Arthritis is a "disease" caused principally by impaired metabolism
and toxemia (poisons in the blood and tissues).

That does it!!! Now I'm convinced I can just delete
anything Bernarr sends....unread.   Rheumatoid arthritis
is an immune system disorder....one's own immune system
begins attacking the fluids and cartiledge(sp?) in the joints.
Some foods can exacerbate the problem....chocolate,
tomatoes (in my case).....but thinking it has anything to
do with "impaired metabolism and toxemia" is right up
there with blood-letting to reduce the inflammation.
I keep hoping AIDS research will come up with a clue
about Rheumatoid arthritis, too............

That's blaming the patient for the condition, which makes
as much sense as blaming a kid in the 1940's for contracting
polio.......And osteo-arthritis is indeed a wear-and-tear
condition.....combined with aging..........I'm so glad I don't
have to read this stuff anymore!!!!!!!!!!
