Daily consumption of 9 cups of specialized vegetables (3 cups leafy greens, 3 cups sulfur-rich cruciferous/alliums, 3 cups deeply pigmented colors) paired with grass-fed organ meats to supply critical cofactors for myelin rebuilding and mitochondrial Krebs cycle enzymes. Primary Citation: The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine (2014). Verified Public Record: "When I fed my mitochondria the exact building blocks they required—nine cups of deeply colored greens, sulfur-rich brassicas, and organ meats—my cells were able to rebuild their myelin sheaths and I rose from my tilt-recline wheelchair." — The Wahls Protocol (Chapter 1: Out of the Wheelchair, p. 14 (2014))

Sulfur-rich vegetables provide the exact biochemical building blocks needed for myelin sheath sulfatide synthesis and glutathione regeneration.
