Is glucosamine and chondritine not a top supplement for arthritis anymore??? 🧐
its meant more for osteoarthritis. this video was more for rheumatoid and inflammatory arthritis@@MetalBum
Thanks for all your work and suggestions. You are highly appreciated. However are these conditions ever curable?
Fibromyalgia
Tumeric. Vitamin C. Vitamin D. Omega 3. Boswellia.
Thank you Thank you Thank you
First of all thanks for all this info! You missed Dead Sea mud and salt. It’s well known for arthritis pain and especially psoriatic arthritis. There were times my hands and joints were so bad not even cortisone helped. I put the mud on my joints and a day or two later the pain and swelling were almost gone! Bathing in the salt is also good but the mud is a winner!! People go all the way to the Dead Sea to heal there.
Hi Dr. Yu we have almost the same autoimmune disease I have severe RA it starts when I was 24 Y.O . I refused to take Methothraxate, Humira and Plaquinil and just eat healthy foods and did a healthy lifestyle. When I saw your videos it was really a realization that I did the right thing to overcome my arthritis . My arthritis still come and goes but I'm a lot better now for so many years and what I learn is that the best thing to do is to treat this. autoimmune disease conservatively and to take it easy on the medication that promised an instant relief because there is no such thing when you treating arthritis pain . Complication with arthritis medication is the worst . I love your videos .I want to thank you for all your effort helping people with autoimmune problem . And by the way I am also a registered nurse . You are the best Dr. Yu thumbs up !!!
my mominlaw lived with rheumatoid arthritis for years. She take this natural immune supplement called 4Life Transfer Factor that helps with autoimmune diseases. it helps to balance and educate the immune system, and tumeric to reduce inflammation. she's now borderline with good white blood cell counts and doing so well.
The worst thing to lack in life is knowledge. Tnank Dr. Yu. God bless you.
Ivermectin!!!!!! Parasites causes cancer and disease!!
This information is what I needed. Thank you so much!
This is good and joyful channel. Most channels make us worry more.
Thank you so much Dr., you're God sent, may you be blessed
I had VIT C, VIT D3, B Complex, Omega 3, Curcumin w/ Boswella, Spirulina, Magnesium glycinate, CoQ10 and Digestive enzymes for my Autoimmune Rhuematoid Arthritis
Those are great supplements!
Hi, how do you take the spirulina? Separated or altogether? Thanks for share
Does any of it work?
😅
You don't take all that at once do you ? I'd be sick as a dog 😀
Blessings to you Dr, so informative and soothing 🥰
Thank you kindly!

Welcome!
Dr. Yu TY for sharing your experiences w/ everyone. How brave. I'm not a big meat eater but I do chicken and fish. My problem is anemia (same as a dear friend who had her stomach made smaller due to weight). We need a little meat. Last May I had my gallbladder removed. I'm 78 yrs old. I take supplements like Tudca, Oxbile, and HCL. I have pain in my right hand and my ring finger locks when I bend it. My knees are bone on bone and I don't get around much. Once a month I take a trip and must traverse the airports. Arghhh! I've changed my bread to gluten free and take Ouel's Joint capsules w/turmeric, botswela , and other herbs.
Thank you for your great channel! I just discovered it and from the several videos I just watched I've learned so much about managing autoimmune inflammatory diseases! Plant based diet! Bingo!
You are welcome!
Thank you Dr.for this information,i really needed this because recently I was diagnosed with spondylosis in the spine and i have been taking med's with no success.
Thanks so much . I will try this on my mum
Can we please request to remove background music .. it’s very loud and unable to understand what DR is saying .. Thank you
I can't remove it for this video but my recent videos have all removed music
Thank you, that was very helpful.
You're welcome!
Thank you for reminding me to take my MSM 😊
Thanks so much for sharing this! 😊
You are so welcome!
Thank you and God bless you for that information you are giving to us !
You are so welcome
Thank you so much for the above info. Pls advise if I can take more than one different supplement at the same time. Thanks
Thank you so much Doctor for this info. What about Avascular Necrosis and rheumatoid arthritis?
what can you say about it?
