He Made Weed A Medicine

After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2000, Montel Williams set out to find the safest, most effective form of medicinal cannabis for treating his disease and others, and to bring that product to the masses. After 17 years of nonstop research and advocacy, those goals are finally in hand with the launch of his new, medical-grade line of cannabis oils and products–but don’t expect him to slow down anytime soon.

Now serving medicinal cannabis patients in California (and other states soon), Lenitiv Labs is the product of nearly two decades of research spanning multiple continents and continuous, very personal investment by Williams. As founder, the retired naval officer, former TV host, and ongoing entrepreneur has guaranteed to personally try every batch of cannabis concentrate he sells, having spent years learning how other companies process the plant for use in ‘medical’ products.

He explained by phone that the medicinal and recreational booms have also brought a huge rise in the number of different cannabis producers, all operating under fluctuating, often ill-defined regulatory standards. “We’ve got a lot of ‘garage scientists’ in the industry, who are well-meaning people–I don’t think anyone gets up in the morning, goes to the garage, and thinks they’ll make something poisonous that could hurt people,” he said.

“But some are misled, some don’t do the research, and some don’t understand how long it’s taken to get here, and just work from bits and pieces of the extant literature,” he continued. “If you looked at how some of these products are processed, you would not give it to your mother or your child. So why do we call it medicine?”

Williams, whose company recovers active and medicinal chemicals like THC and CBD from cannabis plants using the ‘green method’ of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with C02, noted that the butane, hexane and flavoring used to process much consumer-grade cannabis can leave unwanted traces behind. “With specialty beers, sure–include all the novelty junk you want. But if you call it medicine, and give it to anyone with a serious disease such as MS, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, and on and on, you must believe that they’re walking in that door trusting that it will work, and not do them harm.”

“A lot of these doctors never signed the Hippocratic oath,” he added. “I spent time in the military, and I believe in oaths. If I wouldn’t put something in my body, I won’t sell it to you for yours.”

It was not long after Williams formally retired from the military that he was diagnosed with MS, and began his search for an effective treatment. “In the first year, I was put on a myriad of medications, most of them opioid-based, only to affect one symptom, which was pain,” he said. “Then I started taking another, which was supposedly immune-system modifying. I tried homeopathic remedies, and everything I could think of, and almost destroyed my intestines with opioids.”

In 2001, one of his doctors, a renowned one in the area of MS, told Williams off the record that some of his patients had reportedly seen benefits from using cannabis. “A credible doctor told me not to stick a needle in myself every day, not to take four pills a day, but to try cannabis. It took about two and a half months to switch over, and I’ve had cannabis in my system every day since–except for about 40 when I was traveling in a country that strictly prohibits cannabis, and I had to use MARINOL, one of the most insidious drugs ever created, with strange side effects at any dose, on any body.”

When he was diagnosed at the age of 43, doctors told Williams that his life expectancy would likely be cut in half. Today, at 60, Williams eats healthily and exercises frequently, making sure to stretch and crack out the characteristically stiff joints which, he suggested, may have inspired a Chinese term for MS: roughly, “the statue disease.” He also keeps himself “saturated with cannabinoids” to increase flexibility, help with pain, and promote nerve-protective neuroplasticity in the brain, he said, but which never get him high. By first prognosis, he said, “As an African-American male, I should be dead.”

Since the time he first started using cannabis for MS, Williams has also been tirelessly advocating for cannabis reform in states around the country, as well as on behalf of veterans. “I was lobbying literally for myself,” he said.

His military history also drove his interest in creating a highly tailored form of cannabis oil using SFE’s powerful capacity for targeting and releasing specific chemicals. “I’m an engineer, and a naval academy graduate, and I can’t look at things without wanting to take them apart, and figure out how to put them back together in the optimal way,” he said. “I spent 16 years figuring out how to use [CBD] to work best for me, and developing things I know work for me, and I want to share what I’ve learned with others.”

“There have been times I’ve been so disappointed with the industry. People jump in, see it as the ‘green rush,’ and forget that 17 years ago people were dragged out of their homes with IVs in their arms, in their wheelchairs, for growing marijuana to treat awful symptoms of cancer,” he added. “As things have changed in the past five years, people have forgotten that there were patients left on the battlefield.” 

“Honestly, I’ve been appalled by aspects of this industry,” he said. “Cannabis should have been treated like any other plant-based medicine for the past hundred years: find the best portion of this drug and use it in the best modality it can be used for.”

