As a layman I have stay above and complete control of arthritis without drugs.
How to do it?
Your own body can do it. Your body is conditioned to fight the disease whether with drugs or herbs that enter the body to assist in battling.
In my earlier years I used drugs until drugs had lost its basic power to ease pain.
For 2 decades I had not taken any drug but appropriate herbs and correct natural foods to reverse gradually to no attack for many years.
As an onset of flare in the past, sometimes I could feel the blood was throbbing and moving to transport undesirable deposits and loaded in joints to cause pain and swells.
Drugs treatment - if drugs could not ease pain then the disease was in control during flare.
Herbs treatment - if appropriate herbs taken, it could ease pain and followed by many phenomenons like 'melting' and 'converting' toxic deposits in joints into air and gases, moving vigorouly the blood and cleansing the blockages in the veins that triggered the swollen joints to move automatically. After half and hour, the stomache was air/gas tight as the blood transported the wastes to the stomache. The activities were continuously belchings and fartings in its disposing process. Drinking water might see disposed urine contained much bubbles. All those unloading of toxic wastes was great relieve and comfort to the body. The herbal treatment is very friendly and the disease obey and co-operate willingly.
A great way to stay above and control the disease

Sorry, I just don't buy it. I've taken some time to read some of your posts and although I truly hope this type of treatment is working for you...I found myself getting agitated. Is it possible that you are in remission and have been? I am not opposed to herbs, meditation, accupuncture, natural foods etc.... As a matter of fact, I believe they are good things and some that I implement into my own life. I do not believe however that RA can be controlled with natural remedies alone, not to mention some natural remedies can do just as much harm as the commercial drugs. I'm really sorry if I come off sounding rude as it's not my intention.
Perhaps if this is working so well for you, you could post details rather than just continuing to swear by natural herb therapy. Details would give people something to research and look into if they are interested. Without details...there's false hope. If you have posted details and I've missed them...please correct me and direct me to the posts...I will gladly take a look. Again, I can't help but think that perhaps you've been in remission and if so...That's Fantastic!

Don't pay attention to this loser - he is always on here and makes people really upset. He is just trying to sell his herb and blames you for the disease. Avoid getting worked up....ignore his post.....good luckand Neasy this is the marketing type person everyone was upset with in previous posts he won't go away
PS he has gout not RA

The thing I've learned about alternative therapies is...they are "alternative" for a reason. If they had appropriate medical research studies showing the effectiveness of the alternative methods, they would become MAINSTREAM and no longer "alternative". Granted there are many anectodal reports of alternative therapies working, however if I can't find a true medical study showing that something works with appropriate control groups, etc, I will wait until more research has been done. I'm not saying that many don't find benefit from any given alternative therapy, I'm just saying that after doing research (quackwatch.com is a good one), I'm not ready to be a test subject.
Hi Juliahra,
Do you aso feel that way about antibiotic therapy as a treatment for RA? Just curious. Thanks.
Neasy - I know, I fell into his trap when i first started posting (although i am still pretty quiet around here i mostly just read the posts). he never answers any questions just repeats the same mantra about his herbs and how it is all our fault becuase of our diets. Funny thing is I eat extremely healthy. I didn't want to see you go through the whole rant with him.
have a good weekend
As for the antibiotic therapies, I truly know nothing about it, but will look into it.
One place I like to check first is quackwatch.com. Though I don't base all my decisions from that site, I use it as a springboard to start my research. I also trust my doctor a lot and won't try anything without checking in with him. I figure he is a lot smarter than I am and has spent many more years in medical school than most of my well-meaning friends. I don't rely on anectodal reports when something as serious as my health is concerned. Medicine is a science, and with science, there are controlled, scientific studies that can be done for any treatment. I tend to base my decisions on those results. However, if something alternative works for someone else, I think thats great and would never get into a debate about it with them. Each of us is responsible for our own health. What someone else chooses to do with their health and body is an entirely personal decision and whatever treatment anyone chooses, I wish them the very best. I do like reading about what others are doing though....particularly like reading posts when someone reports they are feeling better....no matter what method they used to get there.
love and hugs, J
