Hi Dr. Wahls, thank you for doing this AMA. As someone recently diagnosed with MS, I have a few questions:
1) What do you think of following the Wahl's diet in combination with disease-modifying therapies for MS (like Copaxone or Avonex)?
2) What do you think of the China Study? My understanding is that it recommends avoiding all animal products, which obviously differs from your recommendation. Is there something in the study that they've gotten wrong, in your opinion?
3) I was curious to know how your own personal health is progressing. From your Ted talk, you gave us a glimpse into progression, and I recall reading an interview in which you said that you could walk well during the daytime but limped at night. Have you been steadily improving or have you had any setbacks? What symptoms of MS do you still currently have?

4) Lastly, what are your thoughts on soy/tofu?
Thank you!