Thank you so much. my mother has RA is 218 . My mother has lots of joint pains in legs .
For many years, I used to have a drawer full of supplements for wicked arthritis
. Twenty months ago, I switched to the Carnivore diet. Now no aches and pains whatsoever. Now my only supplements are Vitamin D (during the rainy season), daily electrolytes, and iodine. I'm 75 and am enjoying an arthritis, diabetes, and high blood pressure-free life. I'll never go back to eating sugar, grains and other carbs, seed oils, and fruits and vegetables.
glad to hear about your journey to healing arthritis.
I’ve heard about this diet and I was thinking about trying it myself
@@ingridhoadley6857 For an intro, watch KenDBerry MD Carnivore Checklist.
Thanks for sharing. You are so lucky. I am going to give it a try.
Please help me answer this question doctor so you claim that the vegetarian diet healed your arthritis but this gentleman here claim that the carnivore diet which is the complete opposite heal his journey so what is the take on this? Which diet is the best or should I try both and see what works for me?
Hi DR I just start following your informations about rheumatoid arthritis thank you so much, I have lots of joints pain.
You are very welcome
I'm new to your channel but not new to the idea of healing through diet and supplements, and went through a lifestyle change my that started in '17. I cured and several alements and in the process got hooked on long-distance running, in a way I was reborn.
Fast forward and May of '21 i go sick with Covid.
One of my main symptoms was debilitating pain in my legs.
Fast forward again and I've spent the last few years of struggling with the Long Covid.
One of the main symptoms being RA. At first this was only localized to my legs, knees especially, and my upper left arm and shoulder. I had varing degrees of success with keto and also carnivore diet, and had 3 months over the summer where I even got back into running because the RA had gone into remission so much.
I then suffered a horrible flair-up that put me out of work for 2 months. I got back on my feet, symptoms subsided, but have yet again flared up. This time however targeting my shoulders, arms and hands, more than my legs and knees.
Once again I'm unable to work.
I had a virtual appointment with my new Rheumatologist this week, my old one retired recently.
Previously I was talking Meloxicam daily. The new Rheumatologist now believes I could be suffering from Palindromic Rheumatoid Arthritis. No new bloodwork has been done, yet she prescribed me Methotrexate (6 pills a week + Folic Acid 1 a week ).
This was all new to me and in researching Methotrexate, I really didn't like what I see,... and hence ended up finding your channel.
My question is:
You mentioned using DMARDs for extreme flair-ups, what is considered extreme and how long at what does are these prescribed?
I am out of work because the pain is too debilitating to do the things normally required of me. How I can deal with this and in my mind would rather that the rime to naturally heal. * as a note I'm positive that my lack of sickening to my normal dietary protocol and having a drink here and there over the holidays hasn't helped.
Any input would be greatly appreciated 😊
I hope you find the answers you are seeking. I went thru a few years of arthritis limbo myself. I finally gave up and just suffered thru the flares. Have you seen a functional medicine doctor? I just started seeing one and have high hope to get my whole body on track.
Like your vedeo dr Rigth now im suffering artritis lots of pain now I will follow your advice Gid bless you Dr
Thanks!
Hi Dr. Yu. I’m glad I found your channel! No doc had ever correlated that tumeric supplements caused my liver numbers to go high, even when I told them that was the change I made (in taking Relief Factor) between my last labs. I got referred to a GI who ran a whole gammot of tests- even going up to checking me for liver cirrhosis with a thumping machine!
So my question is, if tumeric supplements aren’t working for my body (actually it helps a lot) with throwing my liver off, then what other supplements should I bulk up on? Btw, I have AS and I can’t Not take anything on a daily basis. I take tumeric(in RF) 3x daily. Thanks so much!!
Love your videos 🙏🏽
Thank you so much!
Turmeric, vitamin D, OM3-FA, frankincense, msm
Frankincense orally, topically??? Please elaborate
Thanks doc🙏🥰
Great video , thank you 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
I love your style. I wish I had stumbled on this earlier as mum experiences so much joint pains. Can you speak a bit on memory loss and skin health plz.
