Are you deep in biology like with a minimum BS or higher degree? If not, might just be too difficult to understand the value of the ideas. The lady prescribing the Wahls protocol is an MD so has a lot more invested into the field than the layperson. That said, she could still be wrong.

One thing is for sure, there is no one-size-fits-all and there is no magic bullet. If there's something helpful for one condition, it's probably harmful for another. The body is a complex holistic system after all.

Dr.Wahls has been disingenuous about her recovery because she downplayed her chemotherapy and the expensive e-stim therapy she received, which is not covered by insurance, and chose instead to focus her promotion and communication on something she could commercialize - her diet. M.S. patients like myself who do not have six figures to spend on e-stim are generally better off focusing on creating an optimal diet that positively impacts their microbiome while maintaining a normal BMI and exercising at a comfortable level.
Eat more organ meat, more dietary fiber, more veggies.

What part of the Wahls protocol diet is suboptimal?

Aside from the extra effort and expense. I mean health wise.
