Personal note, I have a bad hip, I've known it was so since I was 7 years old. A birth defect in the cartilage, I speculate. Anyways, it is 100% asymptomatic since I've been off dairy (dairy was a huge trigger for it flaring up.) I have run 100 miles in a week of training for marathons and never had the slightest trouble with it. That said, a couple weeks ago I indulged in some wine. Well. WOW. My hip was so inflamed I could barely walk! Apparently the alcohol triggered some sort of inflammation. A week later, the pain went away and I'm perfectly fine again:) No residual discomfort, and my full range of motion is back. So.....NO WINE FOR ME, THANKS! And yes. It is events like these, which make me happy to be so sensitive to my diet. It keeps me honest! And...it is remarkable (night and day!!!) the difference diet makes, in the way I feel.
I miss you Dr. Dougall thank you for all you have done too help us live a better life! Your the best! When I don't have answers too medical problems you're one of my go to Dr.s.
Thank you. I just got diagnosed. And I’ve been plant based for 15 years. I needed this. Was having doubts. So much in TH-cam for carnivore diets fixing Rheumatoid Arthritis. I really needed this. Cause I’m truly happy eating plant based. I do not crave dairy or meat at all!
I was getting bad shoulder pain, knee soreness, some times the hands would freeze up a little. Eliminated the last animal products I was still eating and it all vitality went away. Unless I eat white flour. whole wheat is no problem. Cycling helps to loosen everything up. And shoulder exercises. I am baking my own bread now as I write this.
He knows what he says, and he says only what he knows. Simple is as simple does. A true straight shooter, a RARE find in today's clickbait driven media landscape.
Symptoms can reduce with either but to actually get rid of the antibodies and be well I would go full whole plants with a ton of cruciferous and flax or chia for omega 3s like Dr. Goldner's goodbye autoimmune protocol. Haven't seen any omnivores or carnivores actually reverse the disease and be well for real
I am 59 yrs old. Been on hydrochloriquine 12 years for RA. I recently developed a terrible rash and hives. My dr thinks I have become allergic to my medication. Now i am on steroids temporarily because the rash is so severe. We have stop the medication of course but she said it stays in your system for three months. She also said RA can remain dormant in your system and come back with a fury so I need to be on some thing. I am very exasperated and becoming depressed about the whole situation. By the way my joints are fine and otherwise I feel very good
Interesting - I never really thought about the denaturation of proteins with respect to food sensitivities before. Due to its acidic environment, fermentation also must cause denaturation of proteins. This probably explains why some people have problems with edamame but can eat fermented soy products such as tofu.
@@Xassefras Ah - you are correct. As part of tofu production, though, the soybean paste is heated to a boiling temperature, so the proteins are still denatured.
That proves that "whole" is not always better and sometimes may not be good. There is nothing wrong with simple non whole foods like tofu that don't have any bad ingredients added.
In a situation like that, I say experiment on yourself. Eat LOADS of fresh fruit for 6 months, and get your blood tested. Then, eat NO fruit for 6 months and get your blood tested. See which works better for you;)
That was my first symptom of RA. I lost the use of my left thumb. I thought I must have injured it at work. But then it was my neck and left foot, and then it eventually spread to all of my joints.
Wish I could do the diet but I'm too tired to cook or prepare food. Plus loss of appetite makes it hard to even eat food that I enjoy like pizza and hot wings. Loss of appetite and fatigue stops me from proper dieting.
Fill your plate with tons of veg really loads then add something protein or carb , and if necessary add a treat at the end and drink glass of water or wine ! With meal chew everything 30 times ,put utensils down between bites ,this is all harder than it sounds actually good luck!
Why is it taking so long, 4 the government, doctors, Insurance Agency to back up a plant bass diet? Money needs to get out of big business. After you make a couple million dollars you should be taxed 75% of your gross income regards. Thanks Doc for telling us the truth about a whole plant diet. The religious people needs to think about the ring of fire.
Go on a raw vegan diet eating only raw fruits and raw veggies and raw seeds and spring water. Eliminate oils and meat and dairy and gluten and your body will heal. Follow Dr. Robert Morse and read Dr. Michael Greger's book How Not to Die.
@@pinkiepinkster8395 yes! Thanks for that! I’m there now for about six weeks. I was getting brow beaten from a cardio surgeon looking for a quick buck and i needed to hear this again
Not without the food. I was bicycling at least five miles a day plus had a physically demanding job (and eating the McDougall diet) when I developed RA. I wound up using my bike as a walker, could no longer ride, could barely walk.
@@lisalamphier1410 When you have some kind of autoimmune condition (RA), you have to seriously become Raw Vegan eater Avoid all : Processed food Animally- sourced foods Chemical food additives ( So, you are eliminating any triggering factors) Then you should seriously go to graceful yoga exercises Fast movement will be damage joints further You have to utilize your mind power too, to activate your body healing mechanism ( Meditation) Because, ultimately the mind has ability to heal.

@@abideenturky yes, a raw diet would have worked but I managed to recover on a starch based diet (McDougall diet minus wheat). I've been recovered for more than two years, am in great shape, back to cycling miles a day. I'm 65 years old.

Thank you Doctor for helping my dad in michigan fight his lung cancer. The truth about food is finally clear to our family.

