No surprise here. I have great disdain for nearly all rheumatologists as I believe that this is the only specialty in medicine that has absolutely no reason to exist. They only prescribe symptomatic therapies that in no way, shape or form treat the cause of disease, and most of the drugs they recommend wind up devastating the health of those with RA.

Fortunately, there are effective alternatives. I have treated over 3,000 patients with RA, and the vast majority of them seem to do better with simple nutrition-based solutions. It is very rare where I actually need to prescribe drugs for a patient.

There are four basic steps that will help most people with RA. They are:

• Following the Total Health Program--this is profoundly helpful for normalizing the immune system.
• Regularly consuming omega-3 fats found in fish oil and cod liver oil--a quality source of fish oil is remarkably beneficial to health.
• Trying NST--NST is a structural realignment technique that seems to be exceptionally useful for putting the disease in remission.
• Using EFT--this technique has resulted in profound improvements in patients with RA, as most people seem to have some sort of precipitating emotional trauma, which weakens their immune system, allowing the infection to get in.

If you know someone with RA please have him or her review my comprehensive program for treating RA for much more detailed information. You can also review my article on helpful tools to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
