If you want to see me in my clinic please go to www.drlifestyle.org or subscribe to my newsletter at www.myautoimmunemd.com to keep up to date with integrative medicine and autoimmune disease. What questions do you have for me?
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 !!!
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
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!
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 🙏🏽
@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.
East Indians nightly make something called golden milk. Ingredients are whole milk, one teaspoon turmeric and a pinch of black pepper simmered over low heat. The fat in the milk and black pepper helps better absorb the chemicals in turmeric. This really reduces my inflammation due to a poor diet and helps me have less stress and sleep better.
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.
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. ☀️
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.
Love your info! Thank you! What kind of doctor are you? And would you be covered by Blue Cross PPO? I’m trying to find a doctor like you, combining a biological if needed but also using diet and supplements. I live in Austin and I can’t find anyone 😣😣😣
thank you oh so much. i had cortisone and Hyaluronic acid needle. my knee flares are worse than ever.,,I like your approach and going to definitely give your recommendations a try. 👌👌👌👌👌👌
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.
My rheumatologist is having me on 50,000 unit and the last time my lab test was 120 so I stopped taking it once a week but once every 13 days , she isn’t testing me and frankly I have no trust in her . I’m allergic to vitamin D3 so she has put me on D2 and I found out myself that to take magnesium with that. Do you suggest what I’m doing ? Frankly I found out about RH all by myself researching everything for few months and now I’m more knowledgeable than my pompous doctor :) Wishing I had found you earlier all in one cause I spend a lot of time researching every little thing . Im so glad you are out there to help people 🙏🏻❤️
I would like you to talk about dosages will definitely help a lot I'm from South Africa i really enjoy your programs it is very informative keep up the good work i have tried just about everything to get my appetite back i havn't had anything to eat in weeks like absolutely nothing and i have rheumatoid arthritis which has now flared up tremendously tx Doc hope you can help
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.
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.
So change the doctor! He knows nothing. Unforunatelly, most of doctors don't bekieve in diets, herbs, natural remedies... they were taught only what medicines presribe to relieve the pain...not to treat and as we know lots of medicines have severe side effects... we should know what is good and bad for us. Most of tge medicnec help for one thing but destroys others and new diseases appear.
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.
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?
Turmeric never help me with my inflammation in my arthritis, i buy mine from a health food store and is a very good one , so i was going to ask you that if i can take vitamin D plus Boswellia or MSN and Vitamin D , i don't want to have side effects , i already going to a lot of pain in my knee, thanks for sharing this video, have a Blessed day🙏❤
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!
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 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.
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!!
Dr Yu, thank you for your video. It is very informative. do you see patients with Sjogren’s disease? What kind of food/ diet and vitamins that may help improve the dryness in mouth and eyes, in particular. And how to differentiate a hip pain is due to RA or any form of arthritis or it is due to normal aging process, the wear & tear .I am 67. Appreciate your comment.
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!!
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!
Thanks for the info!!! Just diagnosed with seronegative RA Rheumatologist wants me to take methotrexate. I've had cancer and don't want to take it. Went to a functional dr waiting on blood work praying supplements will be the answer!
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 😒
As an Ayurvedic Consultant, I can vouch for Planet Ayurveda's Boswellia Curcumin Capsules, Yograj Guggul, Coral Calcuim Support and Bone Support. It regulates Vata imbalance and possesses anti-inflammatory properties.
Vitamin D + MK7, Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) for anti aging, it works, plenty of studies confirm this. Most important of all above supplements is to do your best to get full range of motion in every joint, Yoga is probably the best as an all round option to do this.
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. 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.
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
Thank you dr I have sjogens desease and I take plaquinell my dry mouth and dry eyes are better but my kidney function is not good Fr is 60 do you have some advice for me .
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. 🤞
Can you talk about tooth extraction, and effects on healing. Re prednisolone and other arthritis medications can effect the tooth socket healing. Thankyou
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.

How old are you now and how far has it progressed?
This is good and joyful channel. Most channels make us worry more.
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 😀
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!

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.
Smashed the subscribe button and liked! Your channel is so underrated and I can't wait to see it grow so it can help everyone with health issues!
thank you so much!
East Indians nightly make something called golden milk. Ingredients are whole milk, one teaspoon turmeric and a pinch of black pepper simmered over low heat. The fat in the milk and black pepper helps better absorb the chemicals in turmeric. This really reduces my inflammation due to a poor diet and helps me have less stress and sleep better.
You are of the kindest and caring doctors.
Thank you so much for your comment!
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.

Try garlic on empty stomach. Chew it raw
Carnivore diet.
Thank you so much doc❤
Most welcome!
Very informative, my rheumatologist says foods have nothing to do with RA😢 Can you speak about the jaw cracking and is it RA related?
So change the doctor! He knows nothing.

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.

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!!
Dr Yu, thank you for your video. It is very informative. do you see patients with Sjogren’s disease? What kind of food/ diet and vitamins that may help improve the dryness in mouth and eyes, in particular. And how to differentiate a hip pain is due to RA or any form of arthritis or it is due to normal aging process, the wear & tear .I am 67. Appreciate your comment.
Vitamin D3, K2,with coconut MCT and magnesium essential to for absorption !!!
Thank you 🙏🏼

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.
As an Ayurvedic Consultant, I can vouch for Planet Ayurveda's Boswellia Curcumin Capsules, Yograj Guggul, Coral Calcuim Support and Bone Support. It regulates Vata imbalance and possesses anti-inflammatory properties.
Vitamin D + MK7, Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) for anti aging, it works, plenty of studies confirm this. Most important of all above supplements is to do your best to get full range of motion in every joint, Yoga is probably the best as an all round option to do this.
Thanks for sharing!
Can you take all of them or which one to start with

Hi Dr, I am from India and I am also RA patient you can try yoga basically pranayam it does miracle to bodies
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
Would like you to talk about Polymyalgia rheumatiga. Do all your recommendations apply to it?
I enjoyed the video,,Thank You 👍
Thank you too!
