- Опубликовано: 12 май 2024
- A physician went from collapsing and unable to walk at one point to remarkably reversing multiple sclerosis.
Dr. Sam Gartland chose not to rely exclusively on treatments that would just slow the progression of the disease. Instead, he made changes to the food he was eating and the way he was living his life. The combination stopped the MS in its tracks and completely restored his health.
He joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to share his journey, his new way of eating, and the decades-old research that set him on this journey. He now devotes his career to helping others with MS find their way back to health.
Dr. Gartland will be speaking at the Nutrition in Healthcare Conference in Melbourne, Australia, Feb. 17-19, 2023.

I was diagnosed with MS at the age of 50. I know now that I had MS long before that. I am 80 now and still have MS.
I have learned to live with MS and not fight it.
My thoughts and heart is with all those that have MS.
How do you keep it from getting worse?
Or how did you jerk it under control so long? 💚🙏
Since my diagnosis 9 months ago, my way of life has completely changed, I continue to improve my diet, I walk more than 10km daily at night, I gym with weights 3 times a week, I really feel in my best state even with MS. Greetings from Argentina!
Wow, 10K each night!?! You're an inspiration!
Hello, to be honest, I don't feel it that way, but my body tells me I'm doing the right thing. Thank you
I have an extremely similar story with my MS journey! Except I'm a truck driver not a doctor lol. Now I am training for a 2-week hike in Peru! Oh... And I've lost 50 lbs working on the last 20😊
That is brilliant! I hope the hike went well. Thanks for sharing this is working for you also
Wow!!! Healing IS possible. GOD BLESS YOU!
Hello !
I was just wondering if you had any trouble getting your DOT physical renewal due to your diagnosis ? What kind of paperwork did you bring if so ? We are currently going through an MS diagnosis of a trucker in our family as well and I am just trying to gather some information but its very sparse on the internet.
Thanks for your help and all the best !
It is just crazy that Doctors do not get nutrition training in Medical schools.
Every doctor visit should include some nutrition discussion. The majority of the population is over weight or obese leading to high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. Schools and hospital cafeterias should be leading the way to good health by setting the example of what is a healthy meal and teaching people what to eat and why.. Every person in the hospital for heart disease should have a nutrition class before being checked out from the hospital with follow up education and training in nutrition. Medicare and Medicaid should require patient nutrition education as part of their standard of care. Nutrition information should be run on the hospital TV channel.
Absolutely. Also goggle Dr R. Lustig on diet/sugar. Very informative on lack of MD training in lack of medical nutrition.
Then you have celebrities and politicians promoting alcohol and fast food. Bribing you with diabetes inducing ice cream to get the vaxs.
Trouble is...fresh foods aren't splashy. Ads for them don't make you want to run out and buy them, like pizza, burgers, tacos, ice cream, BBQ, donuts, cakes and cookies! We need a complete mind shift, where giving candy to a child is not seen as a reward, but an eventual coffin nail. I once worked for Walmart, and employees were given $1 coupons, as a bonus for a treat if we did something exceptionally well. One day, I got four of them, and when I went home, I grabbed a gallon of milk, cashing in my coupons for it. The managers all came around, and eventually decided I couldn't buy food with it. "It's just to reward you-like with a Coke or a candy bar." Excuse me, largest-store-in-America. That's a death sentence, not a reward. Now, I won't even eat 96% of the food sold at Walmart. How can we educate them?
@@kjirstinyoungberg7794 fresh foods don't create customers for doctors and the pharmaceutical company. They want you to eat sugar and junk food so they can prescribe ADHD drugs, anti depression drugs etc to your kids and you. It's a never ending toxic cycle.
They don't make money off of people being well
Thank you for this podcast!❤ I have been relapse free since 2001 by following Dr Swank’s diet then transitioning to a WFPB diet. I still have some numbness and fatigue but for the most part am disease free. Mri went from 11 lesions to 1 inactive lesion.
I am so happy for you.
Many do not dare to do anything else than the doctors say or they think "if it would help, my doctor would have told me".
@@roswithabed3650 my doctor dismissed my diet as the cause of my remission. He ordered my old records (they were paper records) and old mri to review my diagnosis at the 15 year mark. He orders mri every 2 years. I just stopped going to him because I hate getting the mri .
@@jeanninethompson6243 I hear nothing else from colleagues who took their health in their own hands and had much better results than with "modern" medicine. It is a real tragedy.
WFPB diet hurts my stomach. Feels like it is shredding my stomach
@@msam6622 check out Dr. B. (Will Bulsiewicz). Guthealthmd. He has good advice how to deal with many stomach issues online. He is a very practical gastroenterologist.
