I’m 35 and have been diagnosed with MS for 12 years. I just started a clean diet and I realized the other day that I feel hopeful for something for the first time in my life. Only people that have an autoimmune condition understand the struggle and how hopeless it feels. I’m so glad that you have both healed yourselves!
Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last year. Found two lesions on my brainstem and two on my spine. My neurologist was concerned and had me start rituxan. Did some research and found Dr. Wahl. I immediately started on a Paleo diet. A year later I had lost 65lbs and the lesions on my brainstem and spine are gone I only have two in other areas. There is something to this I think.
@@robr39 What you've written is not quite true. If you go to his website and click on "Shop" you will find many things he is selling. It looks to me like he is making a business out of selling books and videos.
Dr. Wahls' personal story of recovery is the most powerful interview that has been shared here so far to date. Awesome and inspirational. Thank you for sharing your story, Dr. Wahls.
This is the best video I have watched all year. It was worth every minute of the 45! Please share with anyone you know with MS or other autoimmune disease.
I admire the financial independence of people, But you can live better if you work a little more. After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me, retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income-generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum. I plan to work until I'm at least 45
Nobody knows anything, you need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, through thick or thin while also continuously learning from mistakes and improving
@@MarcelPhilips Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near-retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for a while now mostly cause I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I netted over $220K during this dip, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know
Another incredible episode. The best solution for supporting health starts with going back to basics, good food, cooking, mindfulness, community. These messages nurture my soul. Thanks Dr Hyman for introducing us to the people making a difference.
Truly amazing testimony. My husband has symptoms of stage 2 - 3 Parkinson. His appointment with neurologist is in 4 days. I've been eating keto way so we already have much of necessary ingredients for Dr. Wahl's recipes. I'm taking away his crap food. I started an organic food delivery service. Our grocery bill went down a couple hundred $ a month and we don't deal with food spoilage anymore. I order quite a few ingredients from Amazon every month but easy to keep the food budget much lower.
Newly diagnosed with M.S. I will be 55yrs old next Saturday. I have Secondary Sjogrens, R.A and Fibromyalgia also. I reversed Hashimoto"s disease, I weighed 176.5 lbs a yr ago. Now, I weigh 122 lbs
I'm going to do what you say. I've got more than 20 lesions in my brain, 7 lesions in spine and can hardly walk anymore but have to keep working or I'll become homeless and die of hunger because no government support here. Just diagnosed last year after 5 years of going to doctors and been laughed at when I mentioned that I thought I might have MS. Everyone laughed and said to stop reading things in google and when they finally diagnosed me after years of symptoms and other issues, it's already at the stage where it just keeps getting worse. Unfortunately I live in Colombia where no one gets MS here so no one understands it or has the time to learn about it. My new neurologist seems good. He put me on Mavenclad so hopefully that helps me somehow although I doubt it, but of course I'm happy about that and grateful, bla bla. Well, thanks doc. I'm going to try my best with the food. I want to walk and run again one day.
Oh my goodness God bless her I’m so happy she’s not in the wheelchair anymore my heart goes out to her bless her heart she has been through so much she is an inspiration to help us all🥰🙏💕🌅🦋
So inspirational -- I'm seeing so many folks in the media sharing they've been diagnosed with MS -- I sincerely hope they find Dr. Wahls sooner rather than later.
Thanks for sharing. I'm on a journey, 1 year into OMAD LCHF and my psoriasis still isn't going away. Time to follow her protocol. Thanks. I lost 30 pounds on this, but need to heal other things. I have dry eye since birth and it sucks so much. I hate having to use eye drops every morning. It hurts with out them.
Dr. Hyman, I love learning from you. Going for my MS in Functional & Integrative Nutrition in MN. Basically going to heal people with food & plant medicine as a CNS & at a health and wellness shop.
I don't have MS but I'm in Graves remission and have chronic systemic inflammation with some of the symptoms of other auto immune disorders including alopecia, arthritis, vision problems etc and I'm desperate for a definitive lifestyle change to finally rid myself of these issues. I believe the Walls protocol could be helpful for anyone with chronic inflammation and auto-immunity.
