Arthritis

07/04/2014 by wellbeing

One in fifty people in the United Kingdom suffers from rheumatoid arthritis alone. This does not include rheumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis and similar conditions. Many people think it is a disease without hope: as one paper puts it, “The cause is unknown and there is no cure”. Practitioners of Chinese medicine take a different view. We think rheumatoid arthritis and all other types of arthritis are controllable and reducible, if not completely curable. Appropriate medical care is important for all sufferers, no matter how mild or severe the case is. The condition and overall state of health can deteriorate very quickly if the arthritis is not addressed.
