We have excellent results with RA and I would highly recommend you seek treatment. Personally we use a combination of acupuncture, tuina (chinese medical massage) and occasionally herbal medicine, cupping and/or bloodletting. I do think the tuina part of the treatments is crucial but that is my own bias based on the system of acupuncture I use and the responses I&#39ve seen clinically. If you cannot find an acupuncturist in your area who does tuina as well, you could combine the treatments with a massage therapist - ideally one who is more medically oriented than a "spa" style treatment.

In addition to consulting with an acupuncturist/Tuina practitioner I suggest you get a copy of Donna Eden&#39s book "Energy Medicine". In general, for autoimmune conditions you want to balance Triple Warmer and Spleen meridians. Together they operate the immune system. Triple Warmer gets over-reactive when there is too much stress, and when this happens Spleen is depleted and the immune system is overwhelmed and less effective. You also want to do the exercises for homolateral repatterning and unscrambling energy, all of which are described in her book. Grounding your energy is very important, as nothing works well if you are "out of body."

As well, I have written many articles posted on this website that give detailed instruction for some of these exercises. You can do a search on this site for "judith poole" to find articles that are of interest to you.

I have been applying these and other energy based techniques myself to successfully treat the autoimmune condition "Crohn&#39s disease", of which I now have no remaining trace. In my practice I find it very common that there is some kind of trauma in the background of people who develop autoimmune conditions. In my practice I see evidence daily of the relationship between thoughts, emotions, past traumas, and current conditions, especially in those diagnosed with so-called "chronic" and "autoimmune" issues. These complex issues have causes and effects on multiple levels - spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical - all of which can be approached with gentle energetic interventions.

if you wish, I would be happy to consult with you by telephone. If you&#39re interested you can send a message to me through this website. All best healing wishes.

Massaging both wrist joints for 3-5 minutes, 2-3 times a day helps to provide relief not only in RA but in many other problems of the system automatically.
