🎶 Happy belated Birthday Dr. B. 🎂 🎶 Hope you had an awesome day. Thank you again for these very informative RU-vid 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.
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.
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 .
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.
when I was diagnosed 2009...I went home, my daughter was with her dad for summer, I closed my curtains and geeked out on the internet. after 6 weeks I found sense diet, exercise, emotional wellbeing needed to be my focus. I was already veggie, 2012 chose veganism I love my eats whole foods, meditation, huge part of health. oh shush up me boring, Aaron Boster I found you last month and your videos are full of such sense, awesome anecdotal shares of which i adore/respect...actually I stopped listening to this condition of ours (wasnt supporting my health/or my interest) but gosh golly I just subscribed to your site, and I'm looking around your site. My main focus is vit D, 10,000 daily works for me and B12 not cos I'm vegan, b12 I self inject, omega 3, fabulous nutrient-works for me (helps me with fine motor, stuffs writing, typing etc. you are a well informed awesome medicine man. thank you for you and your awesome shares
First time listening to you, I will be following your RU-vid channel from now on in. You are the most informative person I have listened to, very easy to understand and you cut to the chase.....thank you very much. Looking forward to hearing each of your episodes . ❤
Happy Birthday , I just got diagnosed with MS and I totally did all of your tips lost 60lbs but now my gut hurts all the time but I dont want to stop basically keto , just trying to get thru the day! Your videos are amazing thank you for making my decisions seem solid I feel like I am on my own!!
Happy belated birthday!! Love the simple breakdown of getting water intake for the day. To say 100oz sounds intimidating, but when separated into 5 bottle fills, that doesn't seem so bad!
Happy Birthday to you Doctor Boster. Same as my younger brother.... Thanks for this informative video. Really explains the details of proper diet rather than dictating "eat this and not that"
Great recommendations…partially like upping water intake, gut health is so important and going to look into more about intermittent fasting. I appreciate the focus on why it’s important for MS patients. Thanks for putting this together.
About the water! It's ok to drink more, where I have an issue is with the toxic intake of Bromine from the water that competes with Iodine. Chemical treatments Chlorine, Trihalomethanes, etc... It would be nice to recommend a Reverse Osmosis water source. keep up the good work, you rock!
Great advice Dr B, thank you. I follow the first 8 recommendations and about to adopt IMF - hopefully without losing much weight as I’m already at minimum healthy BMI.
What you you think of MS patient who has had no exacerbations for 15+ years and then gets much worse walking like Quasimodo for many months? MRI shows no new activity?
Hi there! I just discovered your videos, and I have been binge-watching them.😊 You are very knowledgeable and informative! Thank you for sharing your expertise. I struggle with putting on a couple of pounds because I am 10 lb underweight. I've just done a little experiment and I have cut out, not fully, gluten and dairy and I seem to be feeling a bit better. What are your thoughts of cutting out gluten and dairy from a MS patients diet? Thank you Dr.!
Happy Birthday 🎂. I have Ms for 9 years and I do not sleep a complete night which makes me tired. I wake up everyday at 3:00 midnight till morning. I wish Ms will disappear
All those ideas are great And I am already doing, but I could do them a little bit more to up my game I’ll grind flax seeds and add 2 tablespoons to whatever I’m eating every day that gives me protein, fiber, and calcium because I am losing muscle mass and bone mass as a result of not being as active as I used to be as far as walking and running The elliptical is great biking is great and swimming is great and even a program by Miranda Esmonde White called classical stretch, has saved me for years to help me be flexible and mobile !
i wish I could remember specific book I read re water, doctor bat??? I can't remember his name and hope someone will know. Most awesome book outstanding I had to look up 100 ounces, close to 3 litres, and after I read the book when Id followed the advised 3 litres it made such a health positive and after today watching this video , I'm going to make the effort again or at least, 1 or 2 litres. Its awesome so...gotta go drink water yippeeeeeeeeeeee
Try lowering your carbs n staying on focus in restaurants is really easy now just say no hash browns, no fries no toast eat the meat, eggs n cheese much better n filling for you. And way heart healthy. No glutens, no bread , rice or potatoes
My mother has MS. She would not be able to fast, she is thinner than a stick already as a result of not eating things that give fat because those foods increase the pain.
I am still in the phase to see whether or not I have MS or it is a CIS. Where I come from we dont have our own ms neurologist. So second opinion is a thing. I dont think I have MS but the ms neurologist treating me wants to almost convince me I have. At this point I am desperate for a second opinion and some other MS neurologist to see my MRI. Any suggestions for a good ms Neurologist would be appreciated!
Hi Aaron, I’m 54 years old newly diagnosed as MS after around 12 months of slowly developing left leg weakness and urgency on micturition of course with MRI findings my EDSS is 3.5, my neurologist thinks it’s primarily progressive type as my age is suggestive though he is not sure because it’s the 1st time to be treated with proper dose of steroids I’m going ro have Rituximab also as oclerizumab not available in my country right now I feel much better 10 days after completing the steroid course do you think it’s possible to be relapsing remitting rather than primary progressive type?
