Wonderful talk! I adopted her diet and lost 35 pounds without hunger, learned to cook, and improved a lot of my MS symptoms.

This is the same advice my own Oncologist gave me after Endometrial cancer. I follow it and am healthy six years on. I LOVE my veggies, too. Easy to avoid junk food, now.

It should be a crime this isn't preached at doctor's offices. Im 44 years old, overweight and overmedicated. When I learned that I have brain lesions MS came up in my search for education. Even if I don't have it this is great info. Better late than never!

This is so far the best TED talk I've seen and an idea truly worth spreading! I don't have MS, but celiac disease. Recently I've become more aware of the amazing power of food, as I can see the immense changes the gluten-free diet has made to my body. Now I'm wiser and try to follow a diet including mostly vegetables, fuits, nuts and seafood. The biggest difference in my diet is using (really) lots of herbs and spices. It's very hard to change your diet so dramatically, but I'm inspired! Thank you!

I liked the video and also believe that you can fight disease with good food. My Mom was very bad with dimentia when I came two years ago to visit her. I stayed and have had her on a strict diet like the one you use, walks in nature and strict sleep routine. There has been such an improvement that she doesn't seem like the same person. She's 82.

I was just diagnosed with MS today, and I am thrilled to have come across this video. I thought I was a healthy 43-year-old woman until today, but I know that my diet has not been the greatest over the years. I have a high metabolism, and have been able to get away with eating unhealthy, processed foods for years...until now. I will be switching to the "hunter-gatherer" diet immediately, and I will update everyone on my condition in the future months. I am so thankful to have come across this video so early in my disease. I am confident that changing my diet will help to slow or halt the progression of my MS.

This is the best TED Talk I have ever seen! As a 21 year old who is 120 lbs. overweight, has just had some prostatitis, and is beginning to experience scary symptoms such as frequent thirst/urination (type 2 diabetes) and some blurry vision in my right eye along with numbness and fatigue (MS), this talk hits home so, so hard. Further, I have a dream to be a physician which seems in jeopardy considering my current health. As a student with limited finances, I will try to begin this paleo diet at least partially and hope and pray that it will bring results and save my life.

This is such a great talk. I love Dr. Terry Wahls! Her research, along with that of Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, has changed my life. I have yet to reach full remission, but I went from being in a rapidly declining state of excruciating chronic pain that was taking away my ability to walk to being able to power walk, hike, bike ride, go to the gym, and preform many other actives that used to be out of the question. Most of us think of our 20's as being the peak of our health, but the peak of my illness hit during my early 20's, and I had emotional breakdowns everyday thinking that I was going to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Now it feels like I'm aging in reverse. I feel younger, healthier, and more alive with every passing day.
Whether you are looking to cure/prevent chronic illness or just optimize your body's functioning so that you have the energy to live your life to the fullest, I highly recommend looking into their research. It also takes an open mind and a willingness to let go of previously held beliefs surrounding food. Before the autoimmune protocol, I was eating what most of us would consider to be an extremely healthy diet, but that was clearly not the case. It turned out that most of what I thought I knew about healthy eating was wrong. Dietary ideologies can be dangerous. I decided to experiment, and let my body be the one to tell me what I should and should not eat.

This is a self empowering video, and is definitely going on my must see list! Seems there are many who are controversial about a doctor making such claims, even in the face of the reversal of 2nd stage progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Their arguments against her are ridiculous, feeble and not worth reading in the face of someone whom medicated and cured herself with nothing more than a change of diet and lifestyle. In the physics realm, this is proof of concept and intuitively follows from Newton's third law. The result have been published for around 4 years, so its easy enough to check if you want to see if her case is isolated. But the truth of it is obvious, despite the self interest group that lay disclaimers.
I think she deserves praise and should be recognised for her struggle, because make no mistake, her struggle to come back from the progressive debilitations that afflicted her is not only miraculous but something she had to fight for.

I am in the process of removing the symptoms of my MS by embracing the Wahls Way. Myself and my husband are looking forward to the publication of the Wahls Protocol in March 2014. Not only has my life improved but the lives of everyone who comes into contact with me. I have turned other MS sufferers to this diet/lifestyle through Facebook. I'm looking forward to going back to work and not remaining a burden to the British tax payer. I plan to re-educate myself in nutrition/functional medicines and promote this diet to others so they may be well.
Thank you Dr. Wahls!

The diet in this book works. Yes it’s expensive but as she says you pay now or you pay at the hospital. My fiancé was diagnosed in February and from the beginning she has seen a dramatic recovery both in overall wellness and the lesions on her brain. The things that seem to set her and others with MS back most is dairy and gluten. This book WILL give you hope if you have MS, but it’s work. It’s not easy opting for 9 cups of greens over a cheeseburger. With time it gets easier. You got this!!!

T Skeen, I have secondary progressive MS, had it undiagnosed and untreated for 4 years that was through high school and my first year of university. I don't believe much in medicine and that it can do much better than healthy eating can. I'm no doctor but after I was put on many different drugs and didn't get any better I regulated my diet very similar to how she did and maintained my healthy lifestyle best I could. I can now run 100m in 11.9 seconds....Two years ago I was wheelchair bound. I'm living proof that what you just said is completely wrong.

I've changed my diet as a kind of health Insurance and better quality of life in my senior years. My dear Mother passed away last year and now realise how a better diet would have made a world of difference to her terrible, multiple health isues just before leaving us RIP.

