I understand people being skeptical , I really do. There is no way I could have believed this would work. the pain I experienced for so long… from the age of ten, really didn’t feel like it had anything to do with what I was putting in my mouth. what I have learned about diet and my body however is that seemingly healthy foods dont necessarily have a healthy result for everyone. For example Kelly, the foods that you list as being possibly good for RA, including tomatoes and onions and cocoa …these are all things I personally am supposed to avoid.
The beauty about metabolic typing is that it doesn’t treat everyone THE SAME. it is based on your own body’s response to different foods. And because of that it wont give everyone the same list of foods I was given. (although I would be curious to know how it worked out percentage wise!!)
I also hear what you are saying about some RA cases spontaneously remitting… but mine is not in remission, I have come to realise. If I want to experience PAIN again all I have to do is eat the foods on my “avoid” list in any quantity for a few days and bingo…. PAIN. so , I guess I am not cured, I have it under control by maintaining the diet by and large. I can get away with some stuff “off the plan” these days, I think because my body is getting stronger.
I also take some enzymes which help keep my blood clean, and if I take those I seem to have a lot more dietary freedom. I heard about those initially from another RA forum and do recommend them also….yeah u will have to pay good money for those but after the first month or so you can cut back the ammount to a maintenance dose and I only take a few when i have pain now, i pretty much dont worry about a maintenance dose because I’m forgetful unless it hurts lol. i did the diet religiously for a few months though, long enough to see the effects before mediating with the enzymes. my body is a better laboratory than a lab lol. I can feel the changes, I dont need to measure them with tests!
I have a pretty normal life now… including coffee and lots of great Australian red wine. so it’s not like I’m suffering through a boring life for the sake of my health. but Im pretty sure I would be if I hadn’t changed my diet!

ps. for anyone who is curious the enzymes are called neprinol , they are supposed to keep the blood clear of excess clotting factors which help cause inflammation. as we all know…inflammation means pain. take away the inflammation and it seems to rid the pain too. I dont know how it works I am just observing that it helped me.
for anyone who does try them I would really be interested to hear how you go so please post up any results. I cant say enough good things about them without sounding like i’m on the payroll LOL, but anyone who googles it can make up their own mind if they are worth trying.
Well thats enough raving from me… I hope this has given at least one person some hope , if nothing else. Vibrant health is our birthright !
