It might not have been this video in particular but it's exactly these principles that saved mine. This video has done so much though. This video gave me a clear understanding of all the things I need. As a matter of fact I tell people to watch this video all the time. This diet is good for a lot more than anything mentioned in this video. I mean all of that plus.
karma kush eating well won’t cause you to lose weight, in fact, it may help you gain lean muscle, strength, energy, etc. I’m not sure if you mean you have physical restrictions or your health situation, but personally I may have MS, definitely a neuromuscular issue- and I’ve unintentionally lost a ton of weight bc of it. I’m taking supplements & staying on top of my food intake, exercise, sleep & other things- it’s all relative & even improving in one of those helps immensely
@@noizW the best way to get over MS is to kill the parasites nematodes people that improved the most with Lyme disease and MS kill parasites. Ivermectin
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.
Originally the MS Society banned her from giving any talks at any of their meetings. Now they have given her a $1.5 million grant to pursue her work further through clinical trials and such.
This is true. I have seen her newer videos. She has much more detail. She also used an electircal maching to stimulate her muscles. (no not the usual ab-twitchers.) It was a therapist's machine and she bought her own to use twice a day at home. She's a warrior.
@@Hohohox Also pharmaceutical and food companies give a lot of money to these groups to push their drugs. You can see it in the funding like the national beef council to the American heart association
Watching this 11 years later, eating a mixed greens salad for lunch. Thought I was doing pretty well with a healthy diet. After a few minutes of this video, i am blown away by what she accomplished with 3cups of greens, 3 cups of sulfur veggies, berries and fresh lean meat. This video should be shown in High Schools across the country.
I have a close friend who developed MS 6 years ago. They told her was very aggressive and she would be in a wheelchair within 6 months. 6 years later she is still out of the wheelchair due to Dr Wahls Protocol!
I have reversed my Lupus, Sjogren's, dermatomyositis, ankylosing spondylitis, and endothelial dysfunction following the Wahls Paleo diet. Dr Wahls gave me my life back. I come back and listen to this TED talk from time to time because it fills me with gratitude and joy each time.
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.
Caroline - I was just reading through the responses to this video and came across yours. How are you doing? Has the diet helped? I have a good friend the has MS and unfortunately, she lives far away for me to try and help physically with her diet. All I can do is recommend books and suggest this diet, as I have. I would love more anecdotal evidence though. Not to mention how great it would be to hear that people are reversing symptoms and disease. Please let us know how you are doing :-) Thanks!
I feel passionately that this video can change and save the lives of people suffering from MS. Protect this video, share it with as many people as possible. Thank you so much Dr. Terry Wahls for sharing your story and giving hop to so many.
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.
Organic fruits and veggies and meat. Basic diet with focus on balance.. nothing special, but timing was very important. Three good meals a day, plus two snacks.
I was diagnosed with MS the beginning of this year. Hearing what she has to say gives me so much hope that was lost since then. I bought her book and can't wait to read it.
I wish you the very best. Please listen: try sprouts. You don't need to eat the grown vegetable, one spoon of sprouts has more vitamins and minerals than 1,5 kg grown vegetables. It helped me alot - i was also nearly diagnosed with MS. But luckily there were no other lesions... the one i had got much smaller. After one year i was able to do another MRT and the results were good (as i said, lesion got much smaller). All the best, i pray for you!
@@noizW hey, how do they diagnose you with MS and what were your symptoms?. I did multiple ct and then mris on my head and neck and they found nothing. I have been dizzy, get burning pain in my forehead and trouble focusing/thinking for the past year straight. I thought it could be from zinc induced copper deficiency or arsenic from too much unrinsed rice consumption. My blood tests revealed high arsenic. What were your symptoms and I didnt know lesions can reverse, very interesting.
R.I.P. Mom and she fought a tough fight with MS. I so wish this had been known then but now my mom is out of pain. I did speak about this to my family about the mitochondria, but was told I don't know what I am talking about....Thank you Lord!
Valerie, sadly it's tough to break through to individuals venerating Allopathic Medicine! We, a thousand Tradesmen exposed to Pulp Mill Emissions had De-mylenation! After a dozen Worker's had Tested the same, they canceled dozens of us that were Booked for Nerve Conduction Testing! The X-P duration was from 2002-04 during the New Build of a Recovery Boiler! There are over a hundred Widow's with not one collecting Survivor's Benefits for Occupational Disease! Being compensable Workplace Injuries we were cheaper... My mitochondria were so damaged my ATP Energy Cycle was damaged so Anaerobic Glycolosis took over, so Carbohydrate intake was converting to Lactic acid in an Oxygen deficient manner! I had appointments with 3 different Dieticians and not one was able to advise me to change my Diet!
I've lost two stone and my IBS is no more since following this healthier way of eating. Totally changed the way I think and feel about food not a diet just change in life style for me. I feel great 😁
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!!!

I have MS and this is inspiring ! I am gonna try and beat this 💪🤞thank you so much for telling us what foods will help to get the brain what it desperately needs to heal.
My Naturopath recommended this talk and it makes so much sense. I pray our daughter includes Dr Wahls’ advice in her treatment since she was diagnosed with MS in early December 2021. Keeping our mitochondria in tip top shape helps keep our telomeres as long as possible. Long telomeres are associated with better health. Thank you Dr Terry sow, soil, berry, bury mulch and munch, country Lorna
How is your daughter? Wad she able to try any of the Dr's advice? I admit it can be very difficult to implement. Prayers for you and her. 🙏 This community cares.
Dr. Terry Wahls is an absolute hero. She gives hope and inspiration to so many people. Both people suffering from MS…AND to everybody else.. So TED will loose a lot of respect in my regards if they choose to take this incredible talk down.
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 SUCH a great talk on how the nutritional benefits of plants can reverse symptoms of a debilitating illness like MS. Thank you Dr. Wahls for this inspiring talk.
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!
