7 msfocusmagazine.org I have wanted to use frankincense, but just haven’t bought it yet. Thanks for the nudge to get me moving! Thank you again for this article. Finding alternatemethodstohelpuswithoursymptoms is so very important! Anything that will enhance our quality of life is vital to our well-being! Jo Ann Maxwell Dear Jo Ann, Many people don’t know that MS Focus was founded with the goal of educating people with MS about both traditional and complementary alternative treatments for MS and its symptoms. Since 1986, we have provided information on how to safely use CAM treatments in conjunctionwith traditional medical care. (If you’d like to know more about CAM therapies, you can request our booklet Complementary and Alternative Medicine for People with Multiple Sclerosis.) Like you, we believe that quality of life is important, and recent research has confirmed that many CAM therapies can contribute to quality of life. The article you mention was written by Chris Hudspeth, the station manager for MS Focus Radio (msfocusradio.org). In addition to being a talented broadcaster, Chris is a certified yoga instructor, and in his spare time, creates customized essential oil mixtures for friends and family with health concerns. You’ll hear more from Chris as we continue a series on CAM therapies. Check out his latest article on the benefits of massage on page 34. Dear Editor, Hello. I just want to thank you very much for including my recipe, "Hacking the Slow Cooker," in the Spring 2018 issue of your MS Focus Magazine.
