Is anyone following Terry Wahl's Diet?

So at the moment, nothing is available for me to take right now. After 23 years I'm not sure the first line of drugs would help and the second line are a little toxic, still nursing my 1 year old. I had hear about Terry Wahl's diet some time back and I see someone posted A link to a study being done. It was supposed to finish April of this year but there are no conclusions I can find. Has anyone seriously followed her diet and what were the benefits for you? Thanks.

I have been on it for almost 2 years now and quit Copaxone at that time. since then, no flares and I have so much more energy and less symptoms. I had already decided to do it but went to a Holistic MD who also suggested I try it.

I too see and MDND and she helps me stick to a healthier diet as does the Wahls Protocol. I'm pretty sure Dr. Wahls is living proof that her methods work for her though and also for those following her. She answers questions on facebook too. I love that.

I don't do the diet because I don't eat meat. But thanks for the topic. Glad to hear that people are trying this.

I eat healthy food and organic food. I think that it VERY important to eat a great diet. If I could give up sugar and bread, I would lose some weight that I could definitely stand to lose. Oh well, I have to have some sins.

Since starting Tecfidera over 3+ years ago I became very GLUTEN Sensitive so I no longer eat anything with Gluten. I just bought Terry Wahls Protocol book. I'm going to try it, but I love yogurt & other dairy products.

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