I really heard this: it won’t work unless I let go of the lectins: NO LEGUMES NO SOY Also: NO GRAINS NO EGGS NO DAIRY NO GLUTEN NO SUGAR What also stood out is,if I have any hope to succeed,before I begin,I must clarify my PURPOSE in doing this: WHY am I doing this? For whom am I doing this? If I am passionately motivated, this will give me the discipline to make it past the temptations and carry me through the difficulties of detoxing and withdrawal I experience as I’m letting go of foods I’m chemically and emotionally addicted to. Passionate purpose and deep meaning will also give me the willingness to exercise and meditate daily. Thank you, thank you,THANK YOU,Dr Wahls!!! Bless you.😇
Thank you for your work. Im in the process of being diagnosed with a demyelinating disease, possibly MS and I'm in a lot of pain. My friend just bought me your cookbook and this will probably be the route i have to go. I'm on anxiety meds, muscle relaxers and sleep meds. I don't want to be on any of it.
Thank you for sharing this information. When you hear "autoimmune disease" for the first time is shocking, but there is hope that this may change if we detox our liver and start giving our body the food that it needs.
Hi Teresa, your comment gave me hope for this Hashimoto´s issue. I prefer to think about him as an intruder trying to live in my Thyroid. Well, I am new in Hashi´s town. I do not know much about him, but I am learning how to beat him (I know it is related to stress and I need to do yoga but it is also food so I am on that way now).

I toyed with the paleo diet. I removed most sources of gluten and cut carbs drastically. My thyroid numbers improved dramatically. Imagine if I went full out.
Dr. Hyman, I love your work. Please could you do an interview with someone doing research on Lou Gehrig’s disease. My brother in law was just diagnosed and we are desperate to help him!
One of Dr. Wahls' points in the book is that ALL disease starts on a cellular level, with the mitochondria. Then the disease manifests different ways in different people, depending on genetics and other circumstances. So although she is addressing MS and autoimmune diseases specifically, the diet should be helpful for any disease.
I have been on disability for almost two decades for FM and CFS. I have been medicated, over medicated for years. Almost three years ago I began looking for a way to fix my body. Functional Medicine came to my attention. I am very poor and cannot afford it. Medicaid is sick care not health care. In the middle of tapering medications I had two small strokes and was diagnosed with microvascular ischemic disease. The Wahls protocol sound like a good path for me.
I have an autoimmune disease myself. I developed it when I was 26 years old and now I am almost 78. I am convinced after walking my own path and seeing videos like this that the institution of medicine does not want you to get well. I feel doctors are not trained in nutrition on purpose. The drug corporations don’t make money when you’re well, only when you’re sick. I have even argued with doctors over the years trying to convince them that vitamins are necessary. I find myself almost in arguments with them because they poo poo them and just want to put you on drugs. While I am grateful for drugs, and I think they are necessary in a lot of cases, but they totally refuse to work with people as far as nutrition goes, in my experience. For example, I believe that vitamin D is very important and I also think that they have lowered what they call the necessary limit so I do my own thing anymore with nutrition. And listening to this doctor makes it even more convincing obviously. So I think we need to take some of our healthcare into our own hands. Listen to your body, know your body and work with someone who will work with you on a more nutritional path as this lady indicates.
As a retired allopathic physician, I have always believed diet could be healing or one could dig his/her grave with a fork! Born 3 months prematurely with subsequent cerebral palsy, I developed Hashimoto's thyroiditis at 40. Now at 72, though still ambulatory, and exercising daily, my energy reserves are diminished. I've been gf since 2015. Hopefully my cook/husband will be interested.
It’s remarkable how all our chronic diseases can be helped using the same nutrient and cooking principles. Standard of care medicine has really dropped the ball but I can’t really blame anyone for it. It’s the system that has distorted medicine.
Its nice to hear that mushrooms and garlic are a very healthy food. I started taking a fermented mushroom supplement and a fermented garlic supplement a few months ago.
I also eat marinated mushrooms that I make at home. The problem is that getting all the various mushrooms in the fermented form costs an arm and a leg. That's why I add some fermented mushrooms to my diet as well. I get all those medicinal mushrooms as well. I also eat garlic, plus I also take a small supplement of fermented black garlic. One of the advantages of taking the fermented form of garlic and mushrooms is that it does not add to calorie count...not that I count my calories since I'm on a high fat diet. I just don't like seeing that I consumed 3000 calories on my Cronometer account. (They have not figured out a way to show that high fat calories don't count as full calories compared to carb calories.)