I will. Thank you for watching.
Good work Dr. Currently on prednisolone for RA since December and I want to stop it for this remedy. Can you advise pls?
HELLO Dr thank you so much. I really enjoy your channel
You are so welcome
Thank u for the informative video .....
Welcome!
And also Milk thistle helps to protect the liver.
Great info! How much frankincense do you recommend? Thank you!!
I enjoyed the video,,Thank You 👍
Thank you too!
Watching from morroco ! thank you for all the advices , im kind of lost dr how many UI should i take per day of vitamine D3 ? i have psoriasis and pso arthritis
Very informative, my rheumatologist says foods have nothing to do with RA😢 Can you speak about the jaw cracking and is it RA related?
GREAT VIDEO! Thx, Will you do a video about Lyme and Neuroborreliosis with MS like symptoms?
You may want to look into Low Dose Naltrexone 4.5 mg perhaps. It seems too be effective in Lymes Disease and Auto immune conditions .
Do I take all of these supplements together at once?
Or take whichever (one) works for me when I need it?
I. Like how you mentioned the side effects and dosing cause I took someone else’s advice and ended up in the \ER with stomach pains
I take all of these and they have help immensely .
Great!!

Hi Dr. Micah. What does it mean if you have elevated ESR?
Thank you So Happy I Found you

For clothes stained with turmeric, I swear by washing as usual and then hanging outside in direct sunlight to dry! The sun is great at removing the stains. ☀️
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for info
Hello. Thank you for sharing much needed medical information. Please tell me what I need to take to stop my fingers from getting deformed. Both my little fingers are now deformed at joints, my right hand more. Also, is deformation of joints only a sign of rheumatoid or can it also be another form of form of arthritis?? Thank you.
deformation can be from any arthritis
This Chanel is so good. Thanks for sharing. What about inflammatory arthritis?
Coming soon!
Thank you, thank you, Doctor Yu, for all the good information!! I am taking tumeric, omega 3, Vit D. My Vitamin D labs have always been normal. I took MSM at the beginning of my diagnosis and quit, because it didn't help at all. Thanks again!!
You are so welcome!
Watching from the Philippines...💖🥰thanks for the information Doc...
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for giving us more information about these OTC and helpful supplements
Any time!
I would like to know more about how RA affects muscles, tissue between joints, like between knees and ankles ect. I have lot of pain all over as well as joints. Had seronegative since late teens now 62
Hello, I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I’m presently on methotrexate and folic acid but would like to discontinue with the meds and try reversing this disease naturally. I’ve changed my diet omitting gluten, dairy, meats, I only eat fresh fish, no shellfish, refined sugar and processed foods. I exercise daily, swimming in the ocean, dance, walking but I am still having regular flare ups. I am going to try the supplements you’ve suggested but would like to know if I am to take all of them and how many and the strength for each I should be taking. Thanks
Thank you Dr Yu, can you enlighten us on the roke of collagen, and chondroitun on RA
Wonderfull dr . And thank you
Most welcome 😊
You’re the best!! Conventional medicine ruins other parts of your body instead of getting any better
thank you
Hi i am thinking about trying Manuka honey & apple cider vinegar to supplement my diet in my struggle with RA. Do you think this is worth a try?.
Thank you, doc for so precious information. My daughter was diagnosed with JIA when she was 5. Now she is 10. Because of so many side effects of MTX that I heard of, I did not accept medication for her. Than I started to look for info about this disease, about other ways to help her, than mtx. We started doing Kinetotherapy, excersises in salt water pools, massage with essential oils. It was way better after a short time. But in time my financial possibilities where not the same as in the beginning so we could not go enymore to the pools, kinetotherapists, etc and her health went pretty bad. Last weak the reumatologist has seen her and told we MUST accept MTX. In your opinion, should we do it or should we try once more the "natural way"? Now many of her joints are not "moveable" anymore. Is there way to "fix"something, ir if those joints are already distructive, there is no chance to help?
