The Wahls Protocol
Posted: Sun May 25, 2014 10:20 am
Has anyone here tried the Wahls Protocol and found it helpful?
Dr. Terry Wahls is an MD in the USA with secondary progressive MS whose disease had progressed to the point where she was using a tilt recline wheelchair. She did a lot of reading up on MS and came up with a protocol that has resulted in her no longer using a wheelchair and being able to walk without assistance. She is doing clinical trials of her protocol now to try to prove that what she advises will work for others also. What she advises includes a specific diet, and for wheelchair users, electrical stimulation of muscles to regain strength.
I am not affiliated with her, but I did just buy a copy of her book! This past week I started adding more colorful fruits and veggies to my diet and it seems like I have a little more energy already. Fatigue is a huge symptom for me, so much so that I don't have the energy to cook. So I'm making veggie and fruit smoothies with a Vitamix, which I also just discovered.
Here is Terry Wahls' website in case its helpful to anyone:

Also please post here if you've tried or are using her diet.
Thanks!
