This is a YouTube video titled "Dr. Terry Wahls Talks About Quality of Life" containing a recorded conversation from August 2018 between Ask AI Mark and Dr. Terry Wahls. They discuss the Wahls Protocol and its impact on various neurological and autoimmune conditions, focusing on improving quality of life through lifestyle and health creation rather than just treating diseases.
So you also are exploring not just MS, but other brain issues.
Yeah, yeah.
So talk about the kind of things besides MS that you're working on and what kind of results you're seeing.
So in my lifestyle clinics, again, we were able to keep track of who's coming to see us. Pain was the number one reason that people would come in. Then autoimmunity, metabolic problems like diabetes, heart disease, In terms of the types of neurologic problems that people would come in, Parkinson's, Myasthenia Gravis, Cognitive Decline, Alzheimer's, of course, Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD, Mood Disorders.
Pretty much everything for which we have very poor treatments.
Poor treatments, poor treatments. And certainly what we would consistently would see, some of the first things people would notice is fatigue going down, energy going up, Mental clarity improving, brain fog diminishing, irritability diminishing.
Quality of life.
So quality of life, absolutely improving. Now because the VA has electronic medical record, I was also able to get my quality improvement people, do some analysis for us. We were able to show that the hemoglobin A1C was coming down, the body mass index coming down, blood pressure coming down. At the same time that the number of medications- Was coming down. Was coming down as well. And the pain medications, coming down and the narcotic use coming down. So, you know, incredibly exciting stuff. Very, very gratifying. And then, you know, in the thousands of followers that I have, you know, routinely I'm being contacted by people who are telling me that their treating physicians had given up on them saying there was nothing that they had to offer them for a condition, which I of course have never heard of. And they're telling me that they've, implemented the Wahls Protocol and that their functions are improving. And so then I'm Googling like, so what are these conditions? And some of them are autoimmune, some of them are neurodegenerative, and very consistently, it's a similar pattern that I see. Energy is improving, mental clarity is improving, pain is diminishing.
Well, the protocol is anti-inflammatory, it's detoxifying, it's mitochondrial boosting, it's gut repairing. Absolutely. These are all the foundations of creating health. And so when you do that, regardless of what condition you have, people seem to get better.
You know, and I'm trying to teach people that what we need to be focusing on is the creation of health, that this is your best treatment for whatever chronic disease you have.
Yeah, you don't do it by treating the disease, you treat- you- create health. Health, right? You create- and the disease goes away as a side effect, I often say.
