Wonderful talk! I adopted her diet and lost 35 pounds without hunger, learned to cook, and improved a lot of my MS symptoms.

Originally the MS Society banned her from giving any talks at any of their meetings. Now they have given her a $1.5 million grant to pursue her work further through clinical trials and such.

I have a close friend who developed MS 6 years ago. They told her was very aggressive and she would be in a wheelchair within 6 months. 6 years later she is still out of the wheelchair due to Dr Wahls Protocol!

Watching this 11 years later, eating a mixed greens salad for lunch. Thought I was doing pretty well with a healthy diet. After a few minutes of this video, i am blown away by what she accomplished with 3cups of greens, 3 cups of sulfur veggies, berries and fresh lean meat. This video should be shown in High Schools across the country.

This video saved my Life! I watched it when I thought I have MS. Now I have no symptom anymore. Bless you Dr Terry Wahls.

This is the same advice my own Oncologist gave me after Endometrial cancer. I follow it and am healthy six years on. I LOVE my veggies, too. Easy to avoid junk food, now.

PLEASE DON'T DELETE Dr. Terry's video, TED! It is stories like this that give us all hope that there are cures out there; we just have to be open.

I was diagnosed 3 days ago....I pray her methods help.

The diet in this book works. Yes it’s expensive but as she says you pay now or you pay at the hospital. My fiancé was diagnosed in February and from the beginning she has seen a dramatic recovery both in overall wellness and the lesions on her brain. The things that seem to set her and others with MS back most is dairy and gluten. This book WILL give you hope if you have MS, but it’s work. It’s not easy opting for 9 cups of greens over a cheeseburger. With time it gets easier. You got this!!!

This lady saved my life!!! I love her!

I liked the video and also believe that you can fight disease with good food. My Mom was very bad with dimentia when I came two years ago to visit her. I stayed and have had her on a strict diet like the one you use, walks in nature and strict sleep routine. There has been such an improvement that she doesn't seem like the same person. She's 82.

And 9 years later this talk is even more powerful!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I was just diagnosed with MS today, and I am thrilled to have come across this video. I thought I was a healthy 43-year-old woman until today, but I know that my diet has not been the greatest over the years. I have a high metabolism, and have been able to get away with eating unhealthy, processed foods for years...until now. I will be switching to the "hunter-gatherer" diet immediately, and I will update everyone on my condition in the future months. I am so thankful to have come across this video so early in my disease. I am confident that changing my diet will help to slow or halt the progression of my MS.

R.I.P. Mom and she fought a tough fight with MS. I so wish this had been known then but now my mom is out of pain. I did speak about this to my family about the mitochondria, but was told I don't know what I am talking about....Thank you Lord!

I was diagnosed with MS the beginning of this year. Hearing what she has to say gives me so much hope that was lost since then. I bought her book and can't wait to read it.

I feel passionately that this video can change and save the lives of people suffering from MS. Protect this video, share it with as many people as possible. Thank you so much Dr. Terry Wahls for sharing your story and giving hop to so many.

I have had ms for 6 years since i was 16 and just recently started a new diet and feel better than ever

It should be a crime this isn't preached at doctor's offices. Im 44 years old, overweight and overmedicated. When I learned that I have brain lesions MS came up in my search for education. Even if I don't have it this is great info. Better late than never!

I’m a medical student. I was diagnosed MS also. Thanks for your advices. I will apply each of them on my diet

While allopathic medicine is still waiting for it's studies and only offering drugs to cover symptoms, many are healing themselves through the power of nutrition and exercise. The amazing power of high nutrient plant foods is the key.

This is SUCH a great talk on how the nutritional benefits of plants can reverse symptoms of a debilitating illness like MS. Thank you Dr. Wahls for this inspiring talk.

Its always impressive to see people who can beat diseases consider incurable or terminal, without using modern medicine

I've lost two stone and my IBS is no more since following this healthier way of eating. Totally changed the way I think and feel about food not a diet just change in life style for me. I feel great 😁

I have MS and this is inspiring ! I am gonna try and beat this 💪🤞thank you so much for telling us what foods will help to get the brain what it desperately needs to heal.