In the absence of such research (broadly speaking), Williams has continuously tried to uncover the information himself since he first started using medicinal cannabis. While he was never a ‘garage scientist,’ he recalled trying to extract oil from cannabis plants in his small Manhattan kitchen back in the early 2000s. “With the pilot light there, it wasn’t the smartest,” he joked.

But his tireless dedication to the cause, and to other ones across the industry, seem to have paid off. He noted that he wants to continue taking the knowledge he’s gaining himself and “offer it up” to others, including through clinical trials he plans to arrange as the business gains steam.

In salutation, then, at 4:20 on 4/20 in my own city, with my own method (though sadly inferior, from what it looks and sounds like):

Mr. Williams, this one’s for you.

Montel Williams Talks About Multiple Sclerosis

It has been 20 years since television personality Montel Williams was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. By the time of his diagnosis in 1999, he had unknowingly lived with the condition for nearly the same length of time.

Despite flare-ups that felt like “his feet were on fire” and continuous doctors’ appointments, Williams went undiagnosed for nearly 20 years before he finally learned the truth. Now, he is looking back on his MS journey, speaking to Simplemost about why his diagnosis was a mixed blessing and how it taught him the importance of advocating for himself.

“There is no denying that being diagnosed changed the course of my life and changed who I am,” Williams told Simplemost.

“Three months before my graduation from the United States Naval Academy, I went blind in my left eye, which stopped me from actually graduating with my class. I received my diploma, but was not commissioned because I had additional symptoms that started right then that got misdiagnosed over the next 20 years.”

After suffering for nearly two decades, Williams was officially diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) in 1999, eight years after his talk show, “The Montel Williams Show,” began. He says those decades of his life were “frustrating,” but considers the experience a mixed blessing because it taught him the importance of being his own advocate.

“At that time, it felt like no one believed me, but now I know the importance of speaking up if you are noticing changes with your body and how you’re feeling,” he said.

Williams is now partnering with a new program called My MS Second Act that aims to raise awareness about disease progression, including secondary progressive MS (SPMS). In partnership with the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America, Novartis and The Moth, the program empowers patients — through the art of storytelling — to share their disease progression and how they have faced the challenges of this “second act” of their MS journey.

“It’s crucial for those with MS to know that 80% of those like myself with RRMS may develop secondary progressive MS, or SPMS, and that they should be especially cognizant of new symptoms or changes in their disease,” Williams said.

Montel Williams

Williams hopes that the My MS Second Act program will encourage patients to “share their stories in a meaningful way and will help them begin a dialogue with their family, friends and most importantly doctors.”

“I really wish this information had been available to me when I was diagnosed with MS,” he added.

Today, Williams says he is doing “very well” and he is thankful to have a platform from which he can help other MS patients understand the importance of being advocates for themselves on their journey. He urges others diagnosed with MS not to let the disease define them and to talk to their doctors about disease progression.

“As someone who reported other people’s stories for years, I know how important it is to be your own advocate and how powerful storytelling can be,” he said.

“Everyone living with MS has a unique disease experience. All symptoms are different and are identified differently, and this affects each person in a unique way. It’s important that people talk with their doctors to help identify changes in their MS.”

Williams says that while MS is frequently challenging, being a part of elevating the MS stories of others has been one of the “greatest honors” of his life.

Montel Williams shares what helps him thrive with MS — Live well with Christina

Today I’m honored to have TV-personality and chronic illness advocate Montel WIlliams on The Live Well Podcast to speak about his experience with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and partnership with Novartis and the MSAA on the My MS Second Act program.

Montel Williams earned his media celebrity status as an inspirational Emmy Award winning television personality whom Americans invited into their homes for more than 17 years. He is a decorated former naval officer, inspirational speaker, author, entrepreneur and advocate for patients worldwide.

Montel was diagnosed with MS in 1999, but his disease had been undiagnosed for almost 20 years before then despite flare-ups that felt like “his feet were on fire” and continuous doctors’ appointments. Montel reflects back on his diagnosis as a mixed blessing, because it taught him the importance of willpower and advocating for yourself. He urges others diagnosed with MS not to let the disease define them, and to talk to their doctor about disease progression.

Shortly after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 1999, Williams established the Montel Williams MS Foundation to further the scientific study of MS, provide financial assistance to select organizations and institutions conducting research, raise national awareness, and educate the public. The MWMSF has granted over $1.5 million dollars to research and has supported a study done at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, which discovered an MS gene.

