Excellent presentation! I’ve been on the Swank diet for almost 30 years. Originally diagnosed with too many lesions to count, I’m still fully mobile and active. This is life-changing information every MSer should listen to!
Well done with this. I’ve been following OMS (basically the Swank diet with additions and modifications) for only 2.5 years and I wish I’d got to it sooner.
This is one of the most powerful and persuasive health based video I have ever seen on You Tube. Dr Stancic is a very remarkable doctor. Glad that I have seen this.
It is odd that medical schools do not yet provide enough education on good diets to med students. Thanks to this doctor for sharing her critical insights to prevent and reverse chronic diseases.
People are getting more and more interested in treating diseases with nutrition! Drugs may be needed for emergencies then try to get off them with nutrition. Love Dr William Li's lectures!
Fantastic talk, thanks for sharing! Too bad we also have to deal with the misinformation spread by the dairy/meat industry, besides better nutrition education for physicians...
Thank you for sharing your story. I have been diagnosed with Behçet’s Disease (BD) in 1987, at age 54. BD shares with MS 7 of its 11 symptoms, and is sometimes mistaken for MS. I control my BD with a selective starch and plant-based whole food diet. I have published a book about this diet, „Behçet‘s Disease/The Diet Solution.“ The book is on the internet, and my synopsis is on the back cover.
@@Marimilitarybrat I did research and found that high cortisol can cause weight gain. Someone told me that PS 100 (phosphatidylserine) helps with cortisol.

Apparently it's not the DNA change that is bad for us, it's the fact they change it's DNA so that they can withstand so much more glyphosphate so as to be resistant to pests. But glyphosphate is cancerous to humans.
Do not eat meat, eggs and dairy, then you will likely never eat any GMO crop. Those mostly go to the animals as feed. Or best, look for organic, that cannot be GMO.

It's odd that at 20:00 she states a whole foods plant based diet is the optimum diet for all of us, considering humans don't have a digestive tract optimized for eating plants. Animals don't digest plants, microbes digest plant matter in the cecum. The human cecum is tiny and those who have had an appendectomy no longer have a cecum. The function seems to have moved to the large intestine, which is hardly optimal.
we actually have digestive enzymes that go into action specifically for breaking down plants (carbs) excreted via our salivary glands ready at the mere thought of eating plants. Fiber rich foods (which are only plants) have insoluble fibers that carry nutrients (thousands of which are only found in plants) throughout the digestive track for perfect, even digestion. We're perfectly designed for eating plants from our mouth down to our microbiome because they foster the perfect type of bacteria, prevotella (into butyrate) versus bacteroides (into hydrogen sulfide) as animal flesh goes through putrefaction. The fibre, only in plants, helps flush out toxins whereas rotting animal flesh recirculates bile acids and excess sulfur containing amino acids. The heme-iron readily absorbs and oxidizes rather than being regulated as non-heme iron is. Phytosterol is so completely different our body completely eliminates it which is perfect. But oxidized cholesterol only found is animals is toxic and absorbed. So much of eating animals is toxic and yet they have on average 64 times less antioxidants that plants have to offset metabolism. Everything is pointing at we should only be eating plants actually and everything is screaming stop eating animals! So much wrong with eating animals (e.g. TMAO, mTor, Neu5gc, endotoxins, igf-1, BMAA, zoonotic diseases, etc...) and none of these things are from plants. Sure, moderation of eating animals wont kill you quick, but neither will smoking and various other drugs, hell, HIV wont kill you instantly. Does that mean you want to get it. But, even more specific, do you really want any of these in moderatation; diabetes, heart disease, neurodegenerative disease, cancer, etc? while contributing to unnecessary torture and murder to animals that were forced into existence as a commodity.
@@neofilm, you are aware we spent millions of years evolving as carnivores while other monkeys like gorillas did not? We believe we started with a digestion system like that of gorillas but over time we traded that digestive tract for a larger brain and a smaller digestive tract. Testing of ancient bones suggests during the Paleolithic our ancestors ate meat almost exclusively but during the Neolithic they developed farming and started to develop diseases like gout and tooth decay. Some medications from plants may be good for us, but a specific chemical extracted in a lab is not the same as the whole plant. A diet of only meat won't harm you and is better for the planet than a diet of cultivated crops. The meat diet requires killing the animal being eaten. The plant diet requires irrigation, fertilizer that runs off to pollute water, pesticides which kill millions of bugs and small animals annually, and tilling soil which kills additional small animals. And, of course, kills the plants that are eaten and any other plants that happen to grow in the same field. Many plants are only available to you because they travel on ships or planes, the rest travel on trucks, often thousands of miles/kilometers. There is nothing noble about eating a plant based diet. Plants don't want to be eaten by us or by other creatures and have developed protective chemistry to dissuade predators. Some of that chemistry will kill a human quickly but most will just make a human sick, and often it will take a long time for the effects to be obvious. Because we are offered such a varied food supply it can take years to determine what is making us ill. Some of us have worked out that plants are the problem. Many continue to suffer.
@@Ron_the_Skeptic there are over 20,000 edible plants. Plants benefit by being eaten because it encourages their growth. This is how plants spontaneously appear different places because they are concerned and then excreted somewhere else where seeds are dropped and the feces as fertilizer. Plants take in carbon dioxide that we exhale and they use this to synthesize energy from the Sun creating oxygen that we in turn inhale and glucose that we consume and is our preferred fuel source. This beautiful and perfectly harmonious relationship is what we've evolved from. Sure we experimented and ate animals, desperate times call for desperate measures. But we know now that eating animals is detrimental for Optimum healthspan and lifespan. It is also not sustainable on this planet for the ever-growing population of billions of humans to rely on consuming animals as this would require eating many trillions of animals which would obviously be Gravely invasive and require far more crops to feed all those animals than it would crops to feed people. The symbiotic relationship between humans and plants is perfect. Eating animals on the other hand is just destructive. There's no symbiotic relationship there at all. When we raise animals for consumption they don't produce oxygen they produce methane, nitrous oxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and waste as a result, over two gigatons worth (2.2GT), more than all food combined that we consume (1.5GT) on a global scale. And then there's all of the other problems that come with eating animals such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria that leads to superbugs, as well as all of the zoonotic diseases, and then of course the health implications such as many of the leading causes of premature death, shortened healthspan, and the enormous health care cost that accompany all of this.
@@VeganLinked, the plants don't want to be eaten, they may want their fruit to be eaten and distributed as you suggest. Typically the fruit is least harmful to humans and other animals. We didn't experiment and eat animals, we spent 2 million years eating animals, almost exclusively. That's why we have a brain 3 times larger than other primates and a much smaller cecum. Growing plants for human consumption is sucking up huge amounts of water and is even less sustainable than raising cows and sheep.

Great video.thank you xden

I got sick from stress so I left my job. I had high blood sugar and protein in my urine. Stress is really a killer. It's just not worth it.
Sheri JK, You bet. I am a hospice nurse and I've gained over 25 pounds in the past two years. Stress is certainly part of the weight gain.
@@Marimilitarybrat I did research and found that high cortisol can cause weight gain. Someone told me that PS 100 (phosphatidylserine) helps with cortisol.

I have a problem with GMO grain products. Tinkering with the DNA of plant proteins does not seem natural at all.
