does anyone have a good diet for rheumatory arthritis?

Question

I am not a vegetarian, but I only eat poultry and fish. I'm big on veggies and low fat foods. I have heard that cutting out all animal fats might help with inflammations, any suggestions? I'm only 29 and I'm trying to go the natural route right now, I've been offered steroids for my pain but I'm not a fan of pimples or gaining weight. I'm a fanatic about my looks - I exercise regularly and for the most part consider myself very healthy. Any suggestions on diet - adding in or taking out? Supplements? Anything to help, the pain in my back is unbearable at times.

In a bit, I'm going to tell you why you might want to reduce your fish intake. But first it would be helpful if you understood what causes RA.

As you probably are well aware already, rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease.

This is almost always caused by what is called "leaky gut," a far more common condition than generally realized.

Steroids contribute to more of it, by the way. Other common culprits are antibiotics and birth control pills, even if they were taken years before or in early childhood.

These drugs promote yeast growth. When yeast flourishes, they sprout roots that dig holes into the intestinal lining. This allows protein particles to pass through undigested.

The immune system mistakes them for parasites and goes after them. But after a while, the immune system becomes over stimulated and starts attacking your body. In your case, it attacked your joints.

To reverse the whole process, I would do at least four things.All should be done in combination or their effect is minimal. They are all available at health food stores.

1- Take PB-8 or another excellent probiotic. This prevents the yeast from coming back.
2- Take olive leaf extract or Candistroy to eliminate the bad yeast.
3- Take glutamine (5 gms 2x a day) or IntestiNew to patch the intestinal holes.
4- Take a good multi-enzyme (different from a multivitamin) to give your digestive lining a chance to get better.

Do this for a month or two and you'll be amazed at how much better you feel.

The fifth thing to do that could be very important for helping to repair the damage you already have is to take large doses of evening primrose oil every day. Evening primrose has an anabolic effect, which is a good thing for RA.

Now about the fish. Fish is a healthy food to eat, so don't cut it out entirely. The problem is that fish is a catabolic food and RA is a catabolic imbalance. So, too much fish could worsen the condition.

You might be better off supplementing with soy protein for the time being until your condition is well healed. (In fact, if you have an RA attack of pain, take 30 drops of soy sauce in water and sip it. You might notice a drop in the pain level in about 10 minutes.)

You also mentioned eating poultry. If you eat eggs, make sure they are poached or boiled. Boiled and poached eggs have an anabolic effect on the metabolism, while fried or scrambled eggs have a catabolic effect on the metabolism.

Good luck and be well.

Well let's say God created everything. I suppose those thingscould be natural breakdown of His creations over time and in different elements. Cancer increases when someone is exposed to harmful chemical or UV rays, diabetes with an inactive lifestyle and unhealthy diet, and so on and so on. So I suppose we can be partly blamed for our own diseases. Others are unavoidable. I'm sure if our world was created that there is a very real way that things work, and that's it all wasn't just speaking a few words and waving His hands around and the world came to be. I'm sure there has to be some natural law, some force through which everything was created. Science has yet to find it, but it's there.

Have you tried a Yahoo search for "rheumatoid arthritis" + diet?

Answer 5

yes cutting out animal will help ... but you could stick with fish if you eat only wild and cold water, or you can opt for flax seeds and flax seed oil instead.

one of my friends used weed, seriously, and she said it took away all the pain. she was normal again. I wouldn't smoke it like her though (she also smoked cigs which didn't help her), I would eat it in a brownie or in tea or pill form if I was her. Though, many people say smoking it makes you get instant relief while digesting it takes longest.

my friends also say, "stay away from government weed, and laced weed".
