I know this is about a different illness but there is some evidence that ME and MS are similar. I also believe that there is a lot to do with autoimmune research that is helpful to us. So I was wondering if anyone had read or come across this book and had found it useful. Would love to hear people's experiences.
Thanks

It might not be the same book, but in this thread there is a discussion about Professor George Jelinek's book "Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis - an evidence based guide to recovery."

Hi Melc23,

Recently i watched a programme re Gut on NHK World TV(in English).That station is Japanese.Their programmes all in English are excellent.

This particular programme featured a girl with MS and a young lady in UK(possible olympic gymnast) with life threatening allergies(admitted to hospital on 250 occasions plus for severe shock).In both cases lab testing showed that the ladies were low in Clostridium spp(in gut)....and the MS girl was also low in Bacteroides spp.

The allergy lady was short too of lactobacillus spp(also roseburia spp & ruminococcus spp)).Seemingly higher levels of Clostridium help produce more Treg cells which help to fight off disease.

There are seemingly more than 100 different types of Clostridium in the body....and now 17 of those have been found to help produce the Treg cells.A start up company discovered the latter and have sold off their rights to a USA company.

The young MS patient has been given a solution/drink containing Treg(like cells)/made artificially.This seems to be producing good results and the young lady is making good headway with her illness.

I hope I have remembered this correctly,if not someone else who has watched the programme can correct me.

It was interesting too, to know that Japanese people have much healthier guts(higher levels of good clostridium) than western people(in a study carried out using 11 western countries including France/Germany/Spain/USA/Sweden etc.However, that may change too if young people in Japan continue eating western foods.

It was shown too in the programme that a high fibre diet(nuts/seaweed/grains/mushrooms/green vegetables) was required to help the beneficial bacteria(clostridium etc).

It should be pointed out that not all clostridium spp are helpful.

If you search their archives you may find this programme or you could write to the station(email) and request it again.I have it recorded somewhere.

I followed the Terry Wahls Protocol and still follow about 80%.
I can’t eat as many veggies as she suggests because my thyroid started becoming hypo I suspect from all the cruciferous veggies.
I felt so much better on her diet and lifestyle before I crashed beginning of this year. Slowly trying to get there again.
I highly recommend her book

@melc23 .....I have posted this on another thread too....

The NHK documentary (The Body:Gut) that i mentioned above on NHK World(Japanese Tv /English) was about 52 minutes in length.It stated that it was produced by NHK in 2018 in cooperation with S4C Curiosity stream.In the preview statement it stated....Our gut brings together bacteria and immune cells to keep our immune system healthy and strong often in surprising ways.Find out why this remarkable organ (system?)does a lot more than just processing waste.
If you are interested in viewing it again (and I can recommend it) I suggest you contact NHK World(Channel 507?) and request another airing of this documentary.

On the same Channel earlier "Medical Frontiers "did a two ?part programme(about 1 hr each section) about ways to keep the gut flora in good condition , thus preventing lifestyle related sickness.As far as I remember ,diet was covered in those programmes too.The programmes were produced by NHK World in 2017 in association with NHK Global Medical Services( in co-operation with Tokyo Video Center.)

I'm thinking of trying the Wahls diet, but would her book The Wahls Protocol be enough to start that? Instead of buying both this and her cookbook?

Any suggestions? Thanks.
