Why Do Plant-Based Diets Help Rheumatoid Arthritis?

- Rheumatoid arthritis may be triggered by autoimmune friendly fire against a urinary tract infection bacteria called Proteus mirabilis, which could help explain why sufferers randomized to a plant-based diet experience such remarkable benefit.

I have to admit I had never even heard of Proteus mirabilis. That’s why I love doing work-I learn as much as you do!
I explored another unconventional theory as to why plant-based diets are so successful in treating inflammatory arthritis in Potassium and Autoimmune Disease (nutritionfacts.org/video/potas....
There’s another foodborne bacteria implicated in human disease, the EXPEC in chicken leading to urinary tract infections-another game-changer: Avoiding Chicken To Avoid Bladder Infections (nutritionfacts.org/video/avoid....
This reminds me of the Neu5Gc story (The Inflammatory Meat Molecule Neu5Gc nutritionfacts.org/video/the-i..., that mystery pig brain disease (Eating Outside Our Kingdom nutritionfacts.org/video/eatin...) and the crazy tick bite meat allergies thing (Alpha Gal and the Lone Star Tick nutritionfacts.org/video/alpha....
Lots more videos coming up on the role our gut flora play in health and disease-stay tuned!

After I was diagnosed with severe crippling RA 14 years ago, I became a gluten-free vegan. And I do not have any severe deformity of my joints, no pain, no stiffness or achiness...I feel great. I wake up alert and ready to go through the day, I work hard, I exercise 3 times a week, I do yoga 4 times a week and I walk every day up to 3 miles. I am very active and enjoying my days, one day at a time. Every 3 months I go into the raw diet for a month (no cooked food) to cleanse and detoxify my body of all impurities from food...I then feel renewed again and even better than I did before I went raw. If anyone is diagnosed with RA, please try to go vegan for 2 to 3 weeks only and you will see the change it does to your body, believe me, you will never go back to eating what you ate before. Always remember...live food, live body!
What about b12 how did u get it? By supplementation?
@@Whitegrey1 yes most people even meat are actually low on b12
@@Whitegrey1 you can survive for a few years on stored b12
Just take a B12 supplement. I did a 4 day fast and eat whole food vegan meals 4 to 5 times per week and am starting to see an improvement in my RA symptoms. Could be placebo but will know in a few months. There is a steep learning curve for vegetarian/vegan meal prep however one does it. The food tastes amazing, just don’t get sucked into eating vegan processed food all the time.
@@RobBrandtWoodturning how are you doing now? That’s awesome!
I went vegan after months of research into how I could relieve my RA symptoms and it has had a profound effect on my pain levels. I talk a lot about it on my channel.
Thank you for making this video!!
I went vegan because I was getting severe pain in my left hip ( I already had arthritis in my lower back). I was taking the max dose of Ibuprofen with the max dose of Paracetamol 4 times a day. Within 1 week of going vegan the pain in my hip had gone and I was off the medication. After 5 months of going vegan I feel great but still have some lesser pain in my lower back (it has been a long term condition). Anyone starting to get arthritis should seriously consider a vegan diet.
I have been barely able to walk for the past year, suffering from severe pain that runs from by hip to my knee. I decided to buy the Total Gym and within a week of using it, the pain is hardly noticeable( I was diagnosed with RA over ten years ago). I have been flirting with a vegan diet for several years now, but after watching this video, I am hoping to shift to an, exclusively, vegan diet.
@@mariepeters9554can we get an update? I have RA & considering going vegan 🌱
@@markbeer7422i have psoriatic arthritis and been bedridden for 3 months. after eating wfpb i was able to walk again but limping, my pain level reduced for like 50% and my psoriasis is completely dry now. but when i ate bad foods again for the last 2 months, i'm now bedridden again
Absolutely brilliant work as always - thanks once again Dr Gregor. I will share with my RA audience
A complete step-by-step plan to reversing arthritis in just 3 weeks. As you’ve just read, it won’t just knock out arthritis…it might even save your life! www.healthighway.com/714f

Rheumatoid arthritis may be caused by a UTI bug that could be affected by dietary changes.