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

make a green smoothie as a mid morning snack, and a green smoothie as dessert with Lunch or dinner and you've already got your 9 cups of veggies. And it doesn't have to cost more - grow your own veggies in a window box, or raised beds, or shop at a farmers market.You have the information now - If it's too much trouble, then you are simply addicted to your illness...

Screw your "guidelines" - Dr. Wahls speaks truth.

T Skeen, I have secondary progressive MS, had it undiagnosed and untreated for 4 years that was through high school and my first year of university. I don't believe much in medicine and that it can do much better than healthy eating can. I'm no doctor but after I was put on many different drugs and didn't get any better I regulated my diet very similar to how she did and maintained my healthy lifestyle best I could. I can now run 100m in 11.9 seconds....Two years ago I was wheelchair bound. I'm living proof that what you just said is completely wrong.

I am so disappointed that this video has a negative tag on it. All she is talking about is good food. What is the reason for the negative tag?

If you have MS or similar symptoms try taking a high dose of vitamin D3, about 10,000 IU daily. This has helped me so much within a matter of weeks.

This is a confession by a qualified MD that her medical education was inadequate in the field of nutrition.

My Naturopath recommended this talk and it makes so much sense. I pray our daughter includes Dr Wahls’ advice in her treatment since she was diagnosed with MS in early December 2021. Keeping our mitochondria in tip top shape helps keep our telomeres as long as possible. Long telomeres are associated with better health. Thank you Dr Terry sow, soil, berry, bury mulch and munch, country Lorna

What a woman! I'm inspired

I was recently diagnosed with MS, i asked my drs about what i can do to be healthier, and i am Shocked that they never mentioned changing my diet. I see it all over online, but the dr never suggested that a food change could help. Im going to try this right away!

I have motor neuron disease that is progressing very slowly.the slow progreesion is because i eat organic vegetables and fruits.plenty of fish and supplemental vitamins which are also organic.i do use a power chair and a non-invasive ventilator which could have been invasive were i not eating healthfully.i still can swallow and speak also because of my beautiful dietary habits. This lecture only strengthened my determination to keep on keeping on.

This is so far the best TED talk I've seen and an idea truly worth spreading! I don't have MS, but celiac disease. Recently I've become more aware of the amazing power of food, as I can see the immense changes the gluten-free diet has made to my body. Now I'm wiser and try to follow a diet including mostly vegetables, fuits, nuts and seafood. The biggest difference in my diet is using (really) lots of herbs and spices. It's very hard to change your diet so dramatically, but I'm inspired! Thank you!

This is such a great talk. I love Dr. Terry Wahls! Her research, along with that of Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, has changed my life. I have yet to reach full remission, but I went from being in a rapidly declining state of excruciating chronic pain that was taking away my ability to walk to being able to power walk, hike, bike ride, go to the gym, and preform many other actives that used to be out of the question. Most of us think of our 20's as being the peak of our health, but the peak of my illness hit during my early 20's, and I had emotional breakdowns everyday thinking that I was going to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Now it feels like I'm aging in reverse. I feel younger, healthier, and more alive with every passing day. Whether you are looking to cure/prevent chronic illness or just optimize your body's functioning so that you have the energy to live your life to the fullest, I highly recommend looking into their research. It also takes an open mind and a willingness to let go of previously held beliefs surrounding food. Before the autoimmune protocol, I was eating what most of us would consider to be an extremely healthy diet, but that was clearly not the case. It turned out that most of what I thought I knew about healthy eating was wrong. Dietary ideologies can be dangerous. I decided to experiment, and let my body be the one to tell me what I should and should not eat.

