A member asked:
Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. is it true that you can change your diet and cure?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
NO: There is no cure for ra. Anyone who says differently is just trying to sell you something. I do not discourage my patients from trying diet changes or supplements, but i would never use the word "cure" in the same sentence.

Absolutely not: Controlled studies have failed to show any major benefit from dietary manipulations. Delaying more appropriate treatment will only increase your risk for significant joint damage and deformity.