Fiber Fueled: The Plant-Based Gut Health Program for Losing Weight, Restoring Your Health, and Optimizing Your Microbiome
Will Bulsiewicz MD
Oh the crazy meds! I tried 4 treatments, IVig, injections, Tecfidera and all caused severe suicidal attempts, severe anaphylactic reactions to name a few side effects. My body told me to get that crap out of my body fast. I am meds free for 10 years and am doing 100% better. Gut health is so important as was mentioned here. Good job and thank you!
Hello, what exactly are you doing to stay off the Tecfidera ? Being you are meds free for over a decade now, do you still get any form of mild symptoms from time to time ? If I run on the ground, my legs shock up after a few seconds.
What type of things did you take do for your guy?
I was diagnosed 3 years ago after living with vague symptoms for 16 years. I attribute my diet and lifestyle to managing my disease over that time until vision loss prompted a diagnosis. The key to living well with MS is managing inflammation through diet and lifestyle, along with DMTs. I've improved my diet since diagnosis and have no evidence of disease for over 2 years now.
Please help. Did you do any hospital treatments like receiving Infusions to help you be in recession? With the WFPB diet what other hospital treatments did you do? I’m trying to figure out what hospital medicines and treatments I should do or do you feel they don’t work?
@@dominicingram6896 I've been on Ocrevus for 2 years now, but started on tysabri for 5 months. I never received any other treatments from my MS. I'd recommend aggressive treatment with a DMT as early as possible. I don't favor escalating DMTs over time.
I see a lot of diets. What about yours?
I had asthma for 10 years and had to take steroids. After reading and studying about immune system I decided to try to go a different route. Instead of killing my immune system I decided to take something that is calming your immune. I took quercetin with bromaline supplements. 3 weeks later my asthma was gone. My doctors don’t even want hear it.
I know it's supposed to be helpful, and is to many, but it's so frustrating and confusing to have such radically opposing dietary approaches to MS out there, each saying the other side's logic is flawed and pointing to this or that study or this or that person who has recovered and claiming proof of efficacy as a result. The fundamental approach to Swank is the removal of saturated fat, with recommendations of multiple servings of grain and legumes daily. Meanwhile the Wahls/Keto/Paleo protocols point to science that says that (the right) saturated fats are a key to combatting MS and regenerating myelin, and that grains and legumes are major contributing factors to MS. Then allopathic doctors say nutrition has virtually no impact on the progression of the disease. The only real answer is to be your own guinea pig and watch what happens. It wouldn't be quite so maddening if the stakes weren't so high, but it's my f'ing life you'e talking about here.
I've been vegan for about 25 years, and have had a lot less health issues. Accountants are trained to make their error on the side of conservancy, so it's rather better to be safe than sorry, ❤love. I'm also somewhata religious vegan also I study different sacred texts and the early messages for us to be strict vegetarians /vegan is almost lost but it is out there and it is recommended as a practically panacean diet, along with fasting once a week. So I don't eat anything of the forbidden fruits of the tree of knowledge of Good and evil which is all of us creatures people's animals out here in this world. (Ref. Traditional references and Essene Gospels of Peace book one, gnostic texts found at Nag Hammadi Egypt ( and Pistis Sophia)). I'm glad also that I've learned to fast once a week.
word! I just don't know what to eat anymore. Saturated fats are a big no-no that's for sure, as well as processed unhealthy foods that's a given. But when it comes to fat free yougurt (greek in peticular), fruits and vegetables and types of meat, nuts and legumes, rice and whole grain (bread, oats, etc), I'm totally out of ideas. I'm losing weight and cognitive function fast and I don't know what to load up with. My GI is all over the place and reacting to almost everything.
Eat the full fat yogurt and dairy products. The low fat thing is because 85% of people are obese. The fat in the milk products will help to slow down the zooming effects of the milk sugars helping you to regulate your blood sugar. Sugar is bad. Eat low carb but not NO carb. Choose organic grains when possible. It's the pesticides, chemicals like Roundup and processing that's the real problem. Aim to eat food as close to the way nature made it. If you eat beef- a steak is better than a hamburger. Organic chicken is good. Organic eggs if you're not allergic should be OK. Avoid refined processed oils. Cold pressed oils are OK. Olive oil is good, ground up sesame seeds (tahini) is high in calories and good. Buy nuts fresh never on sale and keep in then in the fridge or freezer. I put some out in jars and freeze the rest. Limit sodium. Wash fruits well. Keep a food diary and try to spot patterns. I fall asleep sitting up at my desk after eating cereals. I get a stuffy nose from who knows what. Still trying to figure that out. Good luck and remember everyone is different. Use your own intuition, pay attention to how you feel and try not to get too obsessive over it. @@stephangauthier911
@@stephangauthier911what is wrong with saturated fats?
