Common symptoms for juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis are pain, swelling, redness and stiffness. Juvenille
rheumatoid arthritis is the most common form of arthritis in children.
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis treatment is drug based and does not
address the cause of the condition. A natural treatment has been found
to be more effective.
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
Has your child been diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, aka JRA? Are you pulling your hair out trying to make them comfortable and agonizing about giving them medications with well known and dangerous side effects? Stay tuned, I’ll tell you how taking all natural supplements and changing their diet can bring dramatic improvements…if not a complete end to their condition.
JRA is the most common form of arthritis in children. It may be a mild condition or cause joint and tissue damage and could affect normal growth. As in adults, children may experience pain, swelling, redness and stiffness occurring usually in the small joints of the hands and feet, though the wrists and knees can also be involved…all due to inflammation and of course, there is an immune system component to this condition.
The really good news is that young kids respond so much more quickly to all natural treatment protocols than do adults, probably because of their rapid rate of growth and how quickly their body is changing.
The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is claimed to be unknown by conventional medicine because they always look for the same reason it occurs in everyone and then they try to design one pill that will work for everyone. Common sense tells most of us that’s a ridiculous and obviously failed concept.
In holistic medicine, our belief is that these conditions occur for reasons that are unique to each patient, though it expresses itself with the same symptoms in many patients. Inflammation is caused by the immune system component to this puzzle…and looking there, we will find the reason your child is suffering and what to do to end the condition.
OK, we know this is an immune system involved condition, so the question is, “What is causing the immune system to start attacking their tissue, thereby causing the symptoms we have just discussed?” You may be surprised to hear this and I assure you that your physician might disagree, but food allergies can play a major role…and you can’t have food allergies unless you have poor bowel function. Even if your child has no GI tract complaints, we will assume they do. These are the 2 clues we need to understand before we begin a treatment program for rheumatoid arthritis.
Treatment for any inflammatory auto-immune condition must provide support to the gastrointestinal system and the identification of food allergies. The basic premise behind this discussion is a condition call Leaky Gut Syndrome.
This occurs when your child’s beneficial bacterial balance has been altered…the “good bacteria”...that should be living in your bowels and then in time the chemistry of their bowel changes and …inflammation begins. Inflamed, the cells that line their gastrointestinal system enlarge and allow undigested food molecules to pass from the inside of their intestines into their bloodstream. In other words, it’s leaking.
The important part of the story now begins. Once these food molecules are inside their bloodstream, the body doesn’t recognize them, the immune system is called into action, antibodies are built and chemicals are created as part of the “immune system response”. What I’ve just described to you is the creation of a food allergy. It is well known that the chemicals created in this response have the ability to inflame tissue and more specifically to the patient, can cause the inflammation and deterioration of joints. But, what can be done?
First we must provide support to their gastrointestinal system and end the immune system mediated inflammatory response by removing certain foods from their diet. Read about healing the gastrointestinal system, how food allergies are created, how to arrange a food allergy test and the all natural supplements I recommend by visiting DrDahlman.com and downloading a report I have written about Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
Yes, I know that Rheumatoid Arthritis isn’t Crohn’s or Colitis, but Crohn’s, Colitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis are all inflammatory and auto-immune conditions. Treatment for one addresses the others and also solves the gastrointestinal involvement. And that’s the missing key and why you are having such a hard time getting rid of Rheumatoid Arthritis. It’s their similarities that I address in this report and the same natural treatment plan works for them all.

Don’t let your kids suffer from the pain and discomfort of Rheumatoid Arthritis, there are all natural alternatives.
