Nothing on RA I guess. Does anybody talk about it here and whether a parasite might be involved. Does Gigi come here anymore

The fact thst ra responds to abx makes it possible a bacteria, parasite, whatever is involved

RA has several possible pathogens. Lyme is one, mycoplasma is another. Mycobacterium of one strain or another is one more possibility.

There are others but I don't recall what they are off hand. The only practical way to treat all the possible pathogens is using a Rife device. Getting an oral treatment to the joints where there is little blood flow is pretty difficult.

Here is an article concerning RA and mycoplasma.

Concerning glucosamine. I am wondering how glucosamine would affect those of us with a mycoplasma infection. It seems some strains consume this?

Any scientists out there?

I am trying this for my lyme induced RA. I am on week 3. Hubby thinks I am nuts. [Big Grin] I felt normal yesterday or the most normal I have felt in a year. Will it last??

Is it the glucosamine, or abx working?? Who knows, but I will take it just for today.

Thanks for the responses and I hope I do not go too far in discussing RA. I have had very sudden and somewhat sever onset of cysts of finger and toe joints and redness near the nail bed with some numbness in fingertips bottoms of feet etc, but close to nothing in what seems like real joint pain. I have some occasional small kind of shooting joint pain, but it seems to come only from where cysts exist and its is not correlated with moving those joints. Apparently there is a version of RF sero-negative arthritis where people get cysts, but not degeneration of the the joints. I am still waiting for a test by the way I do not know yet whether extra articular developments like cysts on lungs and heart tissue are part of this version, if that is indeed what I have remains unclear to me Joseph Mercola has a protocol based on some of the theories the pioneers of this mycoplasma have established. Good luck Ir26 and keep us posted

Hi ir26. I bought some after seeing this, but have yet to take it. What dose are you taking? Good luck.
