for the better. Which is exactly what we do.

By the way, every specialist I spoke to told me: there’s no MS gene and MS isn’t hereditary.

There might be an array of genes that make MS a little more likely in a person. Maybe.

But my specialist told me two important things:

First, identical twins have extremely similar genes, so if one twin gets MS, you’d expect the other stands a much higher chance of getting it too. But the statistics show the second twin has no more chance of getting MS than anyone else.  So the genes effect is weak or non-existent.

Second, whether there’s a genes effect or not, genes at most only increase the possibility of MS. To actually have MS you have to be exposed to the ‘risk factors’ of MS before those genes come into play.

And here’s where the reality of MS hits us.

MS doesn’t pop into existence out of thin air. Something causes it.

‘Risk factors for MS’ are the set of circumstances that have to exist in your body in order for MS to happen. You get MS because you have the risk factors for MS.

If you don’t have the risk factors you simply cannot have the disease.

What I found shocking was that medical science’s long list of multiple sclerosis risk factors – things that will cause MS – contain almost nothing but lifestyle habits and choices.

I thought MS would be caused by some crazy malfunction in the body somewhere. Some weakness in my brain or spinal cord or a chance breakdown in some vital organ. Not so. In fact, at its root, the causes are very ordinary.

MS comes from things we do and choices we make in our everyday life habits. Lifestyle choices provoke the immune system – the immune system then causes the runaway inflammation that’s decimating our nerves.

Tragically, we’re literally giving ourselves the disease – and we don’t even know we’re doing it.

Scientists and medical researchers agree that what makes the immune system go wrong – and so causes all that inflammation – are mostly environmental and habitual. Such as:

When immune systems go wrong there’s a cause. A combination of the above factors is where all the problems start.

So what we’re doing in our ordinary lives is maintaining those causes. All those errors that we didn’t know we were making… we’re still making them. So MS carries on as before.

If we corrected those errors one at a time… if we were to swap out the damaging activities and behaviours for ones that do not support the existence of MS

….what would happen to the MS that they were causing?

Remember, I didn’t need drugs and meds to get MS. Instead, I had to lead a normal, everyday western life and just get a few small but important things wrong along the way.

If meds didn’t cause MS then they aren’t going to correct it either. We need to reverse what’s causing MS instead.

And it works. Not just for a few high profile doctors but for ordinary people like me who have regained sight, the ability to walk properly, energy and mental health – having originally lost it to the ravages of MS.

Toby learned how to treat his MS from a program written by a lady called Jodi Knapp.

Jodi is well-known for her pioneering health work and has an enviable reputation for reversing chronic diseases – simply by paying strict attention to what’s actually causing them in the first place.

I got a copy of her program – it’s called ‘The Multiple Sclerosis Solution’.

In a series of phases Jodie explains how to handle the inflammation that’s destroying my nerves – and then how to supply the cells with the energy and nutrients needed to repair and restore them.

You move through each phase carefully. When you can feel the improvement at one phase… move on to the next. .

Stay in the current phase until you know you’ve improved and then move gradually to the next. It’s gentle, straightforward – and effective.

This phase is very easy but so important. It’s focused on two elements:

settling the immune system and reducing inflammation

getting the body into a fit healing state

The first part of settling the immune system is to restore our gut health. Our gut turns the nutrients in food into the chemicals the body needs to function properly. Most westerners have fairly poor – or plain awful – gut health.

If the gut isn’t doing that properly then, over the years, the body slowly starts to malfunction.

In particular, a weakened gut lining leads to ‘leaky gut syndrome’ – a highly inflammatory condition in which particles of food escape into the bloodstream, causing the immune system to switch on to attack them.

This common gut condition is a primary cause of a permanently ‘on’ immune system – and therefore the chronic inflammation that creates MS.

It’s not the only source of chronic inflammation that Jodi addresses – but it’s such a major one that we deal with it from day one.

In Phase 1 we also introduce the repair energy and nutrients the body needs to start healing our damaged nerves.

The supplements are much cheaper than meds, have absolutely no side-effects and, later, at the end of the program they can be dropped altogether.

Is similar to phase 1 – I added a couple of extra supplements from my supermarket. I also had to reduce some of the other supplementation now it had done its job.

Phase 2 also goes a little deeper into handling the immune system and its never-ending inflammation.

That mainly involves identifying – and then removing – some of the domestic toxins that find their way into our bodies, firing up the immune system… and setting off that catastrophic tide of inflammation.

I spent some time looking at the long list of items in my house that caused my immune system to switch ‘on’ and create inflammation.

There’s lots! It’s shocking how so many ordinary household items directly provoke our immune systems.

