Re: RA and Naturapathic treatment - Update

[Guest guest]

Daughter saw a new regular medical rheumy today. He's a member of

several RA doctor's groups and a fellow in one research group. She

now has no inflammation at all in her hands. He encouraged her to

continue with the naturapathic treatment with the naturapath and

will check her again in a month. If things remain okay she will be

weaned off the placquinil and then the celebrex. Who could have

imagined all this happening, especially so quickly? I know most

doctors and most people do not believe that naturapathic medicine

can help. We are still in total awe of this. Best wishes and

helpful treatments to all of you.

Hi,

I'm very ineresed in the naturapathic treatment your daughter is

getting. I would do anything, if I was sure, to get off my meds (mtx,

Plaquanil, Sulfasalazine, - (I stopped Celebrex bcs it gave me

stomach bleeds). Could you please share that with us? Thank you,

Willow,

It's also possible that your daughter's diagnosis of RA was incorrect.

Not an MD

I am also interested. I just found a homeopathic center here in my local

area. As soon as I can afford it I will be seeing her. I am tired of docs as

so far we have not made any progress but to make me worst and not better. I

seem to do better without meds than on meds...odd!

I have heard so many good things about the center in my area. I am hoping

they are able to help me.

Please share of more details of what her treatment is like?

That does sound interesting. I would not be able to do it though as I take

several medications for other diseases/health issues besides RA. My physicians

will not under any circumstances allow me to mix prescribed medications with

herbal/natural meds

Hi :I hope you are feeling better and having less pain.How is your URI

doing?I & nbsp; hope this is the last one, as you have been through so much having

them back to back.It is no fun being sick in bed for so long.How is your R A

doing?With all this crazy weather our bodies can't take much more! I had to take

2 pain meds every 4 hours yesterday, and last night. My feet and ankles hurt so

bad I wanted to chop them off. I am off them today, hoping they settle down as I

can hardly stand on them. It really stinks that we have days like this, even

weeks. Are you able to be out of bed now? I sure hope so. It is good you like to

read, me too. When do you see your Rheumy next? I go in 2 weeks. I will get the

results of the MRI's of my feet and ankles. I have wanted to go to 's for

some craft supplies, but my feet are too bad to do so now.A great life if we

don't weaken. Hard to fight the tides sometimes. I pray you will be all better

soon, and

able to do more things. I am sending you some hugs, and prayers that God will

make you feel better soon.Barbara

& gt; & gt; Hi All,

& gt; & gt;

& gt; & gt; Haven't been to the group site for a while. My daughter was

& gt; & gt; diagnosed with RA (she's 40) about a year ago. Her rheumy put

her

& gt; & gt; on Placquinil and Celebrex and later on Methotrexate along with

& gt; & gt; sleeping pills and several pain meds. After a year

& gt; & gt; there was no improvement, no joint damage but still a lot of

& gt; & gt; inflammation and a lot of pain meds. After talking to several

& gt; & gt; people she went to see a recommended Naturapath in a nearby

town.

& gt; & gt; It has been an amazing journey. After one week the inflammation

& gt; was

& gt; & gt; down and she was off the sleeping pills and was down from 8 to 12

& gt; & gt; pain pills to only 2 a day. We are now heading into week 3 and

& gt; she

& gt; & gt; is off the Methotrexate also and her regular rhuemy says whatever

& gt; & gt; she's doing is working as the inflammation is going down. He

also

& gt; & gt; said that sometimes RA is caused by a food allergy. She is on

& gt; & gt; supplements for inflammation and sleeping and has had two allergy

& gt; & gt; treatments at the Naturapath's office.

& gt;

I will have to find out what supplements she is taking. There are

multiples I know and they mostly have long names. :-)) It's true

that my daughter does not have any other medical problems so mixing

meds isn't an issue. She is continuing to find her " trigger "

foods. MSG is a biggie. Aspartame is one, too much sugar or refined

flour also. Doesn't do ice cream or cake well and knows within

several hours after eating if she's eaten a wrong food. She is

adding more food back all the time since she's not a very patient

person and likes what she likes! Luckily she's thin so there's no

weight-gaining issues. She's having a big problem doing without

soda pop. She's thinking of trying the ones with Splenda since it

doesn't seem to bother her. But, she no longer feels " toxic " and is

tickled to be off some of the bad meds. She has another appt on

next Tuesday with the Naturapath and another allergy treatment which

seems to consist of stimulating certain points that release toxins.

I will know more about it shortly as I am going to see the doctor

also to see if she can help me feel better. Updates in the near

future.

Best of luck to all. And if you're not happy with your current

regimen, can't hurt to try a new one. You can always go back if it

doesn't work.