Imagine a resort for MS patients. Offering healthy diet, exercise and more. It would be a great place for docs to monitor the effects and improvements on patients. Hopefully help cure many people and teach them how to live a healthy lifestyle for when the leave the resort.
Thanks so much for this! I have also been living well with my MS for over 15 years. In addition to my medication, I eat a whole food plant based, exercise regularly, get good sleep, and practice mindfulness/kindness.
All of these are key to my health and well-being.
Can you recommend a plant based cookbook to start? I am trying to save my life from ms. Newly diagnosed. Thank you for sharing this comment.
The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book By: Roy Swank
Fascinating that a demyelinating condition is improved by a diet with no saturated fats or cholesterol (important factors for building myelin)
Maybe the plant based diet is the reason you still have MS after 15 years. In tribes such as the Masai who only eat meat and drink blood and milk, these diseases do not exist. Have a listen to Mary Ruddick, very interesting lady.
Matthew Embry and 'The Best Bet diet" for MS. His father, a biologist went over the original Swank materials and later info from Mediterranean diet etc etc comparing it all to come up with and have now published the Best Bet Diet
Thank you so much for sharing your success story. I have also reversed the symptoms of Secondary Progressive MS, RA, Fibromyalgia and Hoshimotos Thyroiditis. I have published my healing journey. I am driving, dancing and playing golf now.
This is one of the most inspiring episodes to date! This gives not only those with MS and other autoimmune diseases hope, but it's also inspiring for anyone wishing to find a way to optimal health. Thank you so much for this and all you do on this channel! ❤️❤️❤️
The 'Swank Diet'was the first one that I used
@@sharranallen8387 Is it helping you?
You're going to retreat that
@@orbitingdecay6797 why
Praying for all here 🙏 ❤️
I chose an anti-inflammatory diet and focused on vitamins and minerals that heals the nervous system. Eliminated all stess until got better. Symptoms were gone 1-2 months later.
What are the vitamins and minerals that you took?
Magnesium
My exact choice as well. Stress>Inflammation> Poor nutrition>Fear & worry>Lack of sleep>Not enough sunshine & fun = autoimmune disease
@kathykonkle1097 YES! I had the same symptoms as you and in the same order. Doctors were no help, so I had to do my own research to save myself. Perhaps you did the same type of research 🤔
@@dshoccz Yes, magnesium was a big one.
What I’ve come to notice more and more is, so many people with MS were very active, physically fit people prior to diagnosis. I was a fitness trainer for big corporations and this knocked me right out of the box. It seems obvious that with exercise, our core temps elevate causing internal heat which is a trigger for exacerbations. Has anyone else learned more on this aspect of MS?
Yes Heat for some makes their symptoms more active. it did for me, so exercise has been changed and there are cooling vest, and fans you would wear while exercising.
Not Heat its animal products and obsession with protein. I noticed that lots of GYM 'fit' people take protein shakes made with powdered cows milk (not our species). The body has to fight it as "not me " just as it would reject a transplanted organ. Plus Human breast milk is about 6% protein so that is the amount we need as humans. How do you think the body would react to lots of rats or dogs milk and its products several times a day. Plus meat is very acidic and lots of fit people are brainwashed into thinking they need lots of it. You should see Teh Game changers movie as maybe it will help.
Hi. It is so interesting to read your comment. When I was 26 years old I used to go to the gym 7 days a week for circuit training on all of the machines followed by a mile swim afterwards.
I started with numbness in my legs just after my 27th birthday which continued to progress to symptoms all over my body. Three months after my 28th birthday I was finally given a diagnosis...that of RRMS.
The MS hit me hard. I have never been given any MS DMTs which has allowed my MS symptoms to progress.
I am now 44 years old and find it difficult to walk from my lounge to my kitchen, let alone go to the gym.
It would be interesting to know if there is some link between very actively fit people and the on-set of MS.
Also, one of my main symptom triggers is heat!
Emma
This theory does not fit to my two Cousins nor a friend...I would say it's from a vaccine in earlier childhood which triggers a myelitis which leads to MS that is my opinion..I mean a myletis is post vaccine sympton...
Good on you! Happy for you and grateful for you sharing and helping others. ❤
Fantastic, this needs to be shared far and wide. Amazing science.
Thank you for sharing this helpful info. From El Paso Texas
Wonderful and inspiring story! I just sent this to a friend who's wife is dealing with MS. I thank you and thank God for steering me to your interview!
I have a friend who has Parkinsons and I bet that can also be overcome. This mans story needs to be given to every MS sufferer worldwide! Animal fat collects all the toxins they bioacumulste? Roundup is water soluble and getting into our air, rain, etc and I think is causing huge health problems.
This is my favorite podcast of Chucks ive seen!
