Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment
Are you concerned about the drugs you’re taking for your Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment? Side effects…how long will I be on them? What happens if I can’t take them anymore? You should be concerned. The types of medications prescribed for Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment are among the most dangerous you could ever take…but there are natural alternatives. Stay tuned and I’ll explain what they are.
Conventional medical treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis, aka RA usually revolves around pain medications. Aspirin, Tylenol, Motrin…these and other non steroidal anti inflammatory medications are the front line for treatment. As your case worsens, stronger pain relievers or corticosteroids like Prednisone are prescribed. The cancer fighter Methotrexate and immune system suppressor Humira are also part of the medicine kit of the conventional physician.
It may surprise some that Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn’s Disease and Colitis are all related as inflammatory, immune system mediated conditions. That may seem illogical except that many RA patients are on Asulfidine, Azathioprine, aka Immuran and Remicade…all of which are used for Crohn’s and Colitis patients also.
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 you are 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 our tissue, thereby causing your symptoms?” 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 you have no GI tract complaints, we will assume you do. These are the 2 clues we need to understand before we begin a treatment program for rheumatoid arthritis.
The basic cause is a condition call Leaky Gut Syndrome which allows undigested food molecules to pass from the inside of the intestines into your bloodstream, where the body doesn’t recognize them, the immune system is called into action, antibodies are built and chemicals are created which can cause the inflammation and deterioration of your joints. But, what do you do about it?
First we must restore health to your gastrointestinal system and end the immune system mediated inflammatory response by removing certain foods from your 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 free report I’ve written about Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Remember, the same treatment works for all of them and also solves the Leaky Gut Syndrome. You can also find information about the specific food allergy test I suggest by visiting DrDahlman.com and clicking on “Conditions” and then “Lab Tests”.
Don’t suffer from the pain and discomfort of Rheumatoid Arthritis, there are all natural alternatives.
