No healing: Rather there are excellent treatments out there. She really whould see a rheumatologist for her arthritis (rheumatoid versus osteo) and an endocrinologist to get her diabetes under control. Diabetes can exacerbate arthritis. Gentle water aerobics are also a great way to help, plus she could make friends in the water class.