It's completlely different, as celiac disease is demonstrated to be caused by gluten specifically. Evidence for other immune diseases is flimsy if not non-existent.
make a green smoothie as a mid morning snack, and a green smoothie as dessert with Lunch or dinner and you've already got your 9 cups of veggies. And it doesn't have to cost more - grow your own veggies in a window box, or raised beds, or shop at a farmers market.You have the information now - If it's too much trouble, then you are simply addicted to your illness...
I have motor neuron disease that is progressing very slowly.the slow progreesion is because i eat organic vegetables and fruits.plenty of fish and supplemental vitamins which are also organic.i do use a power chair and a non-invasive ventilator which could have been invasive were i not eating healthfully.i still can swallow and speak also because of my beautiful dietary habits. This lecture only strengthened my determination to keep on keeping on.
shoshanna fachima , because of the Fukushima incident.....I would stay away from eating any fish, particularly from the Pacific Ocean, where the radiation count is growing. If you live in the United States, I would avoid eating any type of fruit or vegetable. The Cesium from Fukushima travels over this country in the form of rain and snow, and has been doing so, since 2011.
+lickfret have you verified that fish caught in the Pacific actually contain dangerous (or any) level of radioactivity? Similarly, have you verified that veggies/fruits in the US are dangerously radioactive? or are you just kidding?
Loved this super-important, relevent, and life changing video. I already eat healthier than most people. Now I will really eat even healthier. Dr. Terry Wahls is a super smart women who helps everyone who watches her talks.
She is one of my hero’s- my greatest teachers of how to take your health into your own hands with the power of food. YES to functional medicine and a food first approach. ⭐️ the good ole Ted talks days. ☺️
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!
While allopathic medicine is still waiting for it's studies and only offering drugs to cover symptoms, many are healing themselves through the power of nutrition and exercise. The amazing power of high nutrient plant foods is the key.
While scientific continues to produce actual science that leads to actual treatments against diseases, the uneducated alt-med crowd, severely struck by Dunning-Kruger Syndrome, willstill dogmatically believe that a specific diet will somehow magically cure a disease they don't even understand. At the same time, they're going to attempt to feel superior by accusing scientific medicine of only treating symptoms, even if they don't even know what the cause of the disease is and their sham treatment is nothing beyond placebo.
Amazing and eye opening talk. She said too many good things in two little a time to too many people. Choice is mine, yours and should be ours collectively. Salute to her will power and worthy plus honest public guidance.
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.
Farid brother, I also suffer from MS , am on wheelchair Brother can you tell me what did you use to be off the wheelchair. Please Brother this would be a very big help.
I was recently diagnosed with MS, i asked my drs about what i can do to be healthier, and i am Shocked that they never mentioned changing my diet. I see it all over online, but the dr never suggested that a food change could help. Im going to try this right away!
Wow..what a presentation highly practicle scientific life saving diet protocol ..it is a great inspiring talk by a doctor who reversed Multiple sclerosis auto immune disorder ...simply superb Dr Terry Wahl ..you are life savier for many people all over the globe ..thank you with lot of respect from Chennai India 🙏
Thank you ever so much! I've always known, deep deep down, that the food we eat makes a huge difference. I already did some of the things you mention and have felt more or less. Now, after 2 months of the wahls paleo, I feel better than I have in the 24 years since I was diagnosed.
I love this video! Absolutely incredible how hard the good people try to help the suffering and mostly in denial society and yet she is the one who gets the a disclaimer. Incredible.
This is a beautifully important example of the power of a whole food diet and functional medicine. I fully support all of the ideas in this video and think that Tedx should keep this video available for others to learn from.
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!
Bravo Dr Wahls, I have listened to almost every talk and interview you have given - I raise my glass ( or pure filtered water) to your long life. The world needs scientists like you as your reports are findings are taken more seriously.
Was diagnosed with MS six months ago. Not one medical professional or therapist mentioned this. Like Dr WAhls, I say thank you internet. The Wahls protocol kept coming up in the research I did for myself.
Beautiful talk, beautiful study, beautiful experience, beautiful practice, beautiful results, beautiful human being. Thank you for sharing and your strength and much much more
"Real foods contain all the secrets we don't yet understand" (page 35 in The Wahls Protocol by Terry Wahls, M.D.) I am reading The Wahls Protocol because our neighbour's daughter has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Such a fantastic and useful book. ❤️
Lastima q de este tipo de vídeos no haya tanta difusión, hay q poner en practica estos consejos q son la clave para la salud, gracias por informar de sus logros q dan fe de una generación saludable.
I agree, I was diagnosed with the incurable Autoimmune Disease Rheumatoid Arthritis, there was pain, swelling and stiffness, I never accepted that that would be my life. I took the prednisone for probably a year or S year and a half. The doctor asked me how often I took the prednisone, I told her once a day and I’m working on zero, that doctor became upset, telling me that I have Rheumatoid Arthritis that I should take the prednisone three to four times a day, that was two years ago, my last prescription was back in July of 2022, I stopped drinking Dr. Pepper and Coke. Rheumatoid Arthritis is nothing more than a condition that I gave myself, it’s gone.
@@curtiste3235how are you now? Also do yoga breathing exercises Kapalabhati (fast pase breathing) and anulom vilom (slow pace breathing). Yoga reduces lesion size
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!
Everyone’s lesions get smaller over time. As active inflammation stops, the lesions shrink up forming scars. That’s literally what sclerosis means. It’s anticipated from MRI to MRI over time. It’s a neutral finding. MRT is a very outmoded term associated with the 1980s and Eastern Europe.
Thank you for all this God sent knowledge. Your a God sent gift to humanity. I truly appreciate your lecture and will share this to all who care about their health. Blessings
that is their way to keep the marketing overlords happy and shield themselves from any human morons that have developed Stockholm Syndrome of the machine and attack them for people spreading truth.
