This is an interesting case where I used the standard remedy used for Osteo Arthritis to treat a patient suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis
From Usha Guptaon 2011-05-28
Hi,
I am a 46 old woman suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for the last 9 year. I have tried allopathic medicine but I feel relief till I take the medicine. I feel swelling in my whole body and mostly on my ankle, fingers and toes, I even have stiffness and muscle pain like in fever. The stiffness and swellings goes away if my bowel is clean up. Is there any best homeopathic remedy to cure immune system disorder ,the root cause of rheumatoid arthritis? Even my mother and her parents suffered this.
Re: treatment for rheumatoid arthritis
From Joe De Livera on 2011-05-28
The remedy that I prescribe for patients who present Osteo Arthritis is Argentum Metallicum 6c (AA) in the Wet dose. Some patients who used this remedy for Rheumatoid Arthritis confirmed that they were helped by the AA and it may be worth your while to use it and see if it can also help you.
I cannot believe that your mother and your grandparents also suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis and it is possible that your doctors have misdiagnosed all of you as it is very likely that you all suffer from Osteo Arthritis and NOT Rheumatoid Arthritis which is a rare disease and is caused by infection after a cold by the Beta Hemolyticus Streptococcus which is difficult to be treated.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
You can add another remedy to my therapy. Add Arnica 30c in the Wet dose as this remedy will also help all of you to return to normal.
Please report your response in a week. Edit Post Report post to moderator Re: treatment for rheumatoid arthritisFrom Usha Gupta on 2011-07-28thanks Dr.
I have brought the medicine but before starting the medicine i want to ask you how many times and for how long and at what time i should take the medicine. and should i start arnica at the same time please explain me doctor.
thanks for your
valuable advise
Re: treatment for rheumatoid arthritisFrom Joe De Livera on 2011-07-28I was surprised to see that you have not used the remedies that I prescribed for you on May 28 up to now.
I would like to know the reason why.
Re: treatment for rheumatoid arthritisFrom Usha Gupta on 2011-07-28
yes sorry doctor,
i coud’nt see your message but as soon as i have seen your message i brought the medicine. But still confused that how many times and till when i should take the medicine.

Dr please prescribe me medicine for my sunken and dark eyes and even i am gaining too much weight. I am at the stage of menopause and my periods are irregular.

Re: treatment for rheumatoid arthritis
From Joe De Livera on 2011-07-28
Please take both remedies as prescribed, leaving an hour between each, twice daily.
Arnica will help your other problems and I shall prescribe another remedy in about a month to reduce your weight safely.

I note that you intend using the therapy I have prescribed PLUS the therapy prescribed by AJAZDITTA.
I would prefer that you use this therapy and if it works you do not have to use mine.
DO NOT MIX 2 therapies together as the result is usually counterproductive.
Re: treatment for rheumatoid arthritis

Hello,
Yes doctor i am using Argentum Metallicum 6c (AA) and Arnica 30c.

