SHOCKING: Serious Complications of Rheumatoid Arthritis!

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the joints. Recognizing the early signs and symptoms of RA is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
In this video you will understand the dangerous signs and complications that you should not ignore!
If left untreated, RA can significantly impact various aspects of daily life, causing persistent discomfort and reducing mobility. The chronic inflammation associated with RA can contribute to widespread health issues, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and effective management.
Timely intervention not only helps in alleviating symptoms but also in preventing long-term damage and maintaining a better quality of life.
It's crucial for individuals with RA to work closely with healthcare professionals to develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to their needs.
If you experience any of these symptoms, consulting a healthcare professional is essential for proper evaluation and treatment.
Early intervention can significantly improve quality of life and prevent long-term joint damage.

    Excellent information and advice.I was taken to hospital on the 10 May 2024 and put on a painkiller anti biotic drip and was told my blood analysis was unusual. I have the symptoms of this disease. My left knee was swelled up and locked and was very painful then my leg and foot swelled. Now June 15 2024 I am a lot better even though my ankle and foot are slightly swollen and ache and itch they are nothing like they were before. I went on a vegetable diet and its definitely working after reading an amazing book 'Forks Over Knives' At this stage I am about 80% cured and soon hopefully it will be 100% !!!!! I still get the tingling in my left foot and the aching that is not so bad as it was and I don't need pain killers for. A year back I had gout which I cured by natural medicine but none worked this time. After looking at this video I realised how serious this disease is. My next course is to follow this hospital plane I have been informed of which is another blood test. So here's hoping I will be free from this soon!!!!

    Me too. After several years of seeing different Rheumatologists with the same diagnosis I’m trying to accept it. My first diagnosis was Sjogrens in 2008. My new Rheumatologist #7 upon consult basically said after looking at my hands that he was sure I a didn’t have RA. After labs he said you have RA and MCTD. I said but I don’t have swelling in my hands and his comment was hold tight it’s coming. I now wonder after this video if it’s effecting organs as first dx was 2010 and still no swelling which is why I didn’t believe I had RA. I have lots of symptoms but is it RA. My neck is very crunchy and hurts as does my back. Aside from steroids and Plaqenil which I don’t like medication I’m trying to lower Inflammation without meds. I heard long term plaquenil causes cancer. Not sure that’s true.

    Very educational and informative video. Thank you, Dr. Yu for all the information you provide. My RA started in my neck...it was very painful. I do have a question for you? Have you heard of the RA vaccine founded by the University of Toledo in Ohio? The vaccine is based on 14 3 3 Zeta protein. It's currently in clinical trials.

    Yes....i've known this for decades...i was diagnosed with it in my spine at age 13....they said it could attack my internal organs...and they said it's not a real Arthritis..& it's not. It's an Autoimmune deficiency, where the body's reaction to imbalance is to attack itself....i had Rheumatic Fever as a small child & I remember the family Dr said i would have Rheumatoid Arthritis when i grew up.....TODAY...Doctors argue that is false, but, it did happen..just as he said it would.

    Think positive? Go to a good naturopath or Dr. Yu/functional Dr and get all the testing…mold, heavy metals, Lyme, food sensitivity, etc and look into stem cells. Healing is possible…and think positively while taking those actions. Traditional md’s don’t get this training that dr’s like Dr. Yu have added .

I' m taking Calcium Aspartate Anhydrous from Ezorb, it said" does not need participation of vitamin D for better calcium absorption"', so do I still need to take vitamin D? thank you so much for the great video

    Autoimmune disease is poorly named…should be named immune dis regulation. It’s not just genetics, it’s generally caused by infection, or other environmental toxicity. Also RA can be effectively treated many ways including stem cells to modulate the immune system response. The challenge for you as a practitioner is that us patients have a quick fix mentality vs a healing one. Many diseases can be drastically improved but it takes time. Those are my challenges

    My mom had RA for about 40 years and passed away from a combination of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. It’s very important to monitor heart and circulatory health. There are definite food sensitivities. My question is if certain blood types are more inclined to have this disease?
