There is no evidence to support ONE concept as being the cure for RA. You think like a medical doctor trying to find ONE molecule (drug) that will cure the same symptom in everyone when they have the same symptom for different reasons! I use probiotics, nutrition, diet changes, no dairy/gluten and specific lab tests (food allergy) to effect changes in the body that have all been studied for decades. It the connecting of the dots of many studies, not specific studies you should be looking for.

Holistic Doc is also plain dishonest. Not only do searches in Medline, etc find little supporting literature (the only study with probiotics in RA found them INEFFECTIVE), but the NIH's Center for Alternative and Complementary Medicine says there is no evidence for what he says.

So, because medical research is done by doctors...you are saying that all doctors do medical research. I have chosen not to do research because I like the clinical setting better. There are plenty of docs to do the research.The research is there, you just haven't looked in the right place. It's not my job to provide that to you. Search MedLine or Medscape for the topics that interest you...such as "RA food allergy" or "RA gluten" for starters. There will be more than you have time to read.

I am curious to know the truth of your claims, rather than trying to diminish you! I don't understand your comment about being a "doctor, not a researcher" - most clinical research is done by medical doctors (I note that you are a doctor of chiropractic, not medicine). I can find little substantive evidence on Medline/Medscape. One paper on vegan diet found significant clinical improvement, but no reduction in evidence of radiological destruction.So there appears to be little to read or learn.

Nice try. The studies have been done. I don't need to do that as I am a doctor, not a researcher. Any aspect of my recommendations have been studied for years. Go to Medline or Medscape and search "RA food allergy". Search "RA probiotics". Search "RA lactose". Search "RA gluten". Search anything else to do with my protocol. You will have more to read than you have time for. Nice attempt to distract the topic and diminish me. Kindly get back to us after you have learned something.

I presume that "Dr Dahlmann" has done extensive research into the molecular biology of R.A. and has peer-reviewed, randomised controlled trials of the results of his therapy? If so, would he kindly direct us to his publications? |
