Rheumatoid arthritis is primarily an inflammatory disease. It is an autoimmune disorder whereby the body's own immune system starts attacking joint tissue. A chronic disease, it tends to progress over time, but many people find the pain and stiffness come and go for varying periods of time. RA effects three times as many women as men. It is now thought that over acidity in the body and uric acid deposits in the joints are major contributing factors.

| Rheumatoid Arthritis |
Researchers in England have found that at least one third of people can completely control their rheumatoid arthritis by eliminating foods to which they have a sensitivity. The most common culprits are any foods and drinks containing cow's milk as well as the nightshade group of fruit and vegetables.
Heavy exercise may cause the disease to progress faster, but gentle exercise such as swimming, t'ai chi, yoga, stretching and walking are more helpful. Researchers have found that all rheumatoid arthritis sufferers are deficient in the major antioxidant nutrients, vitamins A, C, E plus the mineral selenium - but particularly vitamin E. The majority of rheumatoid arthritis sufferers also appear to be low in stomach acid, and therefore supplementing with betaine hydrochloride capsules ( Stomach acid ) can help. This make sense as betaine helps to digest proteins and most people who suffer from allergies have a problem digesting certain proteins. If you have active stomach ulcers, do not take betaine; use a digestive enzyme capsule instead.
Foods to Avoid
- Animal fats eaten to excess tend to aggravate rheumatoid arthritis. Avoiding dairy produce, as well as meat, sugar and eggs helps some people.
- Avoid known triggers such as tomatoes, potatoes, aubergines, peppers, oranges, plum and rhubarb - and their juices. Lectins, found in dried bears, can also exacerbate RA.
- Tea, coffee, chocolate, peanuts, spinach, rhubarb and beetroot are all high in oxalic acid, which seems to further aggravate rheumatoid arthritis.
Friendly Foods.
- Eat more pineapple, which is a rich source of bromelain.
- People who are not prepared to eat oily fish are going to need to swallow a lot of fish oil capsules or take a good couple of teaspoons of fish oil daily. For those who don't or won't eat fish, a dessertspoon or two of linseed oil, as well as using unrefined olive oil in salad dressings can help.
- A vegan diet has been shown to help some individuals.
- Root ginger and turmeric and the herb boswelia have anti-inflammatory properties. They will not alleviate the problem but can substantially reduce pain and this results in increased mobility.
- Eat plenty of cherries and garlic and use rice, oat or organic soya milks as alternatives to dairy produce from cows.
- Avocado is rich in vitamin E and essential fats - eat twice weekly.
- Eat plenty of green vegetables and add a green food powder to cereals, juices and desserts.
Useful remedies.
- For those who don't like pineapple, bromelain is avalaible as a supplement. Bromelain's activity is normally measured either as mcu (milk clotting units) or gdu (gelatin digesting units). You will need 2,000-6,000mcu or 1,000-4,000gdu daily. Take the bromelain on an empty stomach to increase its effectiveness.
- There is good research on the effectiveness of Evening Primros Oil (EPO) but the amounts you need to take are high - somewhere in the area of 10g daily.
- EPO is taken for its GLA (gamma linolenic acid) content; GLA is highly anti-inflammatory and is avalaible as a supplement. Take 1-2g daily.
- Take vitamin C, 1-3g daily, plus 400-800iu of natural-source vitamin E.
- Take a multimineral containing 30mg of zinc, 70mcg of selenium plus traces of copper, known to help reduce pain.
- Take EPA-DHA fish oil, 1-2g daily,
- Many sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis benefit from taking vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid). 500mg can be taken four times a day. As B vitamins work together, include a B complex in your regimen.
- The herbs curcumin and boswelia are also available in tablet and capsule formulas take 200-600mg.
- Take 300mg celery seed extract daily to reduce uric acid levels.
- Plant fats, sterols or sterolins (Moducare) extracted from fruit and vegetables, help balance the immune system. If the immune system is overactive, as it is in rheumatoid arthritis, the plant fats inhibit the damaging effects of antibodies that attack the body tissues. Take one capsule three time a day.
Helpful Hints for all types of arthritis.
Improving bowel function and gut flora using soluble fibres such as linseeds and supplementing acidophilus can improve a number of symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
Numerous people have experienced tremendous benefits after taking pure aloe vera juice daily for several months.
Nettle tea taken regularly has helped reduce the pain and swelling for many people.
To re-alkalise your system, take a good quality green powder.
A boswellia balm for joints and muscles, applied topically, will help to relieve pain and inflammation.
Sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis should consider having a blood test to check for possible food intolerances. Removing of food allergens may reverse symptoms in many types of arthritis.
Wearing magnets have given pain relief to many people. Magnets placed on the paintful area will increase blood flow, which brings more oxygen to an injury or area of pain, thus helping to reduce swelling and inflammation.
The chinese exercise regimes of t'ai chi or qigong have helped many sufferes. They are easy to practise, even with severely impaired mobility. Rheumatoid arthritis seems to be affected by stress, so make sure you stay as calm as possible.
