Thank you for every video you post. I’m 27 with MS. I’ve declined taking any medication so your videos are extremely helpful with the work I need to continue to do at home to help with my right leg spasticity and MS as a whole.

[mreudeco]

May God bless you for all the effort you put in to make these videos for us 🙏🙏🙏

[luzgonzales]

Thanks a lot doctor. Very enlightening! Appreciate very much!

[ariella]

Thank you so much for your videos, your explanations are very helpful and educational! I have been following Dr. Wahls protocol for years now, and I feel much better, more energetic and stronger when I keep track of her advice. Her approach is very much similar to what you’re explaining in this video. I hope more people get to see and learn from it! Keep up doing a wonderful job bringing the information to people 🙏

Thank you for video you post. They help me treat my aunt after a stroke 1, 5 month ago. Full of hope for recovery

[chillwithjatin]

Thank you Tara! Very easy to understand and packed with info. Yes, I would be interested in hearing your upcoming video on antioxidants.

[ChristineMinogue]

i like your thinking. Homeostasis key word. Nice job.

[Dennie-gt]

Thank you. Stopped drinking alcohol about a year ago. Next stop- smoking ❤

[elizabethrash]

I’m so impressed with your preparation and delivery of comprehensive, evidenced base information presented in an understandable way. Terrific analogies and graphics. I’ve added back dairy in the form of plain nonfat Greek yogurt. I know or think the research on dairy doesn’t differentiate type of dairy— yogurt is still dairy 🙁. Have you run across anything different? Or on over-exercising effects on Ox stress. Thank you so much 🙌

[cjnthn]

Very educational video to watch.. thank you!

[johnhickey]

Awesome information. LHON runs in my family and is a result of too much oxidative stress. Very helpful information .

[darkodarkovic]

Thanks for the detailed descriptions, there's always something new to learn. Please, a more detailed video about the benefits of antioxidants from food or supplements, because I also found different interpretations. Thanks, have a nice week.😊

[roberts]

It was a lot of information but I was more intrested on the last sugestiones about the things to stay away and things not to do en yes if you can give us more on those topics it will be nice

Green tea is the best antioxidant for brain with high epigallo catechin content

[ryukoli]

That's why I am a SUPER RESEARCHER AND TAKE WELL THOUGHT OUT RISKS! I am the least likely person to have a HEMORRAGHIC STROKE! Never smoked; rarely drink alcohol, when I do, 1 (occasionally 2) glasses of red wine. Basically, a vegetarian AND EXTREMELY ACTIVE! NEVER particularly overweight. STRESS IS/WAS THE CULPRIT!

[fredkotthaus]

My my wow that was extremely helpful information and yes ma'am I would love to see a video on antioxidants both pros and cons. You did have me a bit worried though, when discussing things to eliminate, I thought you were going to say coffee. Alcohol and nicotine are a non issue with me I had to give them up when they put me in the nursing home/ rehabilitation center. I spent about 7 months there, that was an experience I'll never soon forget. Any way thanks a million for this video, have yourself a great rest of your week

[micheljolicoeur]

Thank you very much, very informative

[spookyvegan]

Very interesting stuff
I have a hemifacial spasm & depression that really started in 2010 I’ve had tons of tests no one can tell me why and I get Botox injections for my spasm that with or without the shots it contorts the left side of my face
I’m always interested in learning about this stuff because sadly I had to do all the research to even diagnosis myself
I do many holistic things to help control the spasms too
Like acupuncture and supplements
My biggest fear is getting a stroke or this turning into MS OR it may already be
Thank you for this video
