The only comment I have... is that for people with intolerances, it might be difficult.

I cannot do cabbage... haven't been able for YEARS.
But I have that twisted GI tract from birth, which is pretty rare, that others don't. For those who cannot digest this much veggies I suggest BEANO. I use it now when I have lots of gas producing veggies. (but I still cannot tolerate cabbage). Lots of cabbage and its relatives may also suppress thyroid functions.

One can obtain lots of sulfur from eggs. And nuts:

If you look at this chart you'll see sulfur can be had from many other foods in larger amounts that in the veggies she listed.
Here is iodine:

Also something to consider: When you eat alot of vegetables, there are phytates in them that complex out zinc. Vegans therefore are at risk for becoming zinc deficient if they are not careful.

I also cannot do nightshades, esp the peppers. I can avoid potatoes without much difficulty.

I do see she eliminated gluten, and dairy...both are huge triggers in leaky gut, and could have been the real cause of her issues basically.

It was interesting seeing her chart on nutrients that are commonly low in the US.

Doctors go thru intense training, in school and in their internship/residencies. No time for quality food intake or eating and sleeping. This alone could have triggered her MS.

I see her recommendations as useful, but perhaps not 100% applicable by everyone equally.
