Wahls Warrior Julia defeats MS, Myasthenia Gravis and heals lesions on her MRI using the Wahls Protocol I would like to share my success story following your protocol. I first learned about you through emails that you posted on the MS-Diet list. At the time, I was following the Best Bet Diet. You are welcome to add my story to your Success Stories. I am a chief Admin on a Dr. Wahls Protocol Facebook list. My story as I continue to reverse neurological and other autoimmune symptoms. I wanted to post how I am doing in overcoming MS, myasthenia, and numerous other autoimmune diseases or as I like to say reducing my symptoms as close to 0 as I can. I still get scheduled IVIG immunoglobulin infusion every 3 weeks. The healing process takes time and sometimes there are minor setbacks. I share that because we all face certain ups and downs at times and we need to be so patient with our body. I use mypatientslikeme (PM me for my user name to see my profile) to monitor my health and abilities and monitor things like my MSRS score. Here is my story: I have been following the Wahls protocol (with some modifications due to allergies such as coconut) and before that the Best Bet Diet since the 2005 timeframe. I was dx with progressive MS in 2004 and myasthenia gravis plus hashimotos and scleroderma and sjogrens (and others) in the next 2 years after that. I began using a walker in early 2005 and migrated to a tilt recline wheelchair quite quickly (2007). Due to severe muscle weakness, I was on oxygen 24x7 and continued to have relapses and new lesions. I continued on the diet program, adding exercise as I could and supplements. I still have the original Up from the chair DVD and Food as Medicine from 2009. The medicines that I was on in the first 4 years included copaxone, avonex, Novantrone, Plaquenil, and Methotrexate.I I avoided wheat but I didnt understand that there were certain foods that had gluten...Duh...I would get much better and then go into a cycle of difficult walking etc. esp when I found myself gorging on foods like kamut for example. A year ago, I was diagnosed with celiac and once I eliminated ALL gluten foods, I really really began seeing much more stabilized health and mobility. I began walking 3-5 miles per day, no longer required oxygen and fully passed the 6 minute walking test (for oxygen), was able to sit up and stand for long periods of time, and my health continues to improve dramatically. 3 months ago, my latest MRI reflected that my lesions had disappeared. Not even sure that was possible. My GP last month just kept looking at me, smiling, looking up to the sky, and shaking his head. He told me to keep on doing whatever it is that I am doing. I continue to work on relearning many basic skills esp as I become more active including a low vision walking/accessibility coach who is teaching me to navigate the crosswalks and the public transit system and a cooking coach that works with me for 90 minutes each week. I am most frustrated that I have limited energy and isolation from being mostly homebound restricts me and bums me sometimes. Thanks for listening.
