   somethings that maybe helpful are omega fatty acid, Hylaronic acid, magnesium and potassium, Vitamin C, D3 turmeric and yucca.
   sometimes green peppers and onions will help arthritis,
   sometimes it seems to make it worse.

   Herbal remedies :
   Turmeric Extract, Curcumin, Cat’s claw, Ginger
   Boswellia, and Cayenne Pepper – Topically for pain control only.

   P.S.

   Supplement recommendations for RA-

   Fish oil: Take 1,000 mg, 3/ day. In addition, increase your consumption of fish,

   Boron: 2 mg.

   Evening primrose oil: 1,000 mg, 3/day.

   Selenium: 100 mcg /day.

   Vitamin C: 2,000 mg/day.

   Vitamin E: 400 IU/day.

   If you take NSAIDs for pain relief:
   Take vitamin B~: 100 mg,
   vitamin B~2, 1,000 mcg, in tablets dissolved under the tongue. (These supplements may allow you to reduce your drug dose.)

   Copper salicylate: 2 mg a day with meals, zinc: 50 mg, 2 /day with meals. Discontinue after six weeks if no improvement.

   Ginger (powdered form is available at health food stores): 500 mg, 3/day.

   IN ADDITION: Acupuncture can be extremely helpful. Find a qualified practitioner and begin with two or three sessions per week.

   Sea cucumber is another remedy that seems very promising, although the clinical trials are preliminary. No one seems to know precisely why sea cucumber works. Sea cucumbers are actually animals that live on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The substance they produce is available at health food stores in pill form. Some patients have had dramatic results taking these pills, and I think it’s worth a try. Take one 500-mg capsule twice a day.

   The book titled, “The Arthritis Cure: Revised Edition” by Jason Theodosakis MD has a lot of information regarding various natural approaches, such as supplementation and food allergy elimination, for treating arthritis. You also probably can get additional information on-line at http://www.usaallergies.com.
