I have MS. I’ve read and listened online to Dr. Wahl’s info...here’s a link that summarizes alot of the info:

(Dr. Wahl is also famous for having the son who’s video went viral after he testified to Iowa legislators about being raised by two moms.)

She not only used diet but neuroelectrical stimulation.

Since it worked for Dr. Wahl...good for her. But you’ll notice there are lots of things for sale on her site...book, dvd’s, CD’s...and notice they’re pretty pricey.

I’ve also followed those who have follow Dr. Wahl’s protocol, because if you have the disease, you’re pretty much willing to try anything. Their results aren’t so spectacular. Not saying it doesn’t work for some, just doesn’t work for all. And it’s never wrong to improve your diet.

I did find it interesting that the vitamins and supplements she recommends I was already taking just due to reading I had done in the past.

Call me cynical, but I hold to the Princess Bride philosophy: Life is pain highness, and any body that’s trying to tell you otherwise, is probably selling something.

That being said, if you read and listen long enough, she notes that because it worked for her, she is not saying it’ll work for others.

MS is an autoimmune disease which is why neurologists routinely order high dose steroids during a relapse. The idea is to shut down the immune system. It is why they prescribe such drugs as interferon. MS is a broad disease with diverse symptoms and many different outcomes. I don’t know of any disease state that probably wouldn’t be helped by better nutrition, but I don’t know of any that cured solely by better nutrition. Most vitamin and mineral supplements are simply voided in the urine. The vitamins to be careful with are the fat-soluble ones which can tend to build up in human systems over time if taken in large amounts.
