“In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr. Terry Wahls about how she reversed her secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis with a micronutrient-dense diet and Paleo principles.”

“In animal studies, all mice with multiple sclerosis on the fasting-mimicking diet exhibited decreased clinical symptoms, and 20 percent recovered fully. Fasting is rejuvenating because autoimmune cells are destroyed and replaced with healthy cells upon refeeding.”

“Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune neurodegenerative disorder that destroys myelin, the insulating layer that surrounds neurons. The causes of MS are complex and may arise from both genetic and environmental factors, including nutritional deficiencies.”

Dr. Valter Longo discusses the role of fasting and the fasting-mimicking diet in longevity, cancer & multiple sclerosis.

“During shorter fasts, the body does not break down cellular components because digestion is still ongoing and glycogen (a storage form of carbohydrate) is still available. The characteristic cycle of targeted destruction and renewal has been shown in multiple sclerosis patients and animal models to temporarily reduce total white blood cell levels.”

“Autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis occur when the immune system mistakes the body's own proteins for those released by invading pathogens.”

“It is the primary cause of mononucleosis (often called "mono") – a highly infectious disease that affects mostly teenagers and young adults. Findings from a recent study suggest that Epstein-Barr infection increases a person's risk for developing multiple sclerosis.”

“Taken together, these findings demonstrate that N-acetylglucosamine may be beneficial in treating people who have multiple sclerosis. More research is needed to confirm this possibility.”

“Some evidence suggests that the fasting-mimicking diet reduces the number of autoimmune cells in people with multiple sclerosis. Learn more in this episode featuring Dr. Valter Longo. Read full publication.”
