If I had your symptoms, this is absolutely the first thing I would do: http://drfuhrman.com/ask/default.aspx He makes it easy to get started by email & phone. Then, as needed, he's only an hour flight or an 8 hour drive from you. He has an incredible track record helping 10,000 people with all kinds of problems who hadn't found relief any other way. As an M.D., he can adjust your drug regimen and as a natural healer…

HN discussionEnjoyed reading your post about your success with a WFPB diet as well as the followup comment. Thanks for posting them! Liked your dynamic slow cooker approach to variations. I should try that. Sad to see your informative and insightful comment modded down. Just goes to show how problematical discussion of all this can be. The issue is not so much ignorance as decades of (often profit-driven) misinformation. Peter C…

HN discussionA cure for much arthritis is possibly a Nutritarian Diet promoted by Dr. Joel Fuhrman which reduces inflammation and helps the body rebuild: https://www.drfuhrman.com/blog/119/a-progressive-approach-to... "The traditional treatment of rheumatoid arthritis revolves around medications which typically include steroids and chemotherapeutic agents such as methotrexate, Imuran®, Gold®, Plaquenil®, Arava® and Remicade®.

HN discussionYou make a great point. To support your point, consider the "FIRE" movement for early retirement, and essays like: "How I live on $7,000 per year" http://earlyretirementextreme.com/how-i-live-on-7000-per-yea... Frugality opens up a lot of lifestyle options. Although even given the $7000 a year, this person seems to have a lot of capital in a sense of goods, education, health, and relationships. That said, there are…

on “Amazon grows to over 750k robots, replacing 100k humans”As someone who has lost a lot of weight on a diet that is actually healthy as opposed to a hack, I protest your protest. I eat mostly the things at the top of the chart (though not the soda/milk/meat) and lost about 4 lbs a week until I leveled out at a normal weight without compromising my nutrition. [1] Some good resources: http://www.drfuhrman.com/shop/ETLBook.aspx [1] That said, we both agree that that kind of s…

on “What Does 200 Calories Look Like?”While that may be the dominant theory it doesn't appear to be true. I follow a doctor out of NJ who uses dietary intervention to successfully treat a lot of diseases most doctors will say are "incurable", including ulcerative colitis, IBS, lupus, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes (the adult onset type). He has an entire newsletter devoted to the following: Inflammatory Bowel Disease – Aggresive dietary m…

on “A year without caffeine (part 2)”Joel Fuhrman http://www.drfuhrman.com/ is one of a number of medical doctors who promote a coordinated attack on the causes of bad health like heart disease, rather than relying on reducing one or two indicators. Neal Barnard is another such doctor http://www.nealbarnard.org/ In North America, both of these doctors have shows on PBS a couple of times a year, in the weekday evenings and they generally run as part of…

on “Avoiding Heart Disease”Joe Cross' "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead 2" movie has some good points about how much a supportive community can make a difference in healthy eating. "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead 2 - Official Trailer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSfQbigRlJY Blue Zones is helping communities transform themselves into healthier places by adding sidewalks, parks, healthier menu choices, walking groups, and so on. https://www.bluezones.com/…

on “Having a successful career with depression, anxiety and imposter syndrome”Sure. Basically just this guy's work: http://www.drfuhrman.com/ I eat beans, fruit, and vegetables, and that's basically it. No starchy vegetables (i.e., potatoes, squash), and occasional nuts and seeds. No meat, grains, salt, sugar, alcohol, or pretty much anything other than fruits, vegetables, and beans. In addition to losing weight, I lost 100 points of cholesterol and also saw improvements in my blood pressure,…

on “The Software Developer’s Guide to Fitness & Morning Productivity”Well put, as far as your point goes on positive aspects of multidimensional valuation. There is another aspect of these multiple dimensions that has little to do with positive product quality as most people perceive it, unfortunately. Capital (fiscal or social) spent on advertising, free samples, dumping, bribery of reviewers, lobbying about legislation, questionable lawsuits about patents and copyrights (e.g. SCO's…

on “The case for eating steak and cream”The primary thrust of the article seems to be that because (1) the American Association for Cancer Research conference had a very small number of sessions on diet and cancer, and (2) a single follow-up study in 2007 concluded there was little link between diet and cancer that it must be true. This is only one view and hardly comprehensive. If you read http://www.drfuhrman.com/library/vegetables_cancer.aspx by Joel F…

on “Diet Drugs Work: Why Won’t Doctors Prescribe Them?”Yes I agree, concerning that I have been following this debate for a couple of years now. And you just don't find independent studies that claim that meat is healthy. The WHO and similar organizations are extremely conservative, so if they adopted this stance concerning meat its because there was some solid science to back it up. I mean, they knew how people would react, and probably delayed this recommendation for…

on “How Many Silicon Valley Startup Executives Are Hopped Up On Provigil?”I knocked off about 25-ish pounds using the 'eat to live' approach and I still seem to be losing although I'm not as orthodox as when I first started. It's basically a plant-based whole foods diet focusing on low fat / low salt / high nutrient density. The book is worthwhile but I don't know about any of the other stuff that Dr Joel Fuhrman sells. You don't even really need the book as you can find enough web resour…

Best of luck with managing MS.