Her story is true, emotionally uplifting, and powerful. We can take more steps in this same direction so as to make more gains for our human health given the body and the mind. We need to understand the connections between what the best of Western Medicine and Western Nutrition can offer us with what the best of Eastern Medicine can do to help us cure the most troubling health problems we face. We need to pay more attention to Yin and Yang and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Herbalism, the Raw Vegan Diet, the Hunter and Gatherer Diet, and Holistic Medicine. At the same time, we need to also include Environmental Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, and Epigenetics into this discussion. Then, we can learn how human psychology and physiology are connected. Hence, there is no need for us to use toxic drugs that are made in the labs by the pharmaceutical industry, because these toxic drugs come with deadly side-effects. The drugs can cause birth defects. The toxic drugs can cause inflammation in the mind and the body. We need to address air and water pollution. We cannot have good health without having access to clean air and clean water. Yet, we are all exposed to toxic chemicals that are added to our drinking water. This is the darker side of life, and most people like to pretend that life is all good. They do not like to look at the darker side of science in the West. We need to understand that we live in a Dystopia, and science in this world is being used to create more suffering and more misery. Bad science, pseudoscience, and medical errors are part of this problem. We need to investigate and research to get to the hidden facts to become informed health consumers. We need to learn how to make healthy food and lifestyle choices, as we learn to co-exist with the non-human forms of life in the environment. Can we end war? Can we live in peace? Is peace possible? We need to learn to treat all forms of life as sacred. We need to learn to co-exist. Hence, we cannot ignore ethical issues that exist in science. We need to understand the laws of nature and the laws of human nature from a moral, ethical, spiritual, and religious perspective. Furthermore, in order to understand science, we also need to study the connections that exist in art and in science. Art seeks the truth, just as much as science seeks the truth. We cannot ignore art, and we cannot push it aside and think that art does not matter in this discussion. Art, itself, can be a form of therapy. Art is used in medicine and in psychology as a form of therapy. We need to understand how art and the science of illusions can change the way think so that we can learn the laws of science. We need to take a multi-disciplinary approach to solve our problems. Western science is connected to Eastern science. Science will not give us all of the answers, so we will need to pay attention to the world of illusions (art, magic, and religion). Art and religion are connected to the laws of nature and science This is the all-inclusive approach to solving the great problems of our day.

Hi thank you for this, I've been on a similar diet for ME/CFS since February. It helps but I think It still needs tweaking. I don't have dairy, gluten, sugar, most fruits (just bloat me and make me feel rough), tea, coffee, chocolate, alcohol. I'm looking into grass fed beef but don't really eat red meat except occasionally and it's from the supermarket. Mainly eat turkey (supermarket) and salmon (wild fresh or tinned). I eat lots of veg and salad stuff but not Kale or seaweed so am considering adding these. I'm having a slice of gluten free bread or gluten free muesli in the evening and have been eating a tiny piece of potato with my meat and veg in the evening. I can't cope with carbs through the day. On this diet are nuts/beans/peas allowed and should I cut out the gluten free bread, potato and gluten free muesli? Any advice much appreciated. Thank you

The other 20 percent are 10 percent for protein in the form of sprouted beans, sprouted tofu and seeds such as chia, hemp and flax, and occasionally cooked beans, The final 10 percent is in the form of fats which are also from the seeds, some nuts, and tofu. I eat seaweed almost daily because I love it. I do not eat any type of animals products. I am nearly 60 and have no health problems. My bone density is at the 20-30 year old range. I had Hep C for 25 years and was cured with the new drug teleprevir (interferon, and riboviron) cocktail two years ago. I went into anemic shock after 6 weeks of treatment and required blood transfusions (ironic, as this is how I acquired the Hep C in the first place) and hospitalization. I went vegan after the first chemo treatment of interferon and riboviron, ten years ago, had failed. I researched diets that would be less taxing on my liver. The over-whelming consensus was for a vegan diet. On a vegan diet I remained "healthy enough" to continue teaching, body-building, doing gymnastics, and doing power yoga. One year ago, I found an amazing yoga teacher named Ali Kamenova, who introduced me to the 80-10-10 raw vegan diet...The change has been incredible. I have bi-annual check-ups and blood tests. Every function in my body is either normal or better. I feel amazing. I do supplement b12. Excuse the lengthy description, but I thought it was necessary for understanding what type of health issues had effected me. I would like to know what your opinion is on the omission of the grass-fed meats, organ meats, and omega rich fish. Do you feel they are necessary in the diet you chose and developed? Or, do you think that a vitamin and mineral rich plant=based diet is adequate for a healthy body? I am so impressed with the amazing progress you made. I would respect what you have to say about this. Thank you so much for your time, Laura Jones-Miller

Thank you. I think this takes Sarah Hallberg's Ted talk to the next level. I've been on a modified (or lax) paleo since my prediabetes diagnosis. I've brought down my A1C number. I still have a long way to go but I am committed to the right path. This talk gives me more perspective on how and why to increase my vegetable intake. This past fall I got farmer market box deliveries to my work and ate a large variety of things I had never eaten. It was a lot for one single person, but it was a good experience. I'm ready to take that and go to the next level. Thank you and I'm so glad you are doing better.

She has some similar methods (about nutrition) and additionally her personal training exersises (which I'm lazy to do every day but I'm cycling and do push ups when my conditions suits for it. And train more in forests near district to enhance stamina).
She describes some very similar diet as I remember. So this is almost that "proof" everybody asks here.
Now just google her name and you'll find books!

Many I have met with the disorder suffer similar to the Doctors symptoms. I really appreciate the doctors work and now know I must insist on quality supplements and to make sure I consume a larger color variety. Part of the signs of my disorder incidently is the retrognathic or crooked jaw and teeth of which the doctor speaks I will be sharing with my friends to make sure they are rounding all of the bases..

Dr. Wahls, I am grateful for this precious information. I can't join you for meat, fish and dairy, those are suicidal choices for me, but I see that I need to turn upside down what I thought was a nutritionally strong unprocessed diet with vegetable and fruit intakes way above the poisonous American standard diet. A heartfelt thank you.

Wow. That’s amazing if it all true. I say that because I thought MS usually comes on very, very slowly and get she seemed to have an extremely fast and aggressive type and then she snaps right back out of it. I do believe her. It’s just that it’s unbelievable. If I had MS I would definitely be trying this. My family and I need to start eating better as it is. I think we might be worse than that family pictured with the processed foods and pizza.

Thank you so much Dr Wahls for your presentation. My naturopathic MD recommended your site on Youtube. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. So since diving into this for the past 2 weeks, (not even taking 3 cups/day yet), has been so good for me. I don't even know how to act! :) I've been in awe and haven't been able to do simple errands, or living life. Now I can. It's been so long, with fibro and CFS, having to watch everyone else do the things I used to do. I'm sure that it won't take long before I can embrace the old me. Doing what I want, when I want without flare ups and the following exhaustion. Yes it's a change, but it's worth every part of it.

