RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND CANCER: WHAT'S THE CONNECTION

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND CANCER: WHAT'S THE CONNECTION
By Ty Bollinger
ARTICLE SUMMARY
  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a painful and often serious autoimmune disease that affects an estimated 1.5 million adults in the U.S.
  • The good news is that both Rheumatoid Arthritis and cancer are chronic conditions that can respond extremely well to dietary changes, lifestyle tweaks, and natural healing modalities which work with the body’s natural repair and healing mechanisms.
  • Women are more likely to be afflicted by Rheumatoid Arthritis than men. Most women begin to feel the effects of RA at a median age of 45, while men tend to get it later in life.
  • The cause of RA is epigenetic − meaning it is mostly caused by factors in a person’s environment. Toxic exposure, bad dietary choices, emotional wounding, chronic stress, and poor intestinal health are all contributors to heightened inflammatory responses that can lead to autoimmune disease.
  • Research has shown that people with RA are at a higher risk of both non-Hodgkin’s and Hodgkin’s disease as well as myeloma (a rare form of cancer that affects the white blood cells). Perhaps the biggest cancer risk for those with RA, however, are the medications that are typically prescribed to treat it: NSAIDS, DMARDs, Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) meds, and corticosteroid injections.
  • Your immune system has the ability to heal when given the right circumstances and environments to do so. In addition to following an anti-inflammatory diet with lots of veggies which are naturally anti-inflammatory, here are three easy protocols to consider for reducing pain and even HEALING yourself of RA:
    • Strengthen Your Gut
    • Gentle Mindfulness Movements
    • Take Key Anti-Inflammatory Substances/Supplements such as turmeric, ginger, and garlic
