Throw in some chicken feet and the eye of a newt and you've got a potion that'll cure any RA! I don't see how raw liver would be good since they say diet-wise that you should stay away from eating meat because "Fats from animal foods enhance the production of certain chemicals in the body that produce inflammation, and several studies have shown that people with RA improve on a vegetarian diet” (Bastyr Center for Natural Health). (That's from my 1/26 post about diet). The weird stuff people come up with. hu? Raw liver?! That sounds way too much like some witch’s cure.

I had an MD recently recommedn Barlean's fish oil, which ahs less mercury than the stuff you get at the grocery or drug store, and is not in a pill, but jsut straight oil, so you can take a teaspoon or just squirt some in your mouth (I'm too lazy to wash an extra spoon LOL). I take a Barlean's that is a mix of fish and flax. it is also supposed ot help lift your mood, and i think it keeps me regular (TMI...) i also take green magma, which is mostly barleey greens, stuff i couldn't stand to eat, but goes down just fine as a drink. wishing you continued success and improved health!