I have raised a child since he was 14. He is now 27 and was just recently diagnosed with MS. I immediately bought the Wahls Protocol, but I have yet to deliver it. I am diabetic, so I'm using it for myself. I have taught him to cook though, so I know he is eating well. I agree with Drs. Hyman and Wahls that teaching children to cook is essential. I have taught my granddaughters, 7 and 14, to cook since they were four.
@@anime-nn9klwell you can “lol” and joke all you want to but the only science back, rigorously tested treatment for ms are the disease modifying therapies currently available and functional medicine (not dr walls as she frequently partners with neuro groups) consistently presents folks with a binary choice as opposed to a compliment. This is a complete disservice and wrong, hence so many “dislikes” from medical professionals
I’ve followed her and her protocol for well over a decade. The one ((BIG)) point to ask Terry regarding her protocol that prohibits eggs: she’s not saying all eggs are the same… correct? BIG difference between factory / industrial raised chickens/ eggs VS. farm raised chicken on pasture. This is my biggest criticism of her: as eggs has saved my health on three continents. Someone ask her to specify, please!!!
As I understand (from her book), the Wahls Protocol eliminates eggs because she is allergic to them. And when the medical hierarchy was doing research regarding the efficacy of her recommendations? They insisted that the test subject follow (precisely) what had helped Dr. Wahls. Hence? No eggs.
Thanks Dr Hyman for this super AMAZING interview with Dr Terry WAHLS.... we need to bring her out to tour Australian High Schools to educate the coming generations on food choices and health. School canteen food is dreadful. It's processed, sugar loaded, refined carb dominant junk that offers no nutritional or health support. The biggest hurdles are establishment education, people understanding, community acceptance, and the money the canteens earn from feeding students junk food, convenience and fast "food". Wish I had the ability to make this change in our australian schools happen but I think it will take a strong lobby group of smart and well connected people to do it. Once again thank you, and I too am going to look for Dr Terry's book as a reference for my own healthy ageing.
My Mother was a Regional director for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society during the 60s & 70s. I wish she was alive to watch this presentation and see the astounding results presented here. She worked with researchers and the hope back then was that Laetrile might be an effective treatment.
I agree. I have Hashimoto's and at times the most dark cloud over my head. I remind myself it is a physical symptom so I don't give in to the scary thoughts
For me, depression is linked to vitamin c. I found that out when I learned that the first symptom of vit c deficiency is depression and realized that when I'm depressed, I crave fruit. So I increased my vitamin c intake and the depression disappeared. My sweet spot is about 3,000 mg/day.
Not one person who answered you nor yourself actually should be discussing the profound nature and serious consequences of clinical depression unless you and they can do it in a more educated and less flippant manner.
I love all what I did here and learned today ! I have psoríase and doctors what to push medication I weather use food for medicine! I'm 60 years old not using any medication I do supplement with vitamins but psoriases is a bit active! I will buy the book ! I would love a recommendation for a nature path I'm in Massachusetts Framingham if you know of anyone or by distance online .I will appreciate very much ! Magda
This is such a helpful video. More veggies! I am going to give the Wahls protocol a try (vegan/almost raw style). I have had such great results so far with supplements provided by my functional medicine practitioner--my thyroid antibodies continue to come down year over year (Hashi's) but am still a bit resistant to veggies. I have been following Dr. Hyman since Ultrametabolism and every time I implement what I'm supposed to I achieve health improvements! Ready to really get those antibodies down once and for all. Peace to you and gratitude for all you both do!
Even though the leafy greens are healthy , they're also very high in oxalates. I would like to know what is the best way to prepare these foods. It sucks that you have to worry about healthy foods containing lectins, oxalates etc.
yesssss..thank you or pushing sunlight! I hate how the government lies about the sun , pushing sunblock, sunglasses. I love the sun, and my vitamin d filled mushrooms too...
More importantly, does she have any new lesions? Not trying to go against the grain, but you can have new lesions (which are also counted as a relapse) without any symptoms. It'd be amazing if the diet can prevent new lesions/plaques.
Love functional and progressive medicine but isn't it time you guys moved on from plastic water bottles.....so easily replaced by stainless steel or glass ...jus saying
Interesting that Dr. Wahls doesn't discuss genetic factors, like SNPs, and their role in chronic disease. I guess she believes that the protocol addresses those epigenetically by creating health. Would you agree?
