Dr. J on Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms

Dr. J. will occasionally post on CureZone to answer questions and post helpful information. I was so excited when he said yes when I asked him to. This post is an answer that he gave to a woman who is convinced that her Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosis is the result of her Mirena. The symptoms began immediately after insertion. It wouldn't surprise me...I still deal with chronic lower back issues ever since insertion, and I have some days throughout the month where my joints and bones hurt so much that I have to sit down after walking up my stairs because my legs hurt so bad. I had NONE of these issues until after the Mirena was inserted. The horrible lower back pain was one of my very first symptoms. Anyway.....here is his response. I hope it helps you out!
___________________________
RA, Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease. All autoimmune diseases are from what is called unmethylated DNA
Whatever damage the mirena did to your system it affected the cell membranes and nuclear membranes of your cells(the membrane holds the stuff inside the cell, then the nuclear membrane holds the nucleus of the cell and its contents, DNA) When the DNA leaks out of the cells your body attacks it because it is not supposed to be there. This is your immune system turning on you. What has to be done is to get your liver to methylate the DNA and detox it out of your system, and this is done in Phase I and II stages of detox and is accomplished with cruciferous vegetables concentrated in a pill. Also needed is the build up of your cellular membranes and this is done with oils, Tuna oil, cod liver oil, Black currant seed oil, wheat germ oil, evening primrose oil. I am attaching a list of what is good to eat to help your liver detox. If you have questions about what nutrition to take, just email me
Hope this helps