Thank you in advance for your advise/response
Doctors can't advise strangers online but I have an opinion: try meds. Leave the strongest ones for last if it makes you feel better but you need to help your child ASAP. The disease does permanent damage when left unchecked.
You need a MIRACLE! Please find ALIVE Christian church - people there will PRAY over your daughter and she WILL GET HEALED! Jesus & Holy Spirit do HEAL! Amen!
Thank you 🙏🏼
You’re welcome 😊
What is recommended dosage for tumeric supplements, pill form? Is it better to use spices over pills? Or raw tumeric?
Please do an in depth video on rheumatoid arthritis & its treatment!!!🙏
I will! thanks for watching
Would these be supplements taken everyday? Or should some be taken here and there since they have other tendencies then anti-inflammatory?
Thank you. What about boron and dandelion root? I just started boron supplements and took it years before with a green juice diet and it helped stop the bad flare ups. Sadly over the years my bad American diet is back with menaopause I had bad hot flashes for 2 years and just got on the pill form of estrace, prometrium and 1.5 grain Armour thyroid. No more meneaopause symptoms, but I'm having the worst RA flare up in 10 years. All over joint pain especially my hands and shoulders I'm thinking it's the estradiol. I'm 60 and had a, hysterectomy at 35. Bio identical progesterone cream for the last 15 years I think helped keep menaopause at bay til a couple yeas ago. My bone density is good, but had to have RFA twice for disk spondylitis in lower back. I'm too young for this, lol. Any advice. Turmeric upsets my stomach. I have stomach issues but they said H pylori was the cause nothing else.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Can you please discuss serious osteoporosis with us? Thank you.
Will do! thanks..
In 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, I discovered that I had rhematoid arthritis. I was in a very bad moment, I was feeling a lot of pain and when I went to the rheumatologist, after tests, she gave me the diagnosis. In 2021, I arrived in the United States from Brazil and since then I have been studying about my disease and videos about it have helped me a lot. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
I, too, found out I have rheumatoid arthritis during the pandemic. After doing some research about breast implant illness, I realized my auto-immune disease and rheumatoid arthritis were caused by my breast implants. Once I removed my implants, my morning stiffness went away the very next day. It's been 5 months since my explant surgery, my flare-ups are gone, my swollen knuckles and feet are back to normal. My liver enzymes were also high, causing body rashes prior to my explant. However, the rashes are now gone, and my liver enzymes are reducing. Diet and lifestyle choices play a big role with the road to recovery 🙏🏽
What did you eat and how you recovered from it
@marythomas3117 Removing my breast implants was a big part of my symptoms. I didn't take any prescription meds, strictly homeopathic meds. I moved to my native home, Guyana, where I can eat truly organic foods, I only use coconut oil or butter, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh meats, and seafood, nothing frozen always buying from the market vendors. I removed breads from my diet, now I eat boiled plantain and eddoe for breakfast. Sometimes, I drink the water I boil them in as well.
Thank you for this video, great information. I have RA that has greatly affected my wrist. If my inflammation decreases is it possible to regain mobility in my wrist?
My RA was affecting my (right) wrist to the point where I was wearing a brace every day for months. I ended up getting a cortisone injection on that wrist, and it really helped. After that, I have been very careful to try to avoid flare-ups by taking my methotrexate every week and supplementing with Vitamin D, CBD oil, magnesium and activated phenolics every day. My wrist is back to normal now for about 2 years.
possibly, every patient is different, talk to your doctor about this question
I know this is from last year but I’d like to see you do something on MCT oil for inflammation.
Elevated liver enzymes were a result of WHICH SUPPLEMENTS please! Thank you.
Thank you once again for this valuable information on supplements. I am alreadt taking some of them together with other supplements.
Please advise on what type of exercises are suitable for someone with problems with the spine. Over the years the spaces between the discs have reduced to nothing and ive lost 3 cm in height 😒
One of the other commentstors talked about static bicycle and swimming.