I feel like getting a spray can of paint and writing ITS THE FOOD! on every hospital around here.
Dr. Brooke Goldner cured her Lupus with a WFPB diet. Many have cured CVD, cancer, type II diabetes and numerous other diseases. Some doctor's say even type I diabetes can be cured. These diseases originated from a bad diet and they can often be cured by a WFPB diet!
How's your friend now?
Tell him to follow the whal's protocol
Ruminant animals filter out most toxins. It's the fruit and veggies that absorb toxins and roundup. Red meat is the healthiest food.
The humble potato is chemical attack 5 times before it gets on your plate, the last chemical attack is round up to kill off the potato plant, while at the same time some of the poison gets stored in the potato.
Your brain is 80% fat
Myelin sheath that is damaged is fat.
I'm carnivore, I no longer have MS
Wow🌞🌞this was mind blowing interview 🙏 thank you both so much for sharing😇😇
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 fantastic and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for not being afraid to stand for true Health!❤
So inspirational! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story. Hopefully this can inspire those who suffer with this disease & those of us who don't but know the health benefits of plant based living. ❤️👏
Beautiful story. Spreading good in the world ❤
Great information as always 👍 👌 👏
Thank you for this. Was recently told that I have 2 new lesions. Diagnosed on 3.2.18. I'll be following
This is awesome. It's great to see ANOTHER ONE. The truth should be promoted by Mainstream Media, but I'm completely aware that doing so, isn't a part of certain agendas, which is sad.
Every patient is completely different, and what works for someone else, didn't necessarily work for others.
I have RRMS, so I know firsthand about MS. I took, was a Certified Sports Trainer, with the National Academy of Sports Medicine. There's so much to be uncovered, yet, there's so much STILL being hidden. Why is this man not in the biggest newspapers in the Country? It's not promoted because it will cause 'issues'. I'll leave it right there.
GOD BLESS HIM, for coming out and talking about it. I heard some stuff about Ms. Donna Eden as well defeating MS. The list will continue to grow, THAT'S MY PRAYER. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😊!! 🧱 walls are meant to be broken.
Wow what a history. I am amazed that anyone had useful lifestyle advice for this lucky doctor. Congrats on joining the good fight.
A little misleading. All MS is different. RRMS, PPMS, SPMS are all different forms and literally every different case affects everyone differently. What he did was not 'cure' his MS at all, it was simply treatment through diet and lifestyle. That works for some, but sadly not for many.
Just because 2 doctors reverse their own diagnosis, but yet tens of thousands more do not as a person who suffers with advanced stage RRMS, where it wasn't discovered until after I had 8 lesions on my spinal cord and 13 in the white matter of my brain, and have worked my way back to walking through diet and exercise as well, that does NOT mean I am 'cured' or no longer have MS.. it means I am treating it with a better lifestyle.
Sorry, but this is legitimately clickbait. Sorry, but after 5 years and all the articles I have read, doctors I talk to, and hundreds of other MS sufferers in discords I am part of... it doesn't work that way.. every case is wildly different, which is why there is no cure, only treatments.
And he says this is a be all end all, and he isn't even 50. Diet and exercise can slow it.. but he will have issues later in life, because the disease is still there, whether he wants to acknowledge it or no. Hope is good, but making people think they can 'get rid of MS' with good lifestyle decisions alone is dangerous.
So how long were you purely plant based and following the protocol he, Swank, McDougall and many others doctors recommend ? Reading about something / Talking about something, thinking about something has never cured anybody, as McDougall says, "The easiest way of doing anything is doing it 100%" So I repeat... How long were you 100% following the Swank / McDougall / Goldner protocol ? When this guys Scan came back with No lesions.... that tells me he's snuffed out the disease. Will it return.... Maybe. But you seem to be wishing it on him to prove your point and that is a low act.
hes 43
@@yourcelebrant Okay... thats were I KNOW it is a snake oil salesman... lesions don't just poof. He might not have anymore ACTIVE lesions, but many lesions are where damage is done via your immune system attacking the lining of your nerves, causing scar tissue and damage to the nerves themselves.
Unless he is somehow suggesting that diet also reverses nerve damage and deletes scar tissue... Something tells me this is 100% wordplay for clout. He is treating his MS through diet and lifestyle changes, it didn't miraculously go away. Once again selling snake oil, especially with diseases where there is no cure and you need to keep on top of treatments and lifestyles... IS DANGEROUS. Someone who believes this will 100% work will have a bad experience if they stop all treatments for this 'cure'.. because NO TWO CASES of MS are exactly the same.
It's autoimmune. Diet can control it. To the point you are functional.
We can change the trajectory. I did. 12 years now. Nutrition and fitness. I had been in a bad way and mostly symptom free now. Keep going!
