If you started eating non-paleo foods again, do you think your arthritis symptoms would return? Probably. It's not because you've "cured" your arthritis - you've simply altered the environment in which your arthritis flourished. In essence, you've "alleviated" your symptoms, but the "damage" has already been done. I don't have arthritis, and I hope I never get it. To this end I am avoiding a likely "cause" for the damage - certain foods. However, I can't entirely dismiss the possibility of genetic or other links, which is why I "hope" I never get it. I do have a similar situation to yours, however. I have been prone to sinus problems and infections all my life (to the point I had to have surgery a few years ago to remove a jungle of polyps). I find that milk and wheat are the big culprits for me, so I avoid them. However, I know that much damage has already been done. Therefore, I cannot consider myself "cured" - just lucky it hasn't gotten worse. IMHO, you have to tread very, very lightly when speaking of cures. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