Julie E.P. Pharmaceutical companies are only interested in making money and what makes more money, a product that works, or one that does not? When there is a natural product that can produce testable, repeatable, falsifiable results in an externally verifiable way they synthase it and make LOTS of money. Taxol or Paclitael is a cancer treatment that was developed from the anti cancer effects found in the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree. It was researched, synthesized, made into concentrated product for the treatment of cancer and is used widely today. If it can be proven to work in nature, pharmaceutical companies are all over it in a flash because that's how they make their money. So what does all this mean? Well you have just highlighted brilliantly that your a backward simpleton who is completely clueless on subjects to self profess to know everything about. Go an open a book for christ sake and learn something you backward simpleton. The reality you have constructed in your head differs wildly to the one we live in. For those of you not as demonstrably spastic as Julie EP here is some lite reading. dtp.nci.nih.gov/timeline/flash/success_stories/S2_taxol.htm Retards, they out number us but with education, reason and demonstrable fact hopefully we can fight them back.
Tohs G I can't be sure if you're joking or really really slow. Can you please name me a business that does not want you to buy their products? Saying the medical industry wants you to buy their products is like saying hookers are only interested in you for the money. OF COURSE they want to sell their products, and the products that sell BEST are the ones with a testable, repeatable, falsifiable track record of actually working. This means just as I pointed out with Taxol ,if its a 100% NATURAL product that has proven results in test trials they synthesize it, purify the active ingredients and make a CUNT LOAD of money. If a company sold bungee cords that did no work how long do you think they would stay in business you demonstrable thick cunt? Its deluded mongs like you that need to be culled from the population.
No discretion required - this is excellent and it is not just personal. This is a doctor who did the research and has published books on a method that works for fighting MS.
I have followed this diet. it is miraculously helpful. I have an undiagnosed condition that causes extreme fatigue and various kinds of inflammatory damage throughout my body. So inspiring!!!
Thank you so much Dr Wahls for your presentation. My naturopathic MD recommended your site on TH-cam. 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.
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.
@@safaarashad3579 I am thriving! I went back to school at the Nutritional Therapy Association and got to meet Dr. WAHLS. We hit it off and she offered me a job. I have worked for her for 5 years and now I am her health coach. I am living my best life!
@beth Schultz, I don’t have MS but have terrible brain inflammation due to Lyme and mold. I still eat goat dairy. Is this an issue? And what do you think about sprouts? Hard for me to consume so many veggies. Also don’t like red meat. Thank you so much!
First talk I have watched that matched the daily allowance of nutrients we need, with the matching sources in vegetables, fruit and berries, quality protein and iodine. Good Talk. And Thanks to Patrick Brentlinger for making summary of talk with time labels and list of items discussed.
When i watched this video in 2013 i was very ill. She saved my life. Because of Dr Terry Wahls i am alive today. I dont know why it has only a bit over 3 mil views when so many people are ill and this diet may save them. Its a shame..
Are you taking the co-factors as well? Vitamin K-2 and magnesium are to be taken with your 10,000 IU of vitamin D3. High quality krill oil is also essential, and there are other antioxidants that are proven to work. Dr. Coimbra in Brazil, cures multiple sclerosis using a protocol that includes all this, along with other lifestyle changes.
ugh i hate to see people saying theyre taking high doses of hormone D :( please do some further research to see if it is not in fact a magnesium deficency causing hormone d levels to be so low.
It's in the numbers; where there is a lot of sunshine there is much less MS. I know because I want to build an app, and I'm investigating the market, Terry knows about this. I do not have MS, my brother has but I take Blue Ice Royal and the Wahls Paleo of course.
If you need help, you can join my health group. For magnesium the dose is over 600 mg of a particular type. I think is magnesium glycinate. For K-2 is over 200 mg daily.
So glad I ran into this video because I didn’t have a clue as to what was happening to me im72 and I was becoming lethargic and not being able to do normal things I wasn’t in pain but I knew something was going wrong cause I had no energy and when I heard you speak my mouth fell open cause it described me too the tee I had never ever heard ofmitochondria had to be God that led me to this video and the most beautiful thing that she did is gave information on how to deal with it thank GOD thank you Dr. Terry Wahls!!!!!!!!
Inspirational that anyone, much less a doctor, would take think outside the box and figure out how to fix their health. Empowers others to take health on and put illness aside in the meantime.
Leading by example Dr Wahls is stunningly inspirational! Hers is not an individual story but her investigation into why how & what now is for all of us - the majority of whom are already suffering along the range of ailments described. Individuals no longer need to re-invent the wheel for overcoming modern disease, but to move towards the guidelines presented asap probably in a needs dependant timeline.
Thank you for posting this. My wife and I switched to this diet minus the milk and meat as soon as we found out she had MS(6wks ago). It is worth a try. Your story is inspiring. Keep telling it and don't stop no matter what. Going veg IS doable. Get everyone in your house to do it. Weve become addicted to horrible food and its time we got healthy again.
Thank you for this amazing talk❤ I've been diagnosed 3m ago and my doctor in Ukraine advised to read me Terry's book. So i'm on my way to finish the book and I've already on the way of changing life. Wish I could share this video with Ukrainian speaking people. So useful and so important, not just for MS
Dr. Wahl's message is simple, common sense. How disappointing to see the TED warning. What gross corporatism. If her talk doesn't comport with the supposed mission of TED, I don't what does. Take the label off -- for shame.
+Lisa Finkelstein ted sponsors-"shit shes supporting healthy eating, fuck fuck fuck fuck what are we going to do!!!" ted- "now don't worry, here lets slap a warning on so the Mcpeople don't eat healthy"
I love her story. I do not eat my fruits and vegetables, but I drink a large blender full daily. I have done this for 12 years, and I’m almost 50 years old, and I move like I’m 20. If I do not have my daily smoothie, I have a thirst that I cannot quench. God bless all of you in your struggles.
