Millions of Americans suffer with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but there is hope. People have a misconception that autoimmune disorders, such as RA, come on suddenly, but it’s actually a deterioration that happens over time and has progressed to an autoimmune state. The good news is that you can reverse the symptoms.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about what RA is, the importance of stopping the deterioration, foods that help (and ones that hurt), and how acupuncture aids a number of bodily functions that can improve or reverse RA.
What’s in this episode:
- What an autoimmune disorder is
- How our diets and lifestyle perpetuate deterioration in RA, and why it’s important to stop the deterioration
- Foods that help rebuild joints and combat RA symptoms
- Testing pro-inflammatory foods to see if they trigger symptoms
- How genetics and lifestyle affect the passing down of autoimmune diseases
- How acupuncture helps RA without the side effects of medication
- An example of an extremely bad case of RA, and how acupuncture and nutrition completely resolved it
