We would love to be able to provide free books across the world but unfortunately as a small non-profit organization, this is not currently possible. We are working to expand this program to other countries.
A free published book can be posted to you in Australia and New Zealand. For more information, visit the free book area of the website.
Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis by Professor George Jelinek is available to buy online in most countries – in Kindle format or softback book. It is available in the following languages: English, German and Bulgarian.
Smoking in any form is discouraged as part of the Overcoming MS Program. Vaping should only be used as a first step for adults to stop smoking. Vaping is less harmful than smoking cigarettes, but it should not be seen as a healthy choice as it is not risk-free. Vaping exposes users to some toxins, and the evidence is still undetermined about what the risks might be in the longer term.
Most vapes contain nicotine, which is an addictive substance that can be hard to stop using once you have started. Nicotine is riskier for young people than for adults, as evidence suggests the developing brain is more sensitive to its addictive effects.
