**In the fall of 1995, Dr. Saray Stancic was diagnosed with multiple
sclerosis. By 2003, she walked regularly with a cane, had given up
virtually all unnecessary physical activity, and was on numerous
medications, all with horrible side effects.**After stumbling upon some
studies that linked MS outcomes to diet and lifestyle, Dr. Stancic
undertook a radically different approach to managing her illness. Within
a relatively short time period she was off all MS medications, walking
normally, resumed dancing, and in 2010 she ran a marathon!Today she
lives an active, symptom free life, and takes no medications for
multiple sclerosis.Now, in What's Missing from Medicine: Six Lifestyle
Changes to Overcome Chronic Illness, Dr. Stancic shares her own
inspiring story and explains the incredible power that specific
lifestyle changes can have for those living with chronic illness. Her
prescription to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic illnesses such
as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune diseases like lupus,
multiple sclerosis, and many others, is what readers will find in this
book.Dr. Stancic is also highly critical of the medical community's lack
of success when it comes to treating chronic illness, and that's why
What's Missing from Medicine is both a prescription for a better life
for each of us, as well as a clarion call for the medical establishment
to make these lifestyle changes an integral part of the practice of
medicine.
