Hello All,
I was diagnosed with RA 12 mths ago, and started on my healing journey from there. I read Philip Day's books and started eliminating dairy (amongst other things) and adding supplements as he advised, whilst I continued to research. I needed more than this approach and found another programme in October which offered me a day to day diet (cleanse, heal etc) way to heal this disease. It is a vegan style programme and after the first 3 days I was able to stop my meds (Celebrex and Plaquinil). In December my blood tests were excellent, however I had also new developed a prolapse which was getting worse. After 5 months on the program my hands had not improved, and my prolapse seemed to be getting worse, making life more difficult, and I was getting a little depressed
.
I then decided to start the AIP diet which I have been following via the AutoImmune Protocol for the last 6 weeks, with no improvement in the function of my hands. However, my prolapse has been improving, I'm guessing from the increase in animal protein, which has also made a difference in my muscle tone which had deteriorated on the previous diet. My weight plummeted 12 kgs from 56kg to 42kg and I felt I was getting too thin to expect my body to heal properly, another reason to change my diet.
I am making and drinking water Kefir and Kombucha tea. Wonderful drinks, however my bowel still needs some assistance at times.
I need some help and guidance, my hands just don't seem to be improving as I would like.
Thanks for any assistance or ideas anyone can give me, Gail
