Sometimes our bodies go through a 'healing crisis' where our symptoms get worse before they get better. It's possible that this is what your wife was experiencing. When a healing crisis occurs, it could last anywhere from several hours to several days- even as long as a week. I'd really encourage your wife to stick it out and see if there's improvement after 7-10 days. Drinking lots of water during this time could be helpful.

Stop the H2O2. For RA, your wife should be 100% gluten-free. Turmeric can help greatly with the inflammation. I make my own turmeric caps with organic turmeric bought in bulk online. I add a little black pepper to the turmeric (the piperine in pepper greatly aids the absorption of turmeric). Turmeric is fat-soluble, so take it with a little fat (any kind).

I agree! Turmeric and Gluten Free are the way to go. Also - Take a Boron supplement! It is cheap, and it really works for me!
Studies are starting to show that Boron may be of great value to arthritis sufferers - web search it!
Here is a link to one pdf article on the subject:

Good Luck!

Are you sure it isn’t a detox crisis? Perhaps it is something that needs to be evaluated and dosage adjusted.
