I'm not sure where you are from, but here in Canada they have an all natural medicine called "Lakota."  It has been a best-seller for years and years here. I tried Glucosamine but it did nothing for myself, personally.  Within 2 days of going on Lakota "Rheumatoid Formula" I was virtually pain-free, it was unbelievable. I stopped taking it the past few weeks to see if it really was the Lakota that was making a difference, and the pain has returned so I am going back out to purchase some more at the local drugstore.  If you are a non-Canadian resident, I would still ask your local Pharmacist and check out their website.  I know how terrible it is to have an auto-immune disease, especially on a bad flare-up day, and I wish you nothing but the best of luck and best of health.

It's Glucosamine.  If you're thinking of taking it, look into the kind with Condroitin and MSM.  You might want to ask your doc.  Mine said it's okay to take, whether/or how much it helps is individual, but I feel better after six months.

Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants in the body.  It is also a critical molecule used to detoxify many toxins/poisons.  It also plays a central role in 'recycling' vitamins C and E.\n\nParkinson's disease is recognized as being related to both excessive oxidation and chemical/environmental toxicities.  Glutathione can help with moderating both issues.\n\nGlutathione will be most effective if given intravenously.  It is also available in oral supplemental form.  NAC (N-acetylcysteine) is a precursor for glutathione's synthesis in the body and supplementation of NAC has been shown to increase Glutathione levels.\n\nIf the diagnosis of Parkinson's has already been made, you definitely want to get regular intravenous injections of glutathione (along with lots of other critical nutrients).\n\nPlease note: once Parkinson's has been diagnosed, a large percentage of brain cells in the substantia nigra part of the brain have been destroyed.  No treatment (yet) can reverse this.  So, treatment such as glutathione and other antioxidants and detoxification nutrients may only help to slow the progression of the condition (although I have heard of cases where there is some immediate improvement in symptoms after an IV).\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

Cinnamon has incredible properties for diabetics. It is recommended that they consume 1/2 tsp/day. I do not know about the diabeticinn but I do have 2 diabetics in my household. They are both taking Himilayan Goji Juice which fights all auto-immune disorders. One of them had black feet and sores all over his legs. Since drinking this all natural juice, he now has pink feet again, the sores are clearing up and his blood sugar levels are balancing out. The other diabetic was having problems with fainting and dizziness. She too has balanced blood sugar levels now and has no more problems. I highly recommend this juice for all diabetics.

Hi Djinn\n\nHere are a few ideas to help the healing process.\n\nCause: \nArthritis is caused by acids and waste matter in the body, which eventually become solidified and lock the joint. This condition is caused and aggravated by improper diet. Some of the worst intakes are eggs, bread, milk, meat, salt, sugar, etc., because they cause arthritic calcification. The use of extremely hard water (generally of twelve or more grains in hardness) will often accentuate an arthritic condition where softer water will help relieve it. Sometimes an individual with a good inherent structure can throw off the hardest water without arthritic effect. The weaker person may drink water that is not very hard and absorb from it relatively larger quantities of the inorganic minerals. \n\n\nQuick Action Plan for Rheumatoid Arthritis\n\n1. Acupuncture treatment helps to reduce the body's aggressive defenses that inadvertently attack its own joint tissue. \n\n2. Massage affected joints with rosemary, benzoin, chamomile, camphor, juniper, or lavender. \n\n3. Diet plays an integral part in reducing or preventing the onset of all types of arthritic conditions. A diet rich in an abundant selection of fresh vegetables, and a wide variety of sweet and non-sweet fruits, soaked nuts and seeds, and whole grains is recommended. \n\n4. Tomatoes, cayenne, black and long pepper should be avoided by person's with rheumatoid arthritis. Minimize protein intake, choose small quantities of fish, legumes, eggs, soaked nuts and seeds. Eliminate beef, chicken, shellfish, and pork completely. Eat no hydrogenated fats, processed sugars, dairy products, alcohol, coffee, or black tea. \n\n5. Use the following powerful aids to speed and assist healing: Goji, Acai and Noni juice, bee pollen, royal jelly, and evening primrose oil are recommended, as is Shark cartilage, Wobenzyme, DMSO, MSM Manganese Cetyl myristoleate with lipase, and vitamin C.\n\n6. Test for food and environmental allergies and avoid all foods and substances to which you are allergic. \n\n7. Cleansing and Detoxification including colon and bowel cleansing therapies, fasting, kidney and gallbladder flushes, physical medicine, and homeopathic remedies. \nIsometric exercises, stretching, and yoga can help ease arthritis pain. \n\n8. Constitutional hydrotherapy (apply two to five times weekly) or heating compress (apply once daily to affected areas). \n\n9 Drink the juice of half a lemon before every meal and before going to bed. \n\nBest of health to your family.\n\nCheers

