Dr Terry Wahls' Magic Mitochondrial Cure For Multiple Sclerosis

I always love to hear positive stories, especially ones where people have overcome adversity. So it is with great pleasure that I share with you the uplifting story of how a medical doctor cured herself of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by diet alone. That's right, Dr Terry Wahls cured herself of what was considered a terminal illness by using food as medicine.This is a remarkable story that gives hope to us all.


It was in 2003 when Terry was diagnosed with secondary progressive MS. It wasn't long before she was dependent on a tilt-reclining wheelchair. But not one to give up, Terry developed what is now the Wahls Protocol - the method she used to cure herself of MS. Terry can now walk again, she even rides her bike to work. And it is all through her 'intensive directed nutrition' method.


Terry is now taking her method out into the world. She is the lead scientist for testing clinical trails on her protocol on other sufferers of progressive MS. She is also using her method in her  primary care and brain injury clinics.


Watch Terry's story below and learn about:
  • What foods she ate daily to cure herself of MS
  • Why Omega 3 fatty acids are important.
  • What specific foods improve brain and eye health
  • Why we are deficient in Iodine
  • Why we need more sea vegetables in our diet

Why Free-Range Eggs Are Good For You


University of Alberta's press release on eggs:

Research by this university has lead to eggs being described "one of nature's perfect foods."  This flies in the face of previous research that has described eggs as bad for the heart because of their cholesterol content. 

But eggs also contain many beneficial nutrients like vitamins D and E, and  folate, choline, and riboflavin from the B vitamins. Also are necessary minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron, and also  omega-3 fatty acids and  essential amino acids. 

The same researchers from Albert University, in a previous study, showed that there are digestive enzymes that convert egg proteins into peptides. These have the same effect as pharmaceutical ACE inhibitors, which work to lower high blood pressure. The researchers believe  those same peptides also have antioxidant properties.