Glad to note that your RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) which you first reported on the ABC on this thread and from which you stated that you have suffered from for the past 9 years has be controlled within the period of just under 2 months with my therapy aka “Joepathy”.
You must continue with this therapy for a further period of 2 months to make a total of 4 months and we can then modify the dosage which I shall indicate to you at that time.
In the meanwhile, please indicate precisely what remedies you are taking today with their dosage.
You can take Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets taken twice daily after meals to help with reducing your weight. You will also have to cooperate by exercising and refrain from eating fat forming foods. Also drink plenty of water up to 3 liters daily.
There is a remedy that can help with dark circles under the eyes but I prefer not to prescribe it for fear of an overload of remedies which can affect your Rheumatoid Arthritis.
You can take Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily to help with your Menopausal problems.
It is my hope that the classical homeopath who is usually wont to criticize my Joepathy will take note of this case.
Suffering from Acidity, Allergic Rhinitis and Migraine – Need your help savior:-
Hello Dr. Joe,
I have been reading through your website and remedies you gave in ABC homeopathy and I believe you are the only final hope now to whom I can reach to now.Below is my full case:
Name : Neema
Sex:Female
Age:30 years
Vegetarian
Sufferings:- Allergic Rhinitis or Cold Allergy, Hyper-acidity,Migraine,Patches/Itching on Neck
Allergic Rhinits /Cold Allergy:-
I shifted to Pune,India from Mumbai in August 2010, the day i shifted here i started sneezing 1000 times a day followed by heavy itching in eyes,running nose,watery eyes, pain in tooth gums and heavy itching below chest . After 2-3 months taking allopathy (allegra tables,nose drips), this allergy increased with nasal blocakage,heavy cough and I had an asthmatic attack.
The I took 7-8 month homeopathic treatment,it cured my allergy. In August 2011 again I started to sneeze with weather changes and again I started homeopathic treatment which stopped it temporarily.
These symptoms continue now also and till today I am suffering with allergy. The homeopathic medicines were kept hidden by the doctor
Red Patches on Neck and Itching:
The same day I shifted to Pune, I also started to have patches on my neck and continuous itching on the patches and neck. As soon as I get exposed to dust/pollution(which we can’t avoid in India), I get the patches on neck followed by itching.
Hyper acidity:
Since March 2011,I am suffering from hyper acidity. I burp as soon as I eat anything and feel heaviness in stomach sometimes vomiting and flatulence.Because of acidity I also start to feel constipated and I get ulcers in my mouth regularly and these ulcers stay for 15 days at once causing me immense pain in mouth.
Migraine:
Last but not the least, I had a migraine attack last month,Novemeber 2011.This was the first time I had this attack in my life.Symptoms were vomiting,sever headache like hammering on the head for 24 hours. Its fine in the morning but increases as the day passes with sun and till evening it left me exhausted. This continued for 10 days after which the migraine left leaving me completely exhausted ,weak with dizziness and low BP.I am taking ayurveda treatment for migraine a complete course of 1 month…but not sure whether it will treat migraine permanently and also not sure whether I will have it again.
Life style changes:
No fatty food,No drinking and smoking.No oily and spicy food since years.No junk and fried food.Eating in parts having 4 meals a day, drinking lots of water and fluids.Simple meal with lentils,fresh green vegetables.I am a pure vegetarian.
Doctor – You are my only savior and I hope and have faith in God that you will reply to this mail.I have lost all hopes that these diseases will ever GO forever. I feel like changing the city but cant do so now.I am completely down and lost all hopes from life.
May God bless you !!
Neema
You have listed the following ailments:
Allergic Rhinits /Cold Allergy
Red Patches on Neck and Itching
Hyper acidity
Migraine
It is possible that your GERD or Hyperacidity is the root cause of at least the Migraine and the irritation and itching on your neck and I shall copy my default remedy for GERD below:
Your remedies are as follows:
Nat Phos 6x dose 2-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 2 meals
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
You can expect relief from your ailment hopefully within 24 hours.
Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.
It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.
No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.
If you suffer from a stomach ache or you feel your stomach puffing up before a meal during the day between meals this is usually due to hunger pains, caused by your gastric juices attacking the inner wall of your stomach. The simple remedy is to eat some food like a biscuit or a banana to keep the gastric juice away from digesting the stomach wall when you will experience a stomach ache which in some cases can be very acute.
You must drink at least 3 liters of liquids, preferably water daily and you must also exercise for at least half hour daily to sweat it out as this is all part of my therapy to overcome GERD.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Liquid Alcohol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before sipping a capful of the bottle twice daily.
STOP using all other drugs and report progress in a week.
I shall prescribe for your Catarrh later after your GERD has stabilized.