This woman is a genius. I had a MRT and they found some lesions. I was freaking out - and saw this video. I did what she said, after one year I was able to do another MRT and the lesion which may suggest i have MS got alot smaller! And: it's not expensive if you start growing sprouts - once you have the glasses (in which they grow) and the seeds you can grow your sprouts yourself - they have a lot more vitamins, minerals and all the good stuff the full grown vegetable has. And you don't need to eat 3 plates a day, these sprouts have all the minerals, vitamins in it, you just need to eat a spoon of it per day - and you WILL FEEL a change! And i eat al lot of fish (every second day). I noticed i can think much clearer, i was suddenly able to have my rhetorical skills back (i love talking with people, but i started to "fade away" when i wanted to answer). I thank god for this Ted-Talk. This woman has changed my life. I lost 15 kg in the last year (i'm 1,8m and 60 kg - which is the perfect weight for me) and feel much much healthier. My depression is nearly gone. I have no more panic attacks. Please listen to her, do what she recommends! Especially if you're from the US - i know you have to pay for a doctors visit and you delay this to the point you can't anymore. It's a shame (us healthcare) - i'm from europe and here is everything free (and as good as in the us, or even better... the Saudi princes/princesses are always coming here for a doctors visit), must be even worse if you live there. Believe me, she's right with EVERY WORD she says. Give it a try. Try sprouts!! They will change your life, i promise!

Was diagnosed with MS six months ago. Not one medical professional or therapist mentioned this. Like Dr WAhls, I say thank you internet. The Wahls protocol kept coming up in the research I did for myself.

Dr. Wahls just received the High Impact Award at the JJ Mindshare event for this video.

Dr. Terry Wahls is an absolute hero. She gives hope and inspiration to so many people. Both people suffering from MS…AND to everybody else.. So TED will loose a lot of respect in my regards if they choose to take this incredible talk down.

She is one of my hero’s- my greatest teachers of how to take your health into your own hands with the power of food. YES to functional medicine and a food first approach. ⭐️ the good ole Ted talks days. ☺️

Diagnosed shortly after watching this video. Timely! This advice has sticked with me for all those years. Thank you.

I am in the process of removing the symptoms of my MS by embracing the Wahls Way. Myself and my husband are looking forward to the publication of the Wahls Protocol in March 2014. Not only has my life improved but the lives of everyone who comes into contact with me. I have turned other MS sufferers to this diet/lifestyle through Facebook. I'm looking forward to going back to work and not remaining a burden to the British tax payer. I plan to re-educate myself in nutrition/functional medicines and promote this diet to others so they may be well. Thank you Dr. Wahls!

Please don't censor and "stop" discussion on natural health. The fact that this is flagged is absolutely absurd.

This is vitally important information for everyone who cares about their health. Many thanks to Dr. Wahls.

Thanks for uploading this so many illnesses can be treated with alternative medicine and diet.

MS was making me blind in both eyes and I was only going down hill. 13 years later and my health has improved every year.

You can't argue success! Her words will ripple in inspiring me as I juice daily and eat huge salads. She's my kind of doctor!

Loved this super-important, relevent, and life changing video. I already eat healthier than most people. Now I will really eat even healthier. Dr. Terry Wahls is a super smart women who helps everyone who watches her talks.

Thank you, Dr. Wahl. Eloquent and substantiated. As the old saying goes, "can't argue with success."

Thank you ever so much! I've always known, deep deep down, that the food we eat makes a huge difference. I already did some of the things you mention and have felt more or less. Now, after 2 months of the wahls paleo, I feel better than I have in the 24 years since I was diagnosed.

Dr. Wahl's message is simple, common sense. How disappointing to see the TED warning. What gross corporatism. If her talk doesn't comport with the supposed mission of TED, I don't what does. Take the label off -- for shame.

Thank you Dr....I to has MS and have been asking what can I do for myself in this disease to help me get better, feel better. Thanks once again.

Wow..what a presentation highly practicle scientific life saving diet protocol ..it is a great inspiring talk by a doctor who reversed Multiple sclerosis auto immune disorder ...simply superb Dr Terry Wahl ..you are life savier for many people all over the globe ..thank you with lot of respect from Chennai India 🙏

"Real foods contain all the secrets we don't yet understand" (page 35 in The Wahls Protocol by Terry Wahls, M.D.) I am reading The Wahls Protocol because our neighbour's daughter has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Such a fantastic and useful book. ❤️

This is a beautifully important example of the power of a whole food diet and functional medicine. I fully support all of the ideas in this video and think that Tedx should keep this video available for others to learn from.

