Rheumatoid Arthritis
and Carbohydrates

Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis and the Carbohydrate Connection

Hundreds  of thousands  of` people-mostly young  women~are  diagnosed  with  either lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,  or both. In most cases the diagnosis  is  never  really  exact.  One  day,  or  in  a short period  of a  few  days  or  weeks,  the  patient begins to suffer joint pains.  This  often begins  with a  high  fever  that  will  not  come  down.  In  many cases  a prior condition  like chronic bronchitis  has required a long or double dose of antibiotics.  

Soon  thereafter a  whole series  of events  takes place.  Joint  pains  begin  and quickly  become  intense, migrating throughout the joints of the body. A joint will swell, turn red, hurt severely then become  normal  as  another joint  suffers  the  same problem.  A Rheumatologist is  usually employed at this time, and the cause of the problem is often difficult or impossible to pin down.

Picture
So a diagnosis  of lupus,  rheumatoid arthritis. or both is used,  and the usual treatments with Prednisone and  anti-microbial  or anti-infective drugs like Plaquenil begin. In most cases the condition just runs  along,  severe some months, less  severe others.  Months  turn to  years,  and the drugs  take their toll. Exercise and physical activities  are curtailed  or  ended,  and  the young  women  usually begin to slowly gain weight. The pain continues.

For the lucky ones,  an amazing thing happens. They decide to try to lose weight and go on a low~ carbohydrate  diet. Within  days  of quitting  the grains, wheat,  pasta, pastries,  refined  foods,  and  most  other carbohydrates, their pain starts to go away.     Soon they are pain free, and if they haven't already, they quit the drugs. Amazingly,  the pain doesn’t return.

Soon  they  begin  to  experiment-just to  be sure!  Like clockwork, when  they gorge on carbohydrates, their pain returns. They can literally turn the pain off by excluding carbohydrates, and on by including them in their diet. When the pain returns, it happens like clockwork-and often with a cardinal  sign-like a big nasty cold sore. No rocket scientist needed here. As long as they eat a healthful diet, their lifetime disease of "lupus"  or "rheumatoid arthritis" is simply gone.

The ones  with real guts  confront their doctor, report their findings, and ask the burning question: "Why did a lupus and rheumatoid arthritis  expert allow me to go through hell for all these years and nearly kill  me with  drugs  when my problem was caused by carbohydrates?"
If you  are  in  this  or  a  similar  situation,  take heed.  Get  a  copy  of the  book Protein Power  by Michael  and Mary  Eades,  MD  (Bantam Books). Get started on a low carbohydrate diet and eliminate  all  grains.  If you  are one of the majority   of sufferers,  your pain  will  begin  to  disappear.  The side  effects  of this  "radical  diet?"  You  will  lose weight,  gain  muscle,  and final]y  normalize your insulin-hormone response  and  blood  insulin  dramatically  reducing  your risk  of heart disease. What a concept!

So, if you constantly deal with sore, swollen. painful, hot joints, you can  be pretty sure you have come down with rheumatoid arthritis. In almost all cases rheumatoid arthritis is actually an infection in the joints. And the most common culprit is mycoplasma. Since there is limited blood flow to tendons and ligaments, it is tough to get rid of this type of infection. In most cases a year (12 months) of the low (acme) dose of tetracycline or minocycline is needed. There are scores of studies to show the infection-rheumatoid connection as well as the efficacy of antibiotic therapy.

I am never in favor of antibiotics, especially for a long period of time. But in these cases there is usually no choice. With the very low dose, there is rarely  a problem with yeast overgrowth  or gut problems. Ask your rheumatologist for a prescription for the acne dose of minocycline. If he or she insists on toxic treatments that never cure the condition  like Prednisone, Methotrexate,  gold shots, etc.-you probably need another doctor. You will need to start calling doctors from the yellow pages to  find  one  with  enough  sense  to  help  you  by writing the necessary prescription.
