Can rheumatoid arthritis be cured?

Most rheumatoid arthritis cannot be cured by modern medicine, but it can be put into remission with the right kind of treatment.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by symmetric polyarthritis. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis may have a variety of autoantibodies in their serum, such as rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies. The disease mainly affects the peripheral joints, and other organs or tissues such as the heart, lungs, eyes, nervous system, and blood can also be involved. The prognosis of rheumatoid arthritis is related to the duration of the disease, the severity of the disease and the treatment.

10% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a mild condition that can resolve on its own; 10% to 20% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a rapidly progressing condition that can develop into severe disability within 1 to 2 years; and the majority of patients exhibit chronic recurrent episodes.

Most rheumatoid arthritis patients have prolonged illnesses that cannot be cured by modern medicine, but can be alleviated with active and correct treatment. In addition, the early or late treatment and the rationality of the treatment program also have an important impact on the prognosis.

Seek treatment from a virtuous and talented herbalist

This disease is very difficult to cure, and with the change of seasons, it is sometimes mild and sometimes severe. My relative has been suffering from rheumatoid for 14 or 15 years, and I know it very well. In the process of taking medicine, we must pay attention to protect the liver, kidney and stomach. You can't lose sight of the other.

In practice, we have worked out a formula for controlling the disease with herbs. This disease is also inseparable from medicine. Purchasing finished medicines is a bottomless pit that rural families can hardly afford.

No, my aunt suffered from it in her thirties and looked everywhere, but the medical care was not as good as it is now, and now in her sixties she is in a wheelchair, can't stand up, and all her joints are deformed and can't be straightened!
