Program Overview
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory type of arthritis characterized by severe joint pain, inflammation and loss of mobility -- particularly within the hands of middle age to elderly women. Symptoms often come and go and can affect other body parts, such as the eyes, mouth and lungs. The causes of RA is unknown, although it's categorized as an autoimmune disease because it appears that the immune system is attacking its own tissues. Genetics, hormones, environment, diet and gastrointestinal health are all related factors. An estimated 1.5 to 2 million American adults currently suffer from RA. There are natural remedies, lifestyle changes and pharmaceutical treatments that help reduce the symptoms of RA and slow its progression.
