Reddit reviews The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles

If you watch weed 3 you'll see how people trying to research on it get stone walled by the feds but they give people cannabis for medicinal purposes.

All the studies have been on focused on THC. The problem with CBD is that the science is focusing on it and the authorities are like "it's illegal no". When you compare this to kids with dravet syndrome who have fatal form of epilepsy and they die from it, when they perform well from CBD, the CBD does something no other pharmaceutical drug for epilepsy can, there's no pharmaceutical equivalent. Then when people try to do studies they are blocked. It's a complete cluster fuck. In Weed 2 people with epileptic children migrate to Colorado in hopes to get access to CBD because traditional treatments don't work. If only these people realized that the federal government already give out THC as medicine legally, these people are fighting for CBD only. The funny thing is was that THC is a prescribable drug because they synthesized it calling it Dronabinol/MARINOL and it's Schedule III

I'm not overly familiar with study culture and studies, but I do notice a trend in people that go deep into looking at the studies, first of all anyone that looks into studies, looks into it themselves and doesn't proclaim for them to be spoon fed to them by other people. If your wife takes CBD seriously she'll look them up herself.

The guy in the first clip did a review of the "literature" and made a book called "marihuana reconsidered". What literature? I don't know but i'm sure it's cited in that book. The literature is there but it's never been taken seriously.

Here's two women who looked at studies for themselves and wrote books about their finding, Multiple Sclerosis and diet, and another about the Placebo effect:

• kratom — in a nutshell: a brief vacation from feeling tired and miserable. Anecdote: I had to give a presentation the other day. I it started earlier than I realized and I missed my nap & lunch. I had taken 500mg kratom that morning though. I was surprised that I made it through the presentation with no crash or even a fumble. I'm not taking it now, though; it doesn't play well with the methyl-B12 that I started. I end up wired all night.
  
• Selank — stress blocker. The pro is that I can work more/harder/longer. The con is that I can overdo it and be too exhausted the next day to get much done. I think of it as a stress blocker, not reducer.
  
  BTW, I just started reading the Terry Wahls book on using targeted nutrition ensure your body gets what it needs to function optimally. In the preface she describes how she became wheelchair bound from progressive multiple sclerosis, researched nutritional support for mitochondrial function then regained most of her health. She's an MD and it looks to be realistic so far. You can read the preface on Amazon and see if it interests you.

Been slowly compiling resources on this as we get a lot of questions in the regard. Hope it helps.

MS is curable and completely reversible. Look up the "Wahl's Protocol". Here's the book. Check out the reviews:

I like this a lot:

Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis: An Evidence-Based Guide to Recovery

and they have a pretty cool website: https://overcomingms.org/

I also like Terry Wahls book:

The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles

Her website: http://terrywahls.com/


Aside from that, I've done tons of research on the drugs and methods of diagnosis. Not all of it is pretty. Some of the harder to find stuff is pretty eye opening.

Basically MS is a huge pile of different symptoms that they just group together under the name. They don't really know how or why it happens, or why the drugs they give (sometimes) help.

There has been a large push lately to diagnose MS earlier. 10 years ago they'd not have told me I have MS. In one way this is good for patients, they can get the help they need earlier.
On the other hand, the docs might miss something else that they just group under the big umbrella they call "MS".

For example, Lyme disease might look like MS in some people.

As for drugs, the first ones they put everyone on, Interferon (rebif, avonex), and Copaxone have a horrible success rate. Something like 30%. That combined with all the side effects really makes them iffy. The doctor won't tell you that, and it defo is not advertised on the more mainstream (drug industry funded) MS "help" sites.

Hope that gives you some ideas where to start. Don't believe everything you read right off. Defo do your research on the drugs yourself! And watch out for the trap on most ms help sites. There's a cult of drug worship that can be pretty toxic.

I say drugs can be useful. I wouldn't tell anyone to stop taking them, but they can only help an otherwise healthy lifestyle.

Take care.

The breathing technique hasn't passed my criteria of satisfaction yet but sound promising so I said I'd mention it. If you were to eat a diet I would recommend The Wahls Protocol. Fasting is great and all but consistency is better than being needy to get an end result. Your goal is your ideal, the journey is what you should value.