Dr. Aaron, what do you think about Passive Smoking, I have never smoke, bur my couple's family are big smokers, and we use to see them once or twice a week, can that affect me (MS patient)?
My D was 25, what's weird is I'm in the sun almost every day in my garden it need watering and I'm out there hanging out. Could there be something blocking my absorption.
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.
@@noura213 yes I had retro bulgur neuritis st 19 then over a period of years all manner of strange happenings. Then more neuritis. 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.
Can you please tell me more? how did you not have big problems that took you to hospital with MS? How did you not take Medicine? did you exercise, have stress please tell us plz i’m worried.
I’m 71 years old and have been diagnosed at 32 years old I live in a nursing home wheelchair-bound. This is the first time I have listen to Your talks. I find it very interesting. I’ll continue to listen and implement new ideas for my MS.
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 😂
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.
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.
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?
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.
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!
Happy Birthday Dr. Boster! Greetings from India! I got diagnosed with MS 6 moths ago and since then I have changed my diet and lifestyle completely. Of course, I am on interferons, but I do think the combination of nutrition, meditation, exercise and medicine really helped me. A recent MRI showed that my lesions have reduced in size and number! Thank you for these videos. It keeps me going!

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.
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.
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.
@@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?
I would encourage you to look into magnesium. The various forms work better for different issues, but I have found relief from constipation and chronic headaches (and frequent migraines), by taking magnesium daily. Congrats on looking 43 at 47. We're getting closer to that senior discount, but don't have to look it!
I have those two things and also chronic fatigue (mainly in my legs) and thinking i should get some magnesium. I only recently found out that those things can be symptoms of MS.
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.
How do you feel about Stevia? One of the first things I did was stop drinking coke and Pepsi products and started drinking Zevia cause I love carbonation.
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
I can’t clean my house😭🤕with ms it’s really hard I’m so tired. Will this video help! I’m nauseous and migraine headaches plenty of them. Very unenergized. I can’t do it anymore 😫😖
I would love to hear about intermittent fasting related to MS symptoms and not weight loss. I know there's been a recent study on MS and intermittent fasting (I think the 5/2 method). I tried to read the study, but when it started getting into medical jargon it lost me. I don't want to lose weight (and I don't need to) but I'm tired ALL the time. I do ALL THE RIGHT THINGS (eat mostly whole foods, good sleep schedule/hygiene, regular exercise, on a DMT, manage symptoms that affect sleep like nocturia, take a prescription stimulant) and I'm still always tired. I'm willing to try just about anything to get even one extra ounce of energy.
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,
I am on Coimbra protocol. So I drink 2.5 lr of water a day. Avoid dairy( I personally avoid bad food as well) and exercise. Hope to stay benign for a long time. I also take probiotics and bioavailable curcumin.
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!
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
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.
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.
@@Jess-kn8vlStress, whether physical or mental, definitely contributes to relapses & flares with these autoimmune diseases. Stress is a killer so do all you can do reduce it.❤
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 😀🙏
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!
Do ms patients progressive mainly have any food allergies??? If i eat specific foods i get burning in my muscles and when i eats othe specific foods i get a strange cold feeling on my skin that is sensitive to wind/ cold areas making the area feel very cold.
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. 💜
Dr. Aaron I really appreciate all your knowledge that you share with us on this channel. I just found you in 2022. You have inspired me to start eating whole foods again. I felt so much better when I did. I already follow most of what you recommend here so I'm thankful for that. I've been diagnosed for 10 years now and I'm happy to report that your top 9 are also my top 9 but I've swayed a bit and need to get realigned again with a healthier lifestyle. I'm looking forward to starting off 2023 following #1 again. Cheers! Here's to a new year and renewed energy. 🙂
Thank you! I don’t think I’ve seen a video on your channel about it, I would love a break down on dietary fat. Diets in the “paleo-sphere” advocate some saturated fat, but Swank / OMS say to stay away - even to avoid coconut products. I know both have been studied, but do we have a stronger indication in one direction or the other?
I was recently diagnosed with transverse myletis. My symptomology is extreme heaviness and vibration in my whole body. My symptoms have been ongoing for 2 months. I had an extreme flare up just the other day. I have been on anti inflammatory diet for the past month. My neurologist said he wouldn't do a steroid treatment because I fell outside the time window. My quality of life has been significantly impacted. What would you recommend I do? It's very difficult to find a different neurologist in Canada. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated to treat my severe flare-up.
Happy belated birthday Dr. Boster🎉 An easy way to convert pounds to kilograms is divide your weight in pounds by 2.2. For example 100 lbs divided by 2.2 = 45.5 kilograms
Happy Belated Birthday to You Dr B 🥳! THANK YOU for your brilliant 9 things video, packed full of useful and additional learning for me about ways to manage my MS. I always feel healthier and optimistic 😊 after watching your videos. Definitely going to try Intermittent Fasting (..after chatting with my MS Nurse), makes so much sense biologically I think. Want to thank you most of all for how you communicate in such an accessible, friendly, down to earth..your willingness and enthusiasm shines through all you do. Curiosity has been my great ally in my MS journey - thank you for feeding that part of me! Again..Happy Birthday 😊 , the world is so much better because you're in it, best wishes xxx
