    Boy this movie made me angry....

    Angry - but not because of the solid, informative , heartfelt documentary but about the greed of big charities and pharmaceutical companies. Please never donate to the MS society they are crooks only interested in the giant salaries and sucking up to Big Pharm, not the people they were set up to help.

    everyone should watch this doc- very well done and profoundly real

    This is a brave, compassionate and real look at the dysfunctional relationship between disease and our modern health care culture. A must see for anyone who ever plans to see a doctor and take a prescription let alone have chronic symptoms of any kind. You are being fooled by big industry and sadly our apathetic if not complicit FDA. A life changer if you don't already know whats happening in healthcare. Very well done!

    I have no one to talk to about this....SAD

    After stifling sniffles and periodic eye drying, anger sets in. These scarce cinematic masterpieces uniquely appear before us. They appear almost preordained by some unquantifiable force, but they'll find us...the lucky ones with antenna still raised.

    Disclosure, I have not a single root in MS or any other autoimmune syndrome yet "Living Proof" gratefully sought me. I'll leave you with this: If you want to measure the character of someone this Documentary is all you need. Ask them to watch, if they're devoid of feeling or attachment then they most likely dwell in the dark recesses of the mind, lacking empathy, and you might want to reconsider your relationship(s) with them. Yeah, that's how much this flic efffin' moved me. Enjoy.

    What an inspiration

    I can only vouch for myself, my brother has MS, he's getting worse and worse, you cannot talk to him or the rest of my family about diet they laugh in your face, unfortunately auto immune diseases run in my family, I myself have rheumatoid arthritis, since following this diet I've gone from needing my son to help me out of bed in the morning being crunched up in pain to pretty normal, my inflammation is going down every day. For those of you with either autoimmune diseases or specifically MS, please don't dismiss this as guff, please try it, what do you have to lose, it's just eating differently, try it and see.

    Having RA I can't have nightshades vegetables, this is quite typical for arthritis sufferers though.

    Good luck everyone and thank you to the makers of this movie

    Must watch for anyone even without that disease

    Another movie proving the diet and the lifestyle are the key!
