Anyone know about rheumatoid arthritis? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 524772 United States 10/19/2008 10:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey OP- Sorry to hear about your disgnosis. I know from doing some research for my mother(who was recently diagnosed with scoriatic arthritis) that the common thread between your two diagnoses is that they are both autoimmune disorders. I came across an excellent book during my research and I think it might be a helpful starting point for you in your research. It's called, "The Autoimmune Epidemic: Bodies Gone Haywire in a World Out of Balance--and the Cutting-Edge Science that Promises Hope" I relly liked the fact that the author delved deeply into environmental triggers for autoimmune problems as well as discussing vaccinations as a possible trigger. Here's the description from Amazon: "Type 1 diabetes, Crohn's disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis—all these increasingly common illnesses are autoimmune diseases in which the immune system attacks the body's own tissues or nervous system. Equally alarming, as journalist Nakazawa tells us, is researchers' growing suspicion that autism may be an autoimmune disease, brought on in part by genetic predisposition, exposure of young bodies to man-made chemicals and perhaps viral triggers. Nakazawa (Does Anybody Else Look like Me?), who herself has been diagnosed with the autoimmune Guillain-Barré syndrome, tells of a lower-income Buffalo, N.Y., neighborhood where the growing number of relatively young residents with lupus led one persistent woman to discover that a lot where children played had been a dumping ground for industrial chemicals. She also chronicles the work of researchers at Johns Hopkins and other medical centers who have been able to regrow nerves using embryonic stem cells and destroy errant T cells of the immune system that have run amok. Included are suggestions for foods that may promote healthy immune response and consumer body care products to avoid. Everyone with a friend or family member with an autoimmune disease will find this a must read. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved." Best of luck to you, OP. Do your own research and be your own advocate is the best advice I have to give. |

I had a spat of rhrumatoid arthritis..and I was able to cure myself in six weeks. But first I was in a wheel chair and told I would never get well. Here's how I got well:. went on a dairy free, meat free and oil free diet. Totally raw foods just fruits and veggies. maybe a little raw milk yoghurt and pure olive oil. Absolutely no sugar, white flour or processed/cooked foods of any kind. I just carried a bag of carrots and/or apples with me and at pot lucks or outings, always carried a peeler with me. I had a lot of avocados too. If you are able to forgo all the poisonous processed cooked and sugary foods you will be rid of your illness in less than two months. Also some people get arthritis from foods in the nightshade family. I have cut all those out permanently, but now do eat cooked foods and a little whole grains. The terrible swollen and inflamed joints never did come back. |

He claims that RA is treatable with a low dose of older anti-biotic course for about 6 mo's and proper nutrition and supplementation. Sometimes you can even call and speak to him directly on a radio show he has outta CA, but I don't have that # on hand. I'm sure you can Google it though. Good luck.

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!!!" “…if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." - Woodrow Wilson from his death bed regarding his involvement in the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. |

Quoting: OP 530857This morning I am in so much pain I can't walk at all. It's really upsetting You have to make the decision to get well and you have to be willing to cut off all the poisonous modern foods that we all so love. Drink lots of pure water--no coffee, tea and especially no soft drinks, and just buy a large bag of apples and a lot of carrots. Peel and eat whenever you feel hungry. I remember when I had my attack I lost my appetite. After I ate only raw foods for a few days, I started to get hungry again. Just stuff yourself with celery, avocados, etc. You will be amazed at how quickly you will feel better! |

SMALLBUSINESS User ID: 509837 United States 10/20/2008 04:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i was diagnosed with RA when i was 14, technically juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. coincidentally, i was own a school trip outta town when my knee swelled up about twice its normal size, don't remember any pain, but it was literally locked up so the doctor couldn't even force it to bend. spent a couple days in the hospital while they tried to figure out what was going on. they had thought it was rheumatic fever, then they thought they heard a heart murmur, but apparently that had to do with RA. i took naproxen(sp) for the first couple of years, but after a lil while it didn't help at all so i quit. it affects my entire body which ensures i'm always in some sort of pain. i don't like taking medicines for long periods of time, so the only medication i'm on now is tylenol arthritis when i can't tolerate the pain. oh yea, started taking Osteo Bi-flex also, it takes a little while for it to start helping, like 1 week to a month, but it does help. |

TX PATRIOT User ID: 506675 United States 10/20/2008 04:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My 70+ year old father has suffered from R arthritis for over a decade and was in so much pain that the Doctors had him on Methatrexate (sp), a very dangerous drug used to treat cancer. His joints would "buckle" and freeze, and he would have pain (gas bubbles between joints) that would almost drop him to his knees. While visiting me recently, he started taking colloidal silver at my request because he was feeling ill. He lives in east end Houston close to chemical plants, and he rode out Ike. The pollution in that area post-Ike is really bad, and he was experiencing respiratory issues when he arrived at my house (well away from Houston). I only gave him 2 oz CS per day (one oz in the AM and one oz early evening). This is considered a maintenance dose, by the way. Treatment doses are up in the 4-6 oz per day range. What he discovered in three days was 95% relief from his arthritis, returned strength and full dexterity in his hands and total clearing of his lungs (being in my neck of the woods probably helped). He had me purchase a generator kit for him before he left because he wasn't going to be without the CS. He stopped his Methatrexate three weeks ago. Just sharing a personal account. Best to you. . |

Get rid of all your plastic storage containers - buy glass. Since your skin is the largest organ in your body, choose a natural soap wisely...no chemicals, etc. and totaly natural. Choose a shampoo that is also organic with no chemicals added. Since your scalp/hair will absorb what you put against it, put something organic against it... Do NOT use skin creams that have chemicals added to them. This includes most skin creams. The cream is absorbed into your bloodstream. Be carefull what you use as cream. Organic coconut oil/organic olive oil seems best for skin. Bottom line - think outside the box. Know all the products they want to sell you will only make 'them' money. Get naturl, be natural, enjoy your place in ordering 'natural' products. And again, think outside the box.Remember how you were raised, what foods YOU ate. |
