[QUOTE="Luna21, post: 355309"] Very interesting, but there are lots of ideas about what might be the trigger for autoimmune arthritis; from terrible sleep patterns to streptococcus infections, which in my case I might agree with, to illness, being generally run down,depression and bereavement. However, none of this is proven as yet, and yes, certainly, some arthritis sufferers do find that a healthy diet does help their symptoms, but there is no cure for arthritis, and in fact, for anyone to cease medication for diet alone, would put them at great risk of amongst other things, bone deformity. I know that's not what you are advocating of course. It's true that some sufferers find they are better without or with certain things in their diet, but even diet supplements from health shops can be dangerous to some on specific medication, so no-one should change their medication or add 'natural remedies' to it before getting advice from their doctor. It's an easy option to say, eat this or that, and all will be well, but I'm afraid that it remains to be proven. We all hope there will be a treatment or drug one day to cure inflammatory arthritis, as we hope there will be one for diabetes too, but until then it then we just have to look after ourselves as best we can.
