Best OTC meds for R.A?

Question

What are the best OTC meds to take for R.A. (Rheumatoid Arthritis) symptoms?

Answer 1

Try increasing your consumption of fatty fish, such as cod, salmon and halibut on a daily basis.......... they are a great source of omega - 3 fatty acids which have antiflammatory properties. I'd also suggest you eliminate the nightshades, such as potatoes, tomatoes and eggplant from your diet as they may aggravate your condition.

Fish oils are rich in omega 3 fatty acids and will also help to possibly prevent depression;

~ alleviate rheumatoid arthritis;

~ offer protection against migraines and kidney disease;

~ enhance the immune system;

~ lower blood pressure;

~ keep skin, hair and nails healthy;

~ lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides;

~ reduce blood viscosity;

~ help prevent heart attacks and strokes.

To increase your Omega 3 intake ~

~ grind whole organic flaxseeds in a coffee grinder and sprinkle over fresh fruit;

~ throw a handful of organic walnuts into a green leafy salad;

~ add a tablespoon of flaxseed oil to your morning smoothie;

~ eat oily, cold water fresh fish like salmon, mackerel or tuna at least three times a week.

organic with the nuts and seeds to avoid the nasty sulfites and other chemicals they use to "preserve" them that may upset sensitive bodies .

Take a B complex supplement on a daily basis ~ B5, part of that complex, has been found to be effective in reducing the pain of arthritis in some cases ........... buy perhaps a liquid B complex supplement as it will be easier for your body to assimilate ........ get one with all the B's in it ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 and folic acid etc.... as they work best as a group.... don't buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group unless specifically instructed to do so by a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath.

The B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning and will bolster your system enormously in dealing with the everyday stresses of life.

Please also ensure that whichever supplement you decide to buy doesn't contain any lactose, wheat, yeast, gluten, preservatives or flavorings, sugar or yeast as none of these have any place in a good quality supplement anyways.

Take 2 fish oils capsules twice daily.

Take extra vitamin C in a powdered form as well ~ you can get it with bioflavonoids contained therein ~ the bioflavonoids inrease the power of vitamin C 10 fold....... if you're taking lots of aspirin you're losing vitamin C.

Vitamin C reduces inflammation, stimulates the immune system and restores the mucous lining of the gastrointestinal tract.......... In addition, vitamin C creates an environment in the digestive tract that helps control the overgrowth of yeast, bacteria and parasites.

Vitamin C deficiency can contribut to digestive problems, as well as bleeding gums, increased susceptibility to infection, joint pain, unexplained bruising and lack of energy.
