1/25/2012

If you have not seen this yet, it is quite remarkable. Dr. Wahls is a physician who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that damages the myelin sheath insulating the nerves in your body. Without myelin, your nerve signals may slow down, or stop altogether. Dr. Wahls went from being nearly bed-ridden, to biking and horeback riding after adopting an intensive, paleo diet.
  


She emphasizes consuming these foods:
  • Sulfur rich vegetables - Cabbage,broccoli cauliflower, kale, onions, mushrooms asparagus
  • Colored vegetables or fruits - three different colors of vegetables each day - beets carrots, peppers, red cabbage, or fruits like berries and oranges
  • High quality protein rich in Omega-3 fatty acids - wild fish, especially salmon and herring, and grass fed meat every day
  • Organ meat - liver onion, heart tongue, etc.
  • Seaweed - rich source of iodine and sellenium, atleast once a week

She is now testing the effects of this paleo diet on multiple sclerosis in a clinical setting. The results are quite promising. You can read more about her story and foundation here. If you would like to donate to her research, here is more information.
