A new research case series presents food as medicine as a potential treatment for autoimmune diseases, describing three patients with chronic autoimmune disease who showed remarkable improvement after following a predominantly raw dietary pattern high in cruciferous vegetables and omega 3 fatty acids.
The research focused on three women with systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome who adopted a nutrition protocol that emphasized leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, flax or chia seeds for omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and water and included predominately raw foods. All three women reported that nearly all their symptoms of both diseases resolved after just four weeks of making the dietary changes.
Furthermore, all three patients have remained symptom-free, with two of them reporting no symptoms for more than six years without recent medication use.
"The dramatic improvements in symptoms and quality of life reported by the three patients in this case series demonstrates what I see every day in my practice: that autoimmune diseases can quickly improve with optimal nutrition."
Dr. Goldner herself has been free from debilitating lupus symptoms, including arthritis, photosensitivity, renal impairment, and antiphospholipid antibody clotting issues for over 18 years, which she attributes to the nutrition protocol.
The patients presented in the case series followed a strict, customized, plant-based nutrition protocol called the Rapid Recovery Protocol (RRP), which was developed by Dr. Goldner and eliminates all processed food. The nutrition protocol shares similarities with a whole-food, plant-based diet but focuses "on predominately raw foods and high intakes of leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (whole, ground flax or chia seeds; cold pressed flaxseed oil), and water."
Once remission was achieved, patients were allowed to begin a maintenance phase and incorporate cooked whole plant foods, and more fruits, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

It’s a well known fact that lots of servings of fruits and vegetables (eating the rainbow) will decrease inflammation and also restore and maintain a healthy gut microbiome- which is essential for immune and brain function. THAT is why the government is determined to destroy and taint the quality of food you ingest.
Why flax and chia seeds for omega-3 fatty acids? Will eating fish warm the planet too much? (I had cod for lunch, will I cause the Earth to burst into flames?)
“Three women”???

This makes sense to me...
Interesting. I have lupus, sjogrens, & Raynaud’s.
Sounds very interesting
You might not notice them, in a bit over a month…
I fasted for 14 days (water and supplements, blueberries, vitamins excepted). My psoriasis disappeared.
I believe flax and chia have an impact on sex hormones.
I think they might tank testosterone, but I can’t research it right now.
“Plant based diet”
Stopped reading there.
The doctor is promoting utter horseshit (anti-meat propaganda), and any intelligent observer can discern the reality of dietary changes to health (for which I respond, “DUH!”).
Well, looks like zero harm in trying and without those pesky side effects of heart attack, kidney failure, thoughts of suicide, blood clots, hemorrhage, etc.
You reset your body. That is an amazing story to share.
I take it you eat a more normal diet, today, and have no flareups?
The first few days, it was agony. The last few days I was in the swing of it. Could have kept going actually.
But I’m back to a normal diet, yes.
And no flare ups yer.
