Autoimmune Diseases: Foods That Help | Dr. Neal Barnard | Exam Room LIVE

[@RoxinaSolerGamborena]

This Chanel save me from Reumatoid Artritis! From meat eater, to, 3+ yeara ago towards Vegan. 100% Whole Food Pant-based today. Rheuma is gone, as ashma and allergy...and; tons of energy every day despite being now 51 years old...gracias!

[@rohiniuthra]

Could you please post what your diet look like now?

[@RoxinaSolerGamborena]

@@rohiniuthra : Just Whole food Plant Based, low in oil, no added sugars, just some days a bit of maple or agave sirop. I eat as I learned in this chanell :)...So, legumes (beans, chick peas, lentils...), grains (whole bread, brown ice, whole pasta, quinoa...), Veggies & Fruits- a huge smoothie every single day; a liter minimum, my most frequent is 1 orange 1 appel, 3 hand fulls of spinach or Kale, 1 hand full of frozen mango or pinaple, ginger, curcuma powder w black pepper, pumpkin or hemp seeds and water...It may seems a lot but once on the flow you make it in 3 minutes. Another one is using strawberries + blue beerries instead of the mango. And, nuts and seeds sprinkled on my food every day. Tofu, soy sauce, miso paste, and spices are always on my drower...I have learned to cook again in this way and every one love my food; also the non vegans. Bsides smoothies, soups are another easy way to eat several key foods in an easy and tasty way. I pay lots of attention my breakfast; they are so delicious now- despite I have to wake up 3 days a week at 5.40 Am to go to work :) Find a few youtubers, specially the ones that happen to be certified nutricionists to get tasty healthy relativley simple recipies...And, prepare your week ahead- shoping and cooking...It is so worthdy; dive into this world and you wont believe that you can feel so good...all the best!

I lost Rosacea from my WFPB diet, plus a host of other ailments creeping up on me. It has been almost 6 years now since I started eating this way, and I have never felt better. I'm also 60 lbs. lighter. Lots of energy, and I am 67 years old. Thank you Chuck and Dr. Bernard for another great informative episode. Love the work you both do! Heroes, both, in my book!

[@tammysmith8727]

What is a WFPB diet

[@Goodbyeeveryonehere]

Whole Food Plant Based - only vegetables fruits and complex carbohydrates. No processed foods or animal products at all

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

I love this so much! I am 18 years into my journey with MS and still doing well! I do 5 things in addition to my medication to help. I eat a whole food plant based diet, exercise regularly, try to get good sleep, practice mindfulness, and take supplements under the guidance of my neurologist and naturopathic doctor. The plant based diet has helped me so much with managing my symptoms and possibly preventing progression.

[@Sonja-bt3km]

I have osteoarthritis and as long as I avoid meat, dairy, eggs and sunflower oil I'm 100% pain free every day 😁 I had severe joint pain for 2 1/2 years before figuring this out

[@Elizerinc]

Only sunflower oil and not any other oils?

[@GreenTea4Me]

I am in my 4th week of a total WFPB diet that is Gluten free. I found out I have Celiac Disease. I didn't even know there was a blood test for it along with an endoscopy. I had so many symptoms and only one doctor, after 7 years, thought to test me for it. I feel so much better. It is so wonderful to be WFPB!

[@lokiuk]

Dr Neal Barnad, I watch lots of diet and exercise videos on youtube. Fitness is my passion. I truly believe what you say and follow your diet. Plant based- I believe is the safest and most effective diet amongst all the other diet. But unfortunately my one problem hasn't been solved yet. Psoriasis- its on my shin area and little bit behind my neck. Still I will never stop the food and diet you suggest. It tooks me a long time to stop eating chicken, meat, dairy etc. I am the only one in my family who follow your diet. I am happy with my changes even though everyone laugh at my meals and I don't get much support from my family and friends for these changes. i will continue eat my whole meal plant based diet.👏

[@TaijaSkyDragon]

Sometimes there is a fungus connection somewhere in the body

[@TheAbclisa]

Dr. McDougall said Nathan Pritikin thought it was a lack of blood flow to the skin. Kempner had great results with psoriasis on the rice diet. Maybe super low fat diet improves blood flow, and the simple diet is like an elimination of potential triggers?