MS runs in my family! I eat this way to keep MS away! Gladys🇨🇦Toronto🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦

It may be outside of TEDx guidelines, but it's well, WELL in line with restorative science.

Amazing and eye opening talk. She said too many good things in two little a time to too many people. Choice is mine, yours and should be ours collectively. Salute to her will power and worthy plus honest public guidance.

Inspirational that anyone, much less a doctor, would take think outside the box and figure out how to fix their health. Empowers others to take health on and put illness aside in the meantime.

Bless you! Yet another example of how food can heal. You are a true crusader.

So glad I ran into this video because I didn’t have a clue as to what was happening to me im72 and I was becoming lethargic and not being able to do normal things I wasn’t in pain but I knew something was going wrong cause I had no energy and when I heard you speak my mouth fell open cause it described me too the tee I had never ever heard ofmitochondria had to be God that led me to this video and the most beautiful thing that she did is gave information on how to deal with it thank GOD thank you Dr. Terry Wahls!!!!!!!!

Such a mind blowing talk. Simply love it. This needs more views for the value it delivers.

Who flagged this video as "outside TED's curatorial guidelines"? Was it Monsanto? Or Johnson&Johnson? Damn sellouts....

When i watched this video in 2013 i was very ill. She saved my life. Because of Dr Terry Wahls i am alive today. I dont know why it has only a bit over 3 mil views when so many people are ill and this diet may save them. Its a shame..

Loved the talk. It is so wonderful to see people taking back their power to heal themselves. Well done dr Terry, you will inspire so many people

I have POTs, CFS, fibromyalgia. i now have hope.

This video changed my life. Thank you Dr. Wahls. I am improving my MS with food!

You're such an inspiration! I was diagnosed in 2001! This year is my 20 year anniversary living with MS.

I love this video! Absolutely incredible how hard the good people try to help the suffering and mostly in denial society and yet she is the one who gets the a disclaimer. Incredible.

Best talk on UKposts.

Lastima q de este tipo de vídeos no haya tanta difusión, hay q poner en practica estos consejos q son la clave para la salud, gracias por informar de sus logros q dan fe de una generación saludable.

No discretion required - this is excellent and it is not just personal. This is a doctor who did the research and has published books on a method that works for fighting MS.

Oh please, don't take this talk down!!! This talk is amazing! It would be unfair!... :(

Dr Wahls, THANK YOU SO MUCH

I have watched this several times. Dr Terry you are a shining light and so inspiring.

First talk I have watched that matched the daily allowance of nutrients we need, with the matching sources in vegetables, fruit and berries, quality protein and iodine. Good Talk. And Thanks to Patrick Brentlinger for making summary of talk with time labels and list of items discussed.

This video helped change my life!! Thank you Dr. Terry Wahls for helping us sculpt a better world for ourselves!!

Bravo Dr Wahls, I have listened to almost every talk and interview you have given - I raise my glass ( or pure filtered water) to your long life. The world needs scientists like you as your reports are findings are taken more seriously.

Just watched this video again, and again, I appreciate the care and thought that went into Dr. Wahls' presentation. It's disturbing that TED is still posting "warnings" all over this video. Wahls is careful to say she is only describing her experiences and speculating about the relationship between diet and the control of diseases. Many people I know lost respect for TED after it went on the warpath against this video, and a few others (while allowing some videos that make blatantly ridiculous claims to go without warnings). TED, for example, has labeled discussions of the dangers of GMO foods (filled with toxic insecticides) as pseudo-science, and has posted statements on the "virtues" of Dean Ornish's dangerous vegan diets, based on the worst kind of pseudo-science.

This is the best TED Talk I have ever seen! As a 21 year old who is 120 lbs. overweight, has just had some prostatitis, and is beginning to experience scary symptoms such as frequent thirst/urination (type 2 diabetes) and some blurry vision in my right eye along with numbness and fatigue (MS), this talk hits home so, so hard. Further, I have a dream to be a physician which seems in jeopardy considering my current health. As a student with limited finances, I will try to begin this paleo diet at least partially and hope and pray that it will bring results and save my life.

