Safety Profile
Wahls reports going from a tilt-recline wheelchair to riding a bike. Small clinical studies, including a 2021 randomized trial of 87 people with relapsing-remitting MS comparing the Wahls and Swank diets, found less fatigue and better quality of life on both diets. It has not been shown to change the course of MS, so it goes alongside disease-modifying treatment, not instead of it.
