How I've stayed MS Relapse Free for Over a Year!! | Ways to beat Multiple Sclerosis

- So I have now been relapse free over the past year after having a really active disease in the few months before that. So I put this down largely to the changes that I have made to my life to counteract the pathways within the body that create the MS disease. This includes things like diet, stress, lifestyle which is what I cover in this video.

Let me know what you are currently doing to fight off MS and if you have any questions at all, as I would love to help if anyone is struggling at all!
I’ve been on the Wahls diet! It has completely changed me around!!
Ah that's great to hear Yattie! Glad it has worked for you. That diet is essentially a step further from The Best Bet diet as she first adopted the Best Bet diet then went another step to make it even more extreme as her MS had already progressed pretty far and she needed to turn it around. Do you find it difficult/ restrictive doing the diet? Or like me do you feel like you get used to it pretty quick?
Great share, very helpful info. Looking forward to your next videos...!
Ah great thanks Lora, glad the video was of value to you! 🙌🏻
Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
No problems glad you enjoyed it! :)
All the best to you. Doing all the same things, Diet, exercise, Wim Hof, Coldwater, Supplements and I am on Ocrevus. Diagnosed almost 1 year ago but thankfully as a result of all the things mentioned in your video I feel good. Hope others listen and try the things you are doing
That's great to hear that you are doing similar things and it has worked well for you also! What diet specifically are you on?
Congratulations 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you! Hopefully it can continue!
Thank u for sharing your tips
Finding your channel was one of the best things I did in the last months. I was diagnosed about one year ago and have not been on any meds since then. I follow Coimbra Protocol and my doctor basically recommends the same things and supplements you mentioned in this video. I hope everything goes alright with you!!!
Hey Hector, ah I’m so glad my channel has been beneficial to you!! But yes that’s really interesting with the Coimbra Protocol, I have considered extending my supplements to have much higher dose vitamin D because of that protocol and the evidence there is there. Has it largely benefited you then?
@@tomgarbett77 Hi Tom! It has brought me many benefits. I haven't had any relapses since I started last June. You can safely increase your vitamin D to 10,000 IU's per day. But larger doses I would recommend doing it with a doctor trained in the Protocol. Now, I've been taking 100,000 IU's per day but my doctor requires many blood and urine tests to make sure everything is Okay. Dr Eric Berg made a video about this topic some weeks ago and you can watch it to have an overview about how to start. Thank you for responding me!
My diet is pretty much the same as yours, I also eat for 8 hours a day and the 16hours fast. I walk and yoga, also wimhoff breathing and some cold exposure. All this stuff is so beneficial to helping the MS :) keep going
Ah amazing sound like you are doing pretty much the same as me! Have you seen benefits with your MS then?
@@tomgarbett77 yes definitely I have , I have had ms since 2011 well symptoms then diagnosed a few years later. Ive definitely noticed my cognition has improved so much, I also was able to ride my bike something I've not been able to for 3 years :)
@@ell86fabulous36 that sounds great! Glad to hear that those changes have helped improve your condition! 🙌🏻
Amazing Tom :) A massive congratulations - definitely trying to integrate many of the same techniques, great for a healthy lifestyle in general :)
Thanks! Do you do any of the things I mention in the video as part of your day to day life? :)
@@tomgarbett77 I do 16:8 fasting now daily and plan on doing a 2-3 day fast every 2-3 weeks or so to keep the B / T cells in check. Definitely eating clean as well - try to eat fish 2-3 times a week and the rest vegetarian. Also cut sugar / alcohol / dairy straight away :) Jogging 2-3 times a week and doing weights occasionally (want to increase this though). Taking supplements including: curcumin, probiotics, vit D, Magnesium, Alpha lipoic acid, omega 3 + flax seed oil and a B vit complex. Also trying to begin with cold showers - already noticing I am getting used to them! Starting meds in 2-3 months or so after another MRI, hoping for mavenclad / ocrevus :) Great content as always btw! Definitely makes me feel like I am trying to beat MS a little by following some of these lifestyle changes.
@@__Wanderer yes what you are doing is fantastic and I’m sure will help you to keep MS at bay! Sounds very similar to me really. What meds are you starting do you know? I really do think meds on combination with your lifestyle will massively improve your prognosis!
Ah sorry I just caught you said mavenclad/ ocrevus! But yes I think they would both be good options and will do a great job in tandem with everything you are doing!
@@tomgarbett77 No worries :) definitely want to keep things as normal as possible for as long as I can :) Amazing to hear you had very little to no progression in your ms prior to starting medication! That's what worries me most really - hoping there's not any significant changes in my next mri :/ time will tell I suppose.
What about taking propionic acid on a daily basis which has been shown in a study to reduce the number of flares ( and probably disease activity ?). It
is recommended as an add on in Germany. We have got juvenile arthritis, morbus bechterew and ms in the familiy and try to deal with it as best as can. Incence capsules are also anti inflammatory, though only in rather high dose according to another study. Best wishes to you, very good channel. I hope your health will stabilize.
