a theory | Arthritis Information

Right I have a theory and I've been reading up on it so I'm throwing it out there because it might be working for me but I'm not sure yet.  OK.  Anti ccp is to do with citrulline right, and then arginine is converted from citrulline or the other way round or something and the body attacks this amino acid.  So it would make sense to limit the amount of foods we eat that are high in arginine right so there wouldn't be as much citrulline to attack.  Well this sounds either like herpes where you are supposed to avoid arginine rich foods and take lysine supplements which are about from the health food stores - i've been taking them for a few weeks and it looks like it is working - and also i read that mycoplasma thrive on arginine rich foods like nuts etc so there could be a connection there.  Look up herpes and arginine and lysine and there are tables on what foods to eat etc and i saw another site where a doctor tried giving lysine and it made a big diffrence.  I just that about the connections - i don't know much medically but it really seems like there is a glaring connection here.  

Ack!

Must research!

SO WAHT ARE ARGININE FOODS? EXAMPLES PLEASECheck out this site for foods highest in Arginine.  How could you ever eliminate all of these and still have anything to eat?
