Editor's note: This talk is a personal narrative and is not yet backed by larger experimentation.

Dr. Terry Wahls learned how to properly fuel her body. Using the lessons she learned at the subcellular level, she used diet to cure her MS and get out of her wheelchair.

OMG! Here's this lady trying to teach us through her example, one of the few on TEDX who are NOT blowhards, and you want to take her apart? What is it about her exactly that you do not like? That she has no makeup on? That she 's not tottering about on pumps or stillettos? That she didn't put herself through a session at the hair salon before she took the stage? That she acts and talks like a genuine human woman devoid of fancy accents and mannerisms? Unbelievable!

BRAVO!!!!! Truly a healer on EARTH ---

Offering ALL her information to us for FREE.

She has transformed her suffering and struggle into a GIFT to us....to humanity.....to those blinded by misleading and generally useless information pumped out by the mainstream establishment.

This Doctor is the VERY best expression of a beautiful, brave, persevering soul.

Much Love and Gratitude to YOU, Dr. Wahls!

Our bodies can totally convert ALA from plant sources into EPA and subsequently DHA. Chia seeds have eight times more Omega 3 than fish, which means your body is getting much more pure amounts of Omega 3 to begin with, without the toxic side effects from fish, and massive other healthy benefits from Chia as well. : ) Check this out.

Shoulds like you need to do a little more research. Our body cant process the Omega 3 in chia seeds near as well as fish oil. Plus chia seeds can cause irritable bowel syndrom. Fish oil and wild caught fish are a much better source. Modern in the form of fish oil, Ill agree with modern there.

BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO.

i thought it was omega 6? >.> oh well, i know there is a fatty acid that you can only find in hemp and mj seeds. we were meant to consume the plant like a vegetable. it's better to eat (raw and unheated, so you wont get high on the mj) much healthier than a dark green salad.

Omega 3 does not come from fish, it comes from the algae and plants that they eat. Eating Chia seeds has much more Omega 3 than fish, and does not destroy the oceanic eco system, and does not have heavy metal toxins that fish have. There are many other adverse effects to eating fish as well. A purely plant based diet puts our body and our environment into natural balance, and is the ethical and logical choice. Time to wake up to the 21st century and behave as a modern human being.
