Do you know any kids with Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis? Do you know anybody who outgrew it?

   A friends daughter has it so bad that it affected her eyes as well – uveitis. She is now 17 and seems fine but has a lot of hospital stays.

   There is a boy in my daughters class and he had one bout of it at 5 years of age and has been fine since. He is now 12 years.

   The girl mentioned above has a poor diet – coke, chips for snacks; fatty meats and lots of cakes and slices and junk food.

   The boy has always had a good diet – fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds and oily fish and lean meats. Little junk food. Although his family didn’t actually follow an anti-inflammatory diet; they just naturally ate well, I believe this assisted in him staying healthy.
