🎶 Happy belated Birthday Dr. B. 🎂 🎶 Hope you had an awesome day. Thank you again for these very informative KZbin videos.I feel that more research should be done on the correlation between gut health and MS (and other autoimmune / immunocompromised diseases). I definitely want to change my eating habits to help with my MS symptoms. Keep up the great work.

I wish there was more emphasis on diet for MS and to prevent illness in general!! Other than my dairy free coffee creamer, I went from a “vegetable” in a hospital bed who couldn’t walk, talk, see, feed myself, bathe myself, etc for MONTHS to in patient at a rehab, stan Cassidy rehab in Fredericton, to living independently and becoming a software developer through changing my diet to beans and veggies and fruit and nuts and oats, potato’s etc, stopping smoking, starting to excerise and living fully independently. Then I got rid of the stressful ppl in my life lol. You heal 100% from the inside out . I’m not a doctor. I’m just living proof. Doctors seriously need to spend an additional year in school to learn basics about nutrition. They would save so many more lives ❤ Thank you for this video.

[@BrinleyBlogette]

Oh, I don’t drink anymore. My brain is too important. Mayyyyybe a glass of wine at Christmas. I also fast until lunch too 😊

[@Jess-kn8vl]

Great inspiring story! I think cutting out toxic people helps with quitting smoking too!

[@MatidaJane]

I am 86 and have had MS since I was 19. I come from Scotland and moved to Sydney Australia in 1948 when I was 11. Our diet has always been real food we cook everything from scratch. I have always drunk a lot of water to everyone’s amusement. And to this time I have not used any medication for my MS. So I am thinking it was all that water. I love your videos.

Then I had the most excruciating pins and needles that knocked me back into my office after I had had word that my cousin only had 6 months to live. That has left me with a painful area under my left breast I also have a problem with my left leg and use a walker these day.

Bravo Dr. Boster!! It is so refreshing to hearing an MD talk about diet and nutrition to help manage disease.

[@AaronBosterMD]

Thank you!

[@KaitCervi]

My medical school education consisted of 2 nutrition related lectures. There is SO much to treach/ learn in medical school and it certainly needs to focus on treatment but there is definitely a component of preventative medicine that is lacking.

[@MichelleSears]

I totally agree! It most certainly does help.

[@tracierenshaw]

too right its great to hear

[@1dpeixoto]

It made me so upset when ( a doctor) told me : No matter what you do to your body ( dieting) it’s not going to change your diagnosis 😨. Thank you dr. B for being here for us 😀🙏

[@epieg07]

I have MS and am currently blind in my right eye (optic neuritis), and last year I decided to give up gluten and do intermittent fasting. I have lost 85 pounds and feel amazing. Also I’m not on any meds.

[@noura213]

How long do you Have ms

[@coleas2]

Thanks for the info. I've had MS for over 30 years and apart for a major attack when I was 27 and had to goto hospital for a week and had steroids to stabilise it I have been very stable and can walk without help. I use tecfidera and my body handles it well. MS is now a part of my life and I work with it and dont do things that will aggravate it. One good this about my week in hospital is I quit smoking cold Turkey and now can't stand the smell 😂

That's almost my story. I'm happy for you!

[@AASA76]

@@noura213Do you have MS?

[@kellio8087]

I dont know if my symptoms were related to MS but I do know that I was experiencing debilitating issues that I was able to fix using an anti-inflammatory diet. Over 2 years ago, I had been experiencing chronic stress for 1 year from a prior job. I was overeating to cope. Eventually I ended up with irritability, depression, swollen belly, eye spasms, leg cramps and twitches, hypertension, fatigue, breathing problems and even got Bell's Palsey where half of my face was paralyzed for 1 month. My "15 minute " GP doctor just prescribed anti-depressants. I didn't think that was going to solve the actual problem so I did my own research to save myself. I assumed I must have had lots of inflammation in my body and possibly issues with my nervous system. I also thought maybe I had a leaky gut. I chose an anti-inflammatory diet, focused on foods that calmed my heart rate like magnesium, foods that heal the gut and supplemented to heal my nervous system. After a month or so, I noticed my symptoms were getting better. The only symptom that happens occasionally is the breathing episodes but when it does happen, its kinda bad. Doctors ive seen can't tell me what's causing them, so I don't know how to fix it. Every time I suggest to people to eat an anti-inflammatory diet and the importance of keeping stress low, they dont seem to think much of it.

[@Jess-kn8vl]

This is unbelievable in today's world they cannot link diet and other inflammatory exposure to health. They blame cigarettes and wipe their hands.

[@mlconley]

There are literally billions of dollars at stake here. Can't risk people getting well their own.

[@adixon9498]

I was first raw for 2 years and then “raw before 4” followed by a vegan meal for 6 years- I have had MS for 12 years but no one would know it. I don’t take medication, I will moving forwards but I haven’t so far so diet for me has been 100% the reason why- when I have crisps or chocolate I feel it. Neuros I have seen don’t ever make that connection so I appreciate this!

[@tracierenshaw]

I love raw, but by golly Im not so creative and I sure love creatives sweet souls who can prep and make. Im a cucumber, apple, red pepper raw girl, does that make me lazy, haha alittle maybe but well fed lazy gal giggles

[@heathergeiselbrecht8728]

I went raw vegan and felt great, until I had the worst relapse ever. Diet alone will not slow down the progression of this disease. Everyone's disease progresses differently. I'm glad you are doing well.

