Oxidative stress contributes MAJORLY to the pain level of these diseases.
You need to lower that as much as possible.
Through diet and supplementation. (I have a fave, I sell it... I'm sounding like a broken record, 'cause I love it so much. But I'm pretty sure people don't believe me!) Do your research! |

They seem to have it down to a science, very good results with them now, and my dad was almost 10 years ago!
Keep yourself from stressing as much as possible! You will do just fine!  |

I eliminated gluten, sugar/sugar substitutes, egg, peanuts, soy and corn from my diet. These are known pro-inflammatories and are pro-allergens for some people.
Its not that hard to eat this way either. |
A great cookbook is Gwyneth Paltrow's It's All Good. She indicates which recipes are vegan or gluten free or protein packed or are for the elimination diet. I am gluten free right now and have made about a dozen of her recipes and they are all delicious and easy to make. You might have to make the the occasional trip to a health food store for something like xanthan gum (used in gluten free baking) but many items can be substituted. She is a health conscious good cook who loves food. Her kids are allergic to gluten, I think. Moses loves to cook and even has a recipe in the book that he made up! I bought my copy on amazon.com for less than full price. |

Hi, Everyone, I have RA and recently, OA, too.
I take methotrexate for my RA. I see my rheumy this Friday. What are you doing for your arthritis? I'm not overweight and I exercise regularly. Although my OA is preventing me from walking very well. My condition is worsening.  |
I have systemic lupus with Sjögren's syndrome, my Ana test was really high my rheumy put me on plaquenil at first it didn't help so she wanted to put me on prednisone and some other medication. I refused and started 100% raw food I felt really good but didn't keep up with it so my pain came back. After lot of research I found the gerson therapy so I followed it with all the juices soups supplements and enemas required. The lupus pain got better but I had healing crisis. They do mention that and I had 3around the times they mentioned 2 weeks, 5 weeks and 3 months.
I'm supposed to do it for 18 to 24 months but i did it for 6 months then my mother in law came to spend few months with us I have to cook for her so it's been hard keeping up with it. I do feel much better than before, I'm a year n Half away from getting my black belt in MMA. I'm getting ready to post a video of me breaking boards and bricks 
U don't have to go that extreme but give up gluten dairy soy sugar. In the gerson therapy u can have sugar thru fruits, honey, maple or even raw organic unfiltered sugar. Sugar is not what causes inflammation but the kind of sugar.
Also buy everything organic. |

This makes me wonder if cane sugar is okay. Most white sugar is GMO beet sugar (unless it specifically says "cane") and it wouldn't surprise me if that is causing all the health problems. Buy a box of each and smell them. The GMO beet sugar has an odd smell, at least to me.
Gwyneth Paltrow's cookbook, It's All Good, has lots of great recipes without those allergenic foods. Some substitute goat or sheep dairy for cow. She uses brown rice syrup,honey and maple syrup instead of sugar. Some soy recipes, but it must be organic soy and tofu. Again, since most soy products are GMO it wouldn't surprise me if that is why people are allergic.
I heard that gluten allergy could be tied to some forms of hybrid wheat so eating "ancient" wheat can help.
I'd like to see people experiment and see if they ate all those supposed bad foods in organic form, if their symptoms would go away. Or perhaps don't eat them for 90 days and gradually add the organic versions in one at a time for a month,for example, so see if there was any reaction. |

I know everyone is going to jump all over me about this but chiropractors are mostly about the placebo effect. Think rationally. The spine can't be so easily readjusted. If this were the case then football players would come off the field with their backs all zig-zaggy from all the hits they take. Children's spines would be going in every direction from the rough housing they do. The cracks you hear when chiropractors re adjust the spine is the same cracks you hear when you crack a knuckle. Nothing more. That cracking sound is synovial fluid which is present in the joints and the cracking releases a gas. Eventually the gas returned to the synovial fluid and you can crack your knuckles again.
Well, actually the spine can be readjusted but it's called a spinal cord injury. And no one wants that.
Get a good massage. It's better for you and not as dangerous. |
