I am looking for alternative treatments for Reumatoid Arthritis?
I wаѕ diagnosed wіth RA 6yrs ago, I аm currently taking Methotrexate аnd Humira. Thеу аrе maintaining a low level οf comfort, bυt іt’s better thаn nothing, I аm јυѕt curious whаt ѕοmе οthеr people аrе trying. Iѕ anyone using a herbal remedy thаt іѕ working, a сеrtаіn diet thаt іѕ helping thеm. Mу current treatments work, bυt іt wουld’nt hυrt tο hаνе ѕοmе more options.
I just had a customer who was told that they have reumatoid arthritis and was asked if they are in much pain, as they were expected to have some. They customer has been taking a few all-natural products from Shaklee. The Pain Relief Complex and Joint health complex that she was taking has proven themselves as she is not having any pain from the arthritis as the dr. was telling her that she should.
Why not try some. Shaklee products come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so if you try it and do not feel any results, they will refund your money.

There are a lot of natural compounds that help with the pain of Arthritis! Check out the site below for a list of these naturals!

I recommend reflexology and massage
Also, not being so stressed out. My arthritis flares up when I’m stresses out.
I have a very healthy diet. I also have tons of auto immune disorder – alopecia, rhumitoid arthristis, Hashimoto’s disease.
Everything is okay when I am not hyper or stressed.
I remember reading somewhere that “Pineapple” helps reduce inflammation, and therefore helps treat Arthritis.
There are a LOT of ingredients that help with joint health. A few of the most popular that our customers order are Hyaluronic Acid, Microlactin, Tart Cherry Extract, Sam-E, Litozin (Danish Rose Hips), Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Boswellia, and some of the Essential Fatty Acids (especially Omega 6 fatty acids).
Unfortunately, different people respond differently to different supplements, so it’s impossible to say which will work best for you unless you talk to a doctor that knows about supplements. The order that I listed the ingredients above it typically the order that people buy the products in (popularity) and the speed that they typically get into the system.
There are also some enzymes and other things that may indirectly help with joints (like Bromelain from Pineapples for inflamation, or antioxidants like Turmeric)… but the items I listed are primarily for joint nutrition directly.
I’m 35, female, have had AS and RA since about 10 yrs. old. I have been on methotrexate, and lots of other things through the years that I can’t even remember. I am doing really super, right now, and am on NOTHING prescription. 2 years ago I had a total hip joint replacement and have occassional achiness, nothing to comoplain about. I started out seeing a naturopathic dr. years ago and she got me on track with supplements. Now I see an accupuncturist and have an occassional massage. However, the best thing by far that I have done is yoga. I love it. It makes me feel strong and limber and gives me energy. I feel better now than I did as a child. I’ve been doing it for 4 years, both at class and on my own. I attend a class that is for Level 1, beginning, and have a really good insntructor that takes her time in teaching you modifications for if you have neck, back, knee problems. It can be done in a very gentle way and is very adaptable for if you have a disability. I would recommend starting out with a class if you are interested. On your own would be hard, to start with. I do supplements, most all are ones commonly known to help with arthritis. Glucosamine, condroitin, fish oil, cal, mag, potass,vit. e, b complex.. Also, I try to steer clear of sugar. That’s a big help for me, but we are all different. Most of all, I just live by the motto: move it or lose it. Also a note on methotrexate. My aunt who is 68 has been on it for almost 20 years. She has severe lung problems associated with it. Reoccurring pnemonia, bronchitis, cough that never goes away. Over all it has probably not helped prevent any of her disfigurement. Her hands and feet are horribly crippled. It has helped with the pain, of course, but she wishes that she had been doing more of what I am doing when she was younger. She feels it is too late now.
Homeopathic Remedies
Homeopathic remedies are useful in relieving the pain and stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis. A constitutional remedy is often the best approach for dealing with chronic conditions.
Arnica: Useful for chronic arthritis with a feeling of bruising and soreness. The painful parts feel worse from being moved or touched.
Aurum metallicum: This remedy is often prescribed for wandering pains in the muscles and joints that are better from motion and warmth, and worse at night. The person may experience deep pain in the limbs when trying to sleep. Also may feel discomfort that may wake the person up. People who need this remedy are often serious and focused on work or career, with a tendency to feel depressed.