I always hear people saying that a healthy plant based diet costs more, but mine was much less without meat and junk food in the cart. It was really cheap in spring as I would wild forage miners lettuce, chickweed, dandelion, etc. and the store cost was under $40 per month where normally it would have been $20 per day.
I definitely felt better.

My sister-in-law died of MS, so I find that curing MS by diet alone is just amazing. Has anyone else been cured by diet alone? I was also wondering how she got enough thiamine, which is highest in beans and barley. Thiamine is the key to fuel for the body, and MS symptoms apparently greatly improve with high dose thiamine.

I have an AAA which became highly inflamed this year.
So I set out to try and cure it even with medical claims that it cannot be cured.
Feeling better after eating Black Molasses and then a Steak & Kidney pie, I started to investigate the Paleo diet and began to implement it.
I then started to eat more Broccoli and Brussell Sprouts and felt better.
It is more expensive, but what price health?

I find TEDx's flagging of this talk unconscionable at every level. This is a breath of fresh air from a health inspirational point of view and I find the implied discrediting of it because big pharma sponsors are put off by the idea that food might be our ultimate solution to our myriad of health disorders, that they might not be able to continue the sales of useless and expensive drugs infuriating! Well, it's a new day, we have social media and there are consequences to our action.

This woman is a genius. I had a MRT and they found some lesions. I was freaking out - and saw this video. I did what she said, after one year I was able to do another MRT and the lesion which may suggest i have MS got alot smaller!
And: it's not expensive if you start growing sprouts - once you have the glasses (in which they grow) and the seeds you can grow your sprouts yourself - they have a lot more vitamins, minerals and all the good stuff the full grown vegetable has. And you don't need to eat 3 plates a day, these sprouts have all the minerals, vitamins in it, you just need to eat a spoon of it per day - and you WILL FEEL a change!
And i eat al lot of fish (every second day). I noticed i can think much clearer, i was suddenly able to have my rhetorical skills back (i love talking with people, but i started to "fade away" when i wanted to answer).
I thank god for this Ted-Talk. This woman has changed my life. I lost 15 kg in the last year (i'm 1,8m and 60 kg - which is the perfect weight for me) and feel much much healthier. My depression is nearly gone. I have no more panic attacks. Please listen to her, do what she recommends! Especially if you're from the US - i know you have to pay for a doctors visit and you delay this to the point you can't anymore. It's a shame (us healthcare) - i'm from europe and here is everything free (and as good as in the us, or even better... the Saudi princes/princesses are always coming here for a doctors visit), must be even worse if you live there.
Believe me, she's right with EVERY WORD she says. Give it a try. Try sprouts!! They will change your life, i promise!

I did some research on the Paleo diet because it sounded SUPER tasty (I love a diet that pushes meat (plus //keeping// the fat on meat) and greens as the main course!), which led to stuff about grains being bad, and then led to this. After looking through numerous articles and finally watching this video, I am thoroughly convinced that grain does nothing but harm. So, I'm completely cutting out grain and SOME dairy products from my diet! Leaving me with all the really tasty stuff! No more sandwiches or cookies or cakes for me unless I want to randomly indulge (or maybe just for my b-day, idk)!
I'd like to thank mother earth for providing me with paleolithic instincts that's really saved me thus far! Otherwise, I'd be suffering right now without it, because my family seems to have a bit of a history of certain diseases (like diabetes and such) that's apparently caused by grain (what I've learned in my extensive research), and I didn't want to get in on that if it were possible (no one does!!!). Also, my immune system is great, I rarely get sick. My metabolism is working considerably well. In fact, I should be eating //more// because I'm underweight compared to my height!!! XD
Aaaand, after putting more grain in my diet than usual this past year, I've noticed a steady decline in just... happiness in general. I used to have more enthusiasm to DO things, like exercise and draw (I love to draw!). Ever since I started eating more bread and dairy, I just feel horrible now... Tired all the time. Mentally exhausted (social situations tire me out and I want to run to videogames or a computer to escape). Overall depressed and irritable (//especially// irritable). I suddenly started //hating// things for no reason! Plus, I've noticed that my heart palpitations have become... more frequent than usual... It's rather frightening... Dunno if its the grains or something else, or a combination, but hopefully a diet change and up in exercise will do the trick!!! -laughs nervously
As soon as I go back to MY diet (which happens to follow the Paleo diet), exclude grain, and I start feeling better, I'll be sure to leave another comment! If I don't feel better, weeeellll... I'd have to do more research, lol. :3

I find her talk very inspiring. She has solved her biggest challenge by being healthy and asks everyone else to follow her example. She presents her findings and shows her own experience as an example. Then she sites her research and gives scientific examples of hunter gatherer success for being disease free. I don't understand that she, as an actual doctor, with supportive evidence, should be discredited like this. She is not saying she has cured her disease but that she has found a way to diminish the symptoms without the use of drugs and lives a better life thanks to a healthy diet. She goes on to say that a more nutrient rich diet can prevent disease in the first place, with scientific evidence based on research. Her talk is relative to others in her category. It should not be flagged. After all thousands of other people have had same or similar results with eating a nutrient rich diet. Her approach to the topic is just an understanding on a cellular level. So its not like shes making this sh** up.

My mother’s diet made her mentally and physically ill. No one would listen to me when I said it was her diet. I always intuitively knew what the problem was. She had dementia and diabetes 2 when she passed away, following exposure to COVID.

Just watched this video again, and again, I appreciate the care and thought that went into Dr. Wahls' presentation. It's disturbing that TED is still posting "warnings" all over this video. Wahls is careful to say she is only describing her experiences and speculating about the relationship between diet and the control of diseases. Many people I know lost respect for TED after it went on the warpath against this video, and a few others (while allowing some videos that make blatantly ridiculous claims to go without warnings). TED, for example, has labeled discussions of the dangers of GMO foods (filled with toxic insecticides) as pseudo-science, and has posted statements on the "virtues" of Dean Ornish's dangerous vegan diets, based on the worst kind of pseudo-science.

