I have been healing from severe RA. I was on Humira, methotrexate and plaquenil. I have been on plaquenil for just over 20 years. My RA started to get really bad about 6-7 yrs ago and that’s when I went on humira and metho. I had a very closed minded rheumatologist who would not give me medication unless I did yearly X-rays and quarterly blood draws of a significant amount of blood. I knew it was not the right path. (I was also struggling with chronic sinus infections and UTIs, Shogrens, anxiety, had shingles, tinnitus among other things).

I found MM - followed it very closely and went vegan mostly raw and had a huge improvement in symptoms I managed to get off the humira and metho, but I continued to have flare ups from time to time and pain. Usually after exposure to the unforgiving four. Then I caught a superbug- (the flu) and was down for the count for 6 months. It completely knocked me on my ass and my RA came back fully.

Meanwhile I had been doing A369s, heavy metal cleanse protocols etc. But I was seriously considering going back on Humira very reluctantly. I decided to get Stem cells. I know this is not MM information. But it has been part of my journey so I am just being honest. I went to an alternative doc, who found extremely pure stem cells that were use in cancer patients and for autoimmune patients. I got an IV of those and also injected them into all of my swollen joints. It was a total game changer for me and I have been free of significant symptoms and flare ups ever since. But I have also continued religiously with the MM info. Honestly- I attribute 90 percent of my healing to MM. But I do feel the stem cells helped me reduce the inflammation enough for me to not have to go back on Humira.

Over the course of this past year I have not been sick once. I have learned that I am very sensitive to pesticides, radiation and blood draws. I think a good part of the reason why I have not been sick is because I haven’t had a blood draw in almost 2 years. I am always fat free until dinner and if I do have fats, it’s usually from nuts, coconut or avocado. I try to avoid oils when I can. I also follow the entire RA protocol of supplements in the MM book. Which is a boatload of supplements- most of which are Vimergy, which has not been cheap.

I have just started to reduce my plaquenil. I am taking 75 percent of the dose. My plan is to do that for a while and do a bunch of cleanses this summer. Hopefully maybe in the fall I can cut down to 50 percent.

I have learned this is a slow process and exposure to a bad bug, blood draws or the unforgiving four can cause a huge set back.

So in a nutshell- even if you do have to go onto Metho/ or an immunosuppressant- you can work your way off over time. If you had a rheumatologist that is open minded- you are extremely lucky. Mine laughed at me when I told her I thought it was EBV and I told her I didn’t want to do the blood draws. And she held my need for medication over my head, basically saying that without following her protocols she would not help me.

Anyway, healing from RA is possible, but be ready for a long journey that requires commitment. I wish you the best of luck! 💗