[@georgiefong2250]

Your condition is autoimmune, you can try HEALING YOUR GUT MICROBIOME, "leaky gut" to prevent foreign proteins to enter blood stream and immune cells attack. Meanwhile I founded with my own condition, CBD HAS helped with healing. but "cure" is healing your GUT.

[@ds654]

My asthma improved dramatically! I only use an inhaler when I get a cold. Years of struggling to breathe, gone! Dairy was the culprit!

[@carolzhou8478]

Lived with lupus while WFPB. Dropped grains from my diet and lupus antibodies zeroed out, never came back, and symptoms gone. It was the grains!

[@cookholistic3425]

That’s amazing! What do you typically eat?? I have hashimotos and love hearing stories like this.

[@carolzhou8478]

@ Now I eat meat, vegetables, and dairy. I focus on low-carb, low-oxalate veg and avoid legumes, also due to autoimmune issues. I mostly consume raw-milk grass-fed cheese, when available. I avoid seed oils like the plague.

[@ValentinaPicchiLondon]

Dear Dr. Barnerd and Chuck, thank you for these videos. My mum has polymyalgia rheumatica, and she has been taking cortisone for about 9 months, which I am sure is very bad! Can this apply for her desease/disorder? Can you do a podcast for this specific one? Thank you.

[@kavitasalam1313]

Thank you Dr Barnard for the valuable information. I was diagnosed with RA some years ago. I am taking ayurvedic medicine + gradually my diet becoming plant based. I was becoming much better but some weeks back i had increasing lots of pain that i could not sleep and it was affecting my work. But with prayers and using hot and cold water therapy my pain is gone. Barbara O Neill 's advise on water therapy really helps. And now i know that i have to continue taking the hydro therapy till the auto immune is reversed along with medication, plant based diet ,avoiding certain plant food that triggers,exercise,good sleep, sunshine and reducing stress with trust in divine providence .the reason why im writing this is because only those who suffer from RA will know how unbearable the pain is . Even taking a hot shower for 3 minutes and switching to cold shower for 30 seconds,repeating 3 times takes away the pain. Walter veith 's health lectures are also good.

[@egris00]

Thank you both for another educational, eye opening episode on how to take better care of our own health!

Love the explanation and the helpful tips.

[@WeCelebrateEatingPlants]

Thank you 🥦❤ Wondering if that study which said omega 3s didn't appear to help much for autoimmune was fish oil because omega 3s appear to have been making a tremendous difference with Dr. Brooke Goldner's protocol, prioritizing mostly cruciferous veggies and ground flax/chia for omega 3s. She describes the 6 and 3 pathways which explains why some people aren't converting to EPA and DHA - too many 6s!

[@k.h.6991]

It could be the fiber in chia and flax.

[@WeCelebrateEatingPlants]

@@k.h.6991 hi :) healing people or helping the conversion? fiber's important, and the lightest protocol calls for a pound of green leafy or cruciferous veg for starters so one would think there would be plenty to be getting on with but what she says which makes sense to me is people have overloaded with omega 6 causing the inflammation bonfire which is why adding the omega 3s above and beyond what we would normally need helps knock things back in order quickly. Of course we're not doing animal products or oils either so just the drop in 6 can help

[@sectionalsofa]

While the 6-3 ratio may in part be why Dr Goldner gets good results, but more than anything, it's an elimination diet. All the processed floury, sugary, salty, oily foods in the SAD diet (not to mention particular high histamine foods) that are removed. For this same reason, there are those on the carnivore diet who find relief from their autoimmune diseases. Followers of this diet really believe that all plants were the cause of their problems but most likely it was junky processed "plants" or perhaps particular FODMAP or high histamine foods and that were culprits. Talk about throwing out the baby with the bath water.

[@hasyus8793]

Vegetables leafy vegetables has fibre isn't

[@aubreyvandyne5284]

In a large coffee mug...1 to 2 T. of baking cocoa powder which is about 10 calories, 2 to 3 teaspoons of cane sugar at 16 calories per t. Then add hot water, maybe cinnamon if you like. You can add a little plant milk but I find it takes away from the cocoas richness. It also subtracts from the sweetness. Basically it's just a hot water drink much like ☕ coffee but less caffeine. I had to find a low cal substitute so that's what I rebounded to.

