Hello Rainy Sue,

The first seven months or so after I was diagnosed with RA, I was so

disabled and nothing was helping. About all I could do was read, so I read

everything I could find on RA. Some information seemed to come up over and

over. One was that omega 3 fish oil helps and the other was that citrus

fruit acid get involved with the joints. On the other hand, some things I

read were so unusual and never came up again. The most memorable was a book

that talked about an area in China where many of the children -- I believe

50% -- were coming down with JRA. Evidently the soil was depleted of

natural sulfur. Crops had not been rotated or some such thing. This was

interesting since Coburn was on the news about that time saying how

much MSM had helped him (MSM is sulfur). Another book written in the 30s by

a physician who used hot mustard packs on the swollen hands of his RA

patients was interesting. The doctor said it would cause sores and the

toxins would drain out and the hands go back to normal. He said it had

worked on many of his patients. Even though my hands looked like boxing

gloves at the time, I didn't rush out and try mustard packs!

I just take all the information with a grain of salt and try to piece it all

together. I am sick right now from eating a piece of chocolate pie

yesterday -- my gut, not the RA. Anyone who knows sugar will do them in and

still dives in deserves to hurt like I do today. Soon I will forget and be

right back into the sugar " bowl " again!

A few houses up the street from me there grows the most beautiful navel

orange tree -- my favorite type of orange. It is all I can do not to grab

a few each time I walk by. They are big and fat and perfectly ripe! With

all the Rose Parade visitors from all over the country camped all over, the

tree will probably be picked clean in a couple of days. Hope no one gets

shot! (Years ago I lived in Tujunga, CA and a man shot a kid who picked a

pomegranate (sp) off his tree and then killed himself). Remembering that

incident keeps my paws off the navel oranges!

Happy New Year!

Patsy

Thank you, Patsy. That is sad. I LOVE oranges. I haven't noticed anything

different when eating them, so I will continue to do so. I eat about 2 at a

time. =) Yummy!