Over the years, Montel has been involved with many initiatives that are focused on improving the lives of people living with various brain impairments and injuries. He has personally participated in studies and trials surrounding non-invasive brain stimulation therapy with phenomenal results. He continues to work with researchers and the U.S. Army to further develop their findings with the hopes of helping soldiers who have experienced blast-related traumatic brain injuries.

Montel is an amazing advocate in the autoimmune and chronic illness community and I’m absolutely honored to speak with him on The Live Well Podcast!

In this interview Montel speaks about: 

• The importance of being your own advocate

• The holistic approaches that most helped him heal

• His daily mindfulness practice that helps him stay positive and thrive with chronic illness!

• His project, My MS Second Act, that aims to educate the MS community about disease progression including secondary progressive MS (SPMS).

Montel Williams Reportedly Admitted to Hospital After Overdoing It at Gym

Jason Kempin/ACM2015/Getty Images for dcp

Former talk show host Montel Williams was admitted to a New York hospital after he “overdid it” at the gym, according to his spokesman.

“Anyone who knows Montel knows that he is an exercise enthusiast,” Williams’ spokesman, Jonathan Franks, said in a statement. “Yesterday, he overdid it, and was admitted to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. He is doing well and anticipates being discharged soon.”

Franks also noted to TMZ that the TV personality first felt something was wrong while doing dumbbell squats, and made the 9-1-1 call almost immediately.

“The Williams family will be forever grateful for the quick response from [FDNY] and the excellent care he has received,” Franks said.

Williams was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis — a nerve disease targeting the brain and spinal cord — in 1991. Since then, the 61-year-old has dealt with the diagnosis through a fitness-focused, active lifestyle, and the use of medical marijuana. Just a few days before his hospital trip, Williams introduced his own line of CBD products, Lenitiv. (Curious about using hemp products to fuel muscle recovery? Here’s everything you need to know.)

“I’ve been on a wellness journey since my diagnosis, and [Lenitiv] is the culmination of everything I’ve learned about cannaboids along the way,” Williams wrote.

Williams’ story is a good lesson for any guy. Overexerting yourself at the gym is one of the most detrimental things you can do to your body.

“While there is a time and place for maximal training, doing that in every session, on every set, is only going to result in you burning out and not making consistent progress,” Tony Gentilcore, C.S.C.S., owner of CORE in Boston, told us back in January.

Montel Williams Describes His Life-Threatening Stroke: ‘I Didn’t Think That I Was Going to Recover From This.’

He also did exercises to combat nystagmus, a condition in which the eyes move involuntarily. “Both eyeballs were shaking like crazy,” he says. But he noticed small improvements after a couple of days of visual focusing exercises. “You get out of rehab what you put in,” he adds.

Williams’s recovery was so successful that he even saw improvements in his multiple sclerosis (MS), a central nervous system condition causing nerve damage that disrupts communication between the brain and body. “The therapy I did for the stroke mitigated and substantially lessened some of the symptoms of MS,” he says. “My brain is going through a healing process. The brain is such an incredibly resilient organ. If you work hard, your brain might give you back the things you thought you might not get.”

Today, Williams is nearly back at 100 percent. “He probably will always know he had this event, but he’s near back to having a normal lifestyle,” Dr. Stieg says. “He’s worked really hard on his recovery.”

“We’re so afraid to talk about stroke in this country—we just don’t talk about it,” Williams says.

He believes that stifling the conversation is a sense of shame that comes with the impairments that can result from a stroke. “People are embarrassed by some of the deficits that they are left with,” he says.

Dr. Stieg adds, “People who have a neurological deficit as a result of anything are somewhat uncomfortable talking about it, primarily for the reason that it’s affecting their brain and their mind, and it makes them feel like less of a human being.”

Part of changing the way we talk about strokes is changing the way we look at recovery. “Sometimes [strokes] can be devastating when people lose motor and speech function,” Dr. Stieg says. “But many times they regain function, and [Williams] is obviously an example of that…. His is also a story of hope—which is the story of stroke.”

Williams wants people to understand that having a stroke or discussing the topic is not something to be embarrassed about. “It is something that happens in society and there is a way out of the depths of the darkest times,” he says.

