Hi all,

I have been reading up about Mitochondria and the importance they play in good health and how reversing damage to done to them through Lyme (as well as many other diseases) could help you heal. I'm sure many of you are familiar with Terry Wahls, the Doctor who reversed her MS by eating 9 cups of different veggies a day.

Just thought I'd post this article about Mitochondria, how to keep them healthy, what supplements to take and diet tips.

Let me know if any of you have tried the Wahls protocol or if you have any thoughts on it.

:)

Thanks for this great link!

It was interesting for me to note that the article was written by Pamela Weintraub - fellow Lymie (along with her family), science journalist and author of "Cure Unknown".

I am aware of at least one member following the Wahls protocol.

We use a modified version of Wahl's/PerfectHealthDiet (which allows cooked and cooled white rice and white potatoes as carbohydrate). We don't eat our greens raw, but wilt them a bit. Lots of vegetables (Brussels sprouts, broccoli, carrots, garlic, homemade sauerkraut, liver, pastured eggs, pastured butter, coconut oil, olive oil, wild fish, lamb. At least 1 apple per day, beets and greens for breakfast.

This is a great site. This woman has healed herself from lyme/co using Buhner and Wahls:

Is there a link with Wahl's protocol somewhere, I can't find it?
Or if it possible that someone sends me his or her notes.
It sounds great to me, because of a lot of veggies.

On Amazon you can buy the used paperback book "The Wahl's Protocol" for 8 bucks.

I have not found the protocol online but I haven't super looked, just did a cursory look and it seems that the book is the complete way to find answers.

Rowingmom that sounds awesome. That is the kind of diet I am trying to adopt.

Blueberry I haven't found it either, but search Ted talk Terry wahls she does a talk on it and explains the food she eats. It's a simple diet. Organic meat veggies and berries. She explains more in detail about what vegetables specifically are good for your mitochondria. 3 cups of leafy greens a day, 3 cups of sulfur rich veggies (broccoli cauliflower cabbage, and 3 cups of brightly coloured veggies or fruit for antioxidants.

I highly recommend the site! She addresses infection, parasites, detoxing and nutritional deficiency which are issues for everyone on this forum.

I wasn't able to log on to the site...but found her Facebook page and a few blog posts... looks promising! http://www.healthrising.org/blog/2013/12/26/minding-mitochondria-terry-wahls-brain-repair-regiment-return-health/

Intersting to me, to realize, perhaps the effects of the years of medications for treating PTSD, some of it may have damaged mitochondria.

Interesting.

I have one quetstion. Do you steam vegetables or eat everything raw according to Wahl's protocol?
Posted 8/6/2016 9:39 PM (GMT 0)
We steam or wilt the majority of goiterogens (cruciferous), but also eat raw kale, cabbage and other vegetables in salad. I haven't been able to eat a raw beet yet.

I have some testing results that points to Mito damage/complications. Might explane why I still have fatigue and compromised muscle recovery resulting in muscle aches - better but not gone.

Was hoping my greatly improved glucose levels (fixed without diabetic diet or drugs) would improve the energy and aches, but has not yet.

Tried all this stuff: Acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, D-ribose, resveratrol, and magnesium aspartate (well...mag glycinate), but not N-acetylcysteine; ...no difference.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine made my brain hyper, not good! Like a lot of caffeine, it was unnatural nervous energy.

A muscle biopsy might be in my future to see what's going on or NOT going on there.
