RA is also an autoimmune disease. Yes, I agree that diet can reduce inflammation in the body. What it can't do is surpress the hyper active immune system. Sounds like you are aware of what a SED rate is, my first blood draw results showed a SED of 255. Normal is 0-20 for my age. The rheumatologist said my case is mild, I can't even imagine having a severe case. The methotrexate is working bringing SED down under 20, only have a little stiffness first thing in the morning and it subsides with activity. I still have to be careful though, it doesn't take much to produce a flair up. Mopped the house floors the other day and my left wrist blew up, usually takes 24-48 hours for a flair up to subside.Cannonpointer » 02 Sep 2023, 2:43 pm » wrote: ↑ In the unlikely event you have not heard of of Qunol, let me be the first to recommend it.

RA is an inflammatory disease and inflammatory diseases are always related to diet. I recommend elimination tests. Read Dead Doctors Don't Lie, and stop permitting liars and thieves and con-men to pretend stewardship of your wellbeing. They are there only to feed, not to give succor. Especially the ones you trust.
Investigate water fasting. I just came off a nine day water fast on thursday and my numbers are through the floor. I would be willing to bet that at the end of a 3 day water fast, your RA would be nonexistent.
It only takes three days and a pair to prove me wrong...
Of course I eat all the wrong foods, red meat, sugar, processed foods and carbs, that tend to make people gain weight. I'm carrying a few extra pounds, 5'11"/200. It may help reducing those foods to drop another 10 pounds. My biggest hurdle is smoking
. That mind **** is a work in progress!I'll look into the water fasting, the hydro flask goes everywhere with me and consume 3/4-1 gallon a day.