Thank you Dr. Wahl for this valuable and comprehensive information. I am a raw vegan and following a plan which is 80 percent of the same raw fruits and vegetables you displayed in your lecture. 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
I find it amazing that you have such a good control on your diet, with your previous problems it seems like you do know the need to maintain a wide variety of nutrients and that you take this completely serious, not like other vegetarians who assume not eating meat it's just the way to go, but forget to include a good source of protein in their diet, do you not include egg and dairy products in your diet because of a personal decision or because the also strain your liver? In any case sounds like you are doing pretty well, keep it up.
Hi Alonzo, I'm lactose intolerant I have chosen to omit the eggs...most of the research on eggs as a protein source show that the eggs are not beneficial enough to outweigh the negative effects on the liver and the risk of an an increased cholesterol count. Raw vegetables (a rainbow assortment with raw kale at the top) provide an adequate amount of protein. I do , as I said, supplement B 12. I work out and/or practice yoga daily and have no problems with a lack of stamina or muscle development and tone. I feel great. I also practice daily happiness! The secret to success!!! Do you have health concerns or are you just interested in improved health.
laura jones-miller I'm just a curious biologist with a few ovolacto-vegan friends. Thanks for the info! Now that you mention it, yolk's level of cholesterol are pretty high so i do understand your take on not consuming them, i'll try to practice daily happiness too! Nice tip!
You're welcome...it's a beautiful diet...also a lovely lifestyle...I wish more people would consider it...very planet friendly...producing more food for more people is a great goal...xo, Laura...grazing through Seal Beach! Have a great night...
laura jones-miller I'm so glad you've found the diet that works for you and brings so much wellness! I have chronic Lyme. Unfortunately I also have an impossible sensitivity to legumes, to soy (even fermented soy), chia, nuts, dairy, gluten and all sugar, especially fructose. I was unsuccessful with the 80-10-10 diet, it messed up my metabolism and my thyroid. I find high-omega-3 paleo diet to be most healing and nutritive for me. Every human being is different. It is really awesome that we have such a wealth of choices and information to help us be in our best possible health.
I paused the video when she said three cups, went to my kitchen and looked down into a four cup measurement. With desire for better health I thought, I can do one cup of some of this. Maybe two. Looked into my refrigerator and I see I've been buying good stuff and a lot goes to mold because ... ? because ? and then the picture of the family with their groceries appeared. There's the answer. The rest of my kitchen is filled with that stuff. I desire to do this diet. Simple! What a great picture story. I learn best by these pics. Great ted talk!
I can't believe that we're at the point now where there needs to be a disclaimer attached to this narrative. Geez. It's an inspiring and interesting story.

@@starsmith7708 I no longer have balancing issues and I sometimes forget I have a problem. From time to time I have a little bit of muscle weakness but I make up for that by being at the gym every day.

@@goofball111 Wow. You are a legend. Ive been looking for you. A Wahls Warrior. How are u? How is ur mental and physical and emotional health?Please share any insight you have learned.
This video saved my Life! I watched it when I thought I have MS. Now I have no symptom anymore. Bless you Dr Terry Wahls.
Wow!
It might not have been this video in particular but it's exactly these principles that saved mine. This video has done so much though. This video gave me a clear understanding of all the things I need. As a matter of fact I tell people to watch this video all the time. This diet is good for a lot more than anything mentioned in this video. I mean all of that plus.
is that true? how are you nowadays?
R@@NaturallyGifted77 Q we
👍🏻
Wonderful talk! I adopted her diet and lost 35 pounds without hunger, learned to cook, and improved a lot of my MS symptoms.
Sam Taylor I’m really looking into trying this but can’t afford to lose anymore weight at 100 pounds
karma kush eating well won’t cause you to lose weight, in fact, it may help you gain lean muscle, strength, energy, etc. I’m not sure if you mean you have physical restrictions or your health situation, but personally I may have MS, definitely a neuromuscular issue- and I’ve unintentionally lost a ton of weight bc of it. I’m taking supplements & staying on top of my food intake, exercise, sleep & other things- it’s all relative & even improving in one of those helps immensely
@ Sam Taylor
This is wonderful progress!
How are you doing today?
Please tell us how are you doing today? I might have MS too and i'm scared to death
@@noizW the best way to get over MS is to kill the parasites nematodes people that improved the most with Lyme disease and MS kill parasites. Ivermectin
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.
Originally the MS Society banned her from giving any talks at any of their meetings. Now they have given her a $1.5 million grant to pursue her work further through clinical trials and such.

Hmm. Interesting that they came around.
This is true. I have seen her newer videos. She has much more detail. She also used an electircal maching to stimulate her muscles. (no not the usual ab-twitchers.) It was a therapist's machine and she bought her own to use twice a day at home. She's a warrior.
Pissed me off . People are suffering and those with power cut off access to helpful information because they didn’t come up with it
@@Hohohox Also pharmaceutical and food companies give a lot of money to these groups to push their drugs. You can see it in the funding like the national beef council to the American heart association
Watching this 11 years later, eating a mixed greens salad for lunch. Thought I was doing pretty well with a healthy diet. After a few minutes of this video, i am blown away by what she accomplished with 3cups of greens, 3 cups of sulfur veggies, berries and fresh lean meat. This video should be shown in High Schools across the country.
Across the world!
I have a close friend who developed MS 6 years ago. They told her was very aggressive and she would be in a wheelchair within 6 months. 6 years later she is still out of the wheelchair due to Dr Wahls Protocol!
¿Cómo está ahora tu amigo?
How is he now?
Fantastic, how’s your friend now?
And 9 years later this talk is even more powerful!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have reversed my Lupus, Sjogren's, dermatomyositis, ankylosing spondylitis, and endothelial dysfunction following the Wahls Paleo diet. Dr Wahls gave me my life back. I come back and listen to this TED talk from time to time because it fills me with gratitude and joy each time.
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.
Caroline Kelly I have MS as well. How did the diet plan work for you?
Caroline - I was just reading through the responses to this video and came across yours. How are you doing? Has the diet helped? I have a good friend the has MS and unfortunately, she lives far away for me to try and help physically with her diet. All I can do is recommend books and suggest this diet, as I have. I would love more anecdotal evidence though. Not to mention how great it would be to hear that people are reversing symptoms and disease. Please let us know how you are doing :-) Thanks!
