The Wahls Protocol

i have MS and tgis book is has very useful tips on how to improve ur health. its not easy but working on improving it day by day

Good scientific research.

The book is well-written n if you follow the diet plan you'll be really very healthy. Auto-immune diseases will say bye-bye..But it depends if you follow the diet strictly, it's nice n fun...

Worth it

Although I haven't been diagnosed with any autoimmune condition but have been reading about them. Techniques provided in this book make a lot of sense and it's an easy read. I am planning to start with level 1 diet soon and hope never to get anything as nefarious as autoimmune condition.

Very clinical approach. Sure for success if followed.

Incredible way to heal and recover

Good

Usually I like to jump to the diet and just do it, never reading the book from front to back. Terry encourages you read everything. Being a health practitioner, I thought it would be things I know already, but I needed to check my knowledge aside and be the patient right now. I had a UTI 5 months ago that didn't clear up with antibiotics. I feel like I tried everything and even did some dietary changes and tons of supplements (which help, but not predictably). I figured if Terry Wahls could reverse her MS symptoms with this diet, then I should be able to do so with burning bladder pain and inflammation. They think I have Interstitial Cystitis or an embedded/chronic infection. The question is WHY do I have this. I had covid in the summer that took some recovery time. I think getting the UTI a month later was a triggering event to either not completely heal the infection or even create somewhat of an auto-immune response. I had been under a lot of stress (even positive, happy stress too) the last year and know that affected me as well. So I started the diet. I was already gluten and dairy free for many year, so I jumped in 100% to Level 2/Paleo and I began to notice improvements around 2 weeks. Terry says give it 100 days, so I decided that I would continue no matter what for 100 days before making a decision of how I felt it was working. Currently I'm 3+ weeks into the diet and am mostly symptom free (with some supplements like d-mannose, aloe, andrographis, etc). I was on those supplements before with many more symptoms and swelling and burning and pain that came and went unpredictably. I'm still getting a flare maybe once a week or longer, but if this is what 3 weeks looks like, imagine what 3 months will look like! Or 3 years or 30 years. I truly believe that any other underlying health issues that may be below the surface (and she speaks a lot about the prodromal phase of diseases taking 5, 15, 20 yrs to develop) it will also be healed on this diet. How awesome is that. I believe I'm peeling back the layers and aging backwards from now on. :) This is TRUE medicine. More potent than anything I've ever done. And I'm excited about my progress and I tell this to everyone I can (my patients are getting prescribed 6-9 cups of veggies a day now). I know changing your diet can feel like a punishment, but I really get to eat tons of yummy foods. I've even found ways to have the satisfaction of eating my fav snack -chips - but in a compliant health promoting way. Eat APPLE chips. Martin's are super crunchy and give me the full chip like satisfaction without eating a disease promoting food/oil. This is a lifestyle change. Not a short term therapy, although I'm sure many people could do that and get great relief. But I also believe if you go back to old habits then new issues could arise again. Why bother and just get used to eating the way we're meant to with tons of greens, sulfur veggies, colourful foods and meats and fats and fruits. I do miss grains and will have them once a week, but it gives me a "treat" to look forward to. And prevents me from eating processed disease promoting foods. I could go on. Just get the book. Commit to yourself. All you have to lose is your symptoms. It will blow your mind in the most wonderful way.

Firstly, let me say that if you have MS, any other autoimmune or chronic health condition, this book is SO worth listening to. I know that the Wahls Protocol itself, as well as this big book, can seem overwhelming, but time invested in looking into it is definitely time well spent. (I would make the same comment if you have read the first edition - you will still learn so much from having the revised edition!) Before reading the first edition of this book and moving on to implement the diet, I had known about the Wahls Protocol for a while but thought it just sounded too hard, so just stuck to the Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis diet which I had been doing for about 10 years. But after a relapse which saw me taking 3 months off work, I knew that OMS was not working for me and that I needed to make a change. Reading through the first edition was revolutionary and turned my life around. No, it wasn't easy to change but the improvement in my health proved to me that it was time and effort well spent. Fast forward a few years, the revised edition came out and I eagerly bought this to see what more there was to learn. Unfortunately, COVID meant that I just it was hard for me to find time to read this massive book. Earlier this year, I realised that my health was not as good as it had been. Although I wasn't eating or doing anything I shouldn't, I wasn't doing everything I should and needed to get back into the details. I joined the free unofficial Wahls Protocol Book Club on Facebook where you read a chapter a week and then discuss it. For a while, I was keeping up, but then life happened. I kept participating in the club, which was helpful, but knew that if I was reading the book as well it would be so much more powerful. That's was when I decided to get the audiobook, and this made ALL the difference. I was able to listen to it whilst doing other things, such as exercising, making it more achievable. I do think that having the physical book is also important - there are some parts that work better when you can actually see the text or pictures, such as the recommended exercises, or the numerous tables included throughout. But having listened to all the book, I then knew what sections I wanted to look at more closely in the book. Also, it is much easier to locate particular information using the contents page or index, rather than skimming through the audio. So in summary, go ahead and listen to this audiobook, but also invest in a physical copy - you won't regret it!

I have multiple sclerosis for many years. I have tried everything: diet, exercises, DMTs, physiotherapy etc

We, my husband ( secondary progressive MS since 2001) and me had heard about Dr Terry Wahls from an American friend who showed us her TEdx talk...we were intrigued...and I bought instantly the first book, which was hard to "digest" for me being a german native speaker....that was in January 2014 and I was glad that the Wahls protocol was published in February 2014, basically 2 months after we found out about Dr Wahls. We started the diet in January this year.....what were his symptons?? My husband symptoms really got worse within the last 4-5 years. He had been an incredible athlete, hiking , climbing and skiing and on the other hand somebody who loved reading and writing...unfortunately his eye sight was the first major symptom.. other symptoms were severe fatigue, balance , bladder problems, concentration, walking distances really went down, brain fog, depression, left side of the body really weak……. Did the diet help, oh yes it did....his energy level is so much up, and last week he said the first time in 5 year " I actually enjoy reading again"...he has not read a lot, but now he is reading the Wahls protocol on his Kindle......and actually sometimes I am annoyed that he spends so much time with the kindle....but am also very happy to be annoyed...it is much better seeing him reading then just lying in the bed and starring at the ceiling....he also goes much more often to the gym again and also that helps. His recovery phases when he has been doing extreme work out are much shorter....and more...what is not yet better is balance, bladder, weakness in left side of the body….. but the most important sign for sucess for me is that he wants to stick to the diet since he feels so much better....... I did try to follow strictly as well but have to say that my stomach did not appreciate too much of the algae’s etc....am now I follow a kind of mixture diet somewhere in between Wahls Paleo and wahls paleo plus.....I have no MS or other severe issues…but I lost weight which is now back  on since I quit smoking , inspired by the attitude and compliance of my husband to Wahls Paleo plus….. Overall my husband is looking forward to sticking to the Wahls Paleo plus protocol and we cannot wait to spread the news here in Germany when the translated version will be published… So we wish everybody who is also following the protocol tons of luck and fingers crossed…..
