Dr. Terry Wahls
I pulled out this paragraph from Tipping Points 41: Part I, The Paleo Diet.
I wanted to highlight how Dr. Terry Wahls has used the Paleo diet to stop the degenerative nature of her MS and to heal her body.
The video embedded in this paragraph is a “must see.” It’s about 19 minutes. Please take the time to watch it.
Dr. Terry Wahls, MINDING MY MITOCHONDRIA: HOW I OVERCAME SECONDARY PROGRESSIVE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) AND GOT OUT OF MY WHEELCHAIR, is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa’s Carver College of Medicine. In 2003 she was diagnosed with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) and soon became wheel-chair bound. When mainstream medicine could not slow her disease, she started to research how nutrition could help the mitochondria in her brain. Within eight months of starting a hunter-gatherer diet, she could walk again with a cane. Today, she rides her bike, rides horses, and lectures worldwide on what she has learned. Take a look at her short, informative lecture at a November 2011 TED (The Technology Entertainment and Design) conference, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLjgBLwH3Wc.
