"These findings suggest inhibitors of VEGF-B–FLT-1 signaling or agonists of TGF-α–ErbB1 signaling may represent promising anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective therapies for MS and possibly other neurodegenerative diseases. Diets that promote anti-inflammatory pathways could be a noninvasive approach to treating brain inflammation"

Gut-Microbiota-Brain Axis and Its Effect on Neuropsychiatric Disorders With Suspected Immune Dysregulation. - PubMed - NCBI

FINDINGS: Various afferent or efferent pathways are involved in the MGB axis. Antibiotics, environmental and infectious agents, intestinal neurotransmitters/neuromodulators, sensory vagal fibers, cytokines, and essential metabolites all convey information to the central nervous system about the intestinal state. Conversely, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the central nervous system regulatory areas of satiety, and neuropeptides released from sensory nerve fibers affect the gut microbiota composition directly or through nutrient availability. Such interactions seem to influence the pathogenesis of a number of disorders in which inflammation is implicated, such as mood disorder, autism-spectrum disorders, attention-deficit hypersensitivity disorder, multiple sclerosis, and obesity.

The Therapeutic Potential of the Ketogenic Diet in Treating Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4709725/



Abstract

Until recently, multiple sclerosis has been viewed as an entirely inflammatory disease without acknowledgment of the significant neurodegenerative component responsible for disease progression and disability. This perspective is being challenged by observations of a dissociation between inflammation and neurodegeneration where the neurodegenerative component may play a more significant role in disease progression. In this review, we explore the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis. We review evidence that the ketogenic diet can improve mitochondrial function and discuss the potential of the ketogenic diet in treating progressive multiple sclerosis for which no treatment currently exists.

00:35 - so often the truth about health, is controlled by gatekeepers

• TED Talk with a huge red warning

02:08 - healing yourself using real food

• Dr Terry Wahls, heal yourself from multiple sclerosis through food

05:15 - 1/3 of people with MS within 10 years have some level of grave disability. 1/2 of such a severe fatigue that they have to leave the workforce.

14:05 - how did you eat before this

• Vegan for 15 years

• Grew up on a farm (not organic) plenty of conventional Pesticides, Herbicides etc

17:00 - 2007 sitting in a wheelchair, presumably for the rest of the life, what happen next

• Pubmed studies

• Mitochondria is key

• Adding Vitamin

22:55 - Discovered Loren Cordaian's work and started eating Meat after that

23:55 - Now the Magic starts to happen, (when doing:)

• Electrical therapy (november)
• Functional medicines Vitamins and supplements (november-December)
• Food plan

• Walking without a cane (March)

• Riding a bike for the first time in 6 years (May)

25:35 - MS (Multiple Sclerosis) is not something that normally happens

• Secondary progressive MS (Multiple Sclerosis)

26:45 - What does science have to say about this recovery

• 3 neurologist has confirmed MS (from one of the internationally recognised best MS hospital) but still Doctors think it was misdiagnosed. (since she recovered by food)
• Over 100 studies, but we don't know what are the factor that cause MS

30:45 - Other results with this diet (the Wahls Diet) other than MS

• Parkinson's disease

• Febrile myalgia

• ETC

35:40 - What is the Wahls diet?

• Plate full of green leaves
• Plate full of sulfur rich vegetables
• Plate full of bright color

• High quality Protein (e.g. Grass fed beef, wild fish, organ meat, seaweed)

36:53 - Why do this work?

• If we eat a lot of Sugar, High fructose corn syrup, white flower, we are going to be missing the building blocks necessary to have our Biocemestry happen properly, blocks necessary to have our Biochemistry happen properly.

• Broken chemistry is the beginning of every disease process

• The Paleo diet are very superior to the standard American diet, but...

41:00 - Why Sulfur rich foods

43:30 - Why are we all getting fat/Sick?

• Inflammation

• Missing building blocks