I enjoyed this video very much. I am the "healthy eater" of the household. I like veggies of all types. My husband has gut issues and texture and taste issues so there are many healthy things I eat that he will not. I can't even hand him 1 carrot stick a month. He says it tastes terrible. I do however have to give him a break because raw fruits give him terrible gas and so I never try and push my fresh fruit salad on him. My 16 o is a challenge because he became vegetarian and he is underweight and sometimes skips meals. I also work FT and my husband does not work, yet he dislikes cooking. All around it makes for stress. My son takes half after me so he does eat some raw fruits and veggies I make. I may have to teach my husband how to make smoothies for him and my son so they get enough nutrients.

I am a 31 year survivor with a myeloproliferative neoplasm (both PV and MF), polymyalgia, and newly developed adrenal insufficiency. I have been very conscientious about my diet, and for many years have been taking most of what Dr Wahl is recommending. My problem is, that I am stuck on prednisone because as soon as I get the CRP down and reduce the prednisone dose, the polymyalgia recurrs. Several specialists have just completed a thorough series of tests to rule out a carcenoid tumour, all the organs look great, so now it is a matter of how to get off the prednisone. I have been reading the research papers, and came across a supplement called PQQ, which has been shown in small scale studies to reduce inflammation and positively affect the mitochondria. I am hoping this will be the key to getting off the prednisone. It has saved my life, but now it is in the process of killing me.
I am grateful that this talk was recommended to me, and I want to say that I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for the internet and my ability to do my own research. It was at my insistence that I started on interferon in 2000, which negated the need for a bone marrow transplant. We really do have to be our own advocates when it comes to diseases that don't fit inside the cookie cutter.
Science is great, but double blind studies still don't cover all the parameters that determine a drug's effectiveness.
From a grateful 75 year old survivor.

You should take this into the world of restaurants. It would be nice to find a place that already has a lot of these foods prepared and ready. It's hard to do all of these things and keep up with daily life of a USA citizen. I like finding new diets and stuff to eat, I just don't have a lot of time to commit to it so I end up eating at other places. I really like Subway, but mcds and all of those don't have anything good for us in their menu. So what would you recommend for me?

An important point to know about RDA, setup by the USDA many years ago, is that it's not even an adequate for optimal health and as genetic research progressed and studies on the perfect balance of nutrients are done we found that the required levels are much higher in most categories. RDA is a not a good standard to compare for good health.

I agree with iodine being important, but not from seaweed. Seaweed is likely toxic, like wild fish. The waters are toxic and getting worse. I recommend Kelp extract to limit toxins, as well as to make it more convenient to get enough.
AS WELL Iodine is essential for thyriodhormones and important for detoxing fluoride from the pineal gland. Many-many people have hypothyroidism, because they don;t get enough iodine.

While I admire Dr. Wahls research, I am critical of her estimate to exclude eggs from her research and diet. I’ve asked this same basic question on dozens of interviews: “You do distinguish between eggs raised in a factory (little sunlight, eating fabricated meal, etc) from farm raised (in pasture, space to roam, not given antibiotics, etc.) correct? Eggs have sustained me on three continents. Hope to one day get a response. Maybe today is the day. 😉

Dr. Wahls should be taken seriously. My wife has Huntington's Disease and we clearly must try this. She is losing the ability to walk safely and although gene silencing therapies exist they are unavailable due to bureaucratic barriers. Her care facility is not equipped to provide such a diet and, in any event, insurance doesn't cover this kind of diet and her illness has left us impoverished. I'll find some way to get her this diet.
Having said that Dr. Wahls doesn't address an important issue, probably because she is simply unaware of it: Civilization has been selecting for a different kind of diet for long enough that there are pronounced differences in dietary requirements between human populations. Even within Europeans, Mediterraneans are more tolerant of grain cultivars (starch) than are northern Europeans. This has the insidious effect of making the more civilized professions, such as medical science, biased toward the needs of those populations and neglecting the needs of those less adapted to agriculture. This is even more insidious as it is a group evolutionary strategy to engage in such neglect -- a kind of subtle, even unconscious, warfare.

I have eaten clean for 40 years. I recently was dx'd with MS. I immediately added zinc and iodine, and I immediately saw improvement. Now my docs are unsure if I actually have MS. I only eat one meal a day, so 9 cups of any food is way too much for me. I noticed that I already eat this way but with some starches. But not every day. My brain scan clearly showed Dawson's Fingers, but my lumbar puncture has indicted not MS. We will see how it goes.

Terry Wahls skeptic
and you'll come across many MS-related forums and reviews discussing her protocol in detail.
p.s. I just want to make sure that people do their own research before jumping on ANY unproven method and getting false hopes. Let's wait for clinical trial to be finished (2014-2016).

Wonderful talk and great insights. But I'd caution against over-consumption of kale and other cruciferous vegetables despite their nutritional density. Such vegetables have an anti-thyroid, anti-metabolic, and anti-mitochondrial effect that might be better postponed until after energy-production pathways are restored to healthful levels.

Come on TedX, you can't seriously be warning people about watching a talk which suggests that increasing the dietary intake of fresh plants and natural proteins is a better idea than something in a box from a factory. The more I think about the warnings on this video, the more frustrated/angry/despondent I get about how far the crooked finger of corporatism extends. In the interests of common sense - please remove the warnings. Honestly. Really?

This produces, as observed elsewhere, an inverse relation between cholesterol concentration and the risk of death from liver cancer or from other chronic liver disease. This result may also help to explain, at least in part, the inverse association between cholesterol concentration and liver disease observed in Western populations.

I am not a lover of "Paleo" but I am now a huge supporter of Dr Wahls and have bought her book; so I can help a friend ,my friend has MS, change their diet ( FYI I am going to be doing the cooking/prep so I will also eat exactly what I expect her to eat and have explained exactly what I am trying to do and she it very eager to start...I am not some monster control freak ).The fact Dr Wahls suggestions have been labeled as "Paleo" is in my opinion an uncomfortable inconvenience.
My friend who has MS and frankly is not getting much positive or helpful support so I am researching it.Why doesnt she research it herself?...she probably will in time but right now she is not in a good place and has not been for some time.By the time she is in a right place, this way, we will have tried a lot of stuff and eliminated those that do not work and found some that do.Frankly I am hoping the diet and changes in lifestyle will break the trend and shift her into the "Right Place"
For the record I am not just using Dr Wahls book as a reference but also using a couple other solid references.They may not agree with Dr Wahls on certain details ( research in MS seems to be moving faster now) but basically they are all on the same page.
In short what Dr Wahls suggests makes sense and is backed up by others who are also respectable authorities.
My friend is has been doing very little of the recommended things ,lol none ...so far!, and her "professional support" has suggested almost none of them and even then only in vague and misleading terms.
Doing what you always have done and expecting different result is insanity.
My friend, and I, clearly need to change but until recently could find no clear guidance as to what to do or how.
Dr Wahls and a few others has given us that in detail.

