Alan Osmond: A Real Hero’s Comeback from Multiple Sclerosis
Alan Osmond, the eldest member of the world-famous Osmond family, is reclaiming the spotlight after years of battling multiple sclerosis (MS). Once sidelined by the disease that weakened his body to the point of using a wheelchair, Alan has made a remarkable return to singing, playing piano, and composing music — the very things that first brought him fame.
For decades, Alan lived with the physical decline brought on by MS, but in recent years, a significant breakthrough has changed the trajectory of his life. With the support of his faith, his devoted wife, and an experimental natural treatment called SF-1019 (also known as Immunis), Alan has defied expectations. Though not yet approved by the FDA, this treatment is currently in clinical trials overseas, and Alan traveled to England to take part in one of them.
Two and a half years ago, Alan couldn’t lift his right arm or hold his grandchildren. He had to stop performing with his brothers, who had been headlining in Branson since 1992. But now, with determination and the help of this new treatment, Alan says: “I still have MS, but MS doesn’t have me.” His Utah-based neurologist, initially skeptical, has seen enough progress to call the results more than a placebo.
This inspiring journey means more than personal recovery — it signals Alan’s readiness to return to the stage with his siblings for their 50th Anniversary World Tour, marking a profound moment in Osmond family history.
Alan Osmond’s story is one of perseverance, faith, and the power of never giving up. He remains a real hero — not just for what he’s overcome, but for the hope he offers to countless others fighting similar battles.
