DR. TERRY WAHLS

LIVING WITH MS

  • In retrospect, her symptoms started during school

  • She now had sensory disturbances and weakness in one of her legs
    • She was taking drugs and seeing the best doctors in the nation
  • In 2004 she started experimenting using vitamins and supplements
  • She ended up finding that a good diet could really help her
  • In 2007, she had to be fully reclined and walk maybe 20 feet using walking sticks
  • In 2008, she was back bicycle riding and living a pretty normal life
  • Continues her Paleo diet and prescribes that diet to others to help with chronic autoimmune disorders
  • Paleo diet and vitamins/supplements saved her life
    • Paleo was likely the most important part
  • Added B vitamins, coenzyme Q, fish oil, etc.
    • They seemed to slightly slow her decline, but it was still going on