NutritionFacts.org My mom has had terrible rheumatoid arthritis since she was young. She has had a hip and knee replacement and also both feet done. She is on s chemo drug as well. She has never had a UTI before. Could this still be the cause of hers if she has never once suffered from a UTI?
Omg this makes sense! I used to get chronic UTI and then accidentally discovered my vegan diet relieved my joint pain but had no idea they were connected. Amazing!
nellievance My joint pain disappeared too but I still have problems with my UTI. I just don't know what it is. I'm eating a vegan diet and drinking 2.5 to 3 liters a day I just want it to go away
Lari ssa ?
I finally found a preventative that works. D-Mannose can be found in most health food stores, some labeled as ClearTract, etc. My disabled mom had been hospitalized for UTI because it was beginning to become a kidney infection. Her lack of dexterity and being wheelchair bound, makes her highly susceptible to UTIs. I've had her take one D-Mannose capsule every morning for the last eight years. Zero UTIs!!! @@Larissa-vz2nd
OMG! I have RA and I used to get a whole lot of urinary tract infections. I am plant based now and am not getting the infections anymore.
REQUEST: CHINESE subtitles. It could really help out some people i know who have no knowledge of English whatsoever. Some of Dr. Greger's vids have chinese subs which is really great. I hope more will come in the future. My gratitude goes out to the people who invest their time to do this.
Amazing!! Makes sense from what I saw so far from people who are suffering, they all had long standing problems with urinary tract infection.
Thanks Doc, I always though that RA and nutrition goes hand in hand
Thank you for sharing this information; I just wish I knew it sooner.
I am always fascinated by everything this doctor explains! I eat a WFPB diet now but does this type of eating also help with osteoarthritis?
Incredibly insightful!
This is just awesome. I'm glad i found this. Thank you so much.
This was very timely. I am trying to encourage my friend to give WFPB a try. She is suffering from very painful RA! :-) THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORLD YOU DO!!!!!
great vid!
Thanks 🙏! Looking forward to improve my RA
very interesting fascinating how the scientist where able to decipher the thing about the molecule and the mimickry
Great video. Thank you so much Dr. Greger.
It would not be surprising if this general mechanism where behind many other afflictions.
Most diseases are a result of poor gut/liver health.
👏good info! Thanks!
Por favor colocar textos en español! Muchas gracias!
Thank you,God bless
My husband's cousin was diagnose with RH and he eats meat and high fat and does not eat starch and has been in remission ever since. My daughter was diagnosed with RH and she got rid of certain plant foods and eats both meat and certain plant foods and her RH symptoms went into remission.
Its easy for people to lie on the internet. I get your suspicion. You're entitled to it.
I had an ALCAT test done. 900 dollars later. Sucks. Anyway, its still up in the air as to the accuracy of the ALCAT test. But, when she eliminated the specific foods that her results revealed, her symptoms that didn't go away for three years subsided. We still get her blood tests every year to check her RH and is still diagnosed with RH, but she is symptom free without NSAID drugs at this time. What foods? Everyone is different. My understanding is that there is no one size fits all. No miracle cure.
truvelocity anecdotes
That’s awesome, I’m eating autoimmune Paleo, and I believe it’s helping as well. My friend has her RA in remission and she basically eats keto with no starches too. How are you doing now? Do you have zero pain and are in total remission?
I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers.
Would this work for Psoriasis?
I have had strep but not UTI. Any thoughts on my RA. I've also thought, I had two types of pneumonia when I was a baby. Curious to learn more to manage this better.
I had pneumonia as a very young baby as well. . . now I have psoriatic arthritis PsA. No doubt we were each given hardcore antibiotics for our illnesses, and our crtical gut flora was destroyed at least in part in the process.
Who knows if a truly WISE and knowledgeable MD would provide the same 'cure' in this day and age. It is now our project to replenish somehow miraculously the various critters which occupy a healthy microbiome.
I say : food as medicine, sleep, stress addressing, social happiness, regular body movement (every couple of hours, just a five minute walk or so min.), and maybe an FMT??
For me the hard part is eating very clean without losing all kins of weight I do not want to say goodbye to. Also progressing disease : (
Fascinating
Good Day Dr. How about patient with Gout or those with high Uric Acid.. ?
Since Legumes ,Some Veg. (cauliflower) and Beans have a moderate amount of Purine
Should we still recommend it to our patient?
However beef and pork are not included in the category w/high purine nor moderate
That's why they opt to choose to eat lean red meat
Hope for your response :) I'm a big fan of yours 🤗😉
I have OA and RA and developed gout in my big toe joints. Started taking Apple Cider Vinegar and the gout disappeared never to return in just a few days. I take 6 TBLS over the course of the day in green tea. Hope this helps.
Wow! Mind blown. I was diagnosed after I had my third c-section. After this horrible surgery I contracted a vicious uti and I felt it never went away after treatments. I wonder if that is why sometimes antibiotics treatments help some RA patients.
+MyMonkeyMinions Not surprised, the condition is triggered by physical trauma.
In addition to dietary changes, is there a way to fight Proteus directly? Something like oil of oregano or other natural antimicrobials?
C Golden or even Castor oil !!!
That’s what I was wondering. Is there no way to kill the bacteria once it works its way into the joints??
I'm 21 and I've been on a WFPB diet for 9 months after 2 years on a normal vegan diet. Somehow I have developed arthritis symptoms in the past 3 months. I don't eat gluten by the way. I'm really confused and upset.
Thanks!
Try meditation at any one of the vipassana centers
Get a food allergy test done, it can identify foods that trigger flare ups in the joints
Did you have any luck beating your arthritis symptoms? I have been on a WFPB diet for 1 year and in the last 2 months I have developed arthritis in my fingers. I am confused why this has happened to me because a vegan diet is recommended to treat arthritis.
With your arthritis symptoms, it's a good idea to get evaluated. This video was on rheumatoid arthritis, but there are many different conditions that cause joint pain. Osteoarthritis, lupus, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and fibromyalgia all can cause joint pain. Hell, even autoimmune diseases of other body systems can sometimes cause joint pain (like Crohn's disease, which is in the digestive tract).
THANKSGIVING
I have RA and successfully followed the wonderful Paddison programme alongside meds. I went out of pain completely. I then thought I might try to add fish back to my diet and guess what? I now have a UTI and feel quite unwell and my joints are niggling. Back to basics for me. Back to my vegan gf diet
How are you doing now? That’s an awesome testimony! I don’t wanna go to go plant-based. But the testimonies are pretty amazing. Are you 100% pain-free and in remission? I don’t really understand if coconut oil is plant-based why can’t we do it? Is sourdough considered OK if it’s plant-based?
Shall try this for a couple of months, and then switch over permanently.
💚💚💚
Until now!
its fascinating to me how most people will not heed this science
I have had RA for 4 years now and am finally off all meds for 7 weeks now. Except nsaids just to bridge the gap. Just started vegan diet and wanted to know if drinking WINE is ok? Not a lot but like a glass a day. I'm 33 yrs old male and weigh about 170
I went vegan while still drinking wine, beer and spirits and my arthritis decreased dramatically.
how are u now hun @ransiel? obviously, wine is not good
@@pauldeadman5246how are u now hun
What about psoriatic arthritis? I'm sure diet affects it too.
Oh yes indeed, its instrumental. All in the gut for all autoimmune diseases.
Hi Dr. Greger,
I'm looking for what conventional doctors are calling a “miracle” for my 70y/o mother who suffers from advanced rheumatoid arthritis, migraines, peripheral neuropathy(non-diabetic, doctors don’t know what caused it, but she now needs a walker), possible gluten allergy, all kinds of food allergies (dating back to when she was a little girl), TIAs…and the list goes on.
For decades, she's been nothing more than a guinea pig to conventional doctors, who just treat the symptoms and NEVER attempt to address the cause (in my opinion leaky gut IS the root cause of all her ailments). Anyhow, she's now on prednisone, yet again as the latest RA med seems to no longer be masking the symptoms.
Unfortunately, she has Medicare/Medicaid, which has prevented her from seeing an ND in Rhode Island. I’ve managed to get her off dairy and red meat and am trying to move her to a full plant-based diet. However, she also as diverticulitis and bean allergies (along with a long list of other foods, possibly even nightshades), which makes it extremely difficult.
She's been in and out of the hospital and no longer has a primary as he has left the practice (not that I think he’d help anyway. Her Rheumatologist already told her he doesn’t know what else to do for her). I am aware of the Washington D.C. Med Center that PCRM is opening in November, but I fear that her health is beginning to spiral down rapidly because of the RA and continuous prednisone prescriptions (she is now suffering from daily, consistent, fever & chills from RA. Her joints are extremely swollen now. She’s having daily migraines, and is now on an antibiotic for her first ever UTI.). I truly do feel that her health could drastically improve, if not reverse, with a plant-based dietary regime and cleanse/detox to start.
I, however, am no expert and know that she needs to do that with the guidance of a certified medical professional, who needs to have a good understanding of ALL her allergies.
With that said, I am looking for some guidance as she needs help ASAP! Anything you can recommend... Doctors or PCRM.org type MDs in the New England area? What Blood test/panels should I request the doctor perform? Treatments? ANY other suggestions or resources would be truly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