Nearly fully recovered, Williams has returned to work. Last week, he shot the first episode of a show called Military Makeover: Operation Careers, which helps place vets in the workforce. But make no mistake, he is determined to take it easier these days, and spend more time with his wife, Tara. “As committed as she has been to being my caregiver, I need to commit to her,” he says. “I don’t want to miss out on another second with her.”

Williams has also scaled back on the intense two-hour workouts he used to do daily. He’s no longer waking up at 3 A.M. to catch a flight three times a week, and has pulled back on micromanaging his four businesses. “It’s time to calm it down. I’ve really taken that aboard and I’m trying to live my life a little less stressfully,” he says.

These days, he doesn’t stress out about the little stuff. “I’m not overreacting to things. What I screamed about three months ago, I’m not even slightly raising my blood pressure over today,” Williams says. And he’s started incorporating naps into his daily routine. “In fact, as soon as we get done talking,” he says, “I’m going to go take an hour nap.”

Montel Williams Has MS – CBS News

Talk show host Montel Williams held back tears Monday as he revealed that he has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a debilitating neurological disease that presently has no cure.

“We don’t know how long I’ve had it for, but I’ve been misdiagnosed for 10 years,” Williams, 43, said at a Manhattan news conference. “There have been some mornings when I thought it would be better if I stayed in bed.”

But he vowed: “This disease is not going to stop me.”

The host of the nationally syndicated Montel Williams Show, which has been on the air for eight seasons, said he will continue to work as long as he is physically able.

Williams said he recently informed his immediate family of his condition and told his staff on Monday, shortly before the news conference.

He made the announcement in the company of his wife, Grace, Frank Kelly, co-president of domestic television for Paramount, and his personal physician, Dr. Michael Olek of Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham Women’s Hospital and Harvard MS Center.

Olek said they have been discussing several recently approved drug therapies. Williams has been seen by neurology specialists at Harvard and the Karolinska-Nobel Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.

Throughout his illness, Williams said he had been working 18-hour days to direct his first feature film, a drama titled Little Pieces. He maintained his commitment to his career as a talk show host.

“Even if this gets worse in five or 10 years from now, I will still force myself out of my bed,” said Williams.

“The hardest part Montel has with this disease is not having control. He’s had control of everything in his life, from being a naval officer to his talk show. But not his family,” joked his wife, Grace, in a moment that briefly broke her seriousness.

“She’s got control there,” agreed Williams, kissing his wife. They have four children: Ashley, Maressa, Montel II, and Wyntergrace.

Williams also announced the creation of a multiple sclerosis research fund. “I hope that by me coming forward today … that just the use of my name will maybe increase people’s donations so that in the next five years we can cure this,” he said.

Kelly, of Paramount, expressed his support. “Montel has been a partner and friend at Paramount and he’ll attack this just like everything else,” he said.

Donations can be sent to: Montel Williams MS Research, The Foundation for Neurological Diseases, 10 State St., Newburyport, Mass. 01950.

90,000 Celebrities with rare chronic diseases. | Health, beauty, useful advice

Living, treating and understanding the consequences of a rare and / or chronic disease is a serious matter for a person and his loved ones. Regardless of the prognosis, a rare disease affects all aspects of a person’s life, and it takes time, energy and emotional work to comprehend all this and come to terms with their “new normal”.

And these conditions are becoming more common: In 2017, the Centers for Disease Control reported that half of all adults in the world live with one chronic disease, and one in four adults have two or more.

Common among them include diseases such as:

• heart disease
• cancer
• chronic lung disease
• stroke
• Alzheimer’s disease
• diabetes
• chronic kidney disease

And being rich, famous or successful is not gives you immunity to these chronic or rare diseases. When it comes to people with rare and / or chronic conditions, this category includes foreign celebrities we know and love such as Lady Gaga, Yolanda Hadid, Venus Williams, Kim Kardashian, and Michael J.Fox, who live with chronic pain, Lyme disease, Sjogren’s disease, psoriasis and Parkinson’s disease.

To help their fans understand their experiences, help others in their communities with the same conditions, or educate people, some of these celebrities have even used their influence and platforms to share their stories of life in these settings.

In addition to being powerful, personal and vulnerable to share, it can work wonders by dispelling stigma and facilitating understanding, appreciation and support from the general public for little-known peers suffering from these diseases.

The diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease put to Robin Williams turned out to be erroneous: Movie: Culture: Lenta.ru

The diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, given to the actor Robin Williams a few months before his suicide, was probably a medical error.The Radar Online portal writes about this, referring to the results of the research carried out after the autopsy of the actor’s body, which became known only now.

