10 year old daughter diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis

[Guest guest]

My 10 year old daughter had been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis

and I am

just beginning to research possible treatments. (She is currently

being treated for

symptom suppression only by a Immunologist with traditional

pharmaceuticals:

naproxin, methotrexate, prednisone.)

I am seeing two types of potential treatments:

1/ chelation/detoxification with possible use of minocycline or

2/ LDN

My question is: Does anyone else have a similar diagnosis and if so,

what

experience or knowledge do you have regarding these two types of

treatments.

Thank you, Liz

My neighbor who has RA is using an antibiotic for her condition.

Tetracycline I think... She expressed her dismay at the mainstream

treatments and found the anitibiotic stuff on her own. Appearently it

offered relief for a while and then the efficacy dropped over time.

She is now periodically in a wheelchair.

I can find out if you need to know.

As far as I know, she is still taking the antibiotics. It is the

antibiotics, which after several years, she says might be losing the

efficacy. I do not know if she ever pursued conventional treatments

and have not heard her say anything about taking conventional treatments.

i'll send her your original message and see what the response is. My

information is hearsay.