Wondering since kale appears to be both green leafy vege and cabbage family, would that mean you only need 6 cups (3 cups of kale + 3 cups of color vege or fruits) a day since 3 cups of kale would cover 2 categories? Compared to say 3 cups of spinach + 3 cups of broccoli.

FruitGoblin,
IIRC the protocol of the China Study was to "examine the relationship" (read: correlational experimental design) between the "western" diet and and the "eastern" diet. While this is a valid mode of reaching certain conclusions, there are certain problems with its structure, including the following:
1. Third variable problem;
and 2. Direction of causation.
I will address both of these respectively in the post following this.

I mean kale and cruciferous messes w my sibo/ibs yet those are my favorite. Kale had tons of pesticides unless organic. Some good info though just not all can eat all that. Rutabaga, berries. Arugula, zucchini and some squash and sweet potatoes agree w me more.
Trying to get down w organ meats but it isn’t appetizing , any idea how you get past that? Also seaweed messes wcmy gut( carrageenan ) I have kelp I keep meaning to take. Broccoli I blight only to be messed up after even that much. Willpower bad w following low fodmap diet, I need to but tweaked and more limited.
If not a messed up gut though yes to all those foods.I’m so over allopathic medicines. I’m glad you were able to reverse your health issues. I didn’t know seaweed repaired myelin shield. So glad you improved so much with help, so awesome. Thanks Canary in the coal mine;) 💚

Her diet is a good place for many people to start healing their bodies and minds. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox, and many many more) cause damage to mitochondria and these drugs are the most prescribed antibiotic in the US. I'm hoping that this diet will help me recover from fluoroquinolone toxicity. If you are ever prescribed an antibiotic, don't put that pill in your mouth or let them start an IV in you until you are aware of it's NOT SO RARE broad range of disabling effects.

14:39 in Wahls reveals that her poor posture was accelerating her demise without realising the significance of bucket seat posture in damaging our body. Then she changes her diet and takes steps, "giant gravity enabled steps " reporting walking at first with a cane, then without, followed by increasing distances on a cycle and finally long rides on horseback all of which correctly align our circulation with the direction of gravity.
Yes the diet change was a smart move but so were these important changes in lifestyle. +GRAVITY / inclined bed / upright posture = better health (ANTIGRAVITY SEAT / WHEELCHAIR = ACCELERATED DEMISE!)

We are what we eat. We all need to eat more veg, medium protein and lower carb (not no carb) for good health and eat less. So many conditions are improved by this from epilepsy to diabetes, never mind MS. Depression and dementia (the 3rd diabetes) also have a link to junk food and sugar.

To all the naysayers and skeptics, being skeptical is fine. But unless you've been in her position and tried the diet, you'll never know for yourself whether or not it would work for you. I wouldn't accept anything someone says as true until/unless I tried it for myself. As the old saying goes, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." All the theorizing in the world won't make a hill of beans worth of difference.

Hi everyone! Can anyone help me? In my country, it does not really use the ounce as unit of measure. (Except for the gold.) We use grams. I recalculated the recommended quantities into grams. For example, case of organ meats the recommended amount is 12 ounces/week. (In the Wahls Paleo and Wahls Paleo Plus) This is equivalent to 360 grams/week. It seems to me a small amount. It's only about a plate of organ meat. I'm not sure that I counted well. In the light of the importance of organ meats which contain nutrients include for example the coenzyme. And case of other meats , the recommended quantities are 9-21 ounces/day (Wahls Paleo) It is 270-630 grams/day. Sure to be well counted?

I know that this is a step in the right direction. I also know that there are 2 plant sources for omega 3 fatty acids, there are English walnuts and flax seed. The flax seed has to be ground in order to get the nutrients from it. Eating the whole seed will just go through you with no nutritious benefit. I believe it is best to get your nutrients from plant based diet if possible. Then if you are going to consume meat, the the animals should be Biblically clean and organic if possible. It is a simple principle, give the body the best you can and it will take care of you.

Looking @ ur channel u r approaching this from a body building perspective so perhaps u think u must load the protein? I am using this to better my health. Paleo is not a "protein diet". If you are worried about protein on your kidneys I was too, but I have increased my magnesium intake. As for protein & colon cancer. The high amount of fibre from fresh fruit & veg protects you. PH? Fruit/Veg helps again. I eat closer to 60% veg & fruit.

It is a damn shame that TED won't get off its high horse and actually act on its belief about the power of ideas, which is supposedly the core value of the whole TED enterprise. Its so-called curators need to visit the Institute for Functional Medicine, or how about the Center for Functional Medicine that is now lodged at that most disreputable outpost of quacks and snake-oil salesmen, the Cleveland Clinic. This video dates to 2011. Everything has changed since then, Curators of TED. Remove this offensive "warning."

for a while now i've been pushing the masai diet. the masai are a kenyan tribe that only live on food from cattle, milk, beef, and blood. I can't get blood here in the states, so it's only milk and beef for me. The masai have an important saying, "If a man eats meat and drinks milk on the same day, he is a glutton." Hence each day I have to choose whether it shall be a milk day or a beef day. I myself always choose milk, so essentially i've been living on fluid milk products for the last six years. It has been fantastic for my health, I'm six feet, one inch, the last time I weighed I was 154 pounds, I do superbly on my annual physical. I think it's good for mental health as well because milk tastes so good and it's good to know when you drink it you're doing something healthy for yourself. I'm pushing doctors to test the fluid-milk-products diet to see if it might help with various diseases, including biggies like cancer and AIDS.

