Bump for later.
If this is such worthwhile info, why don’t you summarize it, please, so people can read about it.
Excellent find! Thanks for posting this. I sent it on to family and friends.
I just sent this to a friend with MS.....thanks.
I’ve been eating paleolithic since slightly before Thanksgiving. My health has improved dramatically, I’ve lost about 30 pounds, and I feel like I’m 20 years younger.
I’m sure that Dr. Wahls, like me, wishes she had eaten this way her entire life. I hope others heed her wise words.

Thank you so much! She is so inspiring and makes me want to try it. I have books on it but have not gotten around to it. I have a sense of urgency now.

Thank you for posting this.
I know some people who are on the Paleo diet. The Paleo diet is especially beneficial for people who have a Type O blood type. I wonder what blood type this woman has. Generally speaking, people eat too much junk for food. No wonder we have so many health problems!
Bump.
Too bad you have to become critically ill before you need to search for a better way of life. By the time you need a doctor it’s too late as you will be under the care of the medical profession which more like an ongoing experiment after following recommended standards for pretty much half a lifetime already.
The difference between organic and inorganic is, organic has a carbon attached to the food chain structure via photosynthesis (sunlight interacting with plant life), inorganic, like raw iron does not (have a carbon attached) and would be unusable to the body but iron in say...spinach has a carbon attached to the iron chain structure making it useable or assimilable by the human body. Inorganic substances would actually be toxic to the human body.
Anyway, fasting is much overlooked [(Strictly defined as an empty stomach with no solid food intake for a certain period of time) You still need your liquids for flushing i.e. kidneys]. All living bodies repair and rejuvenate while fasting esp. while sleeping. If you slept for 8 hours, normally would feel refreshed upon waking up. No food intake and more energy. Does that make any sense?
If you understood what the body was doing during sleep especially when your stomach is empty, then it would be no surprise to you how healing and repair takes places when a body is not encumbered with digesting food and can use the blood supply for other necessary operations that are usually hindered or neglected while you are stuffing your face all the time.
There are all kinds of different types of fasting minus the strict interpretation of no food intake and (distilled) water only, examples would be: no breakfast plan which would extend a fast begun during sleeping; 24 hour fast; 7 day fast; fruit only fast; cabbage only fast; no white flour fast; different types of liquids only fast...you get the idea as you can make your own up.
Advantage of fasting? It’s a cleansing which leads to evacuation of unwanted and useless items a body has been forced to store up i.e. amongst the fat cells. Basically, you are full of crap because you overeat. (Very noticeable when experiencing a common cold)
If you are encumbered to begin such as through overeating then you can’t expect a body to function normally in a dramatic change of diet. In other words, adding clean oil to dirty oil gains very little, you either have to filter the old oil or replace it before adding new oil. Same with the contents of a blood stream.
Try not to always let your taste buds dictate your wants and needs when they are sending messages to the brain, could be a false positive.
