Fully expanded with new information and updated research, a clear prescriptive guide about how to beat autoimmune conditions using functional medicine and nutrient-rich foods, from a doctor, researcher, and sufferer of progressive multiple sclerosis.
 
The Wahls Protocol has become a sensation, transforming the lives of people with autoimmune diseases. Now in this fully revised edition, Dr. Terry Wahls outlines the latest research that validates the program and offers new, powerful tools to arm readers and help them achieve total health.
The Wahls Protocol comes out of Dr. Wahls' own quest to treat the debilitating symptoms she experiences as a sufferer of progressive MS. Informed by science, she began using Paleo principles as guidelines for her unique, nutrient-rich plan. This book shares Dr. Wahls' astonishing personal story of recovery and details the program, with up-to-date research she's now conducting at the University of Iowa.  
Split into three different levels, this updated edition allows readers to choose the modified Wahls Diet if they're new to the regime, the Wahls Paleo Diet if they're ready to amp up their health, or the more advanced Wahls Paleo Plus Diet if they need more aggressive treatment. They can also incorporate the just-added Wahls Elimination Diet into their plan to pinpoint individual food sensitivities, so their diet is as personal as ever.
With new recipes and content on intermittent fasting and how the protocol impacts the microbiome, The Wahls Protocol is a key addition to the "whole food" revolution, and a deeply moving, results-driven testimonial to the healing power of food.

      Physician and professor (medicine, Univ. of Iowa) Wahls was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2000, when she was in her mid-40s. Despite aggressive medical therapy, her decline progressed rapidly; by 2004, she required a special wheelchair. Her neurologist steered her toward a charity website that focused on the link between diet and MS. She took the diet and recommendations further, developing her own regimen. Now she is able to walk and cycle and has dramatically improved. Wahls describes her protocol, beginning with a discussion of cells and cellular health; her diet (based on the paleo program, low in carbohydrates and sugars but also gluten- and dairy-free) and what she calls a Paleo Plus diet (which adds seaweed and organ meat and more raw, soaked, and fermented foods); and environmental and other factors. Meal plans, nutrient comparison tables, and patient endorsements are included, as are citations of many pertinent articles from peer-reviewed medical journals. Her first clinical trial is now in its prepublication stage; she has applied for funding to conduct further study. VERDICT MS can be a perplexing and devastating disease, and Wahls's protocol may be worth considering, with appropriate medical supervision and medication.--Marcia G. Welsh, Dartmouth Coll. Lib., Hanover, NH