(m)\n\nMedication will help reduce pain and inflammation. Although medication can not "cure" your arthritis, it can help you lead an active life again. \nThese are some of the treatments you can try. Your doctor can advise you. You may need to experiment to see which suits you best. \n\nsimple painkillers, eg. paracetamol \nanti-inflammatory drugs eg. ibuprofen (Brufen or Nurofen) \ncreams and gels, useful for small joints like finger joints \nmassage \nwarmth \naromotherapy \nacupuncture \nwax baths \nsteroid injections \njoint replacement operations \nSome people need to have regular treatment. Others only need to have treatment during a flare up of arthritis. \n\nIf your joints are very painful and inflamed, you will need to rest. Medication will help reduce any pain and swelling. Paracetamol is helpful, and is safe for most people to take. However, if you suffer from other medical conditions, or if you take other medication, it is a good idea to ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.\nWarming your joints with a warm flannel, hot water bottle, or a warm shower can help with morning stiffness and improve mobility.\n\nAs soon as you can, you need to become mobile and active. Sitting or resting for long periods will make your joints stiff and your muscles weak. Gentle walks and stretching excercises can help. Swimming is an excellent sport, and can help you keep mobile without putting a stress on your joints.\n\nIf you are overweight, you should try very hard to lose weight. \n\nThere is no evidence that special diets are helpful, and you should have a healthy diet which includes fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and dairy products. Some people find taking cod liver oil helpful.\n\nYou may find getting out of a low seat is difficult, and many modern seats are too low and soft. You should choose a comfortably padded, upright chair, with a firm back and arm rests.\nIf you have arthritis of the knees, hips or ankles, wearing cushioned shoes can help. Look for good quality "trainers", or shoes with thick rubber soles. Choose shoes with a good grip, so that you feel secure while walking. If your walking is badly impaired by knee or hip arthritis, a walking stick or walking frame may be very helpful. \n\nIf you have disabling arthritis, there are many gadgets which can make life easier. This equipment can be found in large pharmacies, specialist shops, or from catalogues. An occupational therapist may be able to advise you. \n\nlong handled shoe horns \nspecial tools for putting on socks or stockings \nspecial grips for your keys \nadapted cutlery and beakers \nraised toilet seat \nhand rails in the bathroom or toilet \na special seat in the bath

If you haven't had a clinical diagnosis, don't give up on the possibility that your pain might not be arthritis. My husband had a variety of symptoms, one of which was joint and bone pain. The doctors tested him for rhumatoid, but the results came back negative. It turned out that he had celiac disease. Celiac primarily impacts the digestive system, but advanced cases of the disease get all sorts of autoimmune problems and nutrient deficiencies - one of which is bone and joint pain. Once he quit getting gluten in his diet his pain completely went away. \n\nIf he gets a gluten infraction the pain will return. We had that last summer when they had cookouts at work pretty regularly for several weeks in a row. He was careful to select foods that were gluten free, but he kept getting a reaction each time. Since he could find no initial cause, he figured he just had a mild viral infection. By the end of two weeks he had terrible bone and joint pain. We finally discovered that Kingsford charcoal uses gluten as a binding agent in their bricketts. The cookouts were with Kingsford. Kingsford stated that the gluten would burn up completely and couldn't contaminate the food; however, my husband's body showed them to be wrong. He quite eating the grilled foods and his symptoms subsided in just a few days. We have come arcross several other celiacs since then who said they had the same problem with Kingsford.\n\nSo, if your doctor hasn't difinitively gotten test results that prove arthritis, do a bit of research to see what conditions have this pain as a symptom.\n\nGood luck.
