Diet therapy and MS debate in reader letters
A reader cites Dr Gott claiming diet and vitamin therapy cured MS in a long-term patient with no progression. Another letter argues there is no proven cure and diet cannot beat standard care. Diet guidance suggests lean meat, poultry, fish, salads, vegetables, fruit, and to begin exercising despite limitations.

Colon cancer risk and the case for screening
A reader asks if a colon cancer exam is worth it and how to persuade a reluctant husband. Experts say first degree relatives with colon cancer raise risk, polyps can become cancer, and colonoscopy can detect and remove polyps. For those with family history, annual to four year screening is advised and early detection improves cures.

Walk for a better body with practical walking plan
Fitness expert Denise Austin promotes walking as a safe aerobic alternative to running. A brisk walk burns about 300 calories per hour, builds endurance, tones legs and glutes, and is nearly injury free. Wear supportive shoes, stay upright, swing arms, and follow a 12 week plan from Lenox Hill Hospital with gradually longer brisk walks.
