I always thought that the Paleo Diet was like the Raw Food Diet but with raw

meat. I'm learning something new every day. If the Paleo diet eliminates grains,

do you still eat bread-like foods at all? I've been reading where you can make

flour out of ground up beans. Do you do anything like that? Do you use dairy?

Cow's milk?

The second link you listed I have read before. It is VERY interesting. My

story is much like the 43 year-old woman as far as symptoms go. I also like the

part that says,

" By this time you might be asking yourself why your rheumatologist doesn't know

this stuff. A better question is why don't you know this stuff? You're the one

that has arthritis. "

Chapter 2 kinda tells you why our doctors don't treat us the way we wish they

would. I believe it. Recently my brother watched an old movie " Sister Kenny "

with lind . It was about an Australian bush-nurse that was the first

to develop and use " hot packs " (rags of wool dipped in boiling water and then

completely wrung out until dry) to treat the muscle spasms of polio victims

instead of the recommended splints and casts which left them paralyzed. At

first, the medical community was totally against her until they realized that

her treatments were working. They actually called her " an ignorant quack " . It's

interesting that actor Alan Alda of M.A.S.H. had polio and was a patient of her

treatment.

I'd be appreciative of any other info you'd be willing to share about your use

of the Paleo diet.

this link discusses the role of lectins in RA. this diet keeps me off

painkillers and cortisone.

this guy used an elimination diet to fffigure out his trigger foods and

now controls RA solely with diet:

none of the meds worked for him.
