Rheumatoid Arthritis Diet - At No Cost
The rheumatoid arthritis diet outlined here may not be one you have heard of before, but before we go there, let me explain a bit about it.
Many Asian people don't consume dairy as part of their diet. And they rarely suffer from any form of arthritis.
The west has many strange dietary customs, many based on misinformation. Dairy is one of them.
Dairy is a wonderful food - for baby cows. It's rich in calcium and all the other essential nutrients for a growing baby cow. But only a baby cow can properly absorb and utilise it.
Once you are weaned, you can no longer digest milk properly, as your digestive enzymes alter to cope with more complicated foods.
A different species has very different growing requirements. Cows grow to full maturity in about a year, whereas it takes a human about 17 years. This means the nutrients in cows milk are in the wrong proportion for human needs.
Couple the inappropriate nature of dairy for human health and the lack of arthritis in the Asian countries where dairy is not consumed, and it seems a reasonable connection to make.
Other factors may also be present, but are they?
Many Rheumatoid Arthritis sufferers have simply taken dairy out of their diet and completely resolved all their symptoms. To the point where they have not only stopped all their medication, but also resumed a full and active life.
Would you like that?
Using this rheumatoid arthritis diet you might wonder where you would get your calcium from, without dairy.
The same place you have always got it, bearing in mind your body couldn't use the calcium in the dairy you were consuming.
And that's in green leafy vegetables (such as spinach, silver beet, broccoli, brussel sprouts), nuts, seeds and blue green algae.
You might be wondering how to manage without dairy in your diet. There are many good alternatives, but also some bad ones.
Avoid soy as a milk substitute as that has different problems. Oat or almond milk are great substitutes and some like rice milk.
Margarine is not a healthy alternative to butter. Try coconut oil or olive oil.
If you're a cheese or yoghurt fan, perhaps you can just abstain from them for a trial month. It is possible, that when you are completely free of symptoms, you might be able to indulge in the occasional piece of cheese without suffering.
This rheumatoid arthritis diet may just be the one to heal all your symptoms. But it may take a month before you start to see results, and possibly another month to be rid of all the symptoms, so don't expect overnight results.
ER treated my wife like a junkie! Can anything be done?
My wife had been diagnosed with bronchial pneumonia earlier in the day by her primary care physician. She received several nebulizer treatments and was given a script for antibiotics and an inhaler. She was also given scripts for a mood stabilizer she takes and a painkiller for another condition that she is currently awaiting treatment for (rheumatoid arthritis). However, because the pain had been very bad she had taken more of the painkiller than had been prescribed. As a result, she ran out a week and a half early. We were informed of this at the pharmacy and were fine with this. However, there was an error with the pharmacy and we could not pick up any of the medications. During this time, my wife was in enormous pain. She could barely stand from the pain in her back. She had not eaten in four days due to vomiting from the coughing, could not drink more than little sips, and any painkillers she did take tore up her stomach and came right back up.
En route to another pharmacy, she begged me to take her to the pharmacy. We explained all of the above to the nurse at the front desk. When we were brought back to triage, the nurse asked a number of questions about the pain killer that had run out early. It really was a side issue and we were confused why we were being asked about this. Before we knew it, we were shuffled back to an exam room and told to wait for the doctor. NO VITALS WERE TAKEN DURING THIS TIME. She was not asked to change into a gown.
During all of this time, my wife was in a lot of pain. She was crying loudly due to it, sweating profusely, coughing and vomiting constantly.
When the PA arrived, she immediately told my wife to be quiet because there was another patient in the room next door. This was a lie, as there was a hallway next door between our room and the next. I asked her if it would be possible to move rooms if we were disturbing the person next door. She scoffed at this, told me that the hospital was full of sick people who needed treatment. I informed her that I knew this, and that my wife was one of them.
She then began to lecture us about having our son there to see his mother that way. We are very new to our area and do not have childcare after 4:30, but I did not wish for my wife to be alone and my son is very mature for his age.
She then asked about the painkiller mentioned above (Oxycontin). Before we could explain that the Oxycontin was not a factor here (she had run out a week and a half ago and showed no withdrawal signs, had only been on it for two weeks), she began lecturing us on the effects of Oxy withdrawal. It occurred to me that this woman had already made up her mind without so much as talking to the patient! She also informed me that she had already spoken to the pharmacy and that she knew we had attempted and failed to fill the Oxy script (I hadn't even looked at the date, just told the pharmacist I was fine with coming back in a week to pick it up)
She then said "So you want us to treat her, even though you already saw a doctor earlier and have scripts for antibiotics." I responded "Yes."
"Well, what exactly do you want us to do?"
"Well, since she's in such pain and so weak due to the coughing and vomiting, maybe something to suppress the cough would help?"
"Yeah, I can do that."
Was this a PA or a drug dealer? Cripes.
We were then followed out of the hospital by a nurse, who watched my wife closely from the door while we walked to our car in the parking lot.
I contacted the supervisor and lodged a complaint, but I feel like something more should be done here. Does anyone know of similar cases? Does anyone have similar experience? Is there any legal action that could be taken?
THank you for taking the time to read this.
Thank you for writing back. I understand how a health care provider may see her running out of medicine early. But does that mean that no vitals need to be taken or examination performed before coming to conclusions? The PA was hostile until she listened to my wifes lungs, then her demeanor changed. Far from warm, but not antagonistic. She then prescribed a cough syrup with codeine in it.