My fiancé has been on diet since February and has benefited tremendously. Not cured but no longer progressing and she feels good again.
@@1212films how's she now? I hope she fine
How are you doing now Caroline?
I feel passionately that this video can change and save the lives of people suffering from MS. Protect this video, share it with as many people as possible. Thank you so much Dr. Terry Wahls for sharing your story and giving hop to so many.
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.
wow well done you, that is love
Thank you for your comment.
What diet did you give her?
Organic fruits and veggies and meat. Basic diet with focus on balance.. nothing special, but timing was very important. Three good meals a day, plus two snacks.
@@sunshinesheila9 I have brain lesions. Will they go away with good diet? I'm just 29 😭
I was diagnosed with MS the beginning of this year. Hearing what she has to say gives me so much hope that was lost since then. I bought her book and can't wait to read it.
May god bless you。
I wish you the very best. Please listen: try sprouts. You don't need to eat the grown vegetable, one spoon of sprouts has more vitamins and minerals than 1,5 kg grown vegetables.
It helped me alot - i was also nearly diagnosed with MS. But luckily there were no other lesions... the one i had got much smaller. After one year i was able to do another MRT and the results were good (as i said, lesion got much smaller). All the best, i pray for you!
@@noizW hey, how do they diagnose you with MS and what were your symptoms?. I did multiple ct and then mris on my head and neck and they found nothing. I have been dizzy, get burning pain in my forehead and trouble focusing/thinking for the past year straight. I thought it could be from zinc induced copper deficiency or arsenic from too much unrinsed rice consumption. My blood tests revealed high arsenic. What were your symptoms and I didnt know lesions can reverse, very interesting.

R.I.P. Mom and she fought a tough fight with MS. I so wish this had been known then but now my mom is out of pain. I did speak about this to my family about the mitochondria, but was told I don't know what I am talking about....Thank you Lord!
Valerie, sadly it's tough to break through to individuals venerating Allopathic Medicine! We, a thousand Tradesmen exposed to Pulp Mill Emissions had De-mylenation! After a dozen Worker's had Tested the same, they canceled dozens of us that were Booked for Nerve Conduction Testing! The X-P duration was from 2002-04 during the New Build of a Recovery Boiler! There are over a hundred Widow's with not one collecting Survivor's Benefits for Occupational Disease!
Being compensable Workplace Injuries we were cheaper...
My mitochondria were so damaged my ATP Energy Cycle was damaged so Anaerobic Glycolosis took over, so Carbohydrate intake was converting to Lactic acid in an Oxygen deficient manner!
I had appointments with 3 different Dieticians and not one was able to advise me to change my Diet!
I've lost two stone and my IBS is no more since following this healthier way of eating. Totally changed the way I think and feel about food not a diet just change in life style for me. I feel great 😁
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!!!
Any update?
What is the book?
I was diagnosed 3 days ago....I pray her methods help.
How are you doing now?
Hope u r doing better these days. Prayers🙏

My Naturopath recommended this talk and it makes so much sense. I pray our daughter includes Dr Wahls’ advice in her treatment since she was diagnosed with MS in early December 2021. Keeping our mitochondria in tip top shape helps keep our telomeres as long as possible. Long telomeres are associated with better health. Thank you Dr Terry sow, soil, berry, bury mulch and munch, country Lorna
How is your daughter?
Wad she able to try any of the Dr's advice? I admit it can be very difficult to implement.
Prayers for you and her. 🙏 This community cares.
Dr. Terry Wahls is an absolute hero. She gives hope and inspiration to so many people. Both people suffering from MS…AND to everybody else..
So TED will loose a lot of respect in my regards if they choose to take this incredible talk down.
9 years on, and here it is.. still here! 😊
@@Elonmuskateer can brain lesions go away with diet?
I have few Gliotic lesions and this is causing me paralysis (basically slowed down movements)
@@MohammadAsif-tu2os i meant 9 years on with the video lol.
But so some research about this, the body is an amazing healer
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.
How are you doing now? I have it on my 20s
Very helpful comment.
Thank you! 💜
Couldn't agree more.
@@amith2rattlesnakedo you also take supplements ?
This is SUCH a great talk on how the nutritional benefits of plants can reverse symptoms of a debilitating illness like MS. Thank you Dr. Wahls for this inspiring talk.
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!
It's completlely different, as celiac disease is demonstrated to be caused by gluten specifically. Evidence for other immune diseases is flimsy if not non-existent.
Also celiac, among others. Also Gluten-free has been a very good decision. About ten years now.
I’m a medical student. I was diagnosed MS also. Thanks for your advices. I will apply each of them on my diet

great idea, thank you.
I buy frozen vegetables and berries and make smoothies . Is not really expensive.
Addicted to your illness, that's true

This lecture only strengthened my determination to keep on keeping on.
shoshanna fachima Have you been tested for Lyme Disease? Most MS, ALS, MND, Fibromyalgia etc are actually Lyme. Not using, just checking.
Cajun Spice i am happy to say that we don‘t have lyme disease here in israel.thank you so much for responding
shoshanna fachima , because of the Fukushima incident.....I would stay away from eating any fish, particularly from the Pacific Ocean, where the radiation count is growing. If you live in the United States, I would avoid eating any type of fruit or vegetable. The Cesium from Fukushima travels over this country in the form of rain and snow, and has been doing so, since 2011.
+shoshanna fachima Lyme disease is a worldwide epidemic.
+lickfret have you verified that fish caught in the Pacific actually contain dangerous (or any) level of radioactivity? Similarly, have you verified that veggies/fruits in the US are dangerously radioactive? or are you just kidding?
Diagnosed shortly after watching this video. Timely! This advice has sticked with me for all those years. Thank you.
