What an inspiring testimony. When I hear people dismiss this lifestyle, saying that it's "too restrictive" and that they'd rather "enjoy life" and eat whatever they want, my usual response to that is 'obesity' is restrictive. 'Type-2 diabetes' is restrictive. 'Heart disease' is restrictive. How can you "enjoy" life with those ailments? This woman is clearly enjoying life. Congratulations to her and whoever else she inspires. Keep up the great work, Dr. McDougall.
On methotrexate for 23 years, I fully empathize with Paula's testimony. A bite from a poisonous brown recluse spider and physicians "treatments" led to 17 years of open flesh wounds about my ankles, 49 surgeries to repair them and fingers deformed by rheumatoid arthritis and a host of co-morbidities. Only after embracing the McDougal vegan food practice (and not even at 100%), my wounds finally closed in 2013 as 120 lbs. released from my frame; now OFF ALL MEDICATION. Were all ailing people made aware of and practiced the McDougal way the pharmaceutical industrial complex would be a whole lot less profitable. Like Paula said, "Thank you, John and Mary McDougal." :-D !!!
Do you think the Mcdougall diet can help ankylosing spondylitis? A lot of people say starch is what causes AS and that the diet makes AS worse. I've never seen a testimony of someone with AS do this diet only ppl with RA. I'm hesitant but if you could help me out it could help me stop hesitating and just do the diet. Thanks.
J Ventura Both Doug Kaufman from KNOW THE CAUSE www.knowthecause.com/knowthis/may-1st-2014/ and HALLELUJAH ACRES [www.hacres.com] have ankylosing spondylitis testimonies of healing with major changes in diet. Check Kaufman's magazine link and plow through every page of Hallelujah. Your solution is closer than you think. L'chaim :-D !!!
Milk does the SAME thing to me! Years ago my joints were beginning to hurt and ache in my fingers, and I'd always had joint issues in my knees esp too. When I went vegetarian it did not change. Two people in my family and two others that I knew had arthritis and had surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome and told me I was going to be just like them. But when I went vegan, the pain was gone within a week. I KNEW it was milk! A few weeks ago I did an experiment where I partook of a little cheese daily to see what would happen. Again, that SAME pain came back in my finger joints! Stopped with the cheese pretty quick (because the pain is unbearable) and now its gone again. Glad for her that she found the answer. Most mainstream doctors work for the pharma companies, not us.
Ohh my gosh, she made me tear up. I can totally relate, not having the energy and strength like that. Just pain, endless pain. I can remember the first uninterrupted bicycle ride to my vegetable garden, which is 10 miles from my home. Victoryyyyyyy!!! You keep jogging with a big smile on your face, Paula. It's the greatest feeling, just knowing you're able to do it!
Yes after 14 years of crippling rheumatoid arthritis I gave up cows milk and miraculously my joints, hands, wrists healed and went vack to normal. Absolute miracle. I wish my doctors had told me about cows milk but they didn't. Thank you to Dr McDougall.
Paula Sounds Colombian... like me ;) I also developed RA a couple years after coming to the US. I used to hide my pain from my parents because I didn't want them to worry. Paula you are awesome!!! Food is our medicine - Love Daniela

