In the meantime, I've been researching and taking certain measures. (Fortunately, a blood test came back with negative results for rheumatism, so that was good news. Now it's just arthrosis I'm dealing with, as determined from X-rays.) Three months ago I began taking glucosamine-chondroitin 3 times a day. I felt little improvement as such, but over the past two weeks I've noticed a definite difference after I began to add fish oil and primrose oil capsules, along with - and I believe this is the most important - an apple vinegar + honey drink 3 times a day. I also have a freshly made vegetable drink daily (e.g., carrots, broccoli, celery, parsley, etc.). In addition, I've dropped all of the deadly nightshade veggies and now just drink decaffeinated tea or herbal/fruit teas. (I don't drink coffee or eat chocolate, meat, dairy products, sugar, and so on.) Up till a couple of months ago I couldn't walk (or be on my feet in any situation) for more than half an hour without discomfort, especially in the right foot. After 2 hours or more the pain became excruciating and I could scarcely walk. Late on the Saturday afternoon before last I realised that I'd been on my feet all day (doing things around the house and so on) and hadn't felt any discomfort at all. On this past weekend I was wandering around in town, and only after 4 hours did I feel the beginnings of discomfort. This of course has been very encouraging. I strongly encourage anyone with arthritis/arthrosis or arthritis-related complaints to read "Curing Arthritis the Drug-free Way" by Margaret Hills. Although she wasn't a raw-fooder as we know them today (she was born in the 1920s), she continually recommended eating mainly raw foods and avoiding dairy products, sugar, caffeine, chocolate, and so forth. I hope my experience can be of help to someone else. Donna Re: Rheumatoid arthritis: Best fruits & veggies?

Date: March 22, 2007 04:57AM Hello, I am a first timer and have been on 75% raw since Dec. because of EBV virus (that is the epstein barr virus) which is only 1. on the blood test; does anybody have this issue to deal with? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