Thankfully my parents had the resolve to change my diet at an early age.. I was able to go decades without a major setback.
Fabulous thank you for this episode. I follow the OMS programme and it really is a game changer. The seven steps cover more than just diet (although that's key) - my favourite is 'do whatever it takes'. Empowering and hope filled. Everyone who gets diagnosed should be given this info
Thank you sooo much for this program! I have been living with progressive MS for 30 years now. Never give up hope, where there is still live, there is still hope! I am 70 years old now and wont give up hope till the day I die! Winnie Jordaan from South Africa!❤❤❤
Thank you so much, I’m sending it to my friend that has MS…
Thank you 🙏 for this‼️‼️
Thank you. Congratulations to living life well
This is an incredible episode. Inspiring for everyone with a so called incurable illness. Thank you so much ❤
It's bullshit. There is no treatment to reverse MS.
Congrats Dr Gartland. TY for sharing. True humility always appreciated. Hoping labels and division in health will be obsolete one day. Just medicine/health science for benefit of humans worldwide. Ideally based on cooperation and free open respectful debate and dialogue. Some say crowd funding for studies may help. Maybe if implemented so researchers are 100% free to report any/all results and objective/unbiased w/no hidden or potential conflicts of interest. Prob a long way off.
I got my MS confirmation diagnosis today. I found out the medication is going to cost $346 a month after the pharmacy called me. I take supplements that are supposed to be helpful and I also go to the gym to lift weights. I have good and bad days related to walking. Took my son to the movies the other day and could barely get up the steps to our seats. Some days I can walk with ease but my gate is always off. Hopefully I can get some treatment answers that I can slow it down or stop it completely.
Hi, look into Coimbra protocol. Basically high dose vitamin D. The quicker you start the better. It apparently can heal nerve damage. Do research on vitamin D. My client found out to late in her MS journey. But hers has not declined in 9 years, and rarely does she go to a doctor or use any prescription drugs. All the best.
Sorry about your diagnosis. I'd recommend specialised exercises, not just weight lifting. I like MSing Link and MS Gym . Food was easiest to change for me, have never liked exercise.
Very interesting and useful, really a great video, thank you for taking the time to present this information.
I know someone with MS who did well with this diet for a couple of years but still moved into the progressive stage of the disease. Good luck x
Some attacks are a lot worse than others and leave damage and symptoms that seem to be permanent, or certainly don't fully recover for years after the attack, even with plant based diet

Fantastic show Chuck and Dr Gartland. Utterly inspirational❤regards from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you. What great information
Following Carnovore WOE Was a total life changer for my
RRMS! Dr Ken Berry, Dr Anthony Chaffee, etc! Best to all!!
I tried vegan/PBWF for 8.5 years but I did not start experiencing healing until I went high-fat carnivore in '21
Omg. "Completely inadequate response to what I was facing" is exactly how I felt when I was sent home from hospital after diagnosis. I was given leaflets and just didn't really know what would happen next. When would they contact me? Should I return to work? I felt like they'd wiped their hands of me. I'm interested to learn more about this. I thought you were going to be a "quack". Its a breath of fresh air to hear your English accent, and see that you're a normal person, no showmanship. Thank you.
All Doctors are not the same. Some are scientists and healers. Some are average and follow the agreed approved protocols. Some do not care and want the reimbursement. Most Americans like in confusion.
Out of the horse’s mouth, Doctors don’t become doctors because they care and want to save lives, they become doctors for the money
This video has left me more confused about nutrition and MS than I was before. He mentions Prof. Schwenk and the youtube channel all about MS run by Dr. Beaber. So I went to Beaber's channel and he says that Schwenk's diet allows boneless chicken, egg whites, and nonfat milk. Beaber also discusses Dr John McDougall's plant-based research and says that it didn't work at all for MS, in fact his patients got worse.
Gartland's own page points to protocols that recommend a pescatarian diet-- fish plus vegan foods.
Gartland also mentions prostate cancer and diet, yet I've heard the Dr. Dean Ornish's research on this topic didn't show a statistically significant change in his patients (although they didn't get worse).
Gartland also states that you have to remove unhealthy fats and replace them with healthy fats. This might explain the pro-fish position on links found on Gartland page. And if he isn't eating fish, does he rely on lots of flax seed-- I remembered he mentioned using flax in a fruit smoothie? This scenerio is reminding me more of Dr. Brooke Goldner's protocol for auto-immune diseases with a huge focus on omega 3 seeds, something you never hear from most plant-based doctors that say not to get any nuts or seeds at all. Gartland give little specificity on what his diet is and how this compares with others that have reversed MS.
Also, Dr. Wahl reversed her MS and recovered after being a wheelchair and she did it on modified paleo diet (lots of meat and vegetables) and when Wahl was diagnosed with MS she had been on a mostly low fat vegetarian diet.
