Food for thought...

Every day I read or hear another story about how changes in diet have resulted in dramatic changes to someone's health. I particularly love this video from Dr Terry Wahls, a medical physician from America who controlled and reversed her multiple sclerosis with diet after seven years of deterioration on the best conventional treatments available. She went from being wheelchair bound to cycling, horse riding and living life to the fullest after changing her diet.

Terry is a real inspiration and one of the best things about her is her experience with conventional treatments; she studied medicine and became and physician, and then experiencing conventional medicine as a patient for years before resorting to diet therapy. She now shares her story and The Wahls Protocol (a radical new way to treat all chronic autoimmune conditions using Paleo principles) worldwide. Terry Wahls website

Terry is one of many people who have taken control of their health through changes in diet. Here are a few other people who have inspired me:
