Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 G'day QXCIers, curious, is it not, that no mention is made of Diet in the treatment of RA? -all i have to offer is empirical evidence. In 1988 i was diagnosed with RA & was given many drugs. After reading the side-effects, it was clear that the cure was worse than the disease [stomach upset,liver & kidney dysfuntion,constipation,etc],so they went in the trash. Therehad to be a better way. An 86yr old customer at the garage i worked in saved my hide, by declaring, " No milk,meat,sugar,caffeine,tomatoes,potatoes,peppers & no beer! You must eat brown rice & veggies to neutralise the ph of the blood! Only then will the liver & kidneys begin to work properly in purifying the blood. " well, none of the medical dieties,aka,MDs ever mentioned diet, but i figured,'what have i got to lose?' Needless to say,along with vit/mineral supplements, it worked like a charm: no joint deformation,pain etc. It is important to adhere to Mrs.H's advice for the rest of your RA prone life,however. Easy to do, if you recall the consequences of bad eating... When i shared this with world famous Dr.S, he laughed & dismissed it. I told him to f...himself & stormed out of his surgery. If you fill your gastank with subpar petrol, the car won't run right:we are no different. Hope this helps. cheers, dar & #8220;Winning the War Against Rheumatoid Arthritis & #8221; " kiran pari " wrote: RA is a condition that forces half of patients to become disabled from the work force within five to ten years? and reduces life expectancy by as much as 18 years. RA affects about one per cent of the world & #8217;s adult population, most commonly women between the ages of 30 and 50. The good news is that a tremendous amount of progress has been made within the last ten years in identifying patients earlier and treating the disease more aggressively...
