Don't you have a list of people you know who will do this correctly?? I can't find them!!

Even when they say they know what I'm talking about they don't seem to know what I'm talking about, even though they are trained in functional medicine!! I ask if they use a paleolithic diet that is tailored to my particular nutritional deficiencies, they say yes, but then in practice they give the same paleolithic diet to everyone and add supplements. I even went to a practitioner who has your book, knows what you teach, and she gave me a sheet, a list of foods to go by that she gave me one of the two mass produced sheets of food to eat. Everyone gets one of the two. I have been trying to find a functional medicine doctor in Southern California.

Carry raw veggies, eat soups, drink smoothies to make it easier. Eating vegetables, greens, sulfur rich and color is critical for keeping your cells happy and thriving.

Can you please refer me to your counterpart in Decatur,Ga? I cannot find anyone with your training who is accepting new patients. We currently get our prepared meals delivered through <a href="http://www.projectopenhand.org" rel="nofollow">Open Hand</a>. I couldn't convince them to offer your meal plan , but would gladly switch to a program that delivered a prepared Wahls Diet if it were available here. I have MS and my husband is a wheelchair bound BKA spinal cord injury patient. Thanking you in advance. here Hello Dr. Wahls. Can you please refer me to your counterpart in Decatur,Ga?

Back then, there was very little helpful information coming from the medical establishment. The neurologist simply said something akin to, 'your body is it's own best weapon against disease, so keeping it healthy is your best option.' Since I was always taught not to do drugs, I stayed away from those too. I've tried to stay as active as possible and eat few processed foods, including more healthy foods & supplements as I educated myself about them. Omega 3, D3, D-Ribose, Co-Q 10, Calcium w/magnesium, & a whole food vitamin supplement have remained part of my regimen for nearly 10 years. I recently added Rhodiola-rosea & have considered Cordyceps as well. We've lived on venison (with some chicken, pork, etc.) for 20+ years. If I could consume more vegetables, I think that would be best. I have kale smoothies, with lemon, ginger, & various fruits that give me a boost. My vision has been most affected, with my legs giving me more trouble lately--so I've been trying to step things up, so I'm in good shape when I hit 50. Any suggestions? We often have nuts & fresh fruits for snacks, but it's hard to stay on a vegetable rich diet when we're always on the run. We enjoy soups in the winter, but I know the veggies are best raw. More suggestions are welcome. Thank you for an amazingly helpful website & for what you are doing to help other with auto-immune issues. Dr. Wahls,