Thanks a lot Joe for replying and I will start taking the above. However, currently my situation is worst due to allergic cold.Since last 2-3 days, I am sneezing 100 times a day and this is followed my nose block in the night with itching in tooth gums and whole body. Yesterday I took allegra(allopathy) and it suppressed the allergy.Still Allegra just gives relief for 5-6 hours and I have to take it again today as well. Also since last 2-3 days I do not have acidity much and but I am feeling weak due to this allergic cold. It looks like allergy is causing me everything. Could you please suggest some remedy for this allergy or should I wait for some more days? If I do not take any remedy for allergic cold it causes sneezing,nose blockage and I feel breathless.Thne I use otrivin nasal drops to open the nose and allegra tablet.Please suggest.
Neema
Since your Catarrh seems to be your chief ailment your remedy is:
Eupatorium Perfoliatum 30c in the Wet dose taken thrice daily. You will make the Wet dose according to my instructions in my last post.
You will not take any other medication unless on a SOS basis when you start on my therapy.
Report progress in 24 hours after your first dose.
ok joe thanks a ton for your reply. I will get the 3 doses(nat phos 6x,arnica 30c,and Eupatorium Perfoliatum 30c) and will report to you once i start taking them…thanks again
Hello joe , good morning!!
I took eut perf for my nasal blockage ,it reduced the blockage in the night i had a good sleep(thank you).But I am still having itching in eyes and watery eyes all day and sneezing sometimes(20-30 times a day).Please suggest what should be taken.Note:-I am not taking GERD remedy(arnica and nat phos) as of now as first I want to cure this allergy and acidity is not much and priority now.
I have following questions in addition:-
1.Will the remedies for allergy cure it from root? or just suppress it as it was done by my homeo doc last year 2-3 times he gave some med. and it just suppressed it completely and it came back this year.
2.I read in your blog that it is due to immunity.Should I take some immune boosters?
3.Till what time I should continue with Eut perf?
4.When I went to pharmacy, I saw some package from Alfa company for catarrh which had some kali.x and eut perf and nux vom etc. Will that alfa package(solid dose) help in curing this from root?
Please help and many thanks to you!!
Neema
You will have to continue with the Eupat Perf 30c in the Wet dose at a reduced dosage of twice daily for some time. It will soon reduce your Catarrh and when it does you will report progress.
You will also take Arnica 30c in the Wet dose at night but if you do not have GERD symptoms you need not take it.
You will not take any remedies other than those I have prescribed, if you wish to be treated by me.
Hi Joe,
Update for today:-
Since 2 days now I am suffering from continuous nose blockage,tremendous itching in eyes and nose.I am taking eu perf 4 to 5 times a day but it doesn’t work for me.Yesterday whole night I was breathing by mouth.My nasal is till blocked completely.
Please suggest.
I am also taking your GERD remedies(arnica and nat phos as persecribed by you above) for GERD as my acidity is increasing.
Neema
“I am taking eu perf 4 to 5 times a day but it doesn’t work for me.”
You must understand that Homeopathy and more specifically Joepathy does not work the way you seem to expect it to.
You must STOP taking all Homeopathic remedies for at least 3 days to permit your body to readjust to what it was before you abused it by taking a remedy overload. You are now suffering from what is known as aggravation and to overcome it you must STOP all remedies.
Report back to me if you wish after you STOP all remedies for this time and I shall try to help you again.
Dear Sir,
I have affected with RA at the age of 19, now my age is 28, i have been using only homeopathy, but irregularity of mine, iam absent to doctors treatment, i think it is better to treat personally with your help.
Here is my symptoms
pains in elbows, some fingers(thumbs, little fingers) mainly knees, iam suffering with left knee pain when in rest it will be ok, but when i play games like cricket and shuttle it will come again, so hard and painful after taking some rest it will settle down, morning stiffness and a little bit lazy, floaters on eyes, little nervousness, sounds from joints of elbows, knees, jaws.
Just 2 days back i started using arg met-30c pillets twice daily and using alfalfa mother tincture once in a day
Kindly help me, iam not having confidence in mine because of this Disease
thank you
Shu
“Just 2 days back i started using arg met-30c pillets twice daily and using alfalfa mother tincture once in a day”
Please STOP the therapy you are using above and start on the following therapy which is my default therapy for Osteo Arthritis which has also helped patients presenting Rheumatoid Arthritis.
In your case, I would like to know how you were diagnosed with RA and not OA?
There is every possibility that Argentum Metallicum 6c in the Wet dose can cure the patient of the pain associated with Arthritis. It is the grating of the 2 bones, the Tibia and the Femur without the cushion of the Cartilage that results in Osteo Arthritis and relief is usually noticed on the third day after the commencement of the therapy.
A matter that amazes me is that there is no blood supply to the Cartilage which is essential for repairing and regrowing the Cartilage in the joints. How then can the cartilage regrow and thereby reduce and eventually eliminate the pain associated with Arthritis?
I have helped many patients who were on a daily dose of various analgesics which only served to deaden the pain temporarily but not CURE the condition.
Argentum Metallicum 6c
Arnica 30c
Both remedies to be taken in the Wet dose taken twice daily leaving about an hour between remedies.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
Please note that I do not pretend to the elevation your have lifted me to at divine levels which frankly embarrasses me. I do have a certain flair for using standard Homeopathic remedies in a manner that has been classified as “Joepathy” which usually cures the patient.
I shall be interested to know in a few weeks if my therapy can also help you.
Do you suffer from GERD aka Gastritis after meals especially after dinner?
Your are god to all of us who are receiving treatment, and giving new life to us
thanks
No sir
yeah iam having it but i dont know what it is am having some disturbances in my stomach in some times but cant tell after dinner or lunch it happens
