I have been reading the book, The Wahls Protocol-How I beat Progressive MS using Paleo Principals and Functional Medicine, by Dr. Terry Wahls, at the encouragement of my husband. He has been following the diet and since he does much of the cooking in our house these days, so have I. That means I am trying to follow a gluten free, dairy free (although I love cheese!)diet, among other things.
He has become a believer that I can improve my health and specifically my M.S. by adhering to Dr. Wahls' regime. While I want to get on the bandwagon too, I have to tell you that I have had M.S. for thirty-one years. I have tried to stay current on all things M.S. and have changed many things in my life to try to do that.
But I now have secondary progressive, and I am not sure that the things that have been damaged in my body by the "ravages" can be fixed by the Wahls Protocol. These are things that I will consult with my neuro about specifically.
My question for you is this - has anyone followed the Wahls Protocol and what are the changes that you have seen? I know everyone of us reacts differently and that each individual does not have a consistent reaction over time. But I am looking for a "gut reaction".
I am going to go through with this, believing that it can only help. Since the book is on MSWorld's book list to be reviewed, it may help in completing our review of the book. So any anonymous opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks, from me and my husband!!!
