Rheumatoid arth: Never suspect you have something and then treat it on your own. Even Drs. should not treat themselves. Discuss with your medical team. Avoid supplements as they can and do put anything they want into them including arsenic, Mercury. licorice, opiods, viagra to mention a few.

Rheumatoid Arthritis: People with rheumatoid arthritis have a lot of unresolved inflammation in their body. There are strategies for decreasing this inflammation that involve mainly dietary changes and supplements. I recommend reading "The Resolution Zone" by my friend Barry Sears of Zone Diet fame. He outlines a program for eliminating any excess inflammation in your body from any cause.