Bryonia: Helpful for stiffness and inflammation with tearing or throbbing pain, made worse by motion. The condition may have developed gradually, and is worse in cold dry weather. Discomfort is aggravated by being touched or bumped, or from any movement. Relief can be had from pressure and from rest. The person may want to stay completely still and not be interfered with.
Calcarea carbonica: Helpful for deeply aching arthritis involving node formation around the joints. Inflammation and soreness are worse from cold and dampness, and problems may be focused on the knees and hands. Common symptoms are: weakness in the muscles, easy fatigue from exertion, and a feeling of chilliness or sluggishness. The person who benefits from Calcarea is often solid and responsible, but tends to become extremely anxious and overwhelmed when ill or overworked.
Causticum: Useful when deformities develop in the joints, in a person with a tendency toward tendon problems, muscle weakness, and contractures. The hands and fingers may be most affected, although other joints can also be involved. Stiffness and pain are worse from being cold, and relief may come with warmth. The person often feels best in rainy weather and worse when the days are clear and dry.
Calcarea fluorica: Helpful when arthritic pains improve with heat and motion. Joints become enlarged and hard, and nodes or deformities develop. Arthritis after chronic injury to joints also responds to Calcarea fluorica.
Dulcamara: Indicated if arthritis flares up during cold damp weather. The person gets chilled and wet. They are often stout, with a tendency toward back pain, chronic stiffness in the muscles, and allergies.
Kali bichromicum: This is useful when arthritic pains alternate with asthma or stomach symptoms. Pains may suddenly come and go, or shift around. Discomfort and inflammation are aggravated by heat, and worse when the weather is warm.
Kali carbonicum: Arthritis with great stiffness and stitching pains, worse in the early morning hours and worse from cold and dampness, may respond to Kali carbonicum. The joints may be becoming thickened or deformed. People who can benefit from this remedy often have a rigid moral code, and tend to feel anxiety in the stomach.
Kalmia latiflora: Useful for intense arthritic pain that flares up suddenly. The problems start in higher joints and extend to lower ones. Pain and inflammation may begin in the elbows, spreading downward to the wrists and hands. Discomfort is worse from motion and often worse at night.
Ledum palustre: Arthritis that starts in lower joints and extends to higher ones are candidate for this remedy. Pain and inflammation often begin in the toes and spread upward to the ankles and knees. The joints may also make cracking sounds. Ledum is strongly indicated when swelling is significant and relieved by cold applications.
Pulsatilla: Applicable when rheumatoid arthritis pain is changeable in quality, or when the flare-ups move from place to place. The symptoms (and the person) feel worse from warmth, and better from fresh air and cold applications. Can benefit people who are emotional and affectionate, sometimes having teary moods.
Rhododendron: Strongly indicated if swelling and soreness flare up before a storm, continuing until the weather clears. Cold and dampness aggravate the symptoms. Discomfort is often worse toward early morning, or after staying still too long.
Rhus toxicodendron: Useful for rheumatoid arthritis, with pain and stiffness that is worse in the morning and worse on first motion, but better from continued movement. Hot baths or showers, and warm applications improve the stiffness and relieve the pain. The condition is worse in cold, wet weather. The person may feel extremely restless, unable to find a comfortable position, and need to keep moving constantly. Continued motion also helps to relieve anxiety.
Ruta graveolens: Arthritis with a feeling of great stiffness and lameness, worse from cold and damp and worse from exertion, may be helped by ruta graveolens. Tendons and capsules of the joints can be deeply affected or damaged. The arthritis may have developed after overuse, from repeated wear and tear.
Select the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms. In conditions where self-treatment is appropriate, unless otherwise directed by a physician, a lower potency (6X, 6C, 12X, 12C, 30X, or 30C) should be used. In addition, instructions for use are usually printed on the label.
RA is autoimmune which means that your body is attacking itself. There are a few things you can do to help stop the immune reaction. #1 work on Leaky Gut Syndrome which is prominent in most autoimmune cases. #2-check out Ambrotose from Mannatech. It actually provides the nutrients to help your body rebuild the receptor sights on the outside of your cells so that your body recognizes itself and stops attacking itself.