Fish get their O3 essential fats from an algae-based food chain. We can stop the stripping of the oceans by buying O3s grown in algae labs, or eating freshly ground flaxseeds. I get both, capsules or seeds, at Walmart. Isn't this more sensible?

this changing of the diet requires a massive upheaval of an entire life style. To go out now and change ones diet will only last so long. putting more veges in the trolley at the supermarket is one thing, eating them and their horribly bland flavor is going to bring you back harder to savory meats and snacks. me, personally am going to buy some vitamins and eat them with my breakfast cereal. hopefully something better will happen at lunch.

First, it isn't clear which of the early hominids of the fossil record were ancestral to us or even if many of them are different species. Secondly even if they were all separate species and not ancestral to us they are still very closely related and lived in much the say way we did in our early existence. And thirdly most are pretty well accepted as being 'human' in academia as far as they find the question meaningful, based on things like social structure, internment of the dead, etc.

ol. Is low cholesterol a cause or consequence of cancer? That's another matter, but liver cancer has been linked with liver cancer elsewhere:
We have now shown that prolonged infection with hepatitis B virus is an additional factor contributing to the inverse relation between cholesterol concentration and liver cancer. Chronic hepatitis B, which usually starts in early childhood in China, leads not only to liver disease but also to a lower blood concentration of cholesterol in adulthood. (cont.)

It is how our eating habit should be...supplying the needs for our body. The root cause of diseases is contamination/imbalance of blood, the root cause for blood contamination is food/environment/pollution. What you take inside becomes your blood elements. The more contaminated/imbalanced blood the more problem in your body and mind as well....things I learned from The art of self healing in India...
I had severe frequent body inflammation and pain for no reason. Took pain killers and anti-inflammation tablets, but no result for years. Just adding sliced Ginger(honey dipped), Garlic, and NO vegetable oil in my regular diet helped me reduce my inflammation ...which in severe case could become MS. Now I mostly take Veg diet, Soya chunks, occasional meat, fruits, few healthy spices, greens, coconut oil, and fasting once a month. Snacks I eat home made pop corns , no Sugar added drinks / energy drinks etc. Sugar is the biggest cause for flaring up inflammation, take honey and pure cane sugar instead...relax more often. Body need inflammation to fight viruses, healing wounds, etc...but uncontrolled inflammation can become obesity, MS, Diabetic, or cancer

Back in the 60s my father contracted MS, we was what would be by a monetary standard regarded as poor, yet my father worked as a market porter in the famous Convert Garden fruit and vegetable market in London and there was never a shortage of fresh fruit and veg on our dining table, also consider back in the 60s a lot less chemical intervention in food, yet still MS killed him. Much as I would love to believe that a Palio lifestyle is the answer to this awful disease I'm not convinced, it's obvious that a healthy diet will do nothing but good I don't think diet alone is a solution.

Can't help thinking that our otherwise interesting, progressive and colourful species (which overall i love and admire), are not only causing self-inflicted problems on a larger social, cultural and global scale, but we are in fact the main contributors to our own individual daily physical and mental suffering. Couldn't it actually be that a general increase in awareness, (based on making rational decisions relying both on evidence-based science and the vast knowledge we already have with in behind all the noise of modern days multiple appearence management paradigms) would equal an inversely proportional decline in physical and mental problems(I realise that it would be impossible to quantify something as intangible as awareness and physical/mental suffering)?
In this presentation, the topic is about our daily food intake which, of course, is essential to all the chemical processes in our organism and therefor a key factor in the state of being, both mentally and physically. But lately I seem to come across so much information about so many aspects of the human and human-race, and to me it seems that the über-key factor in reducing suffering is not all the goodhearted initiatives we engage in on a broader basis. They are a present necessity (which we of course have to carry on engaging in and actually intensify a whole lot) caused by a society model which, to a greater extent is built on individual materialistic values and goals and to a lesser extent on collective awareness and solidarity. It seems to me that fundamental evolution of the human race has a lot more to do with individual evolution than trying to control a collective evolution. An individual evolution ( large numbers and over a certain period of time which probably counts hundreds or even thousands of years) will automatically lead to a greater, over-all quality of life for the entire biological life-sphere.
I am just a layman who couldn't even finish a university degree and hence have no answers, methods and least of all any scientifically based- models, -results or insights on whether or not my thoughts/ intuition has any real possibilities. How ever, I have recently begun to exercise a little more awareness in everyday life and the results have so far indeed been positive and very life affirming.

That she fails to credit Roy Swank, M.D. is almost reprehensible. To my mind there can be no way a physician researching MS and diet/nutrition would fail to encounter Swank's work. Why the apparent disacknowlegment? Maybe it's found in the grandiosity of her proclaimation, "I am the canary in the coal mine". Before you "like" this video I challenge you to look up Swank. See what he did IN THE 1950's! See for yourself then ask yourself 1. Why wasn't he credited & 2. Why wasn't it mentioned that he cured MS solely with plants. For those suffering from MS you must read Swank and those who follow him before you invite into your life the toxic effects of fish and organ meat. Swank did it first and he did it without meat and fish.

I think they take exception when she starts getting all political on it. It's about where she lost me as well. If she would have left imagining about the community and country out of it, then she wouldn't have knocked herself down to pseudo-science level. In other words, I totally respect the words and ideas contained within, but at the same time, I don't appreciate her straying from the scientific point of view and going into personal conjecture. That's not science (and goes borderline crackpot so it actually LOSES the translation of her important message).
On a side note, in addition to the fish oil and multivitamin I normally take, I embarked on a personal quest to attempt to eat healthier several months ago (even though I'm not overweight and I have a metabolism that is much more active than most people my age). I did this by cutting way back on soda (which I can barely even touch anymore, my body doesn't want it), subbing in drinking green tea, cutting back on candy and sweets, subbing in nuts and dried fruits for snacks, eating fish or shrimp at least once a week, subbing honey for processed sugar anywhere I could, and eating grains and vegetables for breakfast (radishes being my favorite breakfast food). I have noticed that not only has my stamina improved, but my overall mood always seems to be good now. In addition, I can also think faster and concentrate better than I did before. Needless to say, I will NOT be returning to my old eating habits, as I rather enjoy my new ones profusely. So, I am a firm believer that diet can help, although I will say that different bodies respond in different ways when it comes to diet. The principle is the same though, if you want a healthier body, you must eat things that are healthy for you and forego the things that are not healthy for you.