Loved this super-important, relevent, and life changing video. I already eat healthier than most people. Now I will really eat even healthier. Dr. Terry Wahls is a super smart women who helps everyone who watches her talks.
This is vitally important information for everyone who cares about their health. Many thanks to Dr. Wahls.
Thanks for uploading this so many illnesses can be treated with alternative medicine and diet.
She is one of my hero’s- my greatest teachers of how to take your health into your own hands with the power of food. YES to functional medicine and a food first approach. ⭐️ the good ole Ted talks days. ☺️
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!

@@KatiTheButcher I also have myoclonic jerks. Are they due to brain lesions?
While allopathic medicine is still waiting for it's studies and only offering drugs to cover symptoms, many are healing themselves through the power of nutrition and exercise. The amazing power of high nutrient plant foods is the key.
Placebo effect...
Placebo effect, hahaha rofl ................. Wow, I will be happy with the placebo effect, thanks!
While scientific continues to produce actual science that leads to actual treatments against diseases, the uneducated alt-med crowd, severely struck by Dunning-Kruger Syndrome, willstill dogmatically believe that a specific diet will somehow magically cure a disease they don't even understand. At the same time, they're going to attempt to feel superior by accusing scientific medicine of only treating symptoms, even if they don't even know what the cause of the disease is and their sham treatment is nothing beyond placebo.
And the amazing power of fish and meat, including organ meat.
Terry wahls
Amazing and eye opening talk. She said too many good things in two little a time to too many people. Choice is mine, yours and should be ours collectively. Salute to her will power and worthy plus honest public guidance.
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.
could you kindly...sare wit me your diet plan....and kindly sare your email id....love from India...
Farid brother, I also suffer from MS , am on wheelchair
Brother can you tell me what did you use to be off the wheelchair.
Please Brother this would be a very big help.
Could we learn your diet please! 🙏🏼
I was recently diagnosed with MS, i asked my drs about what i can do to be healthier, and i am Shocked that they never mentioned changing my diet. I see it all over online, but the dr never suggested that a food change could help. Im going to try this right away!
And now?
¿Cómo te fue???
Thank you, Dr. Wahl. Eloquent and substantiated. As the old saying goes, "can't argue with success."
Wow..what a presentation highly practicle scientific life saving diet protocol ..it is a great inspiring talk by a doctor who reversed Multiple sclerosis auto immune disorder ...simply superb Dr Terry Wahl ..you are life savier for many people all over the globe ..thank you with lot of respect from Chennai India 🙏
Thank you ever so much! I've always known, deep deep down, that the food we eat makes a huge difference. I already did some of the things you mention and have felt more or less. Now, after 2 months of the wahls paleo, I feel better than I have in the 24 years since I was diagnosed.
How are you doing 6 years later?
I love this video! Absolutely incredible how hard the good people try to help the suffering and mostly in denial society and yet she is the one who gets the a disclaimer. Incredible.
Such a mind blowing talk. Simply love it. This needs more views for the value it delivers.
What a woman! I'm inspired
Screw your "guidelines" - Dr. Wahls speaks truth.
Loved the talk. It is so wonderful to see people taking back their power to heal themselves. Well done dr Terry, you will inspire so many people
This is a beautifully important example of the power of a whole food diet and functional medicine. I fully support all of the ideas in this video and think that Tedx should keep this video available for others to learn from.
Yes! So true.
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!
Please post updates periodically, I am sincerely interested in your progress with this Wahls protocol.
I have watched this several times. Dr Terry you are a shining light and so inspiring.
Bravo Dr Wahls, I have listened to almost every talk and interview you have given - I raise my glass ( or pure filtered water) to your long life. The world needs scientists like you as your reports are findings are taken more seriously.
Was diagnosed with MS six months ago. Not one medical professional or therapist mentioned this. Like Dr WAhls, I say thank you internet. The Wahls protocol kept coming up in the research I did for myself.
Beautiful talk, beautiful study, beautiful experience, beautiful practice, beautiful results, beautiful human being. Thank you for sharing and your strength and much much more

Its always impressive to see people who can beat diseases consider incurable or terminal, without using modern medicine
I agree, I was diagnosed with the incurable Autoimmune Disease Rheumatoid Arthritis, there was pain, swelling and stiffness, I never accepted that that would be my life. I took the prednisone for probably a year or S year and a half. The doctor asked me how often I took the prednisone, I told her once a day and I’m working on zero, that doctor became upset, telling me that I have Rheumatoid Arthritis that I should take the prednisone three to four times a day, that was two years ago, my last prescription was back in July of 2022, I stopped drinking Dr. Pepper and Coke. Rheumatoid Arthritis is nothing more than a condition that I gave myself, it’s gone.
Wow! Amazing.❤
I just saw that your comment was 8 yrs ago. How are you doing now?
(I'm at the beginning of my healing journey.)
@@curtiste3235how are you now?
Also do yoga breathing exercises
Kapalabhati (fast pase breathing) and anulom vilom (slow pace breathing). Yoga reduces lesion size
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

I learned that while playing Parasite Eve on the PS1.
Came here for this, not disappointed.
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!
Congratulations
Everyone’s lesions get smaller over time. As active inflammation stops, the lesions shrink up forming scars. That’s literally what sclerosis means. It’s anticipated from MRI to MRI over time. It’s a neutral finding. MRT is a very outmoded term associated with the 1980s and Eastern Europe.

Thank you for all this God sent knowledge. Your a God sent gift to humanity. I truly appreciate your lecture and will share this to all who care about their health. Blessings
I am so disappointed that this video has a negative tag on it. All she is talking about is good food. What is the reason for the negative tag?
Ted's multi-billionaire pharmaceutical sponsors are the reason for the negative flag.
that is their way to keep the marketing overlords happy and shield themselves from any human morons that have developed Stockholm Syndrome of the machine and attack them for people spreading truth.
Julie E.P.
Pharmaceutical companies are only interested in making money and what makes more money, a product that works, or one that does not?