The publication explains that Williams most likely suffered from so-called Lewy body dementia (a type of senile dementia). Its syndromes are in some cases similar to those of Parkinson’s disease. In the case of the actor, these are tremors and impaired motor activity of the left hand, depression, insomnia, paranoia, hallucinations and cognitive impairments.

Lewy body dementia is also often mistakenly associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Senile dementia progresses, but its development, as a rule, can be stopped with medication. It is characterized mainly by mental and mental disorders, while parkinsonism leads to irreversible changes in muscles and joints.

A few days after Williams’ death, his wife Susan Schneider reported that her husband had recently suffered from depression – probably due to his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.He started taking parkinsonism medications in May 2014 but only felt small improvements.

The actor was found dead in his own house in the city of Tyberon on August 11, 2014. He was 63 years old. The police confirmed the fact of suicide. The official cause of death is asphyxiation (suffocation).

Robin Williams has won five Academy Awards and Golden Globes. Barry Levinson’s painting “Good Morning, Vietnam” brought him fame. His other works include Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting, August Rush, Bicentennial Man, Where Dreams May Come, Healer Adams, Jumanji and others.

Famous people with multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. The cause is unknown, but in MS, the body’s immune system destroys nerve tissues in the brain and spinal cord. In people with multiple sclerosis, the immune system attacks the protective covering of the nerve fibers, disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body.

Although MS is incurable today, this does not mean that a person diagnosed with MS cannot lead a normal life.There is no doubt that living with the disease can be challenging, but several famous celebrities have shown that people with MS can lead fulfilling and productive lives.

Here are five examples of famous people who continued to live and work after being diagnosed with MS.

Richard Pryor

When comedian Richard Pryor was diagnosed with MS in 1986, it was a surprise because African Americans rarely develop MS.Although Pryor’s film career ended, he continued to perform his popular comedy stunts. Even when he was confined to a wheelchair, he made the audience laugh. Richard Pryor sadly died in 2005 after myocardial infarction, but he remains one of the most famous celebrities to live his life to the fullest and maintain a successful career with MS.

Walter Williams

Walter Williams , co-founder of The O’Jays, has been living with PC since 1983.After he developed his first MS symptoms during the tour, doctors were unable to figure out what was going on. After finally being diagnosed, he did not tell anyone about it for nearly 30 years and continued performing during that time. Williams later admitted that he had difficulty with complex dance moves.

Williams has made caring for his body a top priority. Currently in his 70s, Williams has managed to maintain his work schedule through medicine and lifestyle changes.

Montel Williams

Montel Williams announced his diagnosis in 1999 on a popular talk show. His first symptoms were revealed when he was at the Naval Academy, in 1980 he suddenly lost 80% of his vision in his left eye. He was examined, but no one suspected MS. When his vision returned, he continued to serve as a naval intelligence officer for 22 years. Despite experiencing symptoms, Montel continued to serve.

At age 43, doctors determined that Montel suffered from 90,033 relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis . Williams said it was like hitting him with a brick. He suffered from severe pain and depression. With the support and love of his family, he learned everything he could about MS. He began helping fund research on the disease.

Williams has made a lifestyle change. He pays special attention to food labels and avoids sugar, salt and highly processed foods.Although he has always been active, Williams continues to exercise every day. Montel Williams is still in pain and is taking medications to help manage her illness. He continues to enjoy life, snowboarding, and not letting the disease take over.

Clay Walker

Singer Clay Walker was diagnosed with MS in 1996 at the age of 26, when his musical career was on the rise. He has just completed his fourth album and has had his first daughter.Walker initially received a negative prognosis that included life in a wheelchair and death within 8 years. Thanks to the right treatment and lifestyle, he has been in remission since 1998.

In 2003, he formed a group against multiple sclerosis, an organization providing information to people living with MS and raising funds to help find a cure for multiple sclerosis. Walker has sold over 11 million albums. He follows a healthy organic diet and an exercise program in addition to his medication.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler

Actress Lynn Jamie Sigler , best known for her role as Meadow Sopranos on the hit television show The Sopranos, was diagnosed with MS at the age of 20. She had symptoms such as weakness on the right side and difficulty walking for an extended period of time. Sigler hid her illness for many years. Today she is the wife and mother of a young son. While pregnant, her illness went into remission and she was able to give birth to a healthy baby.She had no symptoms for quite some time, but was only very tired.