Unsung hero. Thank you Dr. McDougall 🙏🏼
I healed my arthritis on the whole food plant based diet
I became arthritic on WFPB. No wheat either. 🤷♀️
@@LoveLove-fx9hf are you still using plant oils?
@@aliarock No
How long did it take to be healed? Do you ever have flares still?
Ohh!!! I see... Interesting.. but how long it takes to heal?
I was getting bad shoulder pain, knee soreness, some times the hands would freeze up a little. Eliminated the last animal products I was still eating and it all vitality went away. Unless I eat white flour. whole wheat is no problem. Cycling helps to loosen everything up. And shoulder exercises. I am baking my own bread now as I write this.
Would love your bread recipe
The animals will thank you
Whole plant based (strictly no oil) put my RA into remission
What about the higher oxalate
that are contributing to arthritis and joint pain all these are found in a lot of the plant-based food
Thank you so much for sharing DR MCDOUGALL YOU ARE AWESOME and AMAZING and so is your WIFE MARY MCDOUGAL
Dr.McDougal--you are amazing. Thank you.😊
Dr. McDougall: He is the best!
He knows what he says, and he says only what he knows. Simple is as simple does. A true straight shooter, a RARE find in today's clickbait driven media landscape.
Thank you ❤️❤️
Thank you Dr. MacDougall, that is such a better approach ❤
I was diagnosed with still’s disease in 2006 , at the age of 26. I’ve lived with chronic , debilitating pain for the past 18 years .
People seem to have good success getting rid of RA symptoms with either plant based or carnivore.
Symptoms can reduce with either but to actually get rid of the antibodies and be well I would go full whole plants with a ton of cruciferous and flax or chia for omega 3s like Dr. Goldner's goodbye autoimmune protocol. Haven't seen any omnivores or carnivores actually reverse the disease and be well for real

Doesn't raw food and fruits work even better on these things?
What about osteoarthritis??

Tofu isn't a fermented product, though tempeh is.

I would like to ask him why he says to limit fruit and mastering diabetes says you can eat unlimited fruit.
In a situation like that, I say experiment on yourself. Eat LOADS of fresh fruit for 6 months, and get your blood tested. Then, eat NO fruit for 6 months and get your blood tested. See which works better for you;)
@@peter5.056 The other way around would be more sensible.
The sugar (fructose) is inflammatory.
@@mandyleeson1 Lol, no it isn't.
Makes sense
Dr. McDougall , would you please consider doing an in-depth video on the causes of Acne and the best dietary treatment for Acne?
Best is to stop playing games
@@jinshark9078 you sound like you have 0 fun in your life LOL
Rye? I read it was gluten free. Confused.
I bake my own bread now, I dont trust that store bought stuff.
Can this diet correct osteoarthritis?
Always in my left thumb joint, if I eat the wrong food.
are these sulfur rich foods?
That was my first symptom of RA. I lost the use of my left thumb. I thought I must have injured it at work. But then it was my neck and left foot, and then it eventually spread to all of my joints.
What is working well for you now?
Wish I could do the diet but I'm too tired to cook or prepare food. Plus loss of appetite makes it hard to even eat food that I enjoy like pizza and hot wings. Loss of appetite and fatigue stops me from proper dieting.
🧡
What about Eczema?
Is rheumatoid arthritis joint pain? Neck, shoulders, back?❤
it is joint pain, stiffness, swelling. It tends to mirror on both sides of the body - so if your right thumb is inflamed, so is your left.
I am eating the wheat product I suffering in hashimoto disease please tell the message
Eating wheat/gluten will make hashimotos worse, gluten is one of the biggest inflammatory foods. You don’t have to be celiac.
any tips on how to stop eating? i can’t stop eating, it’s like i’m addicted.
Eat carnivore diet , no food addiction clean and healthy
Fill your plate with tons of veg really loads then add something protein or carb , and if necessary add a treat at the end and drink glass of water or wine ! With meal chew everything 30 times ,put utensils down between bites ,this is all harder than it sounds actually good luck!
thank u so much for the thought & time
@@aCloudspov check also if you're not anemic - makes you hungry all the time!
@@bllou check also about hiperthirod and diabetes . BOth curse with crazy appetite
🙏🙏🌿
My mum dies of cancer before that she had rheumatoid arthritis do u think there is a connection?
Was your mom on meds for the RA? also sorry she passed.
No.

Death warmed over😢its the diet!!
its the FOOOD go vegan :D
Vegan does not mean healthy.
4:12 step further...animal proteins; 5:20 elimination diet
Dr. Should i get a bypass surgery? Can i save myself still?

@@pinkiepinkster8395 yes! Thanks for that! I’m there now for about six weeks. I was getting brow beaten from a cardio surgeon looking for a quick buck and i needed to hear this again
The cardio-surgeon gave me 5 years to live. I went on the McDougall Plan. That was almost 30 years ago!
The best diet for joint health:
Exercise ( walking, swimming, cycling)
Not without the food. I was bicycling at least five miles a day plus had a physically demanding job (and eating the McDougall diet) when I developed RA. I wound up using my bike as a walker, could no longer ride, could barely walk.

When you have some kind of autoimmune condition (RA), you have to seriously become Raw Vegan eater
Avoid all :
Processed food
Animally- sourced foods
Chemical food additives
( So, you are eliminating any triggering factors)
Then you should seriously go to graceful yoga exercises
Fast movement will be damage joints further
You have to utilize your mind power too, to activate your body healing mechanism
( Meditation)
Because, ultimately the mind has ability to heal. Food doesn't have it
Only bad foods acts like slow poisonous obnoxious, in the long run.