+Katherine Pflieger I hope your mom is doing better, did you ever get a response from anyone?
Updates?
I had the exact same response going to a low carb Keto diet with lots of meat and saturated fats. I feel great on this diet.
Lmfao. Won't for long 🤣🤣🤣
That’s what I was trying to decide between. An autoimmune Paleo type diet and vegan. Both have great testimonials. Are you still feeling great?
@Living4Jesus4Ever all animal derived foods cause inflammation. And all oils do as well. Go with the vegan diet. Meat is not the same as it once was. Even plant foods. But plant foods don't have hormones and nitrates injected in them. In biblical times, meat was killed fresh and eaten on the farm. Now they are highly processed and sent to factories. With time everything has changed. Pollution, environment and how we live. The Bible says in the old testament that we can eat anything except Rabbits, Eagles, Crows, other flying birds. And I even read yesterday that we can eat certain insects like Crickets and Grasshoppers. Also all fish that have scales and fins. Anyway all this is in the Old testament. So it's not strict as long as it's not humans that we eat. My point is meat and fish is not healthy anymore. The oceans have been polluted so badly that it's not healthy to consume fish. Perhaps that is why places like Sardinia and Ikaria still have people living to 100 plus. Because they still farm most of their food. And eat mostly plant based. In the Western world we just go to the grocery store where food has been on a truck for days and sometimes in the store for many weeks before we even eat it. Which is why we waste so much food in America. And other developed countries. Check out The Blue Zones on RUclips. It's fascinating it talks about the countries that have the most of centenarians because they eat mostly plant based non processed foods. And grow it themselves. For example Okinawans eat mostly sweet potatoes, bitter melon (vegetable), tofu and other vegetables. Anyway I'm talking too much lol. WFPB is the best diet for the times we are living in. Don't let the Keto community fool you. It is very rare to hear about a vegan that eats WFPB to die from a heart attack. If they did it wasn't caused by their diet. Maybe drinking or smoking. Keto was made famous first by Dr. Atkins with the Atkins diet. Scientifically it makes you lose weight but the long term effects are dangerous and even fatal. Good luck!! Hope this helps. GOD bless you.
This is so funny. There are exactly as many people who claim that a keto or meat only diet reduces pain and stiffness. I notice that you didn't report on CRP or any actual testable inflammatory markers just self reported experience of perception of pain. This is all bunk.
Fluoroquinolones side effect
What about thyroid imbalance or diseases? or that women have a reproductive system different from men. Menstruation and even hormone problems. I know this is research but i don't believe UTI is just the single issue to causing or help producing RA. Maybe everyone is unique in their chronic illness and diseases to how they started the symptoms?
+Fliskography I don't know where you got the idea that women have a reproductive system different from men, it's complete hogwash.

