Nurtrion and RA

[crimson]

It is estimated that collective spending by arthritis patients experimenting with unproven treatments, including diets, exceeds well over one million dollars annually. In 1989, Arthritis Care(ref 1) noted that greater than 50% of the Arthritis Care members who were surveyed, had invested in "unorthodox medicines, substances, or treatments (including diets), during the prior six months".


Here is a good read that I would like to share to guys. Her is the link http://www.hopkins-arthritis.org/patient-corner/disease-management/nutinra.html

Crimson, again, thank you. I spent years on my atrial fibrillation forums evaluating the many, many claims - often very aggressive claims - about how diet, supplements of vitamins and minerals, specific foods in and out, etc., did or did not "help." It was clear that some people benefitted from some specific dietary regimes and/or supplements, but overall the anecdotal results on that huge forum were completely mixed, as I'm sure they would be here if enough people responded.

I am a firm believer in the gold standard evaluations that involve double-blind studies, but it's hard to refine such evaluations well enough that we get unequivocal results. In my own case with regard to diets and supplements and the like, I give things a try, evaluate for myself, and do not pass along recommendations because what works for one so often does not work for another. (Fortunately, I like salmon and mackerel, so I can have my omega-3 a "test" because I like the food, whether it helps the RA or not!!).

I really endorse on the above words along with you. No diet is fit for one and all. Has the fingers are not one, so does diet. A word of caution, if anything is amiss while after a full meal or any new serving, don't take lightly. Keep in constant touch with GP and 'RA-gist'.

Yes, dieting certainly brings about the betterment of the situation in the ailing persons. There is a school of thought that recommends the intake of fruits as a measure of balanced diet in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
