I believe in good Nutrition for support I stay away from anything which claims a cure. I follow I high Gludathione diet. Gludathione is an antioxident that supports the liver. It basically eating lots of fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. Gludathoine supplements do not work because the digestive system breaks them down. It is basically just common sense. I shop at the farmer's market or the peremimeter of the store. I graze all day instead of three big meals. I drink a lot of water. I grow vegetables in the summer. I saw this fireman on Sunday Morning talking about it and it made sense.

I'm not sure I believe there is a direct relationship between diet and MS. I firmly believe there is a direct relationship between diet and overall health.
I eat as healthy a diet now as I ever have. Low carb/high protein seems to work for me. It's helped me lose a bunch of weight. I think that our bodies are at war, albeit with themselves. Anything we can do to better our bodies for the fight, including diet, is worth it.

While cleaning up our diet is good for all of us (and may well make you feel better), it is as yet unproven that any diets actually effect disease course. As per the UK's MS Society "Certain diets are promoted as effective therapies for MS. Some people may find they help, though this hasn’t been proven conclusively for people with MS." http://www.mssociety.org.uk/what-is-ms/treatments-and-therapies/diet
Part 9 of this MS Trust document covers specifically marketed MS diets. http://www.mstrust.org.uk/downloads/diet.pdf The Swank diet's trials were outrageously flawed, they warn that Overcoming MS may lead to low iron and calcium deficiency if that's not accounted for in other sources, and Dr Wahls seems to be essentially personal anecdote (My own take from reading her writing, watching her TedX Talk, and reading her tiny "study" protocol).
http://summaries.cochrane.org/CD004192/dietary-interventions-as-complementary-therapies-for-multiple-sclerosis-ms "More research is required to assess the effectiveness of dietary interventions in MS."
Long story short, eating well is good for us... and everyone else. Dietary changes alone, however, have not been shown to be of benefit related to altering or improving disease course.
