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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
