Please take a minute... MS Walk 2012


I have Multiple Sclerosis. I was diagnosed 10 years ago. I have been wanting to do this walk for some time. Now is my time! I realize not everyone can go and be a walking participant. But if you could make any kind of donation, it would be greatly appreciated.



Before you dismiss this event thinking “I can’t afford to donate any money right now with the economy the way it is,” I want you to consider a few things…

1. People don’t stop getting diagnosed and living with MS when the economy is in a slump. Now, more than ever, The National MS Society can use your help. The money you donate not only goes to fund research, support groups and other programs, but it also financially helps families deal with the cost of items like cooling products and even college scholarships.

2. Everyone can use another deduction on their taxes. 100% of whatever amount you donate to The National MS Society is tax-deductible. Not only that, but 78% of the money you donate goes directly to fund research, programs and education. That’s one of the highest percentages out there among charitable organizations.

3. If that doesn't inspire you, how about this...MS can cause blurred vision, loss of balance, poor coordination, slurred speech, tremors, numbness, extreme fatigue, problems with memory and concentration, paralysis and blindness… and there is no cure or effective treatment. Once again, I am asking for your financial support in my pursuit to raise funds to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis and to provide support for those affected by MS.

Please click on the link below to go directly to my personal fundraising page. No amount is too small. Every dime makes a difference.

Your continued encouragement and faith in my ability to accomplish my fitness and fundraising goals are more than I could hope for. I hope you will find it in your heart to contribute to the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. Your donation will make a difference in someone’s life. May you realize success in your own endeavors. Thank you for joining the movement!

MS Stops people from moving. I walk to make sure it doesn't.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

P.S. I would appreciate it if you would forward this event to as many people as you can to encourage them to donate as well. Thanks again.

  1. I just finished editing and illustrating a book for a well-known food scientist, Woodrow Monte, PhD, in which he reveals in detail his discovery of the cause of Multiple Sclerosis. I am now doing everything I can to get the word out to people who are suffering from MS. Dr. Monte’s work is sound and his conclusions are undeniable in face of the voluminous evidence he provides. He has been working with several MS patients who, based on his findings, are getting their lives back. One who was in very bad shape not long ago is now driving and riding her horse for the first time in six years. His findings explain why such diets as the “Cave Man” diet actually result in some remission in symptoms.

    Dr. Monte proves that the simple one and only cause of MS is exposure to methanol. It is the methanol in cigarettes that is responsible for the known link between MS and smoking. It is the methanol in Ditto machines that is responsible for the MS cluster in school teachers. And it is the methanol in aspartame, which is heavily consumed in diet sodas, that is responsible for the explosion of MS in the past 30 years since its approval by the FDA for use in diet drinks. Methanol is found in lesser amounts in several common foods as well, but all are easily avoided.

    When consumed, it is converted by the enzyme known as Alcohol Dehydrogenase Class 1 (ADH1) into formaldehyde inside the body’s most sensitive tissues. Formaldehyde works as an embalming agent because it is very "sticky" - it is a molecule that grabs onto anything it comes in contact with, and it ties all the cells together, causing a rubberizing effect. Once inside the brain, the formaldehyde quickly attaches to the myelin sheaths, and that change prompts the body's white blood cells to devour the damaged sheaths. The myelin sheath can regenerate if it is not yet entirely destroyed - which is why MS sufferers experience periods of remission and why avoiding methanol in the diet and environment can cure MS if it hasn't gone too far.

    I will send anyone who asks the chapter from Dr. Monte’s book that deals specifically with MS. Just email me at beckymillerartist at yahoo dot com. More information about Dr. Monte and his work can be found on his website: www.WhileScienceSleeps.com.

  2. Good news: Dr. Monte has made the chapter from his book that deals specifically with MS available for free download on his website. You don't have to log in, register, or pay any money. It's free and easy! Read it for yourself and find out how you are being exposed to methanol – the one and only cause of MS.
