Drug Free Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment
Rheumatoid arthritis can be a severe disease. It can dramatically damage joints to the point that they become almost completely useless.The idea that diet could play any role at all in this disease is completely ignored by most conventional medical doctors especially rheumatologists.
But what if they are wrong?
I’m here to tell you that they are wrong. And now, at last, a single-blinded controlled study proves the fact. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if rheumatologists would pay attention to it?
Researchers took a group of 53 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. They measured all of their laboratory values, symptoms, and physical findings. Then they divided them into two groups. One group remained on their regular diets. The other group went on a 7-10 day fast. And after the fast, they went on an individually adjusted vegan, gluten-free diet for three-and-a-half months.
At the end of the 3.5 months, they added in dairy products. They stayed on that diet for another nine months.
At the end of the year, the researchers re-examined both groups. Results should make all rheumatologists pay special attention to the old dictum, “They didn’t teach me everything in medical school.” Here’s what they found out.
“For all clinical variables and most laboratory variables measured, the 27 patients in the fasting and vegetarian diet groups improved significantly compared with the 26 patients in the control group who followed their usual diet throughout the study period.”
Another Year Later
the patients completed the trial, the researchers re-examined them again. And even a year later, the results persisted. And here is the interesting part.
The food allergy testing they used was of no help. This doesn’t surprise me. I think too many people depend on food allergy tests completely to tell them what foods may be a problem for them.
Don’t get me wrong. I use food allergy tests. But I’ve always thought that there was an error rate in them. This study proves that point. They found a 20 – 30% error rate amount the people studied. This means that of the people who tested OK for certain foods, When they eliminated those foods from their diet anyway, there was a clinically significant change in the way they felt. That means that there is a 20-30% chance that the foods that are supposed to be okay are not okay.
