Arthritis Cause and Cure, Foods to Avoid for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Foods that Help with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Studies have shown that many of the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis may be linked to food allergies. A good way to determine if your rheumatoid arthritis is caused by food allergies, eliminate the above foods from your diet for two weeks. Then begin by adding one of the foods for one week. If you do not have increased rheumatoid arthritis symptoms, that food is probably OK for you. If you have an increase in pain, redness, swelling, and warmth in the joints, then the food you added is possibly the cause. You may well be allergic or sensitive to it.

At the beginning of the second week, add a second food for another week. Keep adding foods using this pattern.

If you find that you are allergic to any of the foods, the most effective treatment option until now has been complete avoidance of the offending allergen(s). This can be difficult at best, and impossible in some cases. But, there is an alternative. In keeping with our philosophy of drug free, natural alternatives, we would like to recommend the N.A.E.T. method.

Foods That Can Trigger Rheumatoid Arthritic Reactions:

Beef.
Corn.
Coffee.
Eggs.
Grapefruit.
Milk and dairy products.
Nightshade plants - tomatoes, potatoes, bell peppers, eggplant.
Oranges.
Oats.
Pork.
Rye.
Wheat.

Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique is a truly revolutionary system for dealing with allergies... one of the most stubborn health problems facing mankind today. It is a natural, drugless, painless and non-invasive method which can be used safely on individuals of any age (infants to the elderly) and regardless of the individuals health. Allergies can be eliminated through N.A.E.T., along with the symptoms arising from the allergens.

Allergens are cleared (treated) one at a time with this technique, and best results are obtained if allergens are cleared in a specific sequence. Normally only one item is treated on a given day. The substance must then be completely avoided for 25 hours following the treatment. In most cases, that's all it takes... one session to eliminate an allergy. Individuals who are highly sensitive may sometimes require additional combination clearings.

Intestinal health also is important for rheumatoid arthritis sufferers. Add essential fatty acids such as fish oil and evening primrose oil (one or two capsules three times a day with meals) and black currant oil (one capsule three times a day with meals). You also may want to add those tart little currants to your diet to aid normal intestinal permeability to allow essential vitamins and minerals to reach your bones and joints with their healing properties.

A high fiber diet also will improve intestinal permeability and help overcome rheumatoid arthritis. You can add fiber with psyllium, oat and rice bran, or ground flaxseeds. (Ground flaxseeds are my favorite. I mix 2T. ground flaxseeds with cranberry juice each morning.)

Thoroughly chew your food and mix it well with saliva. Don't wash food down with liquids.

You may need to take betaine HCL and pepsin along with pancreatic enzymes to improve your digestion. The best way to determine this is to see a nutritional doctor and have a complete digestive stool analysis performed.

Leaky gut syndrome: "Leaky gut" syndrome is frequently associated with RA. The gut, or gastro-intestinal tract, has multiple functions: it digests foods; absorbs small food particles to be converted into energy; carries nutrients like vitamins and minerals attached to carrier proteins across the gut lining into the bloodstream; contains a major part of the chemical detoxification system of the body; and contains immunoglobulins or antibodies that act as the first line of defense against infection. The official definition is an increase in permeability of the intestinal mucosa to luminal macromolecules, antigens and toxins associated with inflammatory degenerative and/or atrophic mucosal damage.

When the intestine isn't working properly, the capacity for the assimilation and absorption of food is decreased. And, the gut is less able to keep out harmful substances and what it doesn't need. If the intestinal lining is raw and inflamed, it causes large spaces to develop between the cells of the gut wall. are able to leak through the intestinal wall. The spaces open up and allow large food antigens, like proteins, bacteria, food, fungi, metals, toxic substances and other molecules that are not fully digested, to be absorbed into the body and straight into the blood stream. Once in the blood stream our immune system is the last line of defense to deal with these substances and it will eventually get overwhelmed if a leaky gut is not rectified.

Normally the body sees only tiny food antigens. When it sees these new, larger ones, they are foreign to the body's defense system. So the attack results in the production of antibodies against once harmless, innocuous foods. The body then targets them as foreign invaders. The immune system activates and created antibodies to fight the foreign matter. This immune response results in the development of a food allergy. Follow the above recommendations for intestinal health for leaky gut syndrome.