Sir, some tests about RA by allopathic doctor confirmed that iam having RA at first time.
Hi sir
i didnt find any spring water in our city, is there any alternate for this water, can in use mineral water
Shu
You may use tap water from the mains after boiling and cooling
thank you sir ill let you know after 1 week, and i want to know about my diet, what to eat and not to, is there any food restrictions
Sir, you asked about gastritis after dinner, some times iam having pain in the lower right side of stomach, and am started the course, did how many days i have to use.
Shu
You may take 2 tablets Nat Phos 6x after 3 meals daily and report your response. Nat Phos will also help with your RA and especially with Uric acid if you present Gout.
Dear Sir
By using nat phos 6x iam feeling better now, dont have any disturbances in my stomach. did how many DAYS i have to use it.
Suresh
For as long as you need it.
sir
am getting floaters on eyes, its very disturbing for my vision sometimes when am in sunlight, night time it is better, is it serious
Shu
Floaters in your eyes are a temporary phenomenon for which both modern medicine and Homeopathy have no answers.
You can use Sunglasses when exposed to sunlight as you state that you notice them during this time of exposure.
You can expect them to clear up on their own in a few days.
Sir
1. Iam suffering from RA and diagnosed at my age 18 i using only homeopathy from 10 years, as i mentioned earlier that because of my irregularity for treatment iam not cured, finally i heard about you from my friend and mailed you. Iam using your theraphy now and will continously in contact with you.
2. 3 months back i met with a small accident and only injured on head and treated in emergency hospital by M.S Surgeon who is very close to us. He asked me about blood vomtings, which i didn’t get at the time of accident, He told that every thing is ok, and stiched on my head.
For your information as you said, I met that doctor today, he said every thing is ok no need of xray and scan.
It might be because of over stress. and suggest me to take rest and gave some medicine.
Iam a system administrator i used to work atleast 8-10 hours daily on computers
I will follow your suggestions and treatment
thanks alot
Shu
I hope that you understand that at my age of 83 even I can get irritated with a 28 year old boy like you whose ailments I have cured with my therapy aka Joepathy, when you state:
“am getting so week feeling ill everyday. Today suddenly i felt nervous, heart beat raised, after few minitues it come down to normal, feeling stressed because of illness. please help me in this issue.”
and you and added:
“am forgetting everything, Unable to concentrate on anything”
I consider your 2 posts as an insult to my patience and must inform you that it is time you stopped bugging me with your trivia and that I shall consign your future posts into the TRASH.
My symptoms are numbness from waist down, knee pain, especially the left side. I can’t feel my legs…they feel like sticks. Balance is unstable.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Chuck B
You will have to give me more data on your ailment and report the diagnosis made by your doctors as I cannot be expected to diagnose it on the basis of your statement.
You must understand that you must give me data on your age and for how long you have suffered from your ailment.
Also list ALL your ailments and the drugs if any that you are taking for them
numbness on bottoms of both feet started about two years ago
went to a chiropractor in Corona California who treats neuropathy,
this series of 30 treatments made condition much worse
During the course of these treatments numbness went up left leg, left knee swollen and painful, finally my
back went out and I couldn’t walk
Stopped treatments and barely made it home where I was incapacitated and could hardly walk for a month
went to VA clinic who did x rays and blood work, nothing abnormal, referred to physical therapist who got me out of severe pain, but no further results
at present time both knees hurt and I am numb from waist down, legs feel like sticks
not sure what to do next I am age 61, normally fit and active
not on any drugs, except seroquel for sleeping occassionally
Chuck
I am indeed flabbergasted to read your record of how your chiropractor manhandled your body under the pretext of curing your ailment and succeeded in not only making it infinitely worse but rendered you a paraplegic for a month. I cannot understand the reason why you the patient, permitted this damage to continue over 30 sessions of ‘therapy’ when you realised that he was not doing you any good and was in fact making you infinitely worse than before.
I can only hope that I can help you with my therapy.
I believe that your problems are neurological and it is possible that you also suffer from Arthritis.
Your remedies are:
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken thrice daily for a week when I shall review it.
Argentum Metallicum 6c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
Hypericum 200c in the Wet dose taken 4 times daily.
Ferr Phos 6x dose 3 tablets taken thrice daily.
Leave half hour between the remedies.
Please note that you cannot expect a quick fix to your problem which is man made.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
You will STOP all other medication and report your response weekly or more often if you wish.
I thought that over time the pain would go away, when it didn’t I clearly saw that there was a direct connection between the pain and the ongoing treatments. The doctor treats from a the point of view that he refuses to believe that the treatment schedule can or should be varied, and that it’s possible for over-treatment to exacerbate the condition. Now I am left feeling foolish for getting the treatments, because my original condition was very minor, the numb feet was not a problem when doing simple functions, such as walking, and there was no knee pain. Now walking is a major production, and bending the knee is very problematic.
