MS in the NEWS

A low-carb, high-fat diet may improve symptoms in MS patients.

5/5/2022

​Once again, there’s more clinical evidence that dietary interventions can positively impact the course of many autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). 
In a recent study at the University of Virginia, researchers found that following a low-carbohydrate, high-fat protocol like the “keto diet” reduced the symptoms of neurologic disability, fatigue, and depression in patients with relapsing-remitting MS. Additionally, the study participants noted a “heightened overall quality of life,” reporting that their performance also improved on select physical endurance testing.1
 
Results were monitored in the laboratory at the start of the trial and again at three and six months; tests confirmed adherence to the diet by measuring the ketones, which is a metabolite that the body produces when it is burning fats – a hallmark of a keto-type diet. A total of 83% of the original 65 participants adhered to the diet for the full term of the study period. Scientists also found that study participants had less body fat at the end of the trial as well as decrease in depression and fatigue, with an improvement in disability scores. And laboratory testing showed a reduction in inflammatory markers in subjects’ blood samples.2
 
The basics of a keto diet.
Picture
We recently wrote about the effects of dietary choices on disease progression, and the value of following a program that emphasizes HEALTHY vs. saturated fats, fresh, non-starchy vegetables, and lean proteins with minimal carbohydrate consumption
The keto diet is founded upon these guidelines and has been shown to be beneficial in reducing blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes, which is also an inflammatory-based condition.
​
Patients, with their doctor’s guidance, may enjoy a variety of:
  • Lean proteins such as fish, chicken, eggs, and limited red meats (red meat can cause inflammation in some patients).
  • Healthy fats including olive oil, avocados and avocado oil, some butter and cream although we often recommend limiting dairy consumption.
  • Fresh, leafy greens such as spinach and lettuces, broccoli, celery, asparagus and similar produce. 
  • Nuts and seeds (excluding prepared items like trail mix or packaged granolas)
 
There are additional tenets of a keto diet that may or may not be appropriate when following this type of plan in the management of a disorder like MS – so it’s doubly important to talk to your practitioner before eliminating any foods or making drastic dietary changes! But keto or other monitored protocols may be helpful as part of a total therapeutic approach only if you eliminate the detrimental things like highly processed, commercially prepared snacks and foods that typically contain saturated fat, excess sodium, preservatives, chemical additives, and a lot of “empty” calories.

While additional research is definitely warranted to learn how keto diets may be a helpful tool in MS protocols, this latest study does present with very interesting and hopeful findings. If you have questions or need to schedule an appointment, just reach out to our offices – we’re here to help!
 
In health and healing,

I am David Sarah, Before I was scammed, I thought those who fell for them were fools, but when I lost $40k in a binary options scam, I didn't even know it had happened until weeks later. The site and services I used seemed so genuine, and everything felt legit, but when they stopped answering my emails and messages, that's when I knew something was up. I was going to accept defeat until a friend advised me to contact Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery Service of which I did, they were incredibly helpful and worked hard to get all my money back. I'd highly recommend them to anyone who has been swindled of their currency.

I can’t believe this's really true because I never believe there is cure to this herpes2 virus because all the hospitals have told me there is no cure to it, a few months ago I came across this site on the internet with several messages shared by people who has got rid of herpes virus with the help of herbal medication from a herbal man. I contacted this man through his website and asked for his help also, he informed me about the cure process and this man sent me a herbal medicine from Namibia which I took according to the way he instructed for weeks. I can’t believe when I go for a test my result comes out negative after all the symptoms have gone. I am so happy to share this to the world there is real cure to herpes you can also contact DR EXCEL through his website https://excelherbalcure.com or his WhatsApp number +1 [204] 480 7423