Although she moves slowly and often needs rest, she hopes to have another baby. In addition to her healthy lifestyle, she takes injections and infusions. With the help of the drug Dimethyl fumarate, her symptoms have become stable over the past 6 years. Sigler looks ahead and watches her son grow up, spends a lot of time with her husband, and just lives his life.

These five people are just a small number of celebrities living with multiple sclerosis. Other famous celebrities with the disease:

• Tamia Hill , singer;
• Teri Garr , actress;
• Trevor Bane , youngest racer in NASCAR history to win a Daytona 500.

While everyone is fighting for their lives, they have been able to return to full and productive lives through medicine and a healthy lifestyle.

Human lifestyle is very important in the fight against MS

Recommended lifestyle changes for people with MS:

• Adequate rest;
• Gymnastics;
• Balanced nutrition;
• Smoking cessation.

Some people diagnosed with MS may experience persistent worsening of their symptoms. The rate of progression varies and depends on individual characteristics, as well as on the severity and frequency of relapses. The diagnosis does not mean that the patient will be confined to a wheelchair or die.Thanks to advances in medicine, people with MS can live normal lives. Early diagnosis, early treatment, and lifestyle choices can help people fight disease.

MONTEL WILLIAMS MS RUTINE: juice diet and regular exercise

September 27, 2016

Actor, author and TV Talk Talk Show Host Montel Williams was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1999 at the age of 43.Over the years, he has raised awareness of the disease by starting a founding (no longer in service) to support research into Multiple Sclerosis, appearing on TV shows such as

Show Oprah Winfrey

and

Larry King lives

talk about MS, and, in 2013, launching online

health and fitness

show.

In 2016 Williams, longtime supporter

Medical marijuana

started medical

cannabis

A company called Lenitivlabs.

In 2013, the following interview was conducted with Williams as he was about to debut his online show. (Show no longer produced.) Williams talked about his

High fruit diet,

Daily exercise routine and thoughts about depression.

Everyday Health: Tell us about your new show. How will this address MS?

Montel Williams:



It is called

Living well with Montell

Refusal

Every week we will have a completely new show and in January we will have two.

I am launching what I think will be a new format for TV. I’m only going to run the show on the internet community. We have a premium membership that will have access to the show, but tons of other innovative new information – anything related to health and wellness.

The site will have significant information about MS. I am also going to share my personal journey. But it’s not just to solve MS: We’ll discuss all of women’s health issues to male health problems to children’s health.

I intend to provide information to people so that they can look at their health and seek information that is relevant to them. Most of the medical shows I’ve seen are a lot of information.

We will have information about

the exercise

,

about health, but about recipes, and then we’re going to invite our community to exchange information that we check.

We must be our own medical hands and learn about the disease before we enter the doctor’s office so that we know

the right questions

ask.

EH: How do you use diets to stay healthy and manage your chronic condition?

MW:

I eat a different diet. It is extremely anti-inflammatory.

Studies have proven that green vegetables and fruits are the color of

high in antioxidants

that you can’t get anywhere. I go to the store – whatever it has colors, I buy it. I chew on whole fruits and vegetables.I will mix all the fruits and I just make a smoothie.

Each of my smoothies has

coconut water

in that. I use this as a base and then combine four or five fruits with it: watermelon,

a pineapple

, apple and

blueberry

And I put spinach in it and drink this throughout the day.

I can drink 15 fruits a day. Nobody is going to sit down and eat this. I drink about 48 ounces a day. This is about 50 percent of what I eat.And then I have one meal a day with some protein. I restrict calories.

EH: What’s your workout?

MW:

When it comes to training,

Everyone must find what works for them

Refusal

I watch my body. I look at myself in the mirror once a week – not because I am in vain, but I am looking for moles and changes in my body.

For me, I exercise every morning.I exercise every day. I work for about an hour and 20 minutes, which

aerobics

and

resistance training

Disclaimer I’m working on agility and balance. I am working on things that are going to help my condition. I am doing agility training. I walk on a treadmill. I am using elliptical. I use weights.

It doesn’t matter if my time is 20 minutes or an hour. I’m moving, which means I’m walking better for the rest of the day. This is information that we can all use.

EH: You’ve had several severe bouts of mental illness. What are you doing to take care of your mind?

