3 | RA | constipation for the 1st 2 weeks; skin rashes; liver has to be monitored (coffee is important); most drugs are poisonous; especially blood pressure | Arava works fairly well as far as drugs go but I also needed anti-inflammatory NSAIDS.

3 | RA | High blood pressure, night sweats, rashes and spontaneous bleeding of the feet on occasion; Note: if you send me a question leave me your e-mail address or I cannot respond. | Arava works fairly well as far as drugs go but I also needed anti-inflammatory NSAIDS. However all drugs wear off and are eventually rejected by the body as poison. I have discovered from internet sources that natural cures work better; such as honey and vinegar and vitamin B 100 complex (with niacinamide); see for instance Dr Saul's website doctoryourself.com or his book Fire Your Doctor, excellent advice. Everything can be cured, 'just say no to drugs'. (Nancy Reagan) | M | 55 | 15 months 20 mg 1X D | 2/3/2011 | |
2 | RA | I got off all drugs and apple cider vinegar worked for 3 years. After a flare up nothing worked for long and I had to change my diet; no white rice or bread. I find the best treatment is physical therapy with cold and hot water bathing and some rub on creams with arthritic gloves for the night. It takes time as you have to teach the body not to attack itself when sleeping (the autoimmune). | M | 59 | 30 days 20 mg 1X D | 11/16/2014 |
