"With homespun recipes from “Mitt’s meatloaf cakes” to "banana trash pudding," Ann Romney’s new cookbook, "The Romney Family Table," has been a brisk seller since its recent debut, topping Amazon’s list as the bestselling hardcover cookbook.
That is good news for the Center for Neurologic Diseases at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and the center’s co-director, Dr. Howard L. Weiner, who has treated Romney since she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998. After writing the cookbook this year, Romney announced that she would donate the proceeds to the center’s research into the causes and treatment of neurological diseases -- including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
On the campaign trail last year, Romney spoke openly about her struggles with multiple sclerosis, a debilitating disease affecting the central nervous system. She has said hers is in remission.
When Romney’s adversaries portrayed him last year as a heartless corporate raider, his wife countered with stories about the early days of her diagnosis, when she was too weak to handle routine tasks like cooking dinner. The former Massachusetts governor stepped up on the home front, she would tell audiences, reassuring her that he was perfectly happy eating cereal for the rest of his life.
Now in her solo turn in the spotlight, Romney has talked more about her involvement in multiple sclerosis research, including her participation in a long-term study of MS patients at Brigham and Women’s that is focused on improving the quality of life of patients with the disease. "

"Romney, a part-time Californian, is already participating in Brigham’s CLIMB study of MS patients, which the Center hopes to expand to California and other parts of the country. The study collects data annually from 2,000 MS patients -- including MRIs, blood work, and quality-of-life studies -- in the hope of developing clues into why some patients fare better than others over time.
Weiner noted that Romney benefited from immediate and aggressive treatment as soon as she was diagnosed. “That’s a very important principle that people are now understanding—that you treat early and aggressively,” he said. “With new drugs coming on to the market, we’re beginning to talk about disease-free status -- people who are totally free of disease -- and how can we achieve that.” "
