Rheumatoid Arthritis and Homeopathy
Weather is known to have an effect on rheumatoid arthritis. It is quite known that arthritis patients show an increase in their symptoms during cold weather. Winters can be very bad for some of them. Even wet weather aggravates the condition for many patients. Some RA (rheumatoid arthritis) patient seems to be too sensitive about weather changes. So much so that they often come up saying that they know ? it,s going to rain? as their joints start to ache.
Homeopathy can be a great boon for all those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. As Homoeopathic prescription is based upon carefully analysis of the symptoms of the patients, it becomes a system of medicine that understands and treat the patients individualized disease characteristics deeply enough to ensure the complete elimination of the disease from the roots.
What is rheumatoid arthritis and how homoeopathy can help?
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disorder that affects the joints. The lining of the joints (synovium) gets inflamed and slowly gets destroyed. This causes the patients to suffer from pain, aches and stiffness in joints and eventually the joints to get deformed. The exact cause is uncertain but it is believed that it is an autoimmune disorder. This means that body’s own defense cells attack the joint lining and cause gross changes in them. Although it affect anybody at nearly all ages, this disorders is more common in women and is more common between the ages of 20-50. Diagnoses of arthritis is made on combination of factors; by assessing medical history, performing a physical examination, ordering specific laboratory tests, and x-rays
The Scope of homoeopathic treatment in rheumatoid arthritis is very favorable. But the patient needs to understand that the homeopathic system is aiming to clear out the disease from the body and not trying merely to suppress or give temporary relief .Thus it could take a while before one experiences relief. The time for its treatment is dependent on various factors-The chronicity of the disease (the duration since the disease has been in the body), genetic propensity and the extent of damage.
Although it is not very clear as how homeopathy works in rheumatoid arthritis, it is hypothesized that homoeopathic medicines regulate the immune system and deactivates the misdirected immune cells. They also help in reducing the inflammation in the joints too. Reversal of deformity with homoeopathy is still under debate and nothing conclusive can be said about it.
What kind of homoeopathic medicines are used in treating rheumatoid arthritis and how safe are they?
Homoeopathy works on the principle of ‘like cure like ‘ this in homoeopathic terms means that substances which in their raw states produce symptoms similar to the disease have the potential to stimulate the body’s own restorative process for a similar illness when given in an activated dilution.
Homoeopathic medicines that are used in treating rheumatoid arthritis are mainly from all plant, mineral kingdom. They are then highly diluted and succused (shaken in a specific way).These activated dilutions then stimulates our body’s own restorative systems to eradicate the disease. When rightly prescribed, they are extremely safe.
Is it possible that one can use homoeopathic medicines on their own?
Firstly one has to realize that rheumatoid arthritis is a complex chronic disorder and needs to be evaluated properly before any prescription is made. Secondly, homoeopathy is a very individualized system of medicine. For example the prescription for the arthritis patient that gets an increase of symptoms in cold weather will be totally different from the one who shows an increase during wet weather. That is why Homoeopathy is called as a symptom based system of medicine. Selecting the right homeopathic medicine also requires complete analysis of our body on various levels- mental physical and the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Thus one should completely avoid self medication.

Can homeopathic medicine help.
i was diagnosed as RA Seronegative early last year after withdrawing from dormanoct sleeping tablets{benzodiazapine 2mg}which i had been left on for 5years by a very foolish doctor.After fighting for my life for 2 years of extreme withdrawels,i no longer trusted doctors and consulted a homeopath in South africa to assist in the next fight to get RR into remission>i have been with him for 9 months and various stages of medicines but my finger and toe deformaties have deteriorated as well as joint and back stiifness.Are there ANY known remissions to RA recorder in homeopathy as my life is no longer worth living under the extreme stress i have experienced over tthe past 6yrs.The constant stress of addiction w=ithdrawal and homeopathic reactions of increased symptoms has left me desperate enough to revert back to RA drugs within the next two months.I cannot make any foolish decisions at this stage.As an artist I cannot hold a paintbrush anymore as the forefinger on my right hand is already twisted sideways towards the thumb.Deseprate for an answer to the next step.