MW:

The best thing I have done for my emotional health is getting the right diagnosis. I had every doctor’s doctor diagnose me as

clinical depression

but the truth is I was diagnosed with

Emotional lability

,

which can lead to uncontrollable crying.

It is a disorder that will damage the brain. When you look at MS, the scars in my brain are brain damage.

I do not suffer and do not feel that I am suffering from anything that is not normal. We want to be happy all the time, but real people experience feelings and learn to deal with them. When these feelings prevail, as if you are leaving, and you are sad all the time, then you have a problem. But most of the time, sadness isn’t depression. For many people who have MS,

depression is part of the disease

But this is not a life situation.

We go through periods when we feel worse, then better. We need to stop beating ourselves up for something that felt as bad as we think we feel. Let’s get a real diagnosis. Let’s make sure we’re really depressed and let’s start working on these things we can work on. Even if you are clinically depressed, doctors are trying to get you out of this hole.

We are more in control than we think. The second thing that I began to realize was that instead of walking around defining myself as someone who was depressed, I was having better days.This is the philosophy of Montel Williams.

You can talk to yourself in a good emotional state. I stop for a second, take a deep breath and think about what is beautiful. A beautiful thought for me is cutting the umbilical cord for my baby. I can guarantee you that your emotional state will change.

Eh:

What is your biggest health problem, and what are you doing to overcome it?

MW:

Correctly at this moment I am trying to overcome this reduction in my pain threshold.I can hurt myself and I don’t know I did it because I don’t feel pain in the same way as other people. I am trying to get a grip on how to handle this in the future.

I train every day, but I also pushed myself too hard and I need to figure out how not to do it. I broke my intrusion but still worked out on it every day.

I broke a rib, and it wasn’t until it happened that I went to the dock and said, “It hurts, but not that bad.”This is the idiot that I am. If someone had the right pain threshold, it would be painful enough to convince me to go to the doctor.

I could kick the curb and not realize that I broke my sock. I work with a Podiatrist and therapist to convey my workouts.

Eh:

What advice do you have for someone newly diagnosed with MS?

MW:

Look for as much information as possible, and

become your own medical attorney.You need to go online, study and study as much as you can. Voil yourself before you see the doctor so you have relevant questions.

90,000 Your personal best: Montel Williams 2021 – News

At 3 am, most people, even the most successful people, sleep deeply, resting for the next
challenging day. Not Montel Williams. Daytime Talk Show Emmy Winner Stays
Wake up and stay awake late into the night with only four hours of sleep on average. For him, maximizing every hour of every day is
a necessity.
He oversees five businesses, a charitable foundation and a new syndicated radio talk show, and plans new projects in the
work. All this while fighting multiple sclerosis, a disease that keeps him in almost constant pain.

Williams admits he’s busy to distract himself from health problems, but says the rush he gets from multitasking is
driving him away. “I hate to say that, but I’m like a drug addict,” he says. “I’m
an information junkie.”
Williams’ new radio show, Montel Across America , debuted on Air America Media in April.

90,030 Williams’ most of his business interests grew out of his
bestselling motivational books by the New York Times, aimed at
helping people live life to the fullest. His Live Well Empire now
includes a food processor and pain relief product, and soon
includes self-help tutorials and a member-only organization
designed to help others live healthy, active, successful 9035 lives. He also recently launched a series of one-day
symposia led by Williams and select speakers,
designed to bring his books and website to life.
“It’s not just for people who get sick,” Williams says
, referring to his fight with MS. “This message is
for everyone. We are the only animals with a gift of
to choose from. Animals react to instincts, but we are
to make decisions based on judgment. You have
Choices; You can give up or do something better. special; Anyone can
do it. ”

for several months,

his career. Then, 90,035 in the winter of 2008, CBS TV unexpectedly
canceled its talk show after Williams made 90,035 comments criticizing media coverage of the
Iraq War, appearing on Fox & Friends .

The sudden end of his 17-year-old Emmy
Show was a hard blow, but one
Williams was able to sort it out, thanks to
his outlook on life and his battle with
debilitating disease. “Life is dynamic, not
static,” he says. “You go up one day and fall
the next.”

For Williams, the end of the program paled in comparison to
for multiple sclerosis. “It was a roller coaster with MS. I
had bad days that made me want to take my life.Initially I looked at
on this as the last nail in my coffin …. I questioned my
value and
asked, why I am , like everyone else. ”

But every time he was discouraged, Williams
kept going back to the first rule he
lives for the
guide. “I alone determine who I am. I own this
definition. The doctor identified me
as someone
who will be in a wheelchair at

but I have not been in any yet.