This woman is incredible and is the reason for my lifestyle changes for the better. I owe much gratitude for this talk. forever thankful

Thank you Dr. Wahl for this valuable and comprehensive information. I am a raw vegan and following a plan which is 80 percent of the same raw fruits and vegetables you displayed in your lecture. The other 20 percent are 10 percent for protein in the form of sprouted beans, sprouted tofu and seeds such as chia, hemp and flax, and occasionally cooked beans, The final 10 percent is in the form of fats which are also from the seeds, some nuts, and tofu. I eat seaweed almost daily because I love it. I do not eat any type of animals products. I am nearly 60 and have no health problems. My bone density is at the 20-30 year old range. I had Hep C for 25 years and was cured with the new drug teleprevir (interferon, and riboviron) cocktail two years ago. I went into anemic shock after 6 weeks of treatment and required blood transfusions (ironic, as this is how I acquired the Hep C in the first place) and hospitalization. I went vegan after the first chemo treatment of interferon and riboviron, ten years ago, had failed. I researched diets that would be less taxing on my liver. The over-whelming consensus was for a vegan diet. On a vegan diet I remained "healthy enough" to continue teaching, body-building, doing gymnastics, and doing power yoga. One year ago, I found an amazing yoga teacher named Ali Kamenova, who introduced me to the 80-10-10 raw vegan diet...The change has been incredible. I have bi-annual check-ups and blood tests. Every function in my body is either normal or better. I feel amazing. I do supplement b12. Excuse the lengthy description, but I thought it was necessary for understanding what type of health issues had effected me. I would like to know what your opinion is on the omission of the grass-fed meats, organ meats, and omega rich fish. Do you feel they are necessary in the diet you chose and developed? Or, do you think that a vitamin and mineral rich plant=based diet is adequate for a healthy body? I am so impressed with the amazing progress you made. I would respect what you have to say about this. Thank you so much for your time, Laura Jones-Miller

Thank you for all this God sent knowledge. Your a God sent gift to humanity. I truly appreciate your lecture and will share this to all who care about their health. Blessings

Dr. Wahl's makes a lot of sense. We need more thinkers like her.

What an excellent speaker! It's nice to be given some hope. Thank you!

Thank you for posting this. My wife and I switched to this diet minus the milk and meat as soon as we found out she had MS(6wks ago). It is worth a try. Your story is inspiring. Keep telling it and don't stop no matter what. Going veg IS doable. Get everyone in your house to do it. Weve become addicted to horrible food and its time we got healthy again.

Beautiful talk, beautiful study, beautiful experience, beautiful practice, beautiful results, beautiful human being. Thank you for sharing and your strength and much much more

Thank you for the hope and choices. My son is in the very early stages of probable MS

I paused the video when she said three cups, went to my kitchen and looked down into a four cup measurement. With desire for better health I thought, I can do one cup of some of this. Maybe two. Looked into my refrigerator and I see I've been buying good stuff and a lot goes to mold because ... ? because ? and then the picture of the family with their groceries appeared. There's the answer. The rest of my kitchen is filled with that stuff. I desire to do this diet. Simple! What a great picture story. I learn best by these pics. Great ted talk!

Absolutely amazing she is a true inspiration!!!

Congratulations Dr. Wahl ! Thank you for sharing your results and recommendations! ❤️

She is astonishing. Thank you Terry

Wow this is very powerful! And what an amazing woman...thank you Dr. Wahls!!

Excellent talk, a clear example of how good nutrition can cure disease. I hope it continues to inspire people to achieve good health for themselves

So helpful. Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone ❤

Reading your book. Thank you so much for your work. I was just diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Thank you so much.

thank you Dr Terry Wahls for your inspirational story and amazing work ....cheers

This is great, I'm glad I finally watched this!! Very informative, and I'm sharing this with everyone I know!
