Here's a summary of events.
2005 - Diagnosed with RA
I've tried methotrexate, plaquinil, sulphasalazine, and now on Enbrel (1 injection every 2 weeks)
2007 - Trip to China for 4 months and RA went into remission
2010 - Pregnant while on Enbrel
Here we are in year 2011 and the birth of my baby has given me a reason beyond myself to be healthy and seek a cure for this disease.
In march I tried Acupunture to treat the inflamed joints and it was useless; rather it made my joints worse!
The chinese medical practitioner aslo recommended me herbal medication; but did not email me the ingredients as I asked, so I gave up on him.
In April, I booked my self in to see a Natural Path. - He booked me in for a blood test and below are my results, which I just got today. Surprise suprise! I'm allergic to my favorite foods - so weird.
Basically, the numbers to the left indicate the number of antibodies my body produces to fight the particular food allergen - for example EGGS
My body has developed 2472 antibodies to fight EGGS. The normal level should be only 111.
Taking a look at the number of foods that are in the avoid category, no wonder why my immune system is on overdrive! (by the way this is only page 1, the entire report is 4 pages)

Additional Supplements presribed by Natural Path
I have never popped so many pills in my life; but for the sake of healing I will. So here goes:
- Rehmannia & Scrophularia Herbal Supplement (2 pills, 3 times /day)
- Curcumin SAP antioxidant (1 pill, 3 times / day)
- Recovery SAP probiotics (1 pill / day)
- EGCG SAP ultra antioxidant (1pill, 3 times / day)
- Omega - D3 Liquid (1 tsp, 2 times / day)
In addtion, I am continuing with Enbrel injection twice a month.
The Natural Path doctor reassured me that the supplements will not harm my baby; rather be very good for him too.
Next Action: continue with Enbrel twice / week, supplements per above for 1 month, try my best to stick to this new diet
