I was asked to write an article about my experience with The Wahls Protocol™ for a newsletter for people with MS called “Shared Voices.”. I was happy to share my experience and I hope it inspires some to try it.

In my August 11 post, I promised to write more about our trip to Portland. It was very hot on the Saturday drive down – about 37 Celsius or 98 F when we arrived. I was a bit cranky (no AC in our car and the line up at the border took about two hours to get through, being a long weekend in BC) but I was grateful that I could sweat and survive the heat.

The next day we hooked up with my friend Marc and his son Connor. In the photo above we were messing around in Washington Park pretending to pose for a 70’s rock album cover. After that, Daniel and I went to Powell’s Books, Wink’s Hardware, as well as Rejuvenation.

Eating in Portland was also amazing. With all of my dietary restrictions, it was actually pretty easy to find good food. We found kombucha everywhere — even on tap in some restaurants, as well as at food carts.

This is a sample of the food we found at Harlow . The food was incredible and the service so friendly . . . and kombucha on tap.

The lunch I had at Cultured Caveman was also great — maybe doesn’t look the best but it was delish!

On Monday morning, we arrived at OHSU early. Marc was speaking before me and I wanted to hear his talk and get comfortable in the room.

After my talk, Marc took us out for dinner at a most amazing restaurant called Ox . If you are lucky enough to get to Portland, go there for a really special experience.

So . . . short and sweet blog post. We had a good time and I am so grateful for the ability to travel again and enjoy food and life again.