I had my first episode July 2nd of 2022. I was diagnosed in February of this year (wallowed a couple months of course), and haven’t had a relapse since the first. I settled on the Wahls Protocol in March. I’m on 10k IU vitamin D, vitamin k, Nicole Apelian’s mushroom tinctures, NAC, magnesium glycinate, and garlic. I’m still struggling to quit smoking and start exercising. Stress is tough.
A new paper came out showing semi essential amino acid Taurine was remylinating the brain. Also, Metformin while fasting was remylinating. Also look into the study regarding remylination and N A G N-acytle Glucosamine
I am not on a specific diet...just try to focus ons more healthy decisions. and I try to walk every day
Hey Petro. Yes that's definitely a good foundation to base it off as that is probably the most important step! Do you think you would consider adding of the things I've mentioned in the video?
@@tomgarbett77 being single on your side the whole eating thing is much easier. So yes I would love to follow a strick healthy eating plan but the finances does only allow me to eat what the rest in the house eat. Weight I can't lift.so I rather work in the garden and clean house for a lot of extra excersice
@@petro3441 yes I completely understand it can be difficult to implement a diet if you are feeding a whole household. And yes getting out in the garden and cleaning etc is all really good forms of exercise! :)
@@tomgarbett77 but thanx again for all you resources and sharing tips and tricks with us all we are one happy ms family and doctors does not know this bug like we do
@@petro3441 Yes 100% agree, that's why just got to keep sharing what works for us so we can help others with MS to control the disease. because like you say doctors don't know it half as well as we do!
Hi Tom my diet is lean poultry fish vegetables berries yogurt no special diet I agree stress free lifestyle is way to go I believe vitamins do help us a lot thank you Tom I enjoyed this video so informative and interesting keep making more 🌸
Yes sounds like you are pretty on it with diet and then stress is of course another massive factor which looks like you are on top of too :) have you got any ideas for future videos you’d like me to do?
@@tomgarbett77 Thank youTom been doing good diet and try never to get stressed about anything You can mention about how allergies set of inflammatory responses I take allergy relief only when need its helps a little I heard that even painting house worst because chemicals in paint And household cleaners so try to avoid that I have workers that do that All these things set of allergy responses How about coffe and caffeine I have organic coffee in morning not sure if it good thing with our nerves But I do like tea better what do think Tom ?
@@juliette1884 okay great thanks for that suggestion I will look into that because I do know that obviously allergens are a bad thing for people with MS. Yes I personally have tea and coffee but in moderation, because I love tea and coffee so it’s certainly worth it for me and for me makes me feel better. So it’s got to be a personal decision I think!
@@tomgarbett77 HI Tom coffee and tea makes feel better to Tea is my favorite drink all different kinds Have a wonderful weekend Tom 🌸
@@juliette1884 yes it’s definitely worth it! There are other great health benefits of tea and coffee too. But yes you have a great weekend too!
What about the Fasting Mimicking Diet? Maybe 1 a month if you didn’t notice any benefits from it or longer versions 7 instead of 5 etc. Just curious.
Hi Tom, I follow a similar diet to you and am also relapse free for a while. Also in the process of changing to a less stressful job. One thing I do still get sometimes is "pseudo-exacerbations" where old symptoms such as tingling appear when I'm too hot, stressed, exhausted etc. They always disappear in a few hours when I address what's causing the pseudo-exacerbation. Do you have any of experiences like this?
That's great to hear you are using diet and lifestyle to control the disease and have been relapse free! But yes I don;t actually seem to be effected by heat, although when I do cardio exercise I feel tingling in certain areas, which is similar to what you are suggesting. SO I think it is normal and is that in certain situations which alter the nerve conduction, it can highlight areas where there was previous damage. So it is likely something you'll ust have to live with although with the diet it may improve in time. Hope that helps!
@@tomgarbett77 Fully agree with you that it seems to be related to previous nerve damage from previous relapses. Thanks for your response and videos Tom 😊
Anyone looked at mast cells activation as one of the causes for ms?
Tom hvala na lepom savetu,kako se osecate posle terapije Ocrevusom?
Thanks for the comment! I will have to get that translated though before I can answer!!:)
@@tomgarbett77 Thenk you Tom for the nice advice,how du yu feel after Ocrevus terapy?🙂
@@ivanaveljkovic7384 ah that’s better! 😂 but yes I am feeling great now thanks, after a bit of a bad reaction initially all seems to be going well :) are you on any DMT’s?
Need to change my diet. Thinking of high fat..
@@wolfbite1 It is definitely worth trying something out and seeing what works best for you! Just make sure your fats come from healthy sources like extra virgin olive oil, avocado, coconut oil would be my advice!
Have you try near infrared sauna?
Yes that is what I do! 🙌🏻 I really enjoy it, do you take saunas?
@@tomgarbett77 I asked before finishing the video, sorry. Yes, I do love sauna!!
Can I ask you if you have ever been trought surgery? Used medication or street drug before your MS started?
@@andrespalacios6356 Ah yes they are great! No I've never had any surgery actually. And similarly no other medication or drugs, how come?