Unfortunately, there are almost no other interviews with Gartland on the internet where he might clarify what his diet entails, and what it is exactly that he thinks works to reverse MS.
Thats because its treatment of MS, not a reversal. The disease is still there, and can effect the patient through many means later on. This type of 'snake oil salesman' cures are incredible misleading and dangerous to people who actually believe it is a be all end all cure.
Dr. McDougall said his MS patients were able to reverse MS. From what I've learned is that some people can improve when they remove dairy and processed foods, but other people need to be strictly WFPB.
@@ninasnutritionandwellnessvideo But WFPB is what he was using in his research, but Dr. Beaber-- whose entire channel deals with research on MS, said McDougall research was a failure. I haven't read the research myself, Dr, but Beaber is simply interested in what works-- he reviews all diets. I've never seen McDougall pop his research up on a screen to show how well it worked.
@@SunFellow941 Dr. McDougall provides research on some of his videos. Dr. Brooke Goldner’s protocol is probably more effective for MS since it’s a lot more restrictive.
Yeah I feel like I wasted my time watching this whole video. Plant based is the message but he could have explained that within 10 min. Have you tried energy medicine? There is a woman who recovered from MS using energy medicine. I think it's called Eden energy medicine
Great movie!!! Bravo!!! 🤗🌿🌾✔️
I was doing yardwork and got bit by a tick and went six years with no antibiotic cause I didn’t have a bull’s-eye. I kept saying it was a tick bite and they kept giving me the test in the hospital. Don’t they know that that tick goes in your bone in tissue and not your blood. That’s why the test were coming negative. Long story short I almost died from an MS, drug and steroids, you have to go to a Lyme literate doctor when you get bit by a tick only and I did the best test in the country I Gen X it came positive for Lyme. Are we check for Lyme first with a lyme literate Dr!!!
Powerful " How are you going to value the life that you Have"

@@AnthonyOkafor-cc6uu do Carnivore diet many have been healed by this..
I've had multiple sclerosis for 38 years. I was eating a very, very clean vegan diet and kept getting worse. I switched to carnivore fifteen years ago and have never felt better since. I take no disease modifying drugs. I'm off of three high blood pressure medicines off of muscle spasm medication and morphine for horrific pain. Everyone's body acts differently to the oxalates and lectins when not a carnivore.
Carnivore diet seems to help everything ❤
Most likely the diet that works is the one you believe works. The mind & brain are very powerful. Just use common sense and eat as natural as possible and avoid fake processed junk food.
Thanks for posting about your experience. Wishing you continued good health.
Very inspirational interview 👏 showing the effectiveness of nutrition on health. After years of excess animal protein I've just adopted a WFPB diet and feeling great after just one week. 👍
What about the symptoms from really bad MS attacks that last for over a year and seem to be permanent to some degree?
Is there any information on how to heal the damage from long lasting symptoms that a plant based diet alone doesnt heal?
Great video thank you. I am doing the best I can with diet following the Dr. Jelinek diet and I do feel good. I am on a DMT Was Dr. Gaartland on a DMT? If yes is he still on one?
I’ve lost over 100 lbs while not exercising and eating dairy and meats. Energy UP! No more shortness of breath while has ALL lead me to increased exercise which has lifted my entire soul up. Whatever works for YOU.
I have PPMS and wheelchair bound. I got tons of sunlight when I was little. But as for healthy eating, not so much growing up in a big Italian family. Lots of pasta.
Do not give up hope. I also have PPMS and have pushed myself through intense neuro-physio and now do 40mins daily on the spin bike and feel like a different person now. Try to move as much as you can - even if it's only your arms, just move and get that BDNF and neurotrophins flowing through your CNS.
I'm so glad for your results and finding this priceless info. It continues to be confusing, though, how so many things have been corrected with the intake of saturated fat; such as the entire family of Jordan Peterson, which took them all of a basket full of meds. This is an on-going discovery for us all. Thank you and congratulations. Glenn
Doctor , I have been in a fight for almost 15 years. I happened to come upon your video. Changing your diet I heard you say. I’m already small. Been through a lot, from b tumors, beat two breast cancers, I have vasculitis of cns, Behcet disease. I think it’s from exposure in military. I was once physically fit and now barely getting by.
I appreciate this podcast.
I was recently diagnosed with ms (9/12/23)
My story is very similar. I just got put onto fml. The neurologist I see has even sad that I have a “special case” of ms. I’m not entirely sure of what that means or how severe it may be. .
The scan results were 😟
I start IV infusion 11/16.
I like to use the stationary bike multiple times a day 10 minute sessions, more if I could. I use PT exercises often, and I’m looking into a new diet to help as well. Reading, reading, listening, watching anything on ms that could help me.