I am a female aged 50. I am having joint pains for almost two years. I live in a relatively cold place. Back in 1996 when I went to a doctor for acidity, My lab work in 1996 confirmed that I had Epstein Barr virus. The doctor did not suggest anything for Epstein Barr at that time. Doctor told me that there are no medicines for Epstein Barr. After a while I gave up on that and managed my lifestyle with diet to control my acidity. Even now it flares up if I eat anything spicy. Between 1996 and 2010 I had acidity which I managed with food. Last two years I have started experiencing joint pains. My periods were regular until Oct 2012 which happened to be my last one. Recently a week back I went for my annual physical exam. All results are normal except the following.
Hgb –> 11.0 (12.0 – 16.0) g/DL Low
Hct –> 33.5 (36.0 – 48.0) % Low
Globulin –> 4.0 (1.9 – 3.7 ) MG/DL High
Iron 48 (40-160 UG/DL)
%saturation 13 (15-50 %) Low
sed rate –> 83 High
Vitamin D 25-OH, Total 29 (D3-23, D2-6) (30-100 ng/mL) Low
ANA Pattern –> *Homogeneous
ANA Screen, IFA –> *Positive
Rheumatoid Factor –>1555 (0-14) High
As per the latest blood results, I have RA, low on Vitamin D, anemic etc. I have acidity since 1996. Managing it with diet.
My treatment request are in the following order
1. RA
2. Epstein Barr
3. Acidity
4. Vitamin D
5. Anemia
Ramyaang
I did not notice that you had posted your problems on 2 separate posts the first of which I replied and deleted before I read your second post, as there did not seem to be any connection between each as I had not read your name on both.
It is best not to confuse me with 2 posts when you could have done just one to list your problems.
You must understand that I am 84 years of age and prefer NOT to be confused unnecessarily.
I shall treat your ailments in the following order:
GERD — Acidity
RA
Epstein Barr Virus
As you are perhaps aware there is no known CURE for this virus in medicine. I have prescribed a remedy which seems to treat a variety of Virus borne diseases but I shall prescribe it later after you report your response to the therapy I have prescribed already.
I cannot prescribe for
Vitamin D
Anemia.
I believe that your GERD which you do not seem to consider is a major problem in your health status, is the ROOT CAUSE of your ailments.
I shall copy my default therapy for GERD below:
It is very likely that you suffer from Hyperacidity or Gastritis, aka GERD (Gastro Esophagal Reflux Disease) and I shall copy my default therapy that has helped hundreds of patients to overcome this disease for which doctors usually prescribe PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) drugs which are dangerous and can cause many other more serious problem when used in the long term.
You will hopefully discover that my therapy aka “Joepathy” will help you within the hour after you have taken your first dose after a meal.
The remedies you will order are as follows:
Nat Phos 6x dose 3-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 2 meals
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
Please observe the following simple rules:
Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.
It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.
No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.
If you suffer from a stomach ache or you feel your stomach puffing up before a meal during the day between meals, this is usually due to hunger pains, caused by your gastric juices attacking the inner lining and the wall of your stomach. The simple remedy is to eat some food like a biscuit or a banana between meals to keep the gastric juice away from digesting the stomach wall which results in a stomach ache which in some cases can be acute.
You must drink at least 3 liters of liquids, preferably water daily and you must also exercise for at least half hour daily. It is important to sweat it out as this is all part of my therapy to overcome GERD.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Liquid Alcohol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before sipping a capful of the bottle twice daily.
It is understood that the patient will stop all other drugs which s/he may be taking for this ailment.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
The remedy is:
Argentum Metallicum 6c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
My symptoms are
When I have a good bowel movement, my joint pains are at ease. Morning 6 Am to 10 AM joints are not that flexible. After 10 AM they will be bit relaxed.
Some amount of swelling around the ankle area.
I see swelling in my hand fingers sometimes.
Can not get up that easily when I lie down on floor mat.
After getting up from floor, I can not start my regular walk. It takes few slow steps to get back to my normal walk. I can not walk too fast.
When I get up from my floor mat, I hear a cracking sound on my knee joints once in a while.
Stools are yellowish sometime when I eat spicy. I have to stop eating anything spicy for a couple of days to bring it back to brownish.
When my bowel movement is yellowish, I tend to have more joint stiffness.
Dr. Joe
My apologies for the two posts. I realized that I did not include the symptoms after posting the first post. I am going to order the following and get started on them as soon as they arrive. I will report back the results.
Argentum Metallicum 6c in the Wet dose taken twice daily
Nat Phos 6x dose 3-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 2 meals
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
Thanks Joe. I got the medicines and tried for a couple of weeks. I have been taking the wet dose for RA and it loosens up my joints. I feel better with the wet dose of Argentum Metallicum 6c.
When I take the wet dose of Arnica 30C sometimes I get bloating sensation.
Please suggest when to take these medications. Can all three medications be taken one after other. Should there be a gap between the medications.
Here are my improvements:
1. My bowel movement has turned to brown most of the times.
2. My joint pains have eased a bit. They are bit relaxed than what they were before.
3. My stiffness and pains ease a bit when I have bowel movement.
Current issues:
1. Slight bloating when Arnica is consumed.
2. The ankles remain bit swollen
3. Hand fingers are ocassionally swollen
4. The areas of stiffness become relatively warmer compared to the other parts of the body.

