Natural medicines that will work with Rare Auto immune disease??

[Guest guest]

Hi all this is my first post and I was hoping you might be able to help

guide me to some natural medicine that reduce inflammation in the

joints caused by a rare auto immune disease? I'm confused by all thats

out there and have been advised to take Ultra Inflam X anyone with

experience with this?

 

Thanks,

Hi Mandi,

 

One thing to consider is fish oil or flax (linseed) oil - Omega 3 fatty

acids are used to produce type 1 prostaglandins in the body which are

anti-inflammatory in action.

 

And reduce the sources of arachidonic acid (i.e. red meat) and type 2

prostaglandins - this means generally Omega 6 fatty acids which are

sourced from polyunsaturated plant oils and fats. These are more

inflammatory in action.

 

Note that olive oil is still ok as it is a MONOunsaturated plant oil.

And Omega 6 fatty acids such as Evening Primrose Oil are still

beneficial for some people. I am simple saying here that in the case

of someone with inflammatory conditions is better to favour Omega 3

fatty acids over Omega 6 fatty acids.

 

 

Hope this helps,

Sharon

Should have also added that bromelain is also a good anti-inflammatory

agent.
