    Best advice I’ve gotten from Dr. Kantarci at Mayo Clinic was to not eat anything “American”, go organic, reduce stress, and exercise. I have been doing grain free, low carb as well. I do not drink milk and take a probiotic from Symbiotic 365 (wheat belly MD recommended it). MS since 1999, lesion number innumerable. My MRIs do not match my clinical presentation. I work, bike, ski, rollerblade etc. (not very fast tho! lol). Be well everyone!

    I’ve taken some recommendations from the most popular MS diets and created my own. I can’t follow a strict diet and I love a bowl with grilled chicken, veggies, brown rice, and beans. In my opinion, avoiding dairy, omega 6 oils, sugar, and sat fat are most important. However , I do enjoy ice cream and cheese occasionally without a problem. I’ve found that eggs sometimes bother my vision so I tend to avoid them as well. Most likely a case of food sensitivity for me.

    I was diagnosed two years ago. My own research brought me to this exact same conclusion. Great video, wish I'd known this two years ago lol. I enlisted a functional med doctor and we did all sorts of tests - genetic testing, full RBC, full CBC and a virus panel. Genetic testing showed a few mutations with my MTHFR genes, RBC testing showed anemia and homocysteine was high. I've always had inflammatory reactions to gluten. Virus panel showed a mold infection so I started a detox protocol but then did gastrointestinal mapping and voila, SIBO and leaky gut and it showed zero akkermansia which is the bacteria responsible for the mucosal lining of your intestines. We stopped the detox to fix my gut as the gut issues might be why I couldn't clear mold from my system. Currently rebuilding my gut with probiotics and pre biotics. I have a theory that the MTHFR issues contributed to leaky gut and the combination of that and gluten intolerance created underlying inflammation. All I needed after that was a trigger to develop MS. The diet outlined by Embry makes complete sense. I've been on a diet that is gluten free, sugar free, seed oil free and legume free. I limit nightshades and the only dairy I consume is a splash of cream in my coffee. I don't eat any packaged or processed foods. Anecdotally my MRIs have been stable, no new lesions and I've seen zero progression. I'm not on a DMT as given my age of 55 and my lack of disability my neurologist didn't want to put me on ocrevus (the only DMT allowed in Canada for PPMS). 2 years isn't long but so far so good.

    I follow the Mediterranean diet, which includes gluten and dairy. I feel that this is the best sustainable diet for me that offers a healthy balance. The Best Bet Diet is too restrictive for me and the thought of following something so strict stresses me out! If this diet works for Matt, then good for him.

  • @inflationRefugee

    Matt’s story is great.
    I was diagnosed at 18 and couldn’t walk for months. Major foot drop and dozens of lesions.
    Luckily I had a full recovery.
    I am 31 now and been on no medication since the start and doing well with little to no symptoms.
    I just take vit D and try to have no sugar with lots of walking and weight lifting.
    Specialists and neurologists keep trying to get me on treatments but something just doesn’t feel right about trying those without knowing if they actually help.

    Matt consistently shares research on social media and mischaracterizes the findings to support his diet. He also shares opinions on DMTs that are intellectually dishonest. His recent promotion of a supplement as “life changing” should cause anyone to question his claims of being “symptom free.” He is very focused on physical activity evidencing this fact without noting possible ms related cognitive decline.

    I wish diet was a panacea. Does having a healthy diet help? Heck yes. But so does staying well-hydrated. My diet is pretty good. I take supplements. I do my best to stay well-hydrated. I find a low-fat diet actually makes me feel worse. Despite my best efforts, progression of MS still continues albeit slowly. I find it troubling when people say they have no symptoms on a particular diet when it could just be the track of their disease. We never really know if it's the diet, or just their body.

      Well said. I'm trying both Carnivore Diet and Whal's Protocol. For Me, Whal's Protocol works better. Plus: Combined my own research with what many are saying, using the 3 primary Tinctures; Black Walnut, Wormwood, liquid Cloves, and my own research; Liquid Stevia, and now Chincona Bark, which has Quinine within the bark, which I am chewing a piece nightly. As a result, I Am improving. Not a cure, but noticing Improvement across the board. Went to Walmart, didn't need my cane, just kept it with me, and wasn't tired and out of energy as was usual over the last year or so. Everything this definitely helping to reduce all the existing signs and symptoms. Optic Neuritis slowly improving; I can see once again; limited but improving..

    I've been going through videos about Matt and have yet to understand his full diagnostic story. He was diagnosed in 1995. This was very early in the definition of the current diagnosis techniques via MRI and current protocols. It was before the update of the McDonald Criteria. How many attacks did he have before and since diagnosis and how many lesions did he have at diagnosis and how many has he accrued since diagnosis? I'm trying to determine if he is properly classed as CIS vs MS.

    • @melodiehill1781
      @melodiehill1781 Před měsícem

      He had multiple brain and spine lesions. Even with the new criteria hi believe he would still be considered MS and not CIS. I was dx with CIS with only one spine lesion. If one pops up in my brain it will be dx MS. So if anything, it seems the criteria is more strict.

    I've got to say I'm a little disappointed that you didn't provide a little criticism for the fact that they recommend low whole grains despite the fact that, as you've said on an earlier video, more whole grains are associated with a better outcome with MS. You have so much authority as an MS neurologist so people will take your advice on any diet (even if you're not actively recommending it) as long as you present it in a positive light

    • @DrBrandonBeaber
      @DrBrandonBeaber  Před 23 dny

      I was trying to be relatively neutral. My opinion is there is no strong evidence in favor of a specific MS diet. For instance, if you were to ask me if the best bet diet is better or worse than the Wahls protocol or OMS, I would have to admit I don't know.