“I got the medicines and tried for a couple of weeks. I have been taking the wet dose for RA and it loosens up my joints.”
Please be more specific about what remedies have been taken by you as I do not have any record. I can do a search for what you have taken but it takes too much of my time.
You must understand that I am NOT a professional Homeopath but at age 84 I feel that it is my duty to help anyone who seeks my therapy aka “Joepathy”, merely for the satisfaction I get from doing so.
The bloating you refer to may respond to Nat Phos 6x dose 3 tablets after a meal when you feel any discomfort.
You may be suffering from some gastric reflux and this remedy should soon fix it
Be advised that Arnica cannot possibly be the cause.
I am taking the following.
1.Argentum Metallicum 6c in the Wet dose taken twice daily. For my RA. This gives me lot of relief.
2.Nat Phos 6x and Arnica for GERD.
Here are my improvements:
1. My bowel movement has turned to brown most of the times.
2. My joint pains have eased a bit. They are bit relaxed than what they were before.
3. My stiffness and pains ease a bit when I have bowel movement.

Good to know that you are already taking Nat Phos and Arnica for GERD although you have not stated so up to now.
If as you state, you still suffer from any gastric problems, you can safely increase the dosage of the Nat Phos 6x up to 6 tablets after every meal till you overcome all gastric problems. Reduce the dosage in quantity when you feel that you have achieved some relief.
You may like to know that NPhos is the precise remedy for GOUT and it is recommended that you do a Blood Test for Uric Acid levels for the record. I suspect that you will present a high Uric Acid level judging by your comments about stiffness in your fingers and joints.
Please note that I live in Sri Lanka and am only visualizing your problems without meeting you and not knowing in which part of the world you live in. Some patients have called it a sixth sense or intuition but I call it “Inspiration”.
Thanks Joe. Your medicines woking well for me. I feel lot better compared to a month ago.
Yes. I am taking Nat Phos and Arnica for GERD. Your diagnosis is correct. I need to correct my GERD first. I will increase my Nat Phos dosage as per your suggestion. I live in USA relatively a cold place. I checked my recent lab work. There is a reference called Urea Nitrogen – 9 (range 7-25 mg/dl). I am not sure whether this refers to uric acid or somethign else. I will ask te local doctor when I go for check up next time. Once in a while I also see small bumps on the edges of my tongue. Also note that I was diagnosed with Epstein Barr back in 96.
Argentum is giving me quick relief for my joints. I am really happy about that.
Please let me know if I can take all three medicines at the same time. namely Nat phos, Arnica for GERD and Argentum for RA. Do I need any other medicines ?
l am 57 years female sufering from ra since last 5 years.l took allopathic medicines and ayurvedic medicines.And from last 4 months I am taking homeopathy medicines.I am anemiatic.I am taking following homeopathy remedies:-
1.Rhus toxs-200c-4 timea
2.Calc carb-200c-do
3.Arnica-200c. – do
I am not satisfied from the relife because flare up joints are worst. Please suggest suitable remedies.
I shall copy below my default therapy for Arthritis which has helped many patients who were on a daily dose of various analgesics which only served to deaden the pain temporarily but not CURE the condition. Some patients have reported that they experienced relief from the pain they suffered for many years in the short space of just 48 hours and it is my hope that you too will experience this same blessed relief from your pain.
The 2 remedies are:
Argentum Metallicum 6c
Arnica 30c
Both remedies to be taken in the Wet dose twice daily leaving about an hour between remedies.
You will not take any drugs when you start my therapy.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.
YOU WILL STOP ALL OTHER MEDICINES WHEN YOU START ON MY THERAPY.
Hi Joe.
can you help me please?
i have rheumatoid arthritis,
my head feels spaced out, like im floating & disconnected & i have headaches.
my whole back aches & is stiff & sore.
my knees are hurting & my feet are aching.
i wake up feeling like death warmed over & its really hard to get up in the morning.
im extremely fatigued.
i read you can drink peroxide to treat ra, i tried it & felt a bit better but i vomited from drinking it.
i also bought nat phos because i thought if i alkalize it might help get rid of the ra?
im desperate for help & want to try your remedy, can you please tell me how to do it, so after adding the 3 drops to the water bottle & shaking it up, you only drink a teaspoon sized portion?
how many times a day please?
thankyou i appreciate your help, i hope you are still doing this.
I noticed that you have addressed me by my given name, Joe.
I do not permit being addressed by name on my website, as I only permit my peers and close friends to do so.
Here in Sri Lanka where I live, we have a modicum of respect for age.
I am 86 years old.
You must understand that you are consulting a physician and even in Australia where I believe you live, it is unlikely that you would do so on a first consultation.
In your last post you stated:
“can you help me please?