Dear Doc,
My mother was diagnosed with ILD(Interstitial Lung Disease) few years back and we had her treatment from FORTIS Chandigarh, but no relief and after couple of years, we been told that there is no cure to this disease.
She been offered MEDROL (METHYL PREDNISOLON) 4mg & 8mg. but she developed some side effects like swelling on her face.
My parents after some time stop taking these medicines, but soon she started having pains in her joints, earlier we thought it as regular pains but I after taking some serious note from INTERNET thought it is RA, so I took her to a test where no she been diagnosed with IgA RF & IgG RF, which I believe simply means that she is suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. she is having continuous pains in her joints which is keeping her more on bed now. I request you to plz tell me what to do.
i shall be extremely thankful to your advise and plz tell me if we have real treatment in HOMEOPATHY.
will wait for your reply

Hi, I’ve been suffering for 8 yrs now. It started with pain on the right side of my body,where I had to turn onto the left side while I was asleep. Doctors initially diagnosed tension,went for massages,been to neurologists,psychologists,psychitrists,neurosurgeons,othopaedics and specialist physicians. Always have pain inside my right shoulder-massage it then its back.Beginning of 2012-been for 2 MRI’s- C5,6,7 AND L4 AND 5 detected as reason for pain coming up my right feet and my neck getting stiff,especially when I try to turn to the right. I’ve been on trypalline(25mg-at night);lyrica(75mg-day)-med aid don’t pay for lyrica and i’m very drowsy for school the next day. Been put on epleptin(300mg-day);cymgen(30mg-at night) from July 2012. It helped with pain in legs,but the pain in my shoulder did not go away. Seen a rheumatologist in October, prescribed Cymgen(60 mg at night),dignosed with Fibromyalgia. I’ve tried to get off all the medication and deal with this problem in a natural way. I’ve been for a traditional thai massage,felt very good;started walking,joined a dance class,do yoga for 15 minutes every morning. I stopped the Cymgen 60mg on the 19/10/2012. Two weeks after,i experienced feelings of a “zing” in my legs,hands,body. It went off, but its back now for about a week now. I don’t understand whats going on in my body. Do you have any idea whats happening with me?

You did a nicely written and published text. I actually was pleased with learning it tons. There are plenty of net websites through the internet at the present time, not to mention a huge amount of resources, it may be incredibly difficult to convey what exactly is reputable, but also what lots of people just simply make up. The very same applies to dieting or some kind of way of weightloss. I’ve truly read in detail quite a lot because of the easy hcg diets, and so am not sure what things to consider in view of every item. It seems that hcg shots are definitely the solution to use, they also may seem pricey, however, you have to obtain health professional. I happen to be trying to figure out about user friendly hcg drops, and if they will go a long way. You can also find genuine easy hcg drops, also homeopathic simple hcg drops on the market internationally. An individual can even get simple hcg drops located at Walmart at the present. The food diet which often complements hcg, may seem like it is just a undernourishment diet since they admit you eat smaller than 450-500 caloric intake every day. I would personally believe that consumers would likely experience weight loss with any eating regimen like this. In addition, they admit hcg makes it possible to be prepared to remain on this diet, on top of that motivates your own body for you to purge more and more excess body fat. Thanks, hcg.
Hello Sir
I am 36 years old and have had RA for the last 4 years. Tried some homeopathic medicine in the past, didnt really help. I have tried some dietary modifications which help but not to the whole extent. I have RA in my fingers , wrist, right elbow and both ankles and occ the left knee.
I was Rheumatoid factor positive when i was diagnosed . I dont see much variation with the weather but food seems to cause a lot of ups and downs.
I had my second baby approx 2 years ago and had a flare up then which hasnt subsided. I am not currently on any medications but seriously considering taking methotrexate. I do swelling in all the above mentioned joints and pain when the swelling increases with some limitation of activity.
Have done a lot of online sereach about cure for RA and wondering if homeopathy can really help slow the progression of the disease.
If that were the case i am definitely interested in trying it.Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
