In past blogs I’ve referred to and listed many autoimmune medical/mental/emotional issues related to diet. Autoimmune problems in particular are central to inflammation as a result of eating processed foods (SGISVO, aka sugar, grains, industrial seed & vegetable oils) as noted by both Dr. Georgia Ede and Dr. Joan Infland.
With that said, I have discovered another researcher, doctor and professor from the University of Iowa (Go Hawks!) whose story is nothing short of a miracle in terms of complete recovery from her autoimmune condition: Dr. Terry Wahls, author of The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles who suffered debilitating health from multiple sclerosis (MS). In 2018 she was awarded the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Linus Pauling Award for her contributions in research, clinical care and patient advocacy. Dr. Wahls also endured secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which confined her to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. She restored her health using a diet and lifestyle program she designed specifically for her brain and now pedals her bike to work each day. Incredible!
Just Imagine….
This is a woman who was told her MS condition was progressive an irreversible - as most people agree with and believe. BTW, that’s the same message Type II Diabetics are told in which everyone also believes.
Meanwhile, I would like to encourage and promote the idea that YOU can reverse virtually ALL physical and mental issues through diet and lifestyle choices. Here is where you can connect and learn more about Dr. Wahls: Journey to Health.
