According to Wikipedia the free encyclopedia on the Internet, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that results in a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs but primarily attacks flexible (synovial) joints. It can be a disabling and painful condition, which can lead to substantial loss of functioning and mobility if not adequately treated. It goes on to say the process involves an inflammatory response of the capsule around the joints secondary to swelling the synovial cells, excess synovial fluid, and the development of fibrous tissue in the synovium. Further on, it talks about how even the lungs could get fibrous tissue.
But when it comes to dealing with the problem of reducing pain and symptoms, it advises that drugs are still the best answer inspite of their side effects, for helping with rheumatoid arthritis. It does mention some of the herbs you could take, but advises against them due to their high side effects, and then goes on to compare the side effect of herbs to drugs, which in reality there is no comparison whatsoever. Yes herbs do work like drugs in that they are phytochemicals, however, drugs are synthetically made and not organic as are herbs, which could lead to many damaging effects on the body including even possibly messing with the DNA of an individual which can be passed down to their offspring, even if it doesn't affect them immediately. The herbs they mentioned would only be semi-helpful which would not lead to any significant reduction in pain or swelling. I find it very peculiar however, that there was no mention of anything other than herbs which are not vitamins minerals or coenzymes. There is a mineral out there that is very helpful and is called methylsulfonylmethane otherwise known as MSM. Unlike herbs and drugs, there is almost no toxicity to MSM whatsoever. In fact in one study they showed that water was twice as toxic as MSM. At 20 g to a pound of bodyweight water is toxic, at 40 g to a pound of body weight MSM is toxic, in other words, if you were trying to kill yourself by taking MSM and drinking it down with water, the water would kill you first. It is one of the least toxic things on this planet so you can even go high on the milligrams without any harm to yourself. The only people who need to watch out in taking MSM are people who are allergic to sulfur, not sulfa drugs. For instance, my wife is allergic to sulfa drugs yet she can take MSM with no problem whatsoever. Those with the true allergy to sulfur cannot take MSM. If you can eat eggs or garlic and even onions then you most likely are not allergic to sulfur. There is one other item that isn't a drug and it starts helping with the relief of pain almost instantly, it's called the Biomat.
I myself have been a sufferer of rheumatoid arthritis since I was young child. As a child I got scarlet fever and somehow it left me with rheumatoid arthritis. Most of my younger life I suffered with this pain especially during weather changes, the pain would be so intense in my hips that at times I could not even walk. I found out about MSM in my 30s and begin taking high amounts of it, over time it reduced my pain greatly but still had problems during weather changes although not near as bad as it was. I found out about Biomats and bought one, and all I can say is wow. The Biomat was the most soothing relief I ever felt that was pretty much immediate, together with the MSM I no longer have any pain whatsoever, that's right, no pain whatsoever and all my swelling has gone down, no more bumps on my fingers, no more pain in my hips.
Don't expect the Mayo Clinic anytime soon do any studies on these products, because they're not drugs and there's no money to be made from it, and if there's no money to be made from it, they sure don't want you to know about it. If you suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and would like some relief, go to a health food store and buy some MSM and start taking some high amounts of it with vitamin C, after about two weeks you'll start feeling some relief, then go get yourself a Biomat, believe me, you'll be glad you did.