Each of the obstacles he encountered brought
Williams to this point. The cancellation of 90,035 of his TV show led to his 90,035 national radio program. His battle with

The Living Well Method is about paying attention to the
obstacles in your life,” he says.“If you can

personally, financially and physically.”

90,030 Williams’ captive followers bought his books 90,035 thousand Many are looking for financial freedom, 90,035 others are looking for happiness, and some see him as an inspiration
in the fight against a disease that cannot be cured. “Whether you’re a
Celebrity TV or a scavenger, we all treat things the same way.
People can relate to the obstacles I faced. I had people call or write
to me to say that I voiced something that they could not articulate.
If you can help someone with a gift you received, you are
obligated to help that person. If you don’t help, I think you will end up
to lose this gift.

People follow the creed of the Living Good for various reasons, but
Williams says that everyone strives to satisfy the same fundamental
need, whether they know it or not – happiness.“Happiness
is elusive,” he says fervently. “At the dawn of man, people
were looking for this; it really is the Holy Grail.” So what defines happiness? fosters strong relationships. If it’s that

The program certainly works for Williams, who is

he warns fans that not every day is going to be perfect.But
he
never allows pain in his legs to distract his
goals and dreams. “If I can wake up and say I did 90,035 something yesterday, that’s a good feeling,” he says. “I’m not 90,035 special – it’s a conscious decision to ignore my pain and focus on 90,035 others. We all have the strength to do that.”

“If I want to do 10 companies, I will do 10; Stop me! “

In addition to new efforts for his MS fund, Williams, who is estimated to spend nearly $ 3000 a month on drugs to treat his MS
, is increasingly focusing on his growing partnership with
insurance companies offering medicines at reduced prices for uninsured 90,035 or underinsured citizens.He knows the challenges they face and,
while programs like his go a long way in relieving their financial burden
, Williams can’t help getting them to take decision
into their own hands. “Disaster is a trampoline, an opportunity

Serzh Sargsyan received the production team of the film “Architecture of Denial”

On March 6, President Serzh Sargsyan received Dean Kane and Montel Williams, members of the production team of the documentary “Architecture of Denial”, and their families, who are in Armenia in connection with the Yerevan premiere of the film.

The President of the Republic shared with them his impressions of the film, which was presented yesterday to the Armenian audience at the “Moscow” cinema.Serzh Sargsyan stressed that in his opinion, he is of great importance in the international recognition and condemnation of genocides, including the Armenian Genocide. Serzh Sargsyan noted that he was greatly impressed by this film, which won wide recognition both in the United States and in other countries, and which, on the basis of rich documentary material, once again actually restores and reaffirms the truth that denial gives rise to crimes. and that recognition and condemnation are probably the most important means of preventing these crimes.

“I think that the importance of this film is also that despite a lot of talk about this issue in the scientific community, there is a lack of documentary films on this issue, and the film“ Architecture of Denial ”makes up for this deficiency. And the parallels between today’s reality and the events of 100 years ago are very important. I was also interested in the fact that I think you meant to say that denial, no matter how it happens, has a lot in common.That is, the performers know in advance what they will deny later and are also sure that this denial will pass, since it was so in the past. Of course, the parallel between the Armenian Genocide and the events that are taking place in Nagorno-Karabakh-Artsakh today was very interesting, ”President Sargsyan said and expressed gratitude to the film’s production team and, through them, to all those who contributed to the creation of this film.

For his significant contribution to the international recognition of the Armenian genocide and the prevention of genocides and crimes against humanity, President Serzh Sargsyan awarded the high state award of the Republic of Armenia – the Order of Honor to producer, screenwriter Montel Brian Williams and actor, producer Dean George Kane.

Film producers Dean Kane and Montel Williams, on their own behalf and on behalf of their families, expressed gratitude to President Sargsyan for attending the Yerevan premiere of the film and considered it a great honor to be received at the President’s residence.

The producers expressed the hope that the film they have made will help change perceptions about the problem presented not only in the United States, but also around the world. For any documentary filmmaker who prepares such films, according to producers Dean Kane and Montel Williams, it is important to watch the result of his work with other people and see the reaction of those people who are watching the film at that moment.
