I think the science is all over the place on diets, because what we eat, doesn't cause the inflammation, it only affects how we cope with it. The air we breathe is the root cause of the inflammation, this is why the science is all over the place on diets. Eating a healthy diet while breathing inflammatory air, is less effective than eating, any old diet, while breathing non inflammatory air. What makes it complicated, is that we are all breathing inflammatory air, we just don't all have the same ability to cope with it. We don't all have the same brakes for slowing down the inflammatory process, some of us have very effective brakes and we don't need a special diet and others aren't so lucky. The unlucky ones need to come at the inflammation from every angle they can, as you explain with all the different sections of the video.

My 1st and major step is "Not watching American political news". that helps to reduce as much as possible the stress to your body. 2nd: anti-inflammatory nutrition 3rd: Moving

I was diagnosed with RA and Crest syndrome in October 2023 and I am working to heal from these conditions by eating a WFPB diet. I've eliminated meat ,dairy, and processed foods and oils from my diet. I am also using fitness by walking ,stretching and yogo to keep my body moving and relieve stiffness. I get a massage bi-weekly and meditate to manage symptoms and stress. I am starting to feel better and hopeful that I'm headed in the direction of recovery.

RA causes muscle wasting. Skipping animal protien is risky.

A few years ago in my mid 50s I had a very bad accident. It took me 2 years of physical therapy to be where I am now, which is still not the same as before the accident. Post PT, I saw a rheumatologist for all my body pains which felt like I was in enough pain I wasn't sure how long I could live like that. The rheumatologist ran a lot of tests and found out I have no autoimmune diseases but I have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. Through experimentation with foods and some exercise it's helped to control my pain better. Unfortunately the damage to my knee was fairly bad and eventually I will need a replacement. But I am able to walk a mile every other day. The walking, control of the amount of sugar, and going to as much of a whole food diet has helped control my pain to where it is now tolerable. One thing I found is that berries seem to affect my body negatively. Also, was wondering if there is research into dairy causing inflammation in mainly those that are lactose intolerant?

I was vegetarian. Gave up gluten and Fibromyalgia and TMJ went away in 3 days, never to return. Just gave up dairy about 2 weeks ago and my arthritis is much reduced and still improving. I find that nightshades are not an issue, but almost anything with protein is.

Sushine is a healer people.Driving and watching Tv is not healthy.

My rheumatoid factor is 28… I started eating red meat and homemade yogurt (from Dr William Davis’s book super gut) for my gut health. I’ve been eating 90% carnivore for the last few weeks and the difference has been almost day and night. I’m also very active and sleep as much as I can.

I have been using 1 table spoon of apple cider vinegar with honey once a day and never had any flare up. Twice a day if ate lots of red meat. I can also eat everything with no problem. It works for me perfectly.

Welcome!

Doctor great video. I have ankylosing Spondylitis and take consentyx every month. I’m on vitamin D3 and K2, magnesium, and my question for you are probiotics. My microbe is off and like you suggest my big focus is my gut. So diet changes, yes. Do you recommend a probiotic every day. I took one from Pure Encapsulates for a month and I saw good changes however a month my ibs type symptoms came back with fatigue, etc. if you recommend a probiotic supplement, which probiotics do you recommend? Thank you.

I wish it would really be that easy.. but unfortunately is often not enough.. I'm with psoriasic arthritis and already doing all of this, and much more, for more than a year.. but joints and tendons still inflamed, constantly.. keep up the good work anyway, and since all of this could in any case help alleviating the symptoms, just honestly also keep expectations at check, since often anyway not enough..

anti inflam foods. no sugar proceed food helps alot.Exercise.Ta video

I got a DNA test to show what I was sensitive to with regards to food. Then, I started eating according to my blood type. So far, it's working. I believe, based on where we are from in the world, and our skin color determines our diet also. I've noticed eating "desperation foods", like those eaten by people from colder climates, isn't good for people with darker skin, usually from places where fresh food is available year round.

Staying on minocycline antibiot8c is only thing that took away my arthritis pain

Plant based would make me flare. I eat low carb now. I was misdiagnosed and by the time I got to the right doc, it could not be stopped. Sitting here with a major flare, 22 years in and the RA is very aggressive.

Yes, me as well. I'm 80/20 beef to veg now. It's too late. Arthritis in my hip and knee had destroyed me. Now my inflammation has been reduced a great deal. I'm waking so much better now. With supplements is defeated neuropathy. Still need a hip replacement. Maybe knee as well.

Should we take medicines or only diet control can reverse arthritis

I cant do plant based. My gut hurts. I do well with meat and organic vege. But i have never done it long enough alone, without bingeing sugars and carbs, to know if it works. I have leaky gut so i am focusing on healing my gut with the GAPS protocol.

Do these recommendations also help osteoarthritis?

I find it so frustrating that my Rheumatologist does not focus on anything outside of the 25 pills and weekly injections I'm on. I bring up removing processed foods and focusing more on cleaner eating and he says "well it won't hurt you but it won't cure your disease" I appreciate the information your video's present and will be making improvements in my diet, it can't hurt. Would you do a video on things like methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, biologics and possible benefits/health concerns related to those. Is there foods that help lessen damages to the liver causes by those meds? Thank you

There is a lab that tests for food reactions that my sister recommends for her patients. I took it and it has helped me so much to be able to identify some common trigger foods that I had been reacting to and gives me a very precise way to eliminate them without having to do without other important food. It’s so nice to have some guidance with this and the tests show which foods show certain markers that indicate inflammatory levels of your particular sensitivity to each food. You get the results back directly too. The lab she uses and who I went through is called Immuno Labs. You can easily find them on line. You can connect with them that way you can call them. There are others but that’s the only one I’m familiar with. (Immuno Labs). Immuno labs will give you the results back directly so you can use the information immediately. It’s a shame more doctors don’t know about this….but they can’t know everything 😢 Hope this helps! I think it will

This was great. I have some disagreements but yeah great. It turns out certain diets are hands down better for most people and it's been tested before. While many state certain blood types function well with omni/carnivore diets, when tested(according to NBarnard, Ornish and few others) the whole food plant based diet reversed illnesses in the most reproducible and documented tests. Of course, this is an unpopular fact! Majority couldn't care or stand hearing this.

@imgreen1838

Ай бұрын

Not a direct answer but you can get rid of mold. Even if you remediate or try to treat it medically, you'll still have the mold around your surroundings. You have to get rid of the mold first. For example if the mold is coming from the ceiling or walls, you'll need to check for any liquid leakage above or behind it. For me, I had a mold build up on my ceiling and I found that my bathroom had a leak. Got my tiles fixed and the mold build up stopped.