    • @catherineeASMR
      @catherineeASMR Před 23 dny +1

      @@DrBrandonBeaber Forgive my impertinence (especially as I'm so so grateful for your videos and the work you do) but without making your opinion about there being no strong evidence in favour of these diets more obvious, simply spotlighting these diets with an entire video dedicated to them, and cherry picking the science that appears to support them without citing any critical literature in the opposite direction, really does come across as a recommendation. By showcasing "the science" behind these diets it makes it seem like the science is unquestioned and a gold standard explanation for why people with MS shouldn't eat any of the things on that list, because you're sharing it as a doctor. And the thing is if you were to add all of the things we "shouldn't eat" from all the popular MS diets together we would genuinely starve (especially in light of the recent carnivore MS trend).

    • @DrBrandonBeaber
      @DrBrandonBeaber  Před 23 dny

      @@catherineeASMR I could do the same thing for my video on OMS. For instance, the nurses health study did not show any association between dairy consumption and MS. When you say I could "cite critical scientific literature in the opposite direction," what would this be? I would argue there isn't any (mostly weak epidemiologic studies). At 6:57, I do mention there is not a strong epidemiologic link between wheat consumption and MS. I also specifically say at the end of the video that to my knowledge there are no published observational or randomized trials on the best bet diet. My genuine opinion is regardless of your opinion of Matt and Ashton Embry, there is no valid scientific reason to criticize this diet more than any other diet.

      ​@@DrBrandonBeaber Apologies if I wasn't clear, I meant when reviewing any MS diet! I don't have a vendetta against this particular one. Perhaps just examples which show that the science really isn't conclusive for any (as you clarified yourself here, I just think think it didn't come across in the video) - e.g. they note soy as a 'definitely do not eat' food when I've read a couple of papers on soy being associated with positive outcomes (and of course there is evidence in the other direction too). I'm also really cynical about the whole "it's got a similar DNA sequence to myelin so you shouldn't have it" advice, but that's just my opinion and a side note really. I think just sharing examples like that, that while there is some evidence to support some of the things these diets say to do, there's often also evidence promoting the opposite. I went through quite a bad period of depression because I felt like every food was killing me when I ate (I have very very active MS so was trying to cut out everything that anyone said to try and gain some semblance of control over it, which didn't work) because of all the different diets which provided "science" as to why you should avoid each component and was pretty much just left with a few vegetables, fruits, and a few non-gluten grains (despite Wahls being a 0 grain diet, and Dr. (I hesitate to call him that) Gundry saying no quinoa) because I don't eat meat anyway. It was hell. I'm sorry to have taken up your time Dr. Beaber, I definitely didn't mean to waste it like I have

And with high amounts of steroids I am on a very specialized diet to lesson the bone density loss of minerals and liver. Diet is commonly charged for the duration of steroids..... if you could do a talk on the metabolic system in general. No processed flour , no refigned sugar, no salt, no restaurant food, on alchohol no caffeine..... only hole fruit, leen protein in limited amounts. Spices ok but no salt. GI track is all messed up. Lots of urin frequently and smaller stool.

      DMTs don’t have long term clinical trials. They mostly conclude that DMTs = less lesions but disability seems to be the same regardless but with a DMT you get horrible side effects! Lots of folks show “no new lesions” but have worsening disability so I’m not sure that lesion count really matters.

      @@melodiehill1781 have you heard of the leaking pool model of MS? Its interesting, Dr Aaron Boster has a video about it.
      How can high efficacy DMTs like Ocrelizumab have long term clinical trials yet if they only have been around for a couple of years?
      Also, I can of course only speak for myself, but my personal experience with side effects under ocrevus is zero. I simply have none. I don’t understand the fear-mongering about the „horrible“ side effects when the alternative is literal brain damage.
      The way I see it, Medicine has always had elements of experimentation, that’s why we‘re so advanced today. But luckily, the efficacy and safety of these drugs is well studied now, so we‘re not tapping in the dark.

    This is very interesting and thank you for explaining it to us. I'm going to stick to my Tysabri and just eat relatively healthy. I guess if DMTs didn't work for me this would be something I'd look into. With no randomized control trials, and no MS neurologists telling me this will most likely work, I'm going to probably keep eating dairy and gluten occasionally.
    I still can't think of a video I really want, you've covered so much. I am curious about viruses. I know you did one on EBV. I'm really interested in how different they all can be from each other and their effects on us. How am I JCV- yet I have a titer (whatever that is) that's not 0.000. so do I have the virus or no? Another thought is we're all told the amount of lesions doesn't matter... But as we age brain atrophy can make those spots more difficult to divert. Wouldn't the amount of lesions actually matter since our brains shrink quicker? These are probably not video worthy. I'll keep trying to think of a better one.
    Thanks again Dr. Beaber!!!

      Go and ask a nutritionist about dairy- you will hear how bad meat and dairy is for everyone and not just people having MS!

      @@DrBrandonBeaber That would be great. As a woman diagnosed at age 40 I really can't relate to guys diagnosed in their youth as the disease course is very different when you are diagnosed when you are young and resilient. Also the gender/hormones also play a role. A study of more of the "average" diagnosed would be very helpful- women Dx between 30 and 45 that are at least 15 years post-diagnosis would be more typical of the MS population.

      I would say the overall evidence suggests ultraviolet radiation (rather than heat and vitamin D) may reduce the risk of MS due to direct effects on immune cells. More info here: czcams.com/video/f0DqKB_L6-o/video.html