I replaced a few household items that were direct sources of toxins for safer versions – which was easy. You stop buying x and start buying y. Replace an unhelpful habit with a helpful one.

After a couple of weeks you can literally feel in your body the benefits of making these simple changes.

Phase 2 also included some slow exercise movements coupled with deep breathing.

It’s vital we do this because movement – even the gentlest –  delivers nutrients and oxygen to all parts of the body – and MS sufferers especially need to get nourishment to damaged nerves wherever they are.

The movement stuff was actually very nice. That was a surprise because I am naturally lazy – and MS left me tired most of the time. But it’s so gentle and the effect is so pleasant that once the habit is started I just kept doing it.

But what’s really important is that a relaxed mind and body is the ideal state for cell repair.

The breathing patterns were incredibly relaxing too. Tension and stress release hormones that work directly against cell repair. That deep relaxation was exactly what my drained, damaged nerve cells needed.

My food choices were expanded in this phase. They’d been a bit tight in phase 1 because we were so focused on getting the gut back into good health. But now the menu was much wider and I had lots of freedom to choose what to eat.

By Phase 3 inflammation is significantly reduced. For the first time in many years the nerves are no longer under such heavy attack – and so we go hell for leather now at rebuilding myelin and protecting those nerves.

As I entered phase 3 I was already feeling different. I’d been feeling steadily better over the previous weeks – more stable when walking, better balance and a whole lot less tired.

Officially, I was still ill. But now things were really starting to happen and my optimism was sky high.

Phase 3 featured another temporary increase in supplementation.

The idea is for the nerves to get back the protective myelin sheaths that MS had worn away.

This gradual return of those protective myelin sheaths will already have started in the earlier phases but now we’re picking up some supermarket vitamins to go heavier on rebuilding those shattered nerves.

After phase 3 I was walking properly and thinking clearly. I reduced supplements – a couple of good meals each day were now enough.

The ultimate victory was going back to work for the first time in 4 years. Every area of my life had improved beyond recognition but that was the point where I could honestly say I’ve finally got my life back.

My MS specialist, by the way, is delighted, impressed, a tiny bit disbelieving at how all this turned out! He’s also very happy for me.

My summary of the whole experience? Just pay attention to the program, follow the rules but also go easy on yourself and the improvements really do come.

Even though MS shows up in different people in different ways, its underlying causes are the same. There’s nothing special about what’s going on in the body. It’s just biology.

And biology is almost totally influenced by what we eat, the way we breathe and move, the nutrients we’re missing out on, the stresses we’re under, the household pollutants that we didn’t realise were doing so much harm…

These are the underlying causes of many western chronic diseases – MS included. Address them and your body cannot help but to change. Start removing the causes of MS and the damage they cause starts to fade away.

The time taken to see improvements varies according to the severity of your MS.

Improvement is always relative. People have corrected their MS to the extent that not only can they stop using a wheelchair but they can walk or trot  a couple of miles. They didn’t do it overnight – but they did it.

I never claim to have got rid of multiple sclerosis. But can I now walk, move and coordinate myself in ways I couldn’t before? Yes, I can.

Is my thinking, focus and memory now noticeably better than it has been for years? Definitely.

Do I go weeks, months and – now – years not really aware that I am an MS sufferer? You bet!

I’m not the first to be able to walk properly again, I won’t be the last. And you could be the next.

My relationship with MS is entirely different today.

Of course, I wish I’d never got the disease in the first place. But that was out of my hands.

What I’m grateful for is that not only is it not getting worse but there are so many ways that it has become better.

Jodi showed me what to do to settle and calm the immune system, to substantially reduce inflammation and to give the body the energy and repair nutrients it needed to start undoing the awful effects of MS.

I followed her program… and it has paid off in ways I – and my doctors! – never dreamed possible.

Now it’s your turn. Become one of the thousands of people who are quietly turning around their illness in wholly natural and healthy ways. Click here, get Jodi’s program and start correcting your MS today.

If we don’t settle the inflammation that’s ravaging our nerves then our symptoms will get progressively worse.

That’s a medical certainty.

If we don’t supply the body with the building material and repair energy it needs to restore damaged nerve sheaths then those nerves are unprotected and vulnerable to attack and damage every second of the day.

The end game of MS is horrific. You already know how this can end for you – so I won’t labour the point.

The causes of my MS started years before I finally got my diagnosis. So did yours.

Which means that ravaging illness was already well underway once we found out we had it. Even though it’s a slowly progressing disease it’s imperative we address the problem now.

You can start the process of restoring your health, getting back your physical and mental capabilities in the next 90 seconds – by getting a copy of Jodi’s program and taking step 1 today.