She gives the best reasons for eating healthy fats; that the vegan diet is not a healthy diet. I get tired of listening to vegans saying how consuming healthy fats leads to heart disease.
I want to start eating bacon again and then use the fat to cook my eggs, then consume everything including the fat. Nitrate free bacon is very expensive.
I was dx in 1996 & quit taking the MS meds & take vitamin d3, sublingual b6,b12,folate,magnesium citrate & a multiple food based vitamin. good info though!
I love to eat 7to8 cups of kale, dark green leafy...I actually feel like nirvana when I have that Rainbow salad, with lemon garlic olive oil basil dressing, organic vegan.
I’m super curious about nutrition (especially a protocol like this one or a carnivore diet) in bipolar and schizophrenia. Both run in my family and it is devastating to those who develop it. My cousin went off gluten and it did make a difference in his mood, but I wonder what more might be possible. This talk is inspiring - if it can help MS, what else can improve?
Read The Grain Brain by Dr./neurologist David Perlmutter. Gluten could be contributing to the schizophrenia issue. Even without GI issues, it can damage the brain, causing inflammation and other cognitive/mental issues.
Is the angst against dairy because it has been processed? I have my own cows and delicious cream, butter and high fat yogurt that I make from my own milk so......are we comparing apples to apples or oranges? I do not drink milk but love our cream and it doesn't bother me at all but I never was able to handle the store bought stuff.
I was surprised how my part time service hours were calculated. I had 2 years of part time hours out of 37 years of service. The hours were calculated to determine my annuity not years.
I am a retired nutritionist (dietitian) with MS. Have you tried the Swank/OMS dietary protocol? As much as many M.D.’s would like people to believe that all MS sufferers are physiologically identical? My experience has been that we are all unique. And? That the truthful doctors admit this. I wish you the best. God Bless.
I’m 35 and have been diagnosed with MS for 12 years. I just started a clean diet and I realized the other day that I feel hopeful for something for the first time in my life. Only people that have an autoimmune condition understand the struggle and how hopeless it feels. I’m so glad that you have both healed yourselves!
I'm 46 and was just diagnosed with MS. :( It's awful and it's hijacked my life.

Thank you for saying!
What is truly inspirational is what can be done what diseases can be healed or made asymptomatic through diet and nutrition.
Dummy’s, She had chemo. That’s what helped her. She sells her diet to make money off of desperation. All the MS societies are a POS as well.

And we're all well-aware of your exceptional contribution to better medicine. Kudos to Dr. Hyman.

WHY am I doing this?
For whom am I doing this?
If I am passionately motivated, this will give me the discipline to make it past the temptations and carry me through the difficulties of detoxing and withdrawal I experience as I’m letting go of foods I’m chemically and emotionally addicted to.

That's why I add some fermented mushrooms to my diet as well. I get all those medicinal mushrooms as well. I also eat garlic, plus I also take a small supplement of fermented black garlic. One of the advantages of taking the fermented form of garlic and mushrooms is that it does not add to calorie count...not that I count my calories since I'm on a high fat diet. I just don't like seeing that I consumed 3000 calories on my Cronometer account. (They have not figured out a way to show that high fat calories don't count as full calories compared to carb calories.)
Just don't over do the garlic and onions. Aurvedic medicine says they are powerful and can over work the body if taken too often.
She said..Clearly Neurology has it wrong..powerful stuff..🧠💪🏾🙏🏾
My two FAVORITE people, together! Thank you both for sharing with us.
I have raised a child since he was 14. He is now 27 and was just recently diagnosed with MS. I immediately bought the Wahls Protocol, but I have yet to deliver it. I am diabetic, so I'm using it for myself. I have taught him to cook though, so I know he is eating well. I agree with Drs. Hyman and Wahls that teaching children to cook is essential. I have taught my granddaughters, 7 and 14, to cook since they were four.
Sweetie good luck to you but ms is not diabetes. Check in with your doctors.
For diabetes, see how to recover from it completely using Jason Fung's protocols, he is on RUclips.
Dear Dr Hyman
Can you also activate the subtitles in Spanish so I can share with my family and friends in Perú? Thanks🙏
You can translate the main point for them.
