Food as Medicine - The Inspiring Story of Dr. Terry Wahls, MD

Following along our theme that, "What we eat matters", I happened across a fascinating TED video presentation by Terry Wahls, MD. 


In 2003, Dr. Wahls was diagnosed with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. As a physician and professor at the University of Iowa's medical school, she had access to the best medical treatment available. 


Despite receiving the latest medicines and treatment protocols, her condition continued to deterioriate to the point she could only sit in a zero-gravity wheelchair. To move, she required two canes and could take only a few steps. Her prognosis was grime.


Having exhausted every treatment medical science had to offer, she desperately sought other options to save her life. Through that process, Dr. Wahls discovered the power of food as medicine.


Her Amazing Triumph


To say her recovery is amazing doesn't come close to describing the healing miracle she experienced. Being a medical school professor, she was able to conduct medical scientific studies to confirm the power of food as medicine.


Rather than tell you "the rest of the story", I encourage you to watch Dr. Wahls' presentation at the November 11, 2011 Iowa TED conference. 


I suggest also visiting her website at: http://www.terrywahls.com/ to see photographs, read more about her story, and tap into great brain health information.

Food Choice Matters


What we eat really does matter. I hope Dr. Wahl's story and research findings inspire you to consistently choose health supporting food. Your body will thank you.