[@nellythevegan854]

Hello Chuck Dr Neil Barnard this video couldn't have came at a better time. I'm currently in bed unwell with what the doctors believe could be Dysautonomia MCAS and or POTS. This is now being referred to a cardiologist and Dysautonomia specialist. I've got hypothyroidism and Reactive Hypoglycemia as well. I was advised to look at a low histamine diet. I'm vegan and have found gluten and quinoa are triggering flares. I'm at least 18lbs underweight I don't have coeliac disease but I'm sensitive. Thanks for the tips for the elimination diet and how long I should remove foods. I 😮don't consume peanuts regularly and removing them from the diet didn't seem to improve my symptoms. However as stress makes a difference it's difficult to manage as my environment is unavoidably stressful due to being a support for a family member. But I will try removing the foods suggested..✌🏽☘️🌱

[@nellythevegan854]

You've helped stabilise my blood glucose levels by following your channel and advice while undergoing tests for the previous issues mentioned. Best wishes from London UK by the way I eat wholefoods no refined ingredients and food sticking to gluten free wholegrain like sorghum I have store bought soya products fortified with vitamins d and B12 other than a mild zinc deficiency which is now supplemented many thanks in advance ❤

Sarah Erika has Dysautonomia. She reversed it via fruit juicing. You can see her video & testimony.

[@bluwtrgypsy]

Leaky gut is a huge culprit.

[@LuckyStarhun]

It is. And if someone has Crohns or ulcerative colitis, then it basically stops them from eating normal. I know because I have UC. I fail to switch on a 100 percent whole food diet because the fibres cause diarrhea. But a low fat diet is important to keep things under control and I blame ultraprocessed foods and fast foods (vegan "fake" meats etc too) for the worsening of symptoms. Vegan is not enough, people need to eat WHOLE FOODS and forget all that junk called " food". No one was cured from anything from swithing to vegan burgers from traditional burgers or substituting dairy cheese with vegan cheese... true vegan is wfpb

How can you tell if a food is a problem when you reintroduce it? For instance, I tested positive for antibodies to gluten, but I'm asymptomatic. How do you test all the foods that might be causing autoimmune responses if your are asymptomatic? I've been trying to find out if there are blood tests for other ingredients besides gluten or if there other tests that would be reliable in figuring out if a food is an issue. However, no one's been able to point me to reliable testing for this.

Autoimmune disease can start with “leaky” gut and the gut needs to be healed before the autoimmune can go away.

[@elizabethdean0187]

You would do well to check into the Barnard Clinic (I have no conflict of interest). I have seen many individuals such as yourself in our clinic over the years which has a philosophy comparable to the Barnard Clinic. I appreciate you are concerned about weight loss but I am concerned you are malnourished by surviving on two protein bars and a meal replacement shake a day. This is not equivalent to healthy nutrition for you with ‘real’ food. Please seek out assistance near you from those who ascribe to balanced plant-based nutrition. You are a young person at 60, and need to look forward to years of health not disease management. I wish you well. Professor-Elizabeth

[@Rend2be]

Eat WHOLE FOODS NOT BARS

[@Goodbyeeveryonehere]

You're likely causing cancer by eating the bars and processed crap. 1 pound every 3 days is the best amount of weight to lose. Not slow at all. Some people take 2 years to lose 50 pounds.

I have a autoimmune disease called PBC. It’s a non-alcohol disease with an genetic marker. My daughter also has this disease. I’ve been told there is no cure and it hasn’t been on the raider for long. I was raised a vegetarian and changed my eating a vegan diet 4 years ago. I follow many of our plant based doctors including Dr. Barnard. If you have any advise pertaining to the disease, I would appreciate the info. Thank you

Watch Dr brooke goldner on her wellness wednesday videos she's been doing them every Wednesday since late 2022.

She is now 47 and fixed her lupus with her raw vegan diet.

So the vitamin D receptors are everywhere. Seems to me that they are the switches and vitamin D comes along and turns them on/off. Low vitamin D and a device is either left on or not turned off efficiently. However it only works once, so you need sun every day.
