I had RA in '94 and I learned from a very famous chiropractor and naturopath about cetylmyristoleate ( CMO was the main thing that helped me. You can do a search on CMO ) My RA was so painful that I could hardly walk and the sheets hurt when they touched my knees at night I had to sleep with them sticking off the edge of the bed, uncovered. I will tell you that there are very successful clinics in Mexico and in Switzerland that cure RA.
You will want to look into the research of Dr Diehl who worked for the National Institute of Health. He is the one who discovered CMO in 1977 and what it can do for arthritis. He is gone now but you will find his story on the net. He never made products or promoted products. He was just a research type person. You will want to read his work.
Believe me. Get smart fast. You do not have to live with RA. When my orthopedic doc told me I should see an RA doc I ran in the other direction and I never took any of those stupid drugs. Every couple of years I feel it starting to creep into my knees again. I just take the same supplements and its gone in less than a week and I'm fine for years more. When they did some product changes I stock piled the type of CMO that worked for me. You can't get the product I used anymore but there are other products out there with CMO in them that may be as good.
RA may also require diet revisions. You will have to stop eating the SAD diet (Standard American Diet) and decrease wheat products, increase veggies and low sugar fruits like berries, pomegranet. Lots of fresh foods every day, every meal.