as a doctor of modern medicines, i am EXTREMELY disturbed by the dangers of the diet this lady is promoting: firstly, there isn't nearly enough coca-cola being recommended. all good doctors know the average human must consume 6-8 cans of coca-cola PER HOUR to remain healthy; second, where are the macdonaldses in her regimen? she needs more–YOU need more!! Third, all doctor friends of mine who practice the leading medicines of the world are agreed we don't trust anyone whose blood is not at least 23% benzodiazepine and statins; for a modern diet to be healthy in its proper medicines, it must contain AT LEAST 6 PRESCRIBED PHARMACEUTICALS. So, to recap: 1. drink enough coke each day to fill a bath; 2. try to work in more macdonaldses into your weekly eatings; 3. be drugs. thank you. this message is endorsed by the government of the united states of america

Our natural source of calories are primarily fruits. Therefore, eat fruits and add some veggies, or read 80/10/10 if you're not convinced. I hadn't any diseases, but still this diet changed my life radically to the better.

is anyone else here fatigued by the latest nutritional cure to end all cures? if it's not paleo, it's raw, and if it's not raw, it's vegan, or atkins. yes, what you eat is very important for your health. thank you for the reiteration of an exhausted theme. but i reject the idea that one specific diet is out to cure MS, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, blood pressure, obesity, or whatever other hot-topic illness people are desperately hoping to cure. what seems clear to me amongst all the utter BS of nutritional science is that humans can eat a great variety of food, and what we need are specific micro- (vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals) and macro-nutrients (protein, fats, carbohydrates), NOT the specific packages in which they come, e.g., "grass fed animals" or "kale". you need what those packages have, not the packages.
this talk is also a great example of a doctor using her authority to assert an idea without explaining the mechanisms by which the alleged cure functions. for a great counterpoint, watch the TED talk by Christina Warriner on debunking the paleo diet if you, like me, are tired of hearing people espouse their specific, regimented diet as the cure for complex illness.
and don't even get me started on her methodology of simply ramping up the dose for a mouse for her body size. what an erroneous extrapolation!

As for my numbers concerning fasting glucose etc. I've never found such testing necessary but tested on rare occasions out of curiosity (I have a close relative who is type II diabetic) I've never been below 70 preprandial and never been above 140 postprandial. My HbA1c readings are sub 5%.

Hmmm...this all seems like very useful advice, good information, and I'm sure it is. However, if we are eating crap that is making our brains shrink, etc...then why has the average lifespan increased? Why do people live longer, healthier lives in the modern world? I suppose it's through clean water and medical technology. The people 10,000+ years ago lived dangerous, short lives...but they did get a lot of exercise. I doubt anyone wants to actually go full caveman with this stuff. Besides, Big Macs are fucking delicious!

… A prospective observational study in a Chinese population … found a significant inverse association between blood concentration of cholesterol and subsequent mortality from non-malignant liver disease or from liver cancer. More recently significant excess risk of death from liver cancer and chronic liver disease has been reported among North Americans with a low blood cholesterol concentration. (cont.)

I agree with most things, but what I don't get is where can that woman in the frozen icy landscape find all those leaves, grass-fed meats, kales, cabbages, broccolis, turnips, onions, peppers, berries and vegetables of so many colours. I can't think of any part of the world where so many things grow naturally so that ancient peoples could have such a super-varied diet. If they could be healthy, maybe it can be done with less "colours".

Early hominids have been cooking meat for at least 1.5Ma. The evidence is in bones with butchery marks on them and that have an amino acid profile consistent with being cooked, and inconsistent with them being subjected to a natural fire. Additionally, it is unclear exactly when we became "human".

Eat more greens, a very simple message taught to us since we are children.
Eat greens people!
Aslo, meat from gras fed animals are much higher in omega 3 then meat from animals on concentrated foods. Healthy meats come from healthy animals.
We are what we eat, animals are what they eat, so we are what we eat eats.
Animals jacked on antibiotics, are probably not healthy, so we in turn probably wont be healthy either by eating them.

Ornish claimed a 3% reduction in plaques despite the majority of cardiologists pointing out that that kind of change can't be measured with current technology, FIFTEEN YEARS LATER! he ignored the history of smoking in his control group, he ignored the use of lipid lowering drugs in various of his subjects, etc. etc. etc. What Ornish's calls a "landmark paper" wouldn't even be accepted for publication by any reputable journal today.

Regardless of anything, to eat healthy you gotta be wealthy! A lot of people are forced to make poor nutrition choices because of their financial situation. Not every family in the US or the world can afford to eat organic every day, all those fruits and vegetables. Grass-fed beef is super expensive. So, people gotta eat, so people buy what they can afford and still pay rent.

This is comical. A professional physician has to come on stage and show the world that she's got the best of her MS by just eating sensibly. I'm surprised she didn't directly slam the medical system as so many other doctors have - I guess it was implied.
The statement "You are what you eat" is as literal as it can possibly get, and hordes of people still don't seem to either get it, or care. What you eat, turns into you, and so you better make sure what you're turning yourself into is the kind of stuff you wanna be!

I know you can be healthiest as a whole foods vegan though. I do no agree with her showing fish and meat is ok to eat as it has many negative effects such as mercury, added cholesterol we don't need, and other proteins that are not recognized but rather attacked by our own cells in the body unlike plant sources of protein. Many people seem to still not know that there are plant sources which have more protein per calories than beef does, such as broccoli and kale too I believe. Pea protein and other legumes are great sources as well. I'm working towards the 80/10/10 diet, yet have cooked food for one to two of my meals a day. Check out the book on it and others who are knowledgeable in nutrition such as Dr. Michael Gregor and Dr. John McDougall.

That depends upon the acre. Cattle farming can be sustained on more readily available land that won't grow the kind of crops that can maintain proper human nutrition. What we need are a combination of strategies not a vilification of a single behavior. We need land management, education, research and technology. We also need population control. If we don't achieve that, it won't matter what we do. The planet can't support more than 10 billion people with current technology.

