My MD means well, but every time my RA flares up they wish to prescribe some antinflammatories.. or better yet.. oral chemo to treat this progressing disease.
I have noted early deformity in my left hand #2 digit... I currently take a slew of mutlivitamins but also omega3 fish oils, and oil of primerose.
Any other suggestions? 鈥?Take calcium, magnesium, selenium, copper, B6, histidine, and bromelain every day.
鈥?Do not take iron supplements (such as ferrous sulfate, which is commonly given for anemia). These will intensify RA and arthritis.
鈥?Fasting brings temporary relief to RA, but the pain, swelling, and stiffness tend to return a few days after the fast is ended. However, some recommend a longer vegetable juice and vegetable broth fast of two or more weeks as having more lasting effects.
鈥?Food allergies can be involved. One study showed that 86% of a group of rheumatoid arthritics could trace the onset of their problem to allergies; most common were soy products, milk, eggs, coffee, and sugar foods. Try avoiding all those foods.
鈥?One research study noted that peoples who use large quantities of wheat, rye, and oats tend to have high rates of RA.
鈥?People with RA were found to have lower blood levels of folic acid, protein, and zinc than other people.
鈥?Lose weight, to reduce the strain on your joints.
鈥?Stretch nylon gloves, worn at night, help keep the hands warm. Better yet, keep your arms and hands under the covers at night.
鈥?Deep breathing exercises out-of-doors helps those with RA.
鈥?Alternating hot and cold baths help. Give 6 minutes for the hot and 4 minutes for the cold, to increase blood flow to the area. The healing is in the blood.
鈥?Aloe vera gel helps relieve pain. There is alot you can do to help. My brother has RA, quite progressed. It's alot to go into here. If you want to contact me I will tell tou what he has tried that helps him. Good for this condition are omega -3 fatty acids, try to get a supplement high in EPA. Also bromelain, a natural enzyme found in pineapples. As well as Glucosamine. There are several remedies in Chinese Herbal Medicine. The most potent single herb is Thunder Vine (Lei Gong Teng), but it is toxic and should be used only under the supervision of a professional. Perhaps you should seek someone with that qualification? Avoid glutens (wheat, processed food) like the plaque. Some say glutens trigger inflammation... Manuka Honey has been proven to be effective in treating arthritis because it has natural anti-inflammatory properties. It also has the ability to difuse deep into the skin in order to get to affected areas that are causing muscle and joint pain. Manuka Honey is a natural ingredient that has been found to have no negative side effects.