When there is a natural product that can produce testable, repeatable, falsifiable results in an externally verifiable way they synthase it and make LOTS of money.
Taxol or Paclitael is a cancer treatment that was developed from the anti cancer effects found in the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree.
It was researched, synthesized, made into concentrated product for the treatment of cancer and is used widely today.
If it can be proven to work in nature, pharmaceutical companies are all over it in a flash because that's how they make their money.
So what does all this mean?
Well you have just highlighted brilliantly that your a backward simpleton who is completely clueless on subjects to self profess to know everything about.
Go an open a book for christ sake and learn something you backward simpleton.
The reality you have constructed in your head differs wildly to the one we live in.
For those of you not as demonstrably spastic as Julie EP here is some lite reading.
dtp.nci.nih.gov/timeline/flash/success_stories/S2_taxol.htm
Retards, they out number us but with education, reason and demonstrable fact hopefully we can fight them back.
Tohs G I can't be sure if you're joking or really really slow.
Can you please name me a business that does not want you to buy their products?
Saying the medical industry wants you to buy their products is like saying hookers are only interested in you for the money.
OF COURSE they want to sell their products, and the products that sell BEST are the ones with a testable, repeatable, falsifiable track record of actually working.
This means just as I pointed out with Taxol ,if its a 100% NATURAL product that has proven results in test trials they synthesize it, purify the active ingredients and make a CUNT LOAD of money.
If a company sold bungee cords that did no work how long do you think they would stay in business you demonstrable thick cunt?
Its deluded mongs like you that need to be culled from the population.
Fox G condescending attitude - You may want to look that up; you're in the wrong.
Who flagged this video as "outside TED's curatorial guidelines"? Was it Monsanto? Or Johnson&Johnson?
Damn sellouts....
No discretion required - this is excellent and it is not just personal. This is a doctor who did the research and has published books on a method that works for fighting MS.
You're such an inspiration! I was diagnosed in 2001! This year is my 20 year anniversary living with MS.
I have followed this diet. it is miraculously helpful. I have an undiagnosed condition that causes extreme fatigue and various kinds of inflammatory damage throughout my body. So inspiring!!!
Thank you so much Dr Wahls for your presentation. My naturopathic MD recommended your site on TH-cam. 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.
You can't argue success! Her words will ripple in inspiring me as I juice daily and eat huge salads. She's my kind of doctor!
Thank you Dr....I to has MS and have been asking what can I do for myself in this disease to help me get better, feel better.
Thanks once again.
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 video changed my life. Thank you Dr. Wahls. I am improving my MS with food!
How are you today
@@safaarashad3579 I am thriving! I went back to school at the Nutritional Therapy Association and got to meet Dr. WAHLS. We hit it off and she offered me a job. I have worked for her for 5 years and now I am her health coach. I am living my best life!
@beth Schultz, I don’t have MS but have terrible brain inflammation due to Lyme and mold. I still eat goat dairy. Is this an issue? And what do you think about sprouts? Hard for me to consume so many veggies. Also don’t like red meat. Thank you so much!
First talk I have watched that matched the daily allowance of nutrients we need, with the matching sources in vegetables, fruit and berries, quality protein and iodine. Good Talk. And Thanks to Patrick Brentlinger for making summary of talk with time labels and list of items discussed.
When i watched this video in 2013 i was very ill. She saved my life. Because of Dr Terry Wahls i am alive today. I dont know why it has only a bit over 3 mil views when so many people are ill and this diet may save them. Its a shame..
If you have MS or similar symptoms try taking a high dose of vitamin D3, about 10,000 IU daily. This has helped me so much within a matter of weeks.
Are you taking the co-factors as well? Vitamin K-2 and magnesium are to be taken with your 10,000 IU of vitamin D3. High quality krill oil is also essential, and there are other antioxidants that are proven to work. Dr. Coimbra in Brazil, cures multiple sclerosis using a protocol that includes all this, along with other lifestyle changes.
ugh i hate to see people saying theyre taking high doses of hormone D :( please do some further research to see if it is not in fact a magnesium deficency causing hormone d levels to be so low.
It's in the numbers; where there is a lot of sunshine there is much less MS. I know because I want to build an app, and I'm investigating the market, Terry knows about this. I do not have MS, my brother has but I take Blue Ice Royal and the Wahls Paleo of course.
Hey Ricardo how many milligrams of k2 and magnesium?
If you need help, you can join my health group. For magnesium the dose is over 600 mg of a particular type. I think is magnesium glycinate. For K-2 is over 200 mg daily.
This video helped change my life!! Thank you Dr. Terry Wahls for helping us sculpt a better world for ourselves!!
So glad I ran into this video because I didn’t have a clue as to what was happening to me im72 and I was becoming lethargic and not being able to do normal things I wasn’t in pain but I knew something was going wrong cause I had no energy and when I heard you speak my mouth fell open cause it described me too the tee I had never ever heard ofmitochondria had to be God that led me to this video and the most beautiful thing that she did is gave information on how to deal with it thank GOD thank you Dr. Terry Wahls!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Dr. Wahl ! Thank you for sharing your results and recommendations! ❤️
Inspirational that anyone, much less a doctor, would take think outside the box and figure out how to fix their health. Empowers others to take health on and put illness aside in the meantime.
Leading by example Dr Wahls is stunningly inspirational! Hers is not an individual story but her investigation into why how & what now is for all of us - the majority of whom are already suffering along the range of ailments described. Individuals no longer need to re-invent the wheel for overcoming modern disease, but to move towards the guidelines presented asap probably in a needs dependant timeline.
It may be outside of TEDx guidelines, but it's well, WELL in line with restorative science.
Such an inspirational talk! Dr. Wahls' story has to be one of the best examples of self-empowerment and the power of nourishment I've ever seen.
Dr. Wahl's makes a lot of sense. We need more thinkers like her.