Colinearity between red meat intake and other dietary factors (e.g. Western lifestyle, high intake of refined sugars and alcohol, low intake of fruits, vegetables and fibre) and behavioural factors (e.g. low physical activity, high smoking prevalence, high body mass index) limit the ability to analytically isolate the... effects of red meat consumption... the currently available epidemiologic evidence is not sufficient to support an independent positive association between red meat consumption

The inherent classism of this TedX talk illustrates the disconnect between the medical community and the general population of America. Imagine living in a food desert with no land to grow food on working five minimum wage jobs that are all quarter time. Understand that food waste is not something the working poor have the luxury of. Most of us don't even have health coverage so we can't save money from seeing a doctor. We can't afford to put our elderly in nursing homes.
While this may be a great diet for recovery from MS, the price tag is high and unattainable for many.

This is fascinating. However, that 'choice' that is advocated is not possible for many. Not everyone can afford this diet. It becomes a battle between capitalism and human health, food manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies (tied in their parasitic relationship with conventional medicine) and human health. There is money in sickness. It costs money to use Functional Medicine. I can envisage a polarisation of human health which comes down to money. Endless kale and grass fed organic meats for the rich and endless pizzas and burgers for those struggling on a low income. The issue is inequality.

Let's try it again. Dean Ornish is known for simply discarding data that undermines his conclusions as is his writing partner, Esselstyn. This is documented. Campbell is known for resorting to intermediate causes and relationships when he can't find a direct relationship he likes. Also documented. A "plant based" diet is not the same as a "vegan" or "vegetarian" diet. I eat a "plant based" diet. I also eat meat and my health is excellent at the age of 52.

My premise is twofold, simple and supportable. The available data from the "China Study" doesn't warrant the conclusion that the complete avoidance of meat is necessary for a healthy diet. It demonstrates no direct correlation between the consumption of meat and disease, only indirect correlations that significantly involve other factors. The work of Dean Ornish does nothing to support such a contention either and has not been demonstrated repeatable. These are just facts.

Many posters here and one troll in particular (the one who poses naked with a banana) need to show a little understanding towards the sick who come here looking for relief from a chronic disease ... Dr. Wahl's protocol is a therapeutic diet that is working for many and this is not the place to scaremonger patients away from a protocol that might be effective for them just because you choose to not eat meat. Would you also go into a cancer ward and start ranting there too? Would that be kind? Would that be showing compassion?

We can sit here and cite research until the cows come home, but the simple fact of the matter is that when it comes to meat there is great disparity in the scientific community regarding what is healthful and is not healthful. Until we are more informed, I ask you to educate yourself on the nature of research, correlation and causality, and the limitations of certain experimental designs. It is better for everyone that you stop encouraging radical dietary habits that do not have a factual basis.

Seems that more then 60% is fruit/Veg in her version...

Google ms and marijuana. Some people say it helps, other studies say it halts progression. I'm not trying to peddle false hope, trying communicate information that you might not be aware of. Be aware that "hydro" or whatever superweed they are selling now a days has a fuck load of THC but next to no CBD, so it is not as good for pain relief or anti spasmodic, it can cause psychotic episodes and paranoia. Maybe ditch weed has CBD? IDK. Some breeders are trying to bring CBD back :D

Great, that you changed your diet to the good!
I would recommend that you exclude meat and fish from the plan, too - Men did not have spears a hundret thousand years ago. Meat and fish is not healthy for the human body in many ways.
Just fruits and vegetables - like chimpanzees and a whole lot other species, which are not very different to ours.
Google "80/10/10", which is the name for this diet.
I'm on it since some weeks and it is really awesome :)

My GERD and IBS symptoms are gone. My fibromyalgia symptoms have lessened in many ways. Maybe you should keep an open mind and watch this presentation again. And try the recommendations, for at least 2 weeks, so you can update the readers your findings.

I have aggressive MS and it is not related to ones diet at all.
This woman is lucky she was misdiagnosed as progressive ( I say misdiagnosed because clearly she went into remission)
Before I was diagnosed I was a vegetarian, now a year later I am in a wheelchair and looking more closely at the science behind claims like this. I am still waiting for any real science to prove any of what she is saying to be correct. Im not saying diet isnt important, but not relevant to autoimmune diseases.
Also, humans today have a much more nutritionally diverse diet then they did during other points in history, and if the development of ms was related to the quality of ones diet the easiest way would be to find the link between how much money someone makes and their likelihood of developing diseases. It is well known in western countries the rich eat healthier because they can afford it.
If there was a link, a study could easily show that the aggression of, or chances of developing ms, are related to income

All you vegan fanatics, none of the tribes around the world were vegans. They were healthy and fine. Also, tell me how I am supposed to take on bodybuilding eating your kales and spinach only. I am not a panda, I don't have whole day to continously eat grass and bamboo. It matters not if you eat meat, it matters how it was raised. The lady in the video said everything you need to know. If you are not bodybuilder, then you need less calories and thus can indulge in vegetables, fruits, nuts only. For a person who needs 3k calories daily, it is unrealistic, unless I want to walk around my day with a sack of spinach on my back and eat all the time.

"Without a study"? No, what I've done is use the same study and demonstrate that the conclusions made from it are not warranted, given the evidence. Keep drawing conclusions from multiple and compound assumptions. It just demonstrates your inability to think for yourself and your need to parrot the nonsense of others that you don't even understand. I'll leave it up to others who read these posts to decide who's thinking rationally.

You've once again made multiple assumption without sufficient evidence and drawn multiple compound conclusions from them. You've refuted nothing and it's clear that you don't have any command of logic or the English language.

Critical thinking isn't your strong point but I won't blame that on protein deficiency.

You are not doing anyone a favor by moralistically promoting your dietary choices.

Removal of your own posts is very telling. You're portrayal of the evolution of the human race is highly flawed.

Have just viewed this shocking video. A Doctor promoting health. What is she thinking? Is this not against some oath or other. I am a disgustingly healthy 71 yr old, still run, take no medication and have been eating this way for years. If I can't kill it, pick it or dig it up I dont eat it. My mitochondria thank me.
