sister recently diagnosed with RA

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. My name is Crystal. My sisters been diagnosed with

RA. She's young and a mom of 2 young kids. Other than prayer, I'm

at a loss for what to do for her. I've been scouring the web for

information...something that might help her besides just the meds

she's on...and no, I don't know what they are at this time.

I checked out the " alternative " support groups too but they sound a

bit too alternative for me.

Is there something that she could be doing/taking in conjunction

with her meds? I found something about plain Knox gelatin

(including Knox Nutrajoint) but I'm skeptical. Has anyone here ever

heard or tried it before? Was there any relief/improvement? There

really are no true scientific studies on it just testimonials and

sites that talk about scams.

Also...Calorad. I know it's touted as a weight-loss formula (which

may or may not be true) but I have heard from at least one person

that it has helped them with their RA (pain). But, I don't want to

go on just the testimony of one person. Has anyone here heard of

it/tried it specifically for RA? Is it bogus or has it offered

relief?

I feel I must say that it is not my intention to mislead anyone with

this post. I am not promoting anything. I would hate for anyone to

read this post and think that there is a miracle cure/relief. I am

just trying to find out if what I've run across is helpful. Yeah,

maybe I am grasping at straws myself, but she's my sister.

Thank you, Crystal
