Thank you for this video. I love your enthusiasm for the lupus cause! I’ve had lupus for about 10 years - was first diagnosed at 24. I do not have organ damage, but over the years have had a number of bacterial infections that have needed serious medical intervention due to the weakened immune system. Now a days my lupus is mostly under control through intermittent fasting and diet change, but I still deal with a lot of fatigue daily. Even cutting out dairy and gluten, sugars and processed foods, still, almost everything I eat makes me tired. I know I need to get started on some anti inflammatory supplements. This video has been a great help!

Can you do a video on how to heal leaky gut in individuals with lupus? I was diagnosed 6 yrs ago and was on high dosage of prednisone. Also took azathioprine, plaquenil and benlysta. Since I started taking control of my health because I don’t like taking these harmful medications, I have come off all meds except benlysta and plaquenil(which I slowly stopped taking). I changed the way my whole family eats cutting out processed foods and starting cooking from scratch. I even grind wheat berries to make fresh flour. At first I was on a very strict diet eating only vegetables and fruit but I lost so much weight and I already have a small frame. Although I’m still dealing with neuropathy in my feet and an overgrowth of candida in my gut, I feel so much better. Thank you for doing these videos!

Great info! I've been taking Turmeric with black pepper, Vitamin D with K2, NAC (but only 600mg 1x/day, So I think I'm going to increase that) and dietary omega 3s, but I worry about how they can thin the blood so much - might switch to the pro resolving mediators and see how I like it. I also started Maqui Berry extract for dry eye (a symptom of lupus), and I've been taking MegaSpore probiotics and l-glutamine to address leaky gut (in addition to McDougall-type diet).

Hi, I was diagnosed SLE lupus back in 2010, I had joint pain. All my joints were excruciating throbbing pain and locks up my knee joints and wasn’t able to walk for a month. I just woke one morning in so much pain. Fast forward since then thank god I haven’t had a single episodes. I haven’t seen my rheumatologist doctor for about 10 yrs now & stopped taking plaquenil. Just this year my knee started to hurt, when I’m on my feet for 8hrs , I can barely walk in so much pain. I have told my regular doctor but he suggested me to see a therapist. Idk if this knee pain is connected to lupus or it’s just that I’m getting old and chunky. Doctor pls help me..

Im taking Calicum and Vitamin D, these 2 make a huge difference. Im also taking Vitamin C, Vitamin B-12, Omega 3. I also drink lemon ginger tea with a spoon of honey. Im not 100% sure but my intuition tells me to take zertec in the Spring time. That the pollen in the Spring time could cause a immune response causing my immune system to become over active. Im not sure there are any studies done on this.

I have been thinking the same about Zyrtec and allergies and inflammation due to a histamine response! There’s some connection there!

I think a lot of us know about some of the suppliments, but the dosage and whether or not our bodies are converting the suppliments to the end product is something that I learnt here specifically on Omega 3s. I was including the Omega 3 oil suppliment in my diet for some time, but the inflammation was just not going down. Now i think I know my epigenetis may not be converting it. I will definitely include the pro resolving mediator from now on... Thank you for sharing ❤.

I started taking lots of vitamin D , and iron with calcium for anemia everyday. When I forget a day for the iron I get extra lightheaded. Other than that I can’t tell differences in other symptoms but thankfully my labs have gone up in RBC and Vit D. Also, C4 went up (if that could be related) so I’m assuming it’s doing something , thanks for video

I LOVE your videos and caring personality and glad I found your channel. I am back to supplementing with omega 3s again and excited to have found a vegan version due to my shellfish allergies. The other versions exacerbated my heartburn even more. I am having several autoimmune issues and hoping to be back in better health with some lifestyle changes.

Dr. Yu, thanks for the info. Can you explain to me my confusion. When you have autoimmune diseases, you take Prednisone to weaken the immune system. But taking these supplements strengthens the immune system and may interfere with the prednisone. Thanks, in advance.

You should talk about vitamin D3 blood level >50 ng/ml and taking vitamin D3 (USP grade) with 1000 mg of omega-3 for absorption. Vitamin D3 is especially helpful for Lupus because of the photosensitivity keeps people from getting vitamin D3 from the sun.

And where do I get these last 2 mentioned?

@GardenGirlie Ай бұрын

I know there is a lot of misinformation out there but if the Doc or anyone else knows - I have read in many areas of "Autoimmune diets" that the goal is reducing inflammation with foods but not eating or supplementing to "boost" the immune system; as the Autoimmunes are already over functioning? Is there any "unsafe" fruits, veggies or immune boosting supplements?

I have nephrotic syndrome. I take Coq10 (antioxidant instead of NAC), turmeric (500 mg), garlic, cordyceps (last three suppress IL2, so anti -inflammatory), and prednisone. Supplements don't seem to help.
