Re: drug free RA healing approach ONLY!

September 10, 2008

Hi,

I'm trying it but not the extreme that you are. I became a vegetarian and am

trying to detox but still on Plaquenil and pain meds.

Can you let me know what you are trying specifically? I went to a

nutrionalist that

figured out all my food allergies but I couldn't continue his program due to

the cost

and the supplements he wanted me on where far outside my budget. I do

believe

in what he does and can send you his website info. He has some studys that

he

has done with RA patients. He can meet with you remotely or at his office in

NM.

Margearet,

Hi. I'm trying an Elimination Diet to find out which foods are affecting me,

but I'm not off to a very good start yet. I know that the worst one so far is

CHOCOLATE. My husband and I got into a major fight last night about me smoking

and not working and I felt so bad I stayed up all night eating Chocolate

Frosting out of a can! (Haven't been food shopping in a couple weeks and I

couldn't find any other snacks.) Needless to say, I can't even move today, I am

in so much pain - my feet, my ankles, my fingers and wrists - and my HIPS!!! Oh

my gosh I can't even walk up the steps!! My hips have never hurt this bad. And

my wrists - it actually feels like my blood vessels hurt in them! And I have

such a horrible headache! It feels like I have a hangover! I know I have to

just quit buying the chocolate, I'm too addicted to it! I'm going to try taking

a couple fish oil capsules and see if they work. Well, I'm paying for my sins

today, because my daughter called at 7:30 am to say she was bringing 2 year-old

granddaughter over for me to watch today. I was under the impression she didn't

need me to babysit this week. I didn't sleep all night - I was on the computer

reading about RA again all night. I was just about ready to lay down when she

called. I'm hoping I only have her till about 3 pm so that I can lay down a bit

before my husband gets home and starts yelling about the shape the house is in.

If you can offer any information that you learned from this doctor, like what

kind of supplements he wanted you to take, we'd appreciate it. I know everyone

is different, but it would be good to at least read up on them. I am trying to

share what I know with the group.

Thanks,

I am sorry to hear your hurting so bad. I have read there are SO

many meds that are bad or us. Most, I like:( I have a two year old

granddaughter, so I know what your going through today. I hope you

take a nap toady, and get some much needed rest, you deserve it

girl. Babysitting a two year old, is very hard work, they are so

beautiful though. Take care, Tawny

Pam,

When you say " rigid diet control " , what does that mean?

[ ] drug free RA healing approach ONLY!

Hi! I am trying to heal from this horror by fasting, cleansing,

detoxing and rigid diet control...was diagnosed last Feb. and refuse

Methotrexate etc. Have some relly bad days, but wish to persevere...is

there ANYONE out there who is trying to do what I am doing ???

Please, get in touch with me! Pam

Margaret,

I read on the internet that you can have an intolerance to a food and not be

allergic to it. The intolerance will have milder symptoms than an actual

allergy, but it still plays havoc in the body.

linda it's probably the sugar and the hydrogenated oil bothering you

more than the chocolate. i use raw coconut butter and mix it with raw

cocoa powder and some honey or agave nectar and it makes a nice fudge

that doesn't hurt my joints.

I just got a book, that has a lot of home remedies. What not to eat,

and some of it's very interesting. I'm glad your trying to find out

what's best for you. You are right, if would eat better, I think it

would help so much. The problem is, giving up the food for me.

It would be great to get paid to be on the PC. I'm sorry, it has to

be RA, and not something more fun. I understand how you feel, and I

hope things get a little easier for you. If I find something

interesting in my book, I'll let you know. Good luck, Tawny

> Tawny,

> Boy, you got that right! I've been reading web site after web

site. There are so many different ways that food can affect us. I

know I'm just scratching the surface. But I'm going to give it a try

anyhow. I've always been intrested in this kind of stuff anyhow, I

probably should have gotten into medicine, but my life just didn't

work out that way. Well, this will give me my chance to do all the

medical research I ever wanted to do and then some. Too bad I can't

get paid for it! My husband would love that. I've been studying this

stuff almost constantly for the last couple months. My husband and

kids are sick of seeing me on the computer - all day and all night.

Well, it could be worse, I could be out drinking or something, right?

Not really. I don't have a car or the money or the ability to walk

anywhere, so I'm stuck here anyhow. Might as well do what I enjoy,

everyone else is... or did... all those years I took care of the kids

while my husband went out - I thought I'd have a little " vacation "

when I got laid off last year - yea right!! No money, no car, and a

new pasttime - RA... what more can I ask for?

I do something similar to . I get this wonderful organic,

unsweetened cocoa powder from Frontier. I put a spoon or 2 in a cup,

add just a couple drops of water and a spoon or 2 of maple syrup or

agave. Mix patiently, and it turns into a nice, satisfyingly thick

texture. This really satisfies my " need " for chocolate, doesn't hurt my

joints and keeps me from going nuts and heading for a Hershey bar!

Sometimes I mix in a little all natural, all-fruit (no sugar) cherry

jam. Yummy!
