Allergies / Autoimmune Hyperactivity

Arthritis: 55 year old client presented with chronic joint pain in the ankle and wrists. This had been diagnosed as Rheumatoid Arthritis and the joints were gradually getting more painful, with less mobility and strength. Client was on steroids for the inflammation and pain, but they were effective only at a high dosage.

Soooo....I have a cold, and I guess my immune system is working better.  It started as a sore throat, then went into my head, and now it's in my head and chest...and soon it will be gone, I think.

Thanks so much..."                                                                A.L. S.F.
