Rheumatoid arthritis doesn't happen to people because of a lack of turmeric or MSM powder in their diets. RA happens when genetically prone people ingest lectins.

The solution? ......Stop ingesting lectins, along with the carbohydrates which cause undigested foods to enter the bloodstream.

Lectins are extremely sticky proteins which the immune system can react to. Cartilage cells attract lectins from foods like wheat, beans and potatoes. The immune system recognizes the lectins as an infection. The immune system attacks the lectin molecules, and attacks the cartilage they cling to.

The old medical saw which says autoimmune diseases happen when the immune system attacks "self" tissue by mistaking it for "not-self" antigens is simply false. The immune system is far smarter than that. RA represents the immune system performing its job. RA sufferers are simply over-taxing their immune systems.
