Rheumatoid Can I Try Anything Else? Posted: 03-04-06 13:17pm
Male aged 44 years, rheumatoid sufferer
for 8 years, married, 1 daughter unable to
work, poor mobility.
My currnet dilema is that after 8 years of
ra I have some small joint damage and high
esr (78) . In the past I have had gold
injections, methetexate and arava with
very bad side effects. For the last 5
years I only had homeopathy for the ra
which was treated at the hospital. But
since my consultant left I had a very bad
flare up and a dose of oral steroids and
then a depo to calm it down. The
rheumatolgist said I should try
etanercept, but with my history I dont
want to ( I had nerve inflammation for one
year due to arava).
What other options are open to me do you
think, other than meds?
Thanks for reading

I will try to find out the answer for you
asap. Even if you do buy it I believe he
offers a 100% money back guarantee. I'm
trying to get a hold of an aquaintance who
used it and it helped but I don't know the
specifics.

Hey paul
I wasn't able to reach my friend who
tried it but I did write the owner of the
book. This is his reply.
Diana,
thank you for your email. No, it is not
diet related, although there are some
dietary recommendations for certain types
of arthrits. Unfortunately, we are
unable to reveal the contents of the
ebook. However, I can say it is
all-natural and has helped thousands of
people to end the pain. I hope this
helps.

Dearpaul,
ra is basically autoimmune response of
body to specific cells of joints and
subcutaneous tissue.The best way to treat
ra is either through disease modifying
immunosuppresants dmards like
methotrexate,leflunomide or inj. Gold
salts.All have potentially fatal side
effects.Steroids are only of temorary
use.
The best way is to try oral ayurvedic
drugs like bruhad suvarna vasant malti
ras.This could be easily available at an
ayurvedic store.
Also you can combine bruhad vat chintamani
ras.Take these from a good ayuvedic
company.
I have seen many patients being benefitted
out of this.
Regards,
dr.Pratik trivedi

Hi
according to Dr. John axford, past
president of the college of rheumatology
and immunology at the royal college of
physicians, uk, who has been researching
and treating ra patients for over 10
years, the cause of ra is a monosaccharide
that is missing in the body of ra
sufferers. The lack of this sugar
causes malformation of glycolipids and
glycoproteins on the cells' outer wall.
The immune system recognizes those broken
glycoforms as 'not me' and does it's job
and attacks.
Dr. Axford has found that whenever he
gave the missing glyconutrient to his ra
patients, all trace of ra disappeared.
He is in process of making this study
avaiilable for peer review but he has been
sharing this information casually
throughout the glycome community.
one thing you can look into that could
help is bodytalk. It’s an alternative
health care system that is getting great
results with arthritis. They have an
online radio show http://www.Bodytal
ksystem.Com/radio/index.Cfm on
wednesday the 14th on june and it’s
specifically orientated to arthritis.
It’s free so it might be worth a listen
cheers

Hi,
i took ra about 9 yrs ago. After a few
yrs on anti inflamatories, I went on to
sulphasalzine for 4 years which helped
alot. I had significant damage to my
elbow which resulted in having the joint
replaced 20 months ago.
This drug is less effective now and I have
just started on anti tnf drugs which seem
to be reducing the level of flares and I
am told will hopefully stop further
damage.
You will still get pain from damaged
joints, but as you know, this is nowhere
near as bad as the actual active ra
pain.
In short, I have tried all the homeopathic
medication. Acupuncture, glucosamine,
arsenico, chrondotin, u name, they dont
work on ra. Good for oa im told though.
Stay positive, keep ur chin up.
Hope this helps.

Have you heard anything on the fairly new
medication that .Sally .Field advertises,
I cannot think of the name of it at this
time and I do not even remember if it is
osteo or rheumatoid arthritis that she
has, I was just curious I cannot take
anti-anflammatories and I have a nasty
reaction from steroids. I have tried
glyconurients and they were not of any
help to me but we are all different.
About all I can do is mask the pain due to
other medical problems. My dr says that I
need a majic pill or a pain pump.
All the best to you!