How do you conclude that you suffer from RA ?
Have you consulted a physician and were the routine tests done for RA? If so please quote them.
Also indicate what your ailments are in detail and I shall try to help you if I can.
Age ? Marital status ? Occupation ? Other ailments ?
please forgive me sir, i didnt mean any disrespect, you are right, i was out of order & i apologize,
i was only trying to be friendly.
im sorry for causing offense. please forgive me, would you help me please?
im feeling very ill, like im drunk. please help me.
im 38 & recently separated from my husband.

I have succeeded in helping a few cases of RA with my default therapy for Osteo Arthritis which I shall copy below:

Respected Sir,

I have started taking now Allopurinol to reduce the Uric Acid level.
I was also taking Homeo Medicines viz., Berberis Pentarkan, Colchicum, Urteca Urens etc.
I am not responding to these treatments.
Kindly help
Thanks

I note that you have taken 3 Homeopathic Remedies for your high Uric Acid Level (UAL) which you state you have been suffering from for many years with no relief.
I have had some success with Nat Phos 6x and you can take 4 tablets thrice daily for a week and report your response when you should notice some relief.
You can repeat your Blood test in a month and report your lowered UAL level.
Some patients have experienced a bitter taste in the mouth and also an enhanced thirst and this can be considered as normal.
Dr Sir

