Dr. Oz: Montel Williams challenges multiple sclerosis with diet and supplements

Montel Williams considers himself a survivor. And, as he told Dr. Mehmet Oz when he visited his talk show on April 13, evenmultiple sclerosis couldn’t stop him from achieving his goals.

Williams advocates staying hydrated with coconut water and smoothies. But not just any smoothies will do. He recommends blending fruits and vegetables such as pineapple, watermelon, blueberries, apples, bananas and spinach.

In addition, Montel credits supplements for boosting his energy and relieving pain. He uses 100-300 mg of chlorophyll and 1000 IU of vitamin D each day. Chlorophyll also can be sourced from leafy green vegetables, fresh green juice drinks, wheat grass or spirulina.

B12 also is a key component of Montel’s program. While he takes injections, Dr. Oz suggests dietary sources or supplements. In addition, Three Root tea and five cloves of garlic daily are important parts of Montel’s “Fountain Of Youth” energy program.

Montel isn’t the only celebrity to battle multiple sclerosis. Country music star Clay Walker also struggles to control his MS, reported ABC News on April 12.

“When I was dealt that blow I was devastated being diagnosed with a debilitating disease,” admitted Walker. But that was 19 years ago, and oh, how times have changed for the singer.
