These are some of the resources I’ve used in the last few years as I’ve recovered from MS. I hope you can find them useful as well! – Dr. Wahls

Day 6 Bicycles.
They have several advantages for someone with MS or other health issues. First, a Day 6 Bicycle is an upright recumbent, meaning that you have a backrest. Second, you can put both feet on the ground while sitting on the bicycle. Third, you can add an electric motor, which drives the chain, not the wheel hub. That means you can maintain an aerobic workout by pedaling and using the electric motor to provide a little extra power going up hills. I have added the electric motor to my bike, which has made bicycling to work possible. I pedal hard so I get a good workout, but I also use the motor to augment my pedaling so I can get to work in 25 minutes rather than an hour.
Direct MS is a nonprofit organization devoted to examining the link between diet and multiple sclerosis.
Green matcha tea is an excellent source of polyphenols, chlorophyll, and minerals. Matcha tea supports detoxification and healthier mitochondria.
This site provides information about the Institute for Functional Medicine. Here you can likely find physicians and other providers (worldwide!) who also believe that MS is a result of the interaction between toxic exposures, infections, food allergies, genetics, and individual stressors.
Dr. Terry Wahls is best known for her work in using diet and lifestyle interventions to manage MS, a condition she’s been diagnosed with herself. As a clinical professor, an author, and a speaker, she educates the public and medical community about the healing power of the Paleo diet and therapeutic lifestyle changes that improve the health and vitality of autoimmune, neurologic, and chronically diseased patients. Through her work, Dr. Wahls aims to shift the standard care for autoimmune patients and create an epidemic of health.