Can Frankincense oil be used topically on the knee?
Hi ,love your vidoes.im loosing bone density, what can I do. Also i have rhematoid and oesteoarteritis. Im vegetarian.My levels are not high. I am trying to get on to complete good eating plan . Does avocado not have the omega oils? Thank you for your videos. Im ftom South Africa
great video, Supplements I use are D3 at 2000iu, K2 at 200ug, magnesium L-threonate at 2100mg which provides 168mg, turmeric curcumin at 3000mg, multi-vitamin, B complex, Iodine 150ug, choline 150mg, omega-3 fish oil at 2000mg.
some of these are due to me eating mainly a plant based diet with salmon twice a week. others are due to having lupus SLE with UV sensitivity which is yet to be diagnosed, I will review this once I am able to get levels tested and get a diagnosis.
I shouldn't supplement without Dr's approval but I had to try and stop flares while I wait for diagnosis.
Any input from Dr Micah Yu would be greatly appreciated.
i cant give personal advice on social media but those look like a good start!
I learn that supplement k2 cause heart palpitation. Pl get from food.
Can you please post a link for where to get the supplements you use? Please ❤
1)Vitamin D3 on grey days,
2) omega 3 oil ! ,
3) turmeric with black pepper, 4) boswellia ( frankincence oil) 5) msm powder ( Methylsulfonylmethane)
I take herbs and supplements over drugs! Your awesome!
C
Wil it be effective if I use only one supplement like vitamin D. Coz I've been using it already. It's only now that I feel the arthritis in my right knee. Pls is advise.
Can I take them all together or one at the time?
Does anyone know if you can take Tumeric with blood pressure med?
Do you have a specific brand that you prefer for the supplements you’ve talked about.
Thanks
there are a lot of good ones, pure encapsulations, life extension, metagenics, etc
Also try Forever Living Products Forever Freedom juice which has MSM and Forever Active HA if available in your area Forever Arctic C fish oil too I use this for my mother. To some extent some relief. 🤞
What do you think about serrapeptase?
I was diagnosed ten years ago at 40. I had it since age 4, but was misdiagnosed until I literally couldn't move, dress etc. Methotrexate, arava and an infusion once a month. I got TB took two years of misdiagnosis before I was giving life saving meds. I'm in a bad way, the infusion was pulled out, so I'm usually bedbound with high blood pressure..it's very isolating. At the start my doctor lied and said to keep hopeful, if I had known I would have prepared financially. Tumeric was rubbish for me, i've tried Chinese herbs, indian herbs, naturopathy helped slightly but I used up all my savings as it was hundreds of dollars a week. I take vitD, flaxseed oil, and try to eat a cup of green olives.. takes the brain fog away slightly.
Try garlic on empty stomach. Chew it raw
Carnivore diet.
Can you test to see if there is any effect on your liver due to taking Turmeric? What tests can be done?
Can you take tumeric with dmards.i was on humira do you think it's ok to start humira back if I had a serious bacterial infection or prone to fungus
Would like you to talk about Polymyalgia rheumatiga. Do all your recommendations apply to it?
God bless you.
IYou are fab! Providing hope to so many. I wish more Rheumatologists were like you. God bless you. I would add don't you need to take D3 with K2? I also heard the liquid form is better for you. Are you able to share any advice on Ashwaganda? My Naturopath said I should take it and my acupuncturist said that I shouldn't for RA patients.
will make a video on it
Thank you so much...i am suffering with ra..please bless me
What do think of plaquenil? I have RA and have been taking 2 plaquenil a day for ten years. I’ve had no side effects with it and my Rheumatologist wants me to cut down to 1 1/2 pills a day. My eyes are in good condition, not affected by plaquenil and since I’ve cut down to 1 1/2, I’m having a lot of pain and a little flares. I’d like my doctor to put me back on 2 a day again. It’s a new doctor for me thar has cut me down to 1 1/2 pills a day. My original doctor retired. I really liked your video that’s why I’m texting you.
Thanks for any thoughts about these questions.
