reversing disease quickly and that's why we talk about it here also recall that what i said in my other videos most inflammation starts in your gut and you shouldn't be surprised by this considering around 70 to 80 percent of your immune system is contained in your gut so when you have an inflammatory disease you need to take a close look at what's going on with diet and digestion frequently

earlier and it discusses what's probably deficient in your diet the most common vitamin 04:35: Vitamin, mineral and phytonutrient deficiencies in Multiple Sclerosis. deficiencies are vitamin d3 and vitamin b12 mineral deficiencies include magnesium zinc and selenium if you're wondering about the dosages and how to select reliable brands i posted a link below with my top supplement choices for multiple sclerosis now the biggest nutritional deficiencies in ms is phytonutrients that's p-h-y-t-o nutrients phytonutrients what are they and why are they important phytonutrients are molecules from plants and fungi that exert a strong positive influence on human health think superfoods they're anti-inflammatory antioxidant and anti-aging what most doctors don't tell us is that there are thousands of scientific papers that show phytonutrients reverse inflammation in fact all the pharmaceutical companies have tried to replicate these results using medications so it's very important that you know what phytonutrients are and how you can use them to heal your body high phyto diets means less inflammation my philosophy is that every time you eat is an opportunity to fuel the mind heal the gut and reset immunity so don't squander these opportunities i'm a strong believer in high-dose phytonutrient supplementation every day with every meal 05:22: Terpenes, how to consume them and their positive impacts on Multiple Sclerosis. terpenes are brain boosters they're nootropics they help nerves they boost mood aid in digestion alleviate pain and improve concentration they are obviously anti-inflammatory and contained in foods such as mushrooms hemp spices herbs etc they're also found in large amounts in citrus peel zest and things like peppermint basil anese fennel ginkgo biloba ginseng bacoba maneri some of the ones to be aware of are carotene found in carrots leucine monoterpenes dye terpenes triterpenes and tetraterpenes and arena scenes found in mushrooms my favorite ways to consume them are teas spices mushrooms and organic whole food extracts next we have phenols also 06:34: Phenols importance on Multiple Sclerosis and what foods they are in. called polyphenols these are special plant micronutrients that optimize mind gut immune function they include things like quercetin camphoral rutin apigenin lu teolin ketechens from lentils peas ashwagandha green tea flavanols from berries and red wine resveratrol that's the one dr oz made famous curcumin from turmeric tannins from tea berries and bark cinnamate gallate capsaicin from chilies gingerol rootin pherolate camphor bromelain theoflavin from various herbs and spices now my favorite ways to consume phenols are dark berries green vegetables spices tea beans and lentils if you consume beans and lentils soak them overnight and pressure cook them they have these complex proteins called lectins which can cause problems with leaky gut inflammation and digestion but all you need to do is soak them and pressure cook them and the lectins disappear 07:19: Chlorophyll effects in Multiple Sclerosis and how to consume them. okay moving on chlorophyll is a phytonutrient found in most plants and marine algae it's responsible for photosynthesis which is a process that converts sunlight radiation into energy chlorophyll is a powerful scavenger of free radicals and toxins in the body my favorite ways to consume them are in salads and shakes with lots of green and leafy vegetables important to know chlorophyll is heat sensitive so don't overcook the veggies you can eat them raw or lightly steam them or blanch them if you fry them or burn them they pretty much lose all their chlorophyll i like these cold pressed green juices and wheatgrass shots from those fancy juice bars they have a ton of chlorophyll in them okay next 08:06: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and the importance of Thiocyanates. thiocyanates are found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli brussels sprouts cauliflower and cabbage bok choy kale wasabi horseradish and capers the most well-known nutrient in this family is sulfurophane which is a powerful liver detoxifier the reason that's important is the liver filters the blood coming from the gut so it's a very important organ that regulates inflammation my favorite way to consume sulfurophane and thiocyanates are salads and shakes but i'll give you a suggestion if you add a bit of powdered mustard it contains an enzyme that helps sulfurophane metabolize in the body also broccoli sprouts have 10 times the amount of sulfurifying than the actual flower so try to incorporate sprouts and microgreens into your recipes phyto oils 10:29: Phyto-oils, where to find them and their impacts on Multiple Sclerosis (MS). this is a very important category because most of your fat should come from phyto oils examples include alpha linoleic acid ala or omega-3 for short gamma linolenic acid which is a cis omega-6 acid palmitoleic acid which is omega-7 and oleic acid which is omega-9 a couple things to mention here for ala natural sources tend to be better than supplements because they work better in the human body for the gamma-linolenic acid it's the only omega-6 that is anti-inflammatory because it's the cis-isomer cis is the opposite of trans trans fats are bad cis fats are good but if you have a trans omega-6 which can come from mostly animal sources this can sometimes be harmful so just to reiterate all four of the beneficial vital oils listed here are omega cis fatty acids not trans fats finally the last one on the phyto oils list is p-e-a it's got a very long name that you don't need to memorize and it's found mostly in avocados but if you're trying to get good phyto oils and fats into your diet go for flax chia walnut almonds avocado nut milk genuine olive oil and sea buckthorn oil also i wanted to briefly comment about olive oil i emphasize genuine olive oil because there was a recent published report that found many brands of extra virgin olive oil are mixed with other less healthy oils so do your research look for the ones with a light green tint to them and have a bit of a grassy taste to them phytonutrients determine whether someone ends up taking lifelong medication versus beating their inflammation for good throughout history this has also been the case phytonutrition has its roots in ancient civilizations like native americans africans greek roman indian chinese and asian most humans for many millennia have used plants and herbs and fungi as medicine to cure ailments in fact many modern pharmaceuticals you see out there are derived from these phytocompounds and in parts of the world where they grow their own food immune disease is practically non-existent so when people downplay phyto i sort of laugh because it's actually the original therapy that prevented inflammation all right i hope 11:14: Outro you enjoyed that video now i want to know what phytonutrients are you most