Creo puedes ir a Google translate.
27 neurologists that "help" people disliked this video
LOL!!!
@@anime-nn9klwell you can “lol” and joke all you want to but the only science back, rigorously tested treatment for ms are the disease modifying therapies currently available and functional medicine (not dr walls as she frequently partners with neuro groups) consistently presents folks with a binary choice as opposed to a compliment. This is a complete disservice and wrong, hence so many “dislikes” from medical professionals
I’ve followed her and her protocol for well over a decade. The one ((BIG)) point to ask Terry regarding her protocol that prohibits eggs: she’s not saying all eggs are the same… correct? BIG difference between factory / industrial raised chickens/ eggs VS. farm raised chicken on pasture. This is my biggest criticism of her: as eggs has saved my health on three continents. Someone ask her to specify, please!!!
As I understand (from her book), the Wahls Protocol eliminates eggs because she is allergic to them. And when the medical hierarchy was doing research regarding the efficacy of her recommendations? They insisted that the test subject follow (precisely) what had helped Dr. Wahls. Hence? No eggs.
Correction: “subjects”.
Utopihen soy free eggs
Correction; *What?!?* @@cynthiaengel568
I’m grateful I came across Dr. Wahls 🙏🏼❤️
Thanks Dr Hyman for this super AMAZING interview with Dr Terry WAHLS.... we need to bring her out to tour Australian High Schools to educate the coming generations on food choices and health. School canteen food is dreadful. It's processed, sugar loaded, refined carb dominant junk that offers no nutritional or health support. The biggest hurdles are establishment education, people understanding, community acceptance, and the money the canteens earn from feeding students junk food, convenience and fast "food".
Wish I had the ability to make this change in our australian schools happen but I think it will take a strong lobby group of smart and well connected people to do it.
Once again thank you, and I too am going to look for Dr Terry's book as a reference for my own healthy ageing.
I’m glad you liked it so much! Have a good time with Dr. Wahls’ book--it’s amazing!
This is incredible - a must watch video.
Thank you!
Great and inspiring interview! This reinforces that diet, exercise, and other lifestyle choices have a tremendous impact on our health.
My Mother was a Regional director for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society during the 60s & 70s. I wish she was alive to watch this presentation and see the astounding results presented here. She worked with researchers and the hope back then was that Laetrile might be an effective treatment.
Is that also known as "vitamin b17?"
I love you Dr. And God bless you for your work, and helping humanity with truth and integrity.
I'm starting to think that severe depression is an autoimmune disease.... seriously.
Me too.
When i feel down/ overwhelmed,
Make a smoothie full of good nutrition and feel better.
I agree. I have Hashimoto's and at times the most dark cloud over my head. I remind myself it is a physical symptom so I don't give in to the scary thoughts
Yes, I totally agree. My poor suffering teenage daughter does not.
For me, depression is linked to vitamin c. I found that out when I learned that the first symptom of vit c deficiency is depression and realized that when I'm depressed, I crave fruit. So I increased my vitamin c intake and the depression disappeared. My sweet spot is about 3,000 mg/day.
Not one person who answered you nor yourself actually should be discussing the profound nature and serious consequences of clinical depression unless you and they can do it in a more educated and less flippant manner.
Hope!
Amazing interview!
Amazing conversation. I have MS and love Dr Wahls. Thank you so much.
I love all what I did here and learned today ! I have psoríase and doctors what to push medication I weather use food for medicine! I'm 60 years old not using any medication I do supplement with vitamins but psoriases is a bit active! I will buy the book ! I would love a recommendation for a nature path I'm in Massachusetts Framingham if you know of anyone or by distance online .I will appreciate very much ! Magda
♥️♥️♥️THANK YOU BOTH♥️♥️♥️
This is such a helpful video. More veggies! I am going to give the Wahls protocol a try (vegan/almost raw style). I have had such great results so far with supplements provided by my functional medicine practitioner--my thyroid antibodies continue to come down year over year (Hashi's) but am still a bit resistant to veggies. I have been following Dr. Hyman since Ultrametabolism and every time I implement what I'm supposed to I achieve health improvements! Ready to really get those antibodies down once and for all. Peace to you and gratitude for all you both do!
I’m glad it was helpful!
what supplements were/are you taking or the major contributing ones if i may ask?
