Can Diet Interventions Reverse MS? A Firsthand Account
This episode of Full Cup Life by Dr. Tom Moorcroft features Dr. Terry Wahls of the Wahls Protocol fame. Herself, a survivor of Multiple Sclerosis, Dr. Wahls went from being disabled by her illness to regaining her strength and mobility – actually reversing her condition. Dr. Wahls shares her story about MS, the prodromal symptoms, her diagnosis at age 45 while a mother of two small kids, and her painful and painstaking journey to creating the Wahls' Protocol.
Dr. Wahls researched long and hard to create the protocol that has helped so many. It's backed by rigorous science and three clinical trials. The 90% adherence to her protocols in her clinical practice is truly remarkable. What Dr. Wahls has to say during her conversation with Tom Moorcroft is of interest not only for people with MS and their loved ones but for anyone who has an interest in preventive medicine. Anyone who believes that enhancing the quality of life is of greater value than a mere prolongation of life will find much valuable information here. The podcast is essential listening for anyone looking to manage chronic conditions or wishing to avoid ailments like dementia later in life.
Dr. Terry Wahls is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she conducts clinical trials. She is also a patient with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and was confined to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. Dr. Wahls restored her health using a diet and lifestyle program she designed specifically for her brain and now pedals her bike to work each day. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles and the cookbook The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life: The Revolutionary Modern Paleo Plan to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions. She conducts clinical trials that test the effect of nutrition and lifestyle interventions to treat MS and other progressive health problems. While I knew food was important and had the power to heal when I read The Wahls Protocol it was literally the first time I was directly introduced to the healing power of foods and the first diet I recommended in my clinical practice.
