Eat for health. Terry Wahls has adopted a new way for a healthy living. 💕 🎶 😍
THE WAHLS PROTOCOL.
Terry Wahls is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine in Iowa City, Iowa, U.S.A., where she is teaching internal medicine residents in their primary care clinics. She also do clinical research and have published over 60 peer-reviewed scientific abstracts, posters, and papers.
Here her story:
In addition to being a doctor, she is also a patient with a chronic, progressive disease. She was diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis in 2000, around the time she began working at the university.
By 2003 she had transitioned to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. She underwent chemotherapy in an attempt to slow the disease and began using a tilt-recline wheelchair because of weakness in her back muscles.
Because of her academic medical training, she knew that research in animal models of disease is often 20 or 30 years ahead of clinical practice. Hoping to find something to arrest her descent into becoming bedridden, she used PubMed.gov to search scientific articles about the latest multiple sclerosis research.
Night after night, she relearned biochemistry, cellular physiology, and neuroimmunology to understand the articles. Unfortunately, most of the studies were testing drugs that were years away from FDA approval.
Then it occurred to her to search for vitamins and supplements that helped any kind of progressive brain disorder. Slowly she created a list of nutrients important to brain health and began taking them as supplements. The steepness of her decline slowed, for which she was grateful, but she still was declining.
In the summer of 2007, she discovered Functional Medicine, an organization devoted to helping clinicians use the latest scientific discoveries to take better care of those with complex chronic diseases. As a result she developed a longer list of vitamins and supplements that were good for her brain.
Then she had an important epiphany. What if she redesigned her diet, so that she was getting those important brain nutrients not from supplements but from the foods she ate? She used what she had learned from the medical literature, Functional Medicine, and her knowledge of the Hunter-Gatherer diet—the most nutritious of any diet—to create her new food plan.
At that same time, she also learned about neuromuscular electrical stimulation and convinced her physical therapist to give her a test session. It hurt a lot, but she also felt euphoric when it was finished, likely because of the endorphins her body released in response to the electrical stimulation.
In December 2007, she began the Wahls Protocol™. The results stunned her physician, her family, and her: within a year, she was able to walk through the hospital without a cane and even complete an 18-mile bicycle tour.
Now she was in the beginning of a new life.
She hosts a Wahls Protocol Seminar every August where anyone can learn how to implement the Protocol with ease and success.
Many people have made remarkable improvements in how they feel from just reading Terry Wahls book, the Wahls Protocol. It explains how and why she developed this diet to reduce inflammation and to feed her cells properly to run the chemistry of life. Many of your first questions will be cleared up after reading the book. If you aren’t in a position to purchase, you can likely find one at your local library.