I want to be how I was before, I want to work and know that I can confidently, without shame, at least be able to walk around a grocery store.
Again, I appreciate this podcast and hear a story very similar to my own. 😔👏
Wishing you all the best on your journey to recovery! hang in there, you are stronger than you might think. May I also suggest that you look into Dr. Brooke Goldner, she's amazing!
Yes, yes, yes, there are many MS diagnosed patients who have found all this works.
First diagnosis 2008, first optic neuritis 1996. Now age 73. Very few symptoms, in fact fitter than many of my generation. Diet, exercise, keeping busy, and mindset.
I go in for my second part on the 22nd of November. I am in the same boat as you. I can’t wait to be able to walk non sloppy again. This is so depressing for me, not to be a downer.
@@sarakhaldi5085 it is understandable and you are not being a downer. It’s a sudden change in our lives that make it so hard to accept. It was for me anyway and it took me a while to actually do something about it 😅
Had my first appointment yesterday, I don’t feel so fatigued like they said I may feel like. I believe using a stationary bike really helped that for me.
How was your first appointment? I hope it went well! ❤
@@susanmunslow5989
Diet exercise and keeping busy with hobbies! Yes yes yes
I do a lot of cleaning during my time off currently and I feel like that helps.
I’m glad it’s working for you and that is my goal!!
Recovering is overstatee
Dr. Gartland, what would you recommend for meditation? Do you use any meditating apps?
Now that symptoms are gone. And MRI was clear. Do you still take the medication.? Excellent content.
What day do you have the live show. I thought it was Weds at 12 noon, but seems like that is OLD NEWs as it isn't live today.
Outstanding testimony to the magical benefits of a WFPB lifestyle. Overcoming MS. Absolutely amazing and inspiring AND possible!!
S wonderful and true, I know exactly how to eat to halt my MS and reverse symptoms, I've done so much research over the last 2 year, bur my issue is I'm a single mom with 2 kids, no financial help and battle to feed us so I eat everything I shouldn't as it's the cheap food and I hate it, my MS is glaring again and I know it's my diet and just feel helpless
How do you reverse ms and stop progression please?
The Rose Leslie video made me cryyyy
I love that they are proving the links between animal products and MS. More and more people should be told about this and it's crazy that doctors are not trained in this. I always link my client to Plant based doctors website Nutritionfacts and any research, so that they can help themselves to NOT recreate their disease unknowingly.

Hello Doc . I have MS . I was wondering if you could help me with this issue
Thanks and God Bless
Thank you for sharing.
I do believe though that the disease originated and was more prevelant in the Norwegian area, so it could not have been from the western diet.
I may be misconstruing what you call western diet with diet in the US
Wow. It definitely wasn't hard for them to diagnose me and I didn't even have an episode. I didn't have a episode 2 like 12 years later. I just had a headache that I never get headaches there was some tingly feeling on one side of the body but my walking was still normal and impeccable but they sent me to get a MRI because I had the insurance to do it even a doctor was like yeah cuz they gave me like the regular little when you like when somebody's drunk touch your nose. Even the doctor was like yeah I don't think it's a mess and I was hosting a conference at the time so I told him whatever you bring back and let somebody die in 30 minutes just don't tell me tell me after the conference and he was like where you're at school was probably you know that going to be nothing at all so I didn't make the follow-up appointment until after I had the MRI. And immediately they tell me is Ms and recommend me to a neurologist and that was it that was never no pause they didn't even tell me with kindness the doctor was basically real blase about it
Ok what is the diet? I never accepted their experimental meds and I just don't take medicine. I'm a master herbalist now I'm studying to be an ND so I see a bunch of opinions about everything but I'm self-employed and I don't take any medicine for it anything. Other than this my body is healthy. I'm going to keep listening and maybe you maybe you have papers or book or something so I could learn further cuz this is the first time I've even heard of you although I have heard of other people saying they cured it and for me that's my only option I mean I surf for pleasure I climb mountains I hike that's a part of my life so yeah it's going to have to be a healing
Having my first relapse after being diagnosed fourteen (14) years ago.
My vitamin d level was #7.
Now, I’m looking forward to complete recovery.
Absolutely do not recommend vegan diets for. Autoimmune diseases.
I love how they ask a critical care nurse,,,,"are you depressed".
Fantastic Guy "Dr" with a big smile YES PLANTBASED WAY OF EAT 👍👍👍👍😊Yes Big Thanks Chuck
So for how long/to what extent has Dr Gartland been medication free? I heard that Dr Wahls was on meds, including, IIRC, alemtuzumab, for some time.