Excellent talk, a clear example of how good nutrition can cure disease. I hope it continues to inspire people to achieve good health for themselves
Thank you for posting this. My wife and I switched to this diet minus the milk and meat as soon as we found out she had MS(6wks ago). It is worth a try. Your story is inspiring. Keep telling it and don't stop no matter what. Going veg IS doable. Get everyone in your house to do it. Weve become addicted to horrible food and its time we got healthy again.
Bjmanfredi how is your wife doing?
Thank you for sharing your story and wisdom. You are much, very much appreciated.
Oh please, don't take this talk down!!! This talk is amazing! It would be unfair!... :(
Dr. Wahls just received the High Impact Award at the JJ Mindshare event for this video.
thank you Dr Terry Wahls for your inspirational story and amazing work ....cheers
Best talk on TH-cam.
This is a confession by a qualified MD that her medical education was inadequate in the field of nutrition.
She saved her life and mine. So... I dont really care other things.
True and she rectified her own education.
Designed that way of course. They get 1 hour. In the entire 5 years training
@wendychadwick8091 they can't have us being healthy,now that would never do.
@@brainyway4003how are you doing now? Are you on paleo diet? I would love to know
Thank you for this amazing talk❤ I've been diagnosed 3m ago and my doctor in Ukraine advised to read me Terry's book. So i'm on my way to finish the book and I've already on the way of changing life. Wish I could share this video with Ukrainian speaking people. So useful and so important, not just for MS
Have you improved?
📻🤐so I’m guessing not
Я також з України. За пів року ноги перестали труситися і трошки збільшилася хода.
If you say so
Powerful! Thank you.
W8 what? Lol hi bignoknow 😆😅
Dr Wahls, THANK YOU SO MUCH
My friend was wheelchair bound and boind due to MS, fillowed Wahls protocol, she's walking, healthy and has full vision. This is amazing.
This is a wonderful, informative talk and it would be a shame of it were taken down.
Dr. Wahl's message is simple, common sense. How disappointing to see the TED warning. What gross corporatism.
If her talk doesn't comport with the supposed mission of TED, I don't what does.
Take the label off -- for shame.
+Lisa Finkelstein ted sponsors-"shit shes supporting healthy eating, fuck fuck fuck fuck what are we going to do!!!" ted- "now don't worry, here lets slap a warning on so the Mcpeople don't eat healthy"
Yes, TED is a product of the establishment. This sort of thing is to be expected. Money and politics.
K. Bittala ,
@@AES-256-CBC- could you go into more detail about your response please?
What was the warning? I don’t see one
I love her story. I do not eat my fruits and vegetables, but I drink a large blender full daily. I have done this for 12 years, and I’m almost 50 years old, and I move like I’m 20. If I do not have my daily smoothie, I have a thirst that I cannot quench. God bless all of you in your struggles.
Bütün MS hastalarının izlemesi ve Dr. Terry Wahls'u takibe almalarını öneririm. Bu güzel video için teşekkürler 🙏
Acaba uygulayabildiniz mi siz ve sonucu oldu mu??

Thank you Dr. Wahl for this valuable and comprehensive information. I am a raw vegan and following a plan which is 80 percent of the same raw fruits and vegetables you displayed in your lecture. 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
I find it amazing that you have such a good control on your diet, with your previous problems it seems like you do know the need to maintain a wide variety of nutrients and that you take this completely serious, not like other vegetarians who assume not eating meat it's just the way to go, but forget to include a good source of protein in their diet, do you not include egg and dairy products in your diet because of a personal decision or because the also strain your liver? In any case sounds like you are doing pretty well, keep it up.
Hi Alonzo, I'm lactose intolerant I have chosen to omit the eggs...most of the research on eggs as a protein source show that the eggs are not beneficial enough to outweigh the negative effects on the liver and the risk of an an increased cholesterol count. Raw vegetables (a rainbow assortment with raw kale at the top) provide an adequate amount of protein. I do , as I said, supplement B 12. I work out and/or practice yoga daily and have no problems with a lack of stamina or muscle development and tone. I feel great. I also practice daily happiness! The secret to success!!! Do you have health concerns or are you just interested in improved health.
laura jones-miller
I'm just a curious biologist with a few ovolacto-vegan friends. Thanks for the info! Now that you mention it, yolk's level of cholesterol are pretty high so i do understand your take on not consuming them, i'll try to practice daily happiness too! Nice tip!
You're welcome...it's a beautiful diet...also a lovely lifestyle...I wish more people would consider it...very planet friendly...producing more food for more people is a great goal...xo, Laura...grazing through Seal Beach! Have a great night...
laura jones-miller I'm so glad you've found the diet that works for you and brings so much wellness! I have chronic Lyme. Unfortunately I also have an impossible sensitivity to legumes, to soy (even fermented soy), chia, nuts, dairy, gluten and all sugar, especially fructose. I was unsuccessful with the 80-10-10 diet, it messed up my metabolism and my thyroid. I find high-omega-3 paleo diet to be most healing and nutritive for me. Every human being is different. It is really awesome that we have such a wealth of choices and information to help us be in our best possible health.
I paused the video when she said three cups, went to my kitchen and looked down into a four cup measurement. With desire for better health I thought, I can do one cup of some of this. Maybe two. Looked into my refrigerator and I see I've been buying good stuff and a lot goes to mold because ... ? because ? and then the picture of the family with their groceries appeared. There's the answer. The rest of my kitchen is filled with that stuff. I desire to do this diet. Simple! What a great picture story. I learn best by these pics. Great ted talk!
I can't believe that we're at the point now where there needs to be a disclaimer attached to this narrative. Geez. It's an inspiring and interesting story.
MS was making me blind in both eyes and I was only going down hill.
13 years later and my health has improved every year.
Seguiste esta dieta???

How's your mobility now?
@@starsmith7708 I no longer have balancing issues and I sometimes forget I have a problem. From time to time I have a little bit of muscle weakness but I make up for that by being at the gym every day. I work out with weights and if I’m hurting from working out too much with the weights and I swim in the pool so I basically working out every day no matter what