[@Jess-kn8vl]

​@@heathergeiselbrecht8728Did you have a stressful event? Im curious if stress triggers relapses.

[@deardra5619]

I was a vegan for 5 years. I did a lot of organic juicing. Lots of fruits and vegetables. Then, I had low pulse rate/heart problems. I went back to eating eggs and salmon. My pulse is much better but still low. I introduced milk products, and it seems to make my hands' feet numb. I'm trying to figure it out now. Be careful to get enough protein for muscles and heart.

[@TerryJ-ou3wd]

I was diagnosed 40 yrs ago. By not overeating has helped manage my symptoms. Drinking lots of water and exercising is a bonus, it does wonders for your physical and mental health. Gut health is extremely important. Excellent recommendations. Happy Belated Birthday!

[@pamepittagros]

It's not over looked, it's ignored. I have asked 3 neurologist. All 3 words, "It doesn't matter." Before I started to do research, I was cutting my sugar before getting diagnosed with MS, so I quickly noticed more sugar, more MS symptom. Yet, tell all said, "No diet change is needed." Also, not all probiotics are equal.

[@FasterFaster196]

Those Dr's are wrong.

[@mlconley]

@@FasterFaster196not about right or wrong. It's "Do what we tell you or we'll revoke your license and ruin you" And who is we? Who makes billions from diseases?

[@alexandrafiscu5732]

Thank you, Aaron ! I am a gastroenterologist MD and I got the news about my ms a week ago, I think I have been struggling with it since I was 16. And it is ok, it is not burnout, anxiety and somatisation, it is ms. Thank you for the content in you videos. You are fantastic! Thank you again! Salutations from Romania!

[@yalcinozer4434]

Thanks for great content. I had a friend who has MS, and he kept that as a secret for a long time. He was visiting doctor frequently, he had some balance issues time to time. Then one day he opened about the issue. I hope a cure for all auto-immune disease explored one day.

[@michaelkurtz1967]

This is one of your better videos. Many people don't understand the idea of making food from scratch because it can be much healthier than alternatives if prepared correctly. Possible some of these people have soy allergies and do not realize it. Soy is in most all processed food and most pharmaceutical products.

[@margaretfoley1247]

I’ve adopted a keto lifestyle for ten years . Feel fantastic at 60 years young . I have more energy than in my thirties. No medication ,no health issues .

[@tractordan933]

Found your channel while researching alternative methods of treating my life long journey with MS. Being retired I consider myself "out of market" as far as taking current medications is concerned. Very refreshing to hear you discus beneficial health information.

[@cindysauer4103]

I fast from Sunday 6 pm and fast until Tuesday morning when I have a big protein breakfast. Then I eat from the edges of the grocery store anything I want, as much as I want until 2 pm. Then I fast again until the next morning. I learned to eat like that from Quick Weight Loss diet and dropped 70 lbs. The next year after I lost the weight I was diagnosed. Yes, I fall off the wagon sometimes, but I know I feel better. And what I eat or don't eat is entirely up to me. Nobody's poking food in this pie hole but me.

[@CoachingBucket]

My wife has tried the Terry Walls protocol and the Pam Bartha diet and both have worked incredibly well for her

[@ninpo9]

In UK neurologist say dont take salt or bad fats only & MS nurse says UK has no studies on how foods affect us but I notice certain foods bring on my pulses/flares/fatigue etc.

[@mariaa6918]

Super ....you are the only doctor to delve into diet. My chiropractor has been my go to for diet advice for over 20 years. Injecting copaxone since 2018 but diagnosed in 1995! I dont eat processed foods, dont like the texture. Love fruit and veg and i love water. I swig 3 litres a day.....my sight is letting me down at the moment. I am doing absolutely everything i can, to help myself. I never want to be a burden to others......keep educating the public, talks are fantastic...many thanks Aaron

Bravo Dr Boster. All very good advice. I have PPMS and basically followed all your recommendations and more. My MS has not progressed in 10 years, my neurolgist’s words. I have taken no meds and lost 90 pounds. I feel great, I live a full life and I’m happy. The extras are no gluten, dairy, seed oils, eggs, grains or pulse. Lots of vegetables, some fruits, nuts, seeds, the only meat I eat is pasture raised and wild fish,

Little did I know I've been giving you a birthday gift for the last 5 years. I love eating cleanly. True I love to crunch something more than celery, love carrots and only a couple of low salt tortilla chips once in awhile. I've had m.s. for 43 years so I've had time to jump on board as recommendations occurred. Thank you for all of the information you provide. I've told my neurologist about you, she said others have mentioned you too. BTW, she passed 10 reasons you may want to look for a new neurologist, with flying colors. I will continue to gleen from your vast knowledge 😊 I would like to take a moment to offer one hopefully constructive criticism. The characters you insert during videos while fun and entertaining detract from the professional you are. You are not a stuffy doctor using super large words meant for other doctors and deliver your message well, even with 1 or 2 characters. Possibly my opinion only, no offense meant. Thank you for listening. 💜

Great video! I stopped eating processed foods about a year ago, and it has really helped my MS! Almost everything I get now is a single ingredient food. Part of the reason for the extreme diet change, was actually because I found out I was allergic to something that's in most processed foods. Avoiding the allergen has made a big difference too. Have you ever made a video about MS and allergies?