Does anybody know if fish can make it worse? I been eating fruits and juicing I get better sometimes but someday I still have a good amount of inflammation. I eat fish 3 times a week and it’s cooked in virgin oil.
Junior Romo stop the cooking with Virgin Olive oil. It’s a free radical in a bottle and inflammation. Try coconut oil
@@APBCTechnique Coconut oil has as much saturated fat as butter.
I have just reintroduced fish into my vegan diet and have gone back downhill. I’m going back to vegan
Don’t forget that fruits= sugar. Only low sugar low carb berries. Too much sugars sets my inflamation off
DR Gregor where can I get studies and data that Chemo and radiation do NOT HELP ANYONE but do more harm than good?
Already vegan and being diagnosed with RA..
I have seen marked improvement with a plant based diet with NO added OIL ( including nuts and avos ) and gluten free. Not a doctor I just saw two men do this with success.
Elizabeth vegan isn’t a diet it’s a lifestyle/philosophy a whole food low fat plant based diet is the best absolutely no oil,processed food,refined sugar,and eat more fruit and vegetables... and some grains,legumes,nuts, and seeds
Elizabeth did you try cutting out oil? You can try water frying or cooking with vegetable stock. The food still taste delicious.
Algae oil
Eat red meat it will go away . I was vegan 15 yrs with severe osteo arthrtis as soon as I faced reality and tried red meat almost immediately it go better .
Please be aware that even though Dr. Greger unfortunately uses the terms “vegan” and “vegetarian” interchangeably, he DOES NOT recommend a vegetarian diet at all. What he recommends instead is a vegan diet. In other words, NO foods of animal origin: no cheese, no cow’s milk, no eggs, no cream, no butter, etc. There is a world of difference between healthy, plant-based vegan diets and vegetarian diets, which are full of unhealthy, saturated, animal fat.
lol. saturated animal fats aren't unhealthy, educate yourself.
plants are cool.
dead animals are also cool.
no problem right here.
go to a speech therapist you have vocal fry dude
