Healing RA naturally

Trying to heal RA naturally takes a lot of research on the internet. Unfortunately the doctors are so reluctant to advise their patient to do anything other than take drugs. For example when we had decided to try to have a baby, I went to my doctor to get guidelines for the next steps. I got advice how to quit on my meds but nothing else except he told me that I could come back if the pain would be really bad and then he would get me started on prednisone. 

For next months I didn't do any research nor tried different diets to keep the RA down. We just kept trying for a baby and hoping for the best. The baby making is taking a longer time than we expected so I have started to search on the internet for information  about how to keep RA down naturally. And I just wished that my doctor would guide me in this search because there's a lot of crap out there. You have to be able to distinguish between the crap and the good stuff. When you are a newbie to this like I'm. I find it at a time confusing.

I recently found a website that I think is trustworthy it is called Alternative RA treatments.  They seem to cover a lot of alternative treatments for RA. I'm excited to read up because I'm trying to decide which alternative treatments I should try. I don't want to waste my money on something that is a nonsense. 

Do you recommend any special treatment for RA? I would love to hear your opinion.

Day 5 is detox the answer?

It is rather hard getting up in the mornings. It honestly takes me the whole morning to wake up, get up, have breakfast and get dressed. In the mornings the problems isn't the pain but I have this unbelievable tiredness in my legs.

I have been reading a lot of arthritis blogs recently. There are some great blogs out there. My reason for reading them is to learn how to fight the arthritis and cure it. I truly believe it's possible. In my case taking drugs did miracle but it never really healed anything. I still continued to suffer from arthritis but when I was on the medicines I could work, study and have a social life. It's been one year since I took my last tablet. I went off the medicines in the hope that I would get pregnant. My husband and I both thought it would just take few months to get pregnant. Sadly that hasn't been the case. One year later, no baby, just arthritis in full flame. 

I was surprisingly good first seven months. The last five months have been hell. I went from being in school and working part-time job to nothing. I had to quit everything, I have trouble doing simple house chores and going out to meet up with friends. 

However the arthritis blogs have given me hope that it is possible to cure the arthritis with food. I made up 30 day challenge for me where I was going to eat healthy food, have one-free day a week (eat whatever I want) and exercise. Now I'm thinking that I should add detox to the challenge after reading this post 3 day miracle and this blog Jens ra journey. I have never detoxed but I'm willing to try anything and it can't hurt. Now I just have to find some detoxing programs. Any recommendation?