Whoo-hoo! I was looking for a testimonial to send to a potential client and saw this one. I knew what it was going to be, but still brought me to tears watching it. That's why I keep doing this work! I agree...Thank you Dr. McD ! :-)
@GENOMCHAOS. This is six years after your posting sir, this woman describes a decent amount of pain, I suffered excruciating pain almost to the point of wheelchair bound with my Rhematoid arthritis, and couldn't write well for years because of the hand pain. Thank God I had a desk nursing job or else, I would've had to quit. RA is very painful
@@danacaro-herman3530 I've had some kind of inflammatory arthritis since 2006. I still haven't been properly diagnosed but this is what my current doctor suspects. I too know the pain of arthritis. It's been a journey with this condition to say the least. I hope things are at least somewhat better now for you. I wish there were more answers for this condition.
Dairy is by far the worst food for humans.. I have seen it over and over again.. Not that meat is great either but I always say to people if there is one thing you should quit or at least look into it is dairy (cows milk).. a food that no other animal consumes that is not designed for anything but a baby calf.
This is just a beautiful video, what a wonderful story Paula's journey has been in finding such a great outcome. So pleased for her; just another testament to the amazing work of Dr McDougall.
Thank you Paula, I'm newly diagnosed with this debilitating condition. I instantly went on web to find out about foods to take away my inflammation, I found your video and now I feel hopeful. You're positive energy shows in the video. Thank you
My story is nearly identical to hers and I am so hopeful that I'll also get the relief from my change to the starch based lifestyle. I gave up dairy first, months ago, and don't even miss it. I think dairy is dangerous to say the least! I'm committed to relieving the crippling RA that I have.
+Brandy Baker Thank you for asking! I'm glad to report that I managed to get into remission without medication and only through the right nutrition. I am thrilled to feel alive again!
@@leandra4078 I am very happy to say that I have not had a flare since I made the dietary changes and I do not take any medication whatsoever, only some supplements. Occasionally I will feel my hands hurt a little and it's when I have a lot of stress. I hope you can feel better!
Thank you :) I'm 100% all in (potaotes and broccoli I had today) and ready to beat this disease. To get a little bit of excercise I bought a desk cycle that I really enjoy as it is only my upper body that has problems.
Yes, I was not able to bike ride. Very sad. Now, I am with less pain. I will come off the wheat bread. I understand your tears...it is very frightening. This knowledge and aloe vera are reversing symptoms. God Bless you also.
It's the food. It's the food. It's the food! Una dieta completamente (por lo menos principalmente) de comidas integrales de plantas: Los cereales, las frutas, los frijoles, las verduras y poco otro. Los productos de leche son los peores para la mayoría.
I always want to know what the doctors who couldn't help with pharma chemicals say and think when someone like this heals their problems with a low fat, low sodium vegan diet.
I'll tell you what they say, I'm a medical typist ... they say, "That's nice dear. We must have got your diagnosis wrong. Turns out it was all in your mind!" But we know better 🙂
rice with some carrots and mushrooms baked with water and little bit of olive oil and salt... pasta with homemade tomato sauce... huge green salad.. green smoothie with some flax seed to fill me up... baked potatoes with spices... polenta ....
Avoiding oil is a huge part of the McDougall diet. You're not supposed to use any oil at all. Go to Dr. McDougall's web site, or read his books, to learn how you can cook without oil.
yes this is the best way to start for an introduction to the diet and recipes and is cheap as a used book on amazon. watch dr klaper and clint paddison. good luck.
What about plums and poppy seeds oatmeal on breakfast, Wild Rice, quinoa, corn, beans and brown rice cooked with cumin and Chili pepper and mixed with leek or onion, tomatoes, lemon juice, cilantro, and optionaly avocado for lunch. Big lettuce, cucumber bell pepper salad with balsamic vinegar and sunflower and chia seeds as a side to oven baked sweet potatoes (until they caramelise)?

Excellent! You need to have her do this ALSO in her native language, I am assuming it is Spanish, so she can reach EVEN more people, peace.
She has given me real hope. Great testimony !
I don’t have arthritis. I just like to look at her and listen to her talk.

people who have bad ra like me feel like there's hope listening to all these RUclips reversals..Some days we get so desperate and depressed from pain.

Thank you! My story of RA is the same. I haven't completely tried this but I am going to now.
Wow I can so relate to her story.
This woman is adorable Love her personality and her accent! A great story of how a vegan diet can completely cure people from all kinds of diseases.
Terrific

This is a lot better and cheaper than the medications most doctors are more than happy to prescribe.
👏👏👏👏👏 keep up the good work Paula......PS you're gorgeous
yup. dairy....the culprit for me, as well.
How are you now?
I have been suffering from arthritis and the only thing that has helped me personally is Hemp Oil. Has anyone else here tried it?

NO OIL!!! It is unrefined. it is inflammatory to the lining of the gut and
you dont need oil or the empty calories. @@iskrabla