I almost wish I was sick before I went blanton based so I would have a story like that. I just went plant based and lost 40 lbs
This is awesome! It irritates me on how mostly the doctors nowadays just want to write a prescription that only causes more problems!? I am diabetic and I follow whole food plant based and energy is out of the roof and also my numbers. It is all about the food you consume!!😁👍💪 Congratulations Dr 👨⚕️ on your accomplishment!!
How do you explain no active or new lesions with disability progression?
Smoldering MS. It's caused by the innate immune system within the CNS.
Eat sardines, figs, pumpkin seeds and almonds. This is going to level the catecholamine and oxytocin levels which will relieve symptoms of chronic stress, pain and fatigue. Water hyssop is also really good.
My M.S has been reversed. No new Lesions in 12 years and I now have 0 (Zero) “bands” in my spinal fluid
How did you achieve this?
Help I’m terrified
How was this done? Please reply?
?
Please can someone respond. I have just been diagnosed with ms and the first thing I did was cut out refined sugar and gluten. I was already plant based however I now incorporate more seeds daily. Nigella, hemp, flax and chia. I eat Macadamia nuts daily, about 10 , because they are proven to help repair myelin . But what I need to know is are all these people following the diet NOT taking any of the traditional ms medications such as kesimpta or ocrevus? I'm due to be starting in the next month. And I'm on the fence because I generally do not like meds unless absolutely necessary. That being said , this attack I did the customary round of 5 days prednisone at 1250 mg a day and I HAVE seen improvements. The last attack I had 3 years ago I still was not diagnosed so I dod not do meds or change much in my diet and I was numb in the feet for over 1 year. Now after 3.5 weeks I am where I probably was 6 months in then. So please is the recommendation to do this WITH meds for a shirt period or long term, or NO meds
Where did you find proof that macadamia nuts repair myelin? Could you post links to this information?
what is the diet
I have talked to about a 100 people who totally defeated MS and then relapsed again. Now, I just say talk to me again in 40 years.
I havent started medication im wondering if its okay to try with diet and exercise first before medication or should i take the medication as well as incorporate lifestyle changes as well
Get on the strongest disease modifying therapy (drug) that you can as soon as you can. Accumulated neurological damage is irreversible.
@@demoskunk The DMT seems to have awful side effects. I do not know which one to take as they all seem so risky.
What is the diet that got you well. Tell us
What’s the name of the program
Dr. are gradually waking up in treating the causation rather than treating the symptoms. Whole food plant base diet and exercise is a powerful combination. Dr. need to learn this instead of handing out pills for the pharmaceuticle company. Fortunately i found a Dr. in S Australia who practices lifestyle medicine (WFPB). It feels good to have this Dr. who speaks my language and supports what i am doing.
To generalize about the "western diet is wrong. I guess anglosaxons think they are the only westeners. I sm from Spain
I am a westener and i have lived in England for 8 years. I can tell you that my Mediterranean diet groing up in the south of Spain had nothi g to do with the British diet. Furthermore, the only diet reccomended by top MS experts around the world is the Mediterranean diet.
What if he is simply in remission? I have much trouble believing this, but I want to.😮
Has anyone overcome Crohn's? I'd like to be med-free, but I'm scared I'll continue to feel fine but my scopes will still show inflammation.
You may like to look at vids from dr. John Bergman. I am sure he did a vid on crohns. I also personally have great faith in fasting. Peace, love & health to all.
The maker's diet by Jordan rubin. He had crohns and cured it with diet.
I find the website " health unlocked " very helpful, its for many conditions.
Soo what lifestyle changes he made? Diet followed? How did he reverse his MS ?
Sam good job.
Just have to say though it is not the plant based diet per se it is coming off the mixed SAD. I am a and did it with carnivore diet , so what is the common factor? That matters more.
It is the circadian and non toxic light environment. Food is a light barcode of the sun’s radiation spectrum. POMC and melanin linkes everthing said about Manchester and blue lit toxic IR night shift hell you worked in.
I would loose those Non native EMF emitting earpods too. Anyone interested in deeper meaning ie. bioquantum effects follow Jack Kruse, Laszlo Boros and Pollack about POMC, deuterium, exlusion zone water re.
The disease has same root as any other. Broken mitochondrion biosemiconduction. Pretty deep.
The most important think. Food or diet. They didn’t spend any word about it. Since, the majority cause of MS is the nutrition and related toxicity.
Who here has been unable to walk and then can walk again! I don’t want to live anymore most days and my legs are shaky my doctors refused to listen to me until I could barely walk. Someone please say something.
See a neurologist or MS specialist and get on an effective MS drug, if you're diagnosed with the disease.
Please try a carnivore diet.
Not to be a downer, but its called relapsing - REMITTING - for a reason. I`m waiting to see his full lasting recovery 10+ years
I have a question
