My son had bought it but had 3 others wanting to borrow it so I got it from library for now. Son and I are doing the 30 day try starting Aug.1. I had a great supper. I still have some issues with what to eat, now that I have to keep the eggs,tomatoes, potatoes, nuts off too!!! eeek I was great when knew I could have eggs. But will eat meat and veggies and see how my knees feel and if any other symptoms let up. Have no Gallbladder so have been gf. for 2 wks now. Not any noticable improvement but am so full of inflammation right now it may take awhile. Thanks for answering when this was so old, I wasn't sure you would see it.

I watched the video from start to finish and found it interesting. Now have one question... many other websites state to not ingest foods high in arachidonic acid which promotes inflammation. They suggest staying away from red meat, egg yolks, shellfish, dairy, transfats, ect. all I understood except the red meat and egg yolks. I had no idea untill I googled yolks all the info about them. Your take on all this??? really want to work hard at getting this inflammation under control.

Diet should not be overlooked by MS patients. One thing that should be mentioned: It is very important for all MS patients to have an exercise routine since this will help them keep their muscle fit and prevent disability, as it is also important to change their diet. It is well known that some aliments excite the central nervous system and this can worsen some of MS symptoms. It is also recommended to MS patients to keep a food journal in which to write the foods consumed and the way it made them feel. Indeed, and insightful video.

If so, then my brother will probably ask me how he can be sure that he's not losing precious time without the Rebif treatment. Any answer on that which could sound convincing to my brother (as well as to his Doc)? Thanks again! David Hi Robb

I watched the video, I am assuming that this is a 5 minute summary of the lecture that Miguel Carrera posted above. I am encouraging my brother to give it a real try and to buy Cordain's DVD (unfortunately I'll have to make a summary of that and translate into German because that's where my brother and I come from :) ). He told me he'll have to inject Rebif 3 times a week. What's your take on that, i.e. should he do the diet change parallel to the Rebif treatment or reject the treatment and go Paleo only instead? But how do you measure results and when?? Thanks in advance for your answer! David P.S.: Is there no automatic notification system as soon as someone (e.g. you) answers to my question on this blog? Or am I simply overlooking that? Great stuff, thanks for the quick response, Robb!

Cant' hurt, can it? :) So, the video above doesn't exist anymore because the person who uploaded the video obviously has closed down his/her youtube account. The link from Miguel Carrera does work. Is that the same content as the video? And, since this post is rather old, have there been any news since 2008 regarding Paleo and MS? I listened to your last podcast (I guess it was #56) but you're referring there to the FAQ section and I suppose you meant this post here? Thanks in advance for your answer!

I have one question to ask: In one the videos, Cordain says you need inflammation to have cancer. What is meant by this? I know carbs have a proinflammatory effect and I know alot of chronic degenative diseases out there: heart disease, diabetes, obesity, etc. have a chronic low level of inflammation present. Does the inflammation turn on genes in susceptible individuals that will give one cancer, another heart disease, another autoimmune disorder, and etc...? At the age of 32 I developed carpal tunnel, the previous 2 years before I would say glycemic control was slipping, I don't have an actual blood test but would not be surprised if I had IGT. The actual week that my carpal tunnel really got worse,I purely by coincidence went on the Atkins diet (I went on to lose 40 pounds in the next 5 months). I noticed that it improved over time but went ahead with carpal tunnel release surgery. I did not know at the time that the carpal tunnel was the result of the high blood sugar excursions damaging my nerves. We have rheumatoid arthritis in my family and I am well aware of the fact now that carpal tunnel out of the blue is an herald for RA. I know this is just speculation, but if I avoid inflammation in general, a high glycemic carb diet, to what extent will that decrease the chances of developing RA? My family's health history includes heart disease, breast cancer, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, overweight not really obese, and few diabetics and as you probably suspect a low carb diet makes a huge difference in my health. I can already guess, that you would probably say to me, considering my family's background, that a gluten-free, low carb diet for the rest of my life would be the best option. <strong>Mary- I'm going to tackle this on the front page.</strong> I watched this on youtube, it was very interesting.

I was wondering if the review paper on grains that Cordain did is the one called Cereal Grains: Humanity’s Double-Edged Sword? If not which one are you referring to? Also, do you happen to know when we can expect the review paper on dairy from Bastos? On a completely different note do you have a list of preferred fats? What I mean is if I am looking to increase fat intake on the zone to the 2x or 3x blocks where is it easiest to get this from? I know there are problems with doing it all through nuts and I try use a lot of oil... any suggestions on fat sources would be great! Thanks for all you do and any response.

I definitely love the diet and feel great on it. The one thing that has been tough to give up is milk because I just really like the taste and using them for protein shakes, again cuz I like the taste and they're quick. So I know milk gives a much higher insulin response than it's GI would indicate but I recently read an article on PubMed where the result indicated whey as the main proponent of this rise in insulin. Do you know anything about this? My next step was going to be eliminating milk from the protein fruit smoothies and be done with dairy, grains, and legumes altogether, but if it is the whey causing the problem then I guess that just leaves the fruit smoothie... Thanks for any response you give, I know you are real busy and I love your reading your stuff. p.s. the article is called Glycemia and insulinemia in healthy subjects after lactose-equivalent meals of milk and other food proteins: the role of plasma amino acids and incretins. Thanks again! <strong>Hey Kyle- Pedro Bastos is a research associate of Loren Cordain and he is working on a review paper for dairy, similar to the one Cordain did for grains. It will cover EVERY element of this topic but like you indicated, whey appears to be the largest player in this process. If you think about it, the growth inducing potential of dairy makes sense in the context of a growing mammal...then when growth is finished, milk consumption halts. I think you can tackle this stuff by eliminating the dairy for a time, then re-introduce it and just see how you feel, look perform etc. Nothing beats that personal experience. I have noticed that shakes tend to do one thing: make people chubby. The refinement of the food is tough with regards to insulin release...this is perhaps exacerbated with dairy in the mix.
