" An integrative approach to healing chronic autoimmune conditions by a doctor, researcher, and sufferer of progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) whose TEDx talk is already a web sensation Like many physicians, Dr. Terry Wahls focused on treating her patients' ailments with drugs or surgical procedures-until she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2000. Within three years, her back and stomach muscles had weakened to the point where she needed a tilt-recline wheelchair. Conventional medical treatments were failing her, and she feared that she would be bedridden for the rest of her life. Dr. Wahls began studying the latest research on autoimmune disease and brain biology, and decided to get her vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids from the food she ate rather than pills and supplements. Dr. Wahl's adopted the nutrient-rich paleo diet, gradually refining and integrating it into a regimen of neuromuscular stimulation. First, she walked slowly, then steadily, and then she biked eighteen miles in a single day. In November 2011, Dr. Wahls shared her remarkable recovery in a TEDx talk that immediately went viral. Now, in The Wahls Protocol, she shares the details of the protocol that allowed her to reverse many of her symptoms, get back to her life, and embark on a new mission: to share the Wahls Protocol with others suffering from the ravages of multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune conditions"-- "An integrative approach to healing chronic autoimmune conditions by a doctor, researcher, and sufferer of progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) whose TEDx talk is already a web sensation"--… (mais)

I thought this was an interesting book that creates a compelling case for eating a certain way to deal with autoimmune diseases. It has 3 stages which I think makes this idea easier to follow and it is up to the reader if they want to progress to the more restrictive levels. ( )

Rating is for content of course, not because the writing is anything spectacular. ( )

nonfiction; health--chronic disease and autoimmune conditions / treatment & prevention through diet and lifestyle.
This is the book my autoimmune/Functional medicine doctor recommends (and even if it is over 4 years old, there is still a waitlist for it at my library, which shows that demand is holding steady). The author talks about her personal recovery, and the science behind the changes she recommends (including some background about mitochondria and how various cellular dysfunctions are a common theme among chronic diseases). She is a notable doctor in the medical field and I appreciate that she always looks for the science behind treatments and doesn't try to sell her patients on things she doesn't think are science-based. I like that there are less extreme/more extreme options (diet remains one of the hardest things to change about a person's lifestyle) and that there is the option of easing yourself into making the changes. Not everyone will have the determination to give up the foods they crave, but many people have stuck with the Wahls diet(s)--and have shown miraculous improvements for it. The tools to better health are in here; it's largely up to the patients to determine whether they will use them and how much they will benefit.

I have seen a dramatically positive change in my health since eliminating gluten, and so am now working towards increasing the nutrients and decreasing the processed foods (as soon as I finish re-testing for food sensitivities to eggs, nightshades, and dairy per my doctor's instructions).

(eventual) target goals -- these are adapted from Wahl's and not straight from the book:
* 9 cups veggies a day (for smaller people, can consume 3-5 in blended smoothies):
-3 cups leafy greens (for nutrients/natural vitamins)
-3 cups bright colors (for antioxidants)
-3 cups sulfur-rich (brassicas, onion family, mushrooms)
* 6-9 ounces of meat daily (my feeble attempts to try keto didn't go well, so I'm gonna stick with lean), preferably grass-fed and less processed.
* raw, soaked/sprouted, fermented foods (non-dairy), seaweed
* limit legumes (black beans, lentils) in favor of leafy and cruciferous veggies
* limit grains (non-gluten) and starchy potatoes (sweet potatoes ok) and
* severely limit sweets and processed foods (this one's the tough one). ( )

Good information. Horribly organized and hard to pull together. ( )

This is a well thought out book that, as the title says, uses diet and what the author calls Functional Medicine, to attack her progressive MS. She was motivated by the paleo diet movement and the Institute for Functional Medicine. That institute is based on the foundational principle that the current clinical model for treating disease, especially chronic disease, is obsolete.

I have a form of MS that my neurologist classifies as progressive relapsing. After ten years of care I have a lot of sympathy for the idea that a change in the way care is done could use some updating. I take a fair number of drugs. I have been through four different protocols for specifically addressing the MS. The progression of my MS has marched right along throughout all of them. I also take eleven other medications that address various symptoms that I have. All of them have been helpful in helping me maintain a better quality of life during the progression.

The effectiveness of all of them has seemed to have faded over time, though, as the various symptoms inexorably march on. I often wonder whether it is worth taking them.

I have also faithfully worked at many of the alternative therapies that Wahl talks about. For me the most effective ones have been yoga, exercise and meditation. My diet has also changed very dramatically. My calorie intake is much lower and I eat a lot of fruit. There are some meat based proteins and a lot fewer carbs. A lot more fiber.

After ten years I have found that the meditation has opened up a great gift for me: acceptance. In the history of this group we call human beings there is long, deep cultural support for that idea. It was a bit of surprise for me to discover that fact after living within a culture of great personal empowerment. There is a lot to be said for empowerment of the individual and I have lived most of my life being enriched in many senses of that word pursuing the individual goal setting and action based days that that model calls for.

I'm in a place now where I am at peace in accepting the trajectory that I am on. I say three cheers to Dr. Wahl for her rational, evidence based approach. I hope it continues to work for her and her Wahl warriors. And I hope that the clinical testing that she has correctly undertaken winds up supporting her hypothesis.

And I ask that as a society we leave room for both paths.

This is perhaps more than a book review. I hope that some folks out there find it helpful. ( )
