Abstract: Compositions and methods for relieving symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and related illnesses are disclosed. It appears that the primary cause of RA is a sensitivity or hypersensitivity to potassium and/or vitamin C, or too much potassium and/or vitamin C in the diet. The effects of potassium and vitamin C on the body must be modified to relieve the symptoms of RA and related illnesses. It appears that magnesium does not cause the inflammation, but appears that it exacerbates the problem. It appears that calcium and vitamin D intake, possibly in combination with the reduced or no intake of potassium and/or vitamin C, may also help to relieve the symptoms of RA and related illnesses.

Abstract: A cause and cure for Rheumatiod Arthritis which includes the body becoming acid and retaining fluids as a means of diluting said acid. Calcium with adequate vitamin D for absorption neutralizes said acid and brings the body back in balance. In addition, an overabundance of the mineral potassium slows the removal of fluid from the body causing fluid to be retained and stored in the joints and soft tissues. Said storage of retained fluid is what causes the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and related illnesses and even fibromyalgia and headaches. Joints become swollen and prolonged inflammation results in joint deformity. Said abundance of potassium also causes an imbalance of other minerals in the body, especially sodium, resulting in dehydration. Water and balanced electrolytes must be added to correct the problem.