You first consulted me in 2015 and I have patiently responded to over 35 of your posts to treat many members of your family and your friends. I am 89 years old and am still batting on treating suffering humanity.
I note that your wife has been subjected to a Hysterectomy at age 41 and would like to know the reason why this was done, without asking for my advice as I would have expected you to do having spent a lot of time in treating your family for relatively simple ailments in comparison to the hysterectomy.
You also mention Asthma and IVF which she has been subjected to and I am somewhat confused as to the reason why the IVF was done after a hysterectomy.
You now state that she presents RA and breast pain and that you have consulted a professional homeopath who has give her some remedies which have helped her.
I would prefer if you continue with your homeopath who is better able to help you and your family as he has the advantage of personal contact with you, which I lack.
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your kind response.
Our second child was conceived through IVF treatment. when she was born, it was c-section and the bleeding did not stop. Hence doctor went for Hysterectomy.
She was having on and off Asthma.we used homeopathy medication as per your advice and she was OK. but since last six months or so, asthma has aggravated. When she had started with lumps, i searched on your site, but could not find anything. may be i have missed. Then we had to consult a local homeopath.
But now since she has multiple issues, we are confused which one to prioritize. I know english medicine only surpresses the disease. Never i had intention of ignoring you, as my family has got lot of benefit from your treatment, for which I am ever grateful to you Sir. and I do not want to bug you, but need your advice Sir.
Kindly help us Sir.
regards
Tridev
Glad you explained your position.
Has your wife consulted a doctor and checked the reason for the lump in her breast?
I have some experience with Breast Lumps and shall prescribe after you have responded.
You state that I have already cured her Asthma and you can use the same therapy but she should not use it right now as I feel that the Breast lump is more urgent.
Have any of your children presented Asthma?
Dear Sir,
My kind regards to you.
Regarding lump, we had consulted one gynecologist and suregeon, nobody explained any reason, but they guessed that since the child was not feeding much from that side, that could have caused the lump.
we had done one mammography test, there was not any puss in it. the doctor had given some antibiotics, pain was relieved temporarily , but again it started once the medicine was over.
Regarding Asthma, yes, my elder daughter (13 yrs old) had lot of allergy related issues (sneezing, running noses and Asthma). she took your medicine and did yoga , exercises and is regularly playing badminton now a days. she is almost OK except one instance in last 6 months, where it was due to playing harder and longer.
Sure Sir, I will go for the same medication (Nat Sulph 6c and Ars alb 30 on SOS in wet dosage)for Asthma.
Kindly advise us on lumps and RA.
regards
Tridev
BREAST LUMPS
I shall copy below my default therapy for Breast Lumps which has helped many patients to avoid surgery.
Conium 6c and Arnica 30c both taken in the Wet dose twice daily may help your pain which is perhaps caused by swollen lymph glands.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Ethanol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
Please note that you will make the 2 remedies in 2 separate bottles and you will take them about half an hour apart.
Stop all other remedies and treatment you are using today and report progress in a week or earlier if you discover any improvement in your pain level.
If your pain does not decrease in a week you must consult a doctor to diagnose your problem and it is very likely that a Mammogram will be ordered. This is to be certain that your problem is not due to any other more serious cause.

Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.
You will not take any drugs when you start my therapy.
ARTHRITIS (RA & OSTEO)

YOU WILL ONLY TAKE ONE DOSE OF ARNICA 30C WHICH I PRESCRIBE FOR BOTH AILMENTS ABOVE.
Dear Dr Joe de Livera
I am grateful to you for your post and have started Arnica 30C in wet dose after Argentum Metallicum 6c with a gap of half an hour.
Like you I do not take allopathic medicines. As regards being an old man ,it was written in different context i e not having much of practice with the modern gadgets.Otherwise the god has been kind to me and I am still working in office alongwith my son at our own factory.
A small problem which I assume is an age factor is requirement of getting up at night 2 to 3 times for passing urine.
In the year 2001 I had cervical and was not able to walk straight.I was prescribed Cimici fuga by a homeopathic doctor.I was fully cured in a short time.After that I said goodby to allopathic medicine.
With regards
Major SS Bhatia
Since your sleep is disturbed frequently I am copying my therapy for Urinary Incontinence:
I shall copy below the therapy I have pioneered to treat problems associated with the Prostate .
The remedies are
Bellis Perennis 6c
Both remedies to be taken twice daily in the Wet dose made as per instructions below.
The combination of both Bellis P 6c and Arnica 6c seems to reduce the enlarged Prostate which can sometimes result in Prostatitis, an infection of the Prostate Gland caused by the retention of Urine. The effect of these remedies is usually experienced within a few hours after taking them.
The joint action of both remedies will ease the flow of urine by relaxing the Prostate in a manner that drugs cannot equal. It will do this very safely in comparison to drugs which usually cause other side effects. These remedies will also reduce the enlarged Prostate which in turn can hopefully rule out surgery.
It is also necessary that a Blood Test is done annually to check the PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) level which is accepted as normal at between 0 – 4. This Blood test can be added to the standard test for Lipid Profile and other factors that your doctor may find necessary.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Alcohol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you take a capful which is the dose. Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before a capful of the bottle is sipped as directed.
It is understood that the patient will STOP all other drugs which can antidote the Homeopathy.
The following restrictions must be observed to ensure that the Homeopathy is not antidoted.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.
The patient is advised to refrain from Alcohol as this has triggered the Urine retention which my therapy has helped to cure.
Report progress weekly for further advice if needed.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NOT TAKE THE ARNICA 6C AS I HAVE ALREADY PRESCRIBED ARNICA 30C FOR SOME OTHER AILMENT YOU PRESENTED.