This series is amazing! Thank you!
Thanks for saying!
Fantastic. Thank you so much Dr. Hyman.
Even though the leafy greens are healthy , they're also very high in oxalates. I would like to know what is the best way to prepare these foods. It sucks that you have to worry about healthy foods containing lectins, oxalates etc.
God's work in the flesh! Bravo, Dr. Terry 👍
yesssss..thank you or pushing sunlight! I hate how the government lies about the sun , pushing sunblock, sunglasses. I love the sun, and my vitamin d filled mushrooms too...
Awesome video. Been listening from day one up in Canada
👍🏻
More importantly, does she have any new lesions? Not trying to go against the grain, but you can have new lesions (which are also counted as a relapse) without any symptoms.
It'd be amazing if the diet can prevent new lesions/plaques.
I have your book; haven't read much. This video spurred me on. Thank you
... and...?!?
Love functional and progressive medicine but isn't it time you guys moved on from plastic water bottles.....so easily
replaced by stainless steel or glass ...jus saying
It's glass.
Haha
Can't wait to get book and start
try fasting 4 auto disease
Yah is using Doctors to help people🥰🌹🌷
Loved your Amazing work!
The one thing I would ask here is what's the most efficient way to stay within the this protocol and increase protein intake?
Interesting that Dr. Wahls doesn't discuss genetic factors, like SNPs, and their role in chronic disease. I guess she believes that the protocol addresses those epigenetically by creating health. Would you agree?
lovely interview
Terry Wahls you are a remarkable woman.
She gives the best reasons for eating healthy fats; that the vegan diet is not a healthy diet. I get tired of listening to vegans saying how consuming healthy fats leads to heart disease.
bacon fat. I loved that! Want to start using ghee
I want to start eating bacon again and then use the fat to cook my eggs, then consume everything including the fat. Nitrate free bacon is very expensive.
Thank you for the excellent interview, I have PPMS. Does the protocol work for my case?
Basically you are saying that you have to fight the medical establishment to convince them that nutritious food is important for health outcomes.
I was dx in 1996 & quit taking the MS meds & take vitamin d3, sublingual b6,b12,folate,magnesium citrate & a multiple food based vitamin. good info though!
It's great that you are taking your health into your own hands. How is your MS these days? I hope you are doing well! Take care. :-)
If taking D3 you need k2 also with healthy fat like Avocado 🥑
I love to eat 7to8 cups of kale, dark green leafy...I actually feel like nirvana when I have that Rainbow salad, with lemon garlic olive oil basil dressing, organic vegan.
I’m super curious about nutrition (especially a protocol like this one or a carnivore diet) in bipolar and schizophrenia. Both run in my family and it is devastating to those who develop it. My cousin went off gluten and it did make a difference in his mood, but I wonder what more might be possible. This talk is inspiring - if it can help MS, what else can improve?
Read The Grain Brain by Dr./neurologist David Perlmutter. Gluten could be contributing to the schizophrenia issue. Even without GI issues, it can damage the brain, causing inflammation and other cognitive/mental issues.
Look up the GAPS diet. It has been used to get rid of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
Try full flush b3 (niacin) and read the book on it.
How's the Wahls' protocol different from the Bredesen protocol?
Is the angst against dairy because it has been processed? I have my own cows and delicious cream, butter and high fat yogurt that I make from my own milk so......are we comparing apples to apples or oranges? I do not drink milk but love our cream and it doesn't bother me at all but I never was able to handle the store bought stuff.
Mary Kay Layman A lot of people react to dairy, but not everyone.
It's the casein protein .. c2 protein is ok. Jersey cows for instance..

I was surprised how my part time service hours were calculated. I had 2 years of part time hours out of 37 years of service. The hours were calculated to determine my annuity not years.
Fat Back(as we call it), smoked turkey(or other meats) and Greens
chefs kiss
I tried Keto, fasting. Nothing worked. My symptoms got worse and I can barely walk today.
I am a retired nutritionist (dietitian) with MS. Have you tried the Swank/OMS dietary protocol? As much as many M.D.’s would like people to believe that all MS sufferers are physiologically identical? My experience has been that we are all unique. And? That the truthful doctors admit this. I wish you the best. God Bless.
Please comment on scleroderma thats also autoimmune, I know this can help them too
Can this diet work fora SLE..
