Roger MacDougall (2 August 1910, in Glasgow – 27 May 1993) was a Scottish playwright, screenwriter & director. In the 1953 he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis which eventually resulted in significant disability. Through disillusionment with orthodox medical treatments at the time, he developed a diet, loosely based on a paleolithic diet, that apparently returned him to good health and sustained remission. Following this experience, he published a pamphlet describing his diet intended to help other patients to achieve similar results. This diet produced positive results in other patients, though success was not universal. That pamphlet is :
MY FIGHT AGAINST MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS - Similar to the OMS program

The diet Roger MacDougall created and followed was before the Internet and information about alternative therapies became more easily available. The OMS diet, which came about decades later is more scientific but this is worth reading by anyone with MS, similar autoimmune conditions or other serious illness.
