A gluten-free, whole foods diet may help the stiffness and RA, but I don't have any specific diet I could recommend. Gluten can cause inflammation (as well as dairy and sugar, like you mentioned), so eliminating those is a great start. Thanks for contributing to the conversation. I appreciate it! Wishing you all the best! Melissa Hi Karen,

I had been on the drug Methatrexate for Rheumatoid Arthiritis for approximately 2 years prior to the lymphoma diagnosis in March of 2012. Anyway, I'm tired of the "drugs" that are suppose to help but only hurt and am trying alternatives such as Green Smoothies, going Gluten Free as well as Dairy and now Sugar free. Not easy. Do you have any information on where I could find a "diet" plan that would fit my criteria and help reduce the bloody stiffness in my fingers, knees, elbows, shoulders and feet? Thanks a million in advance, should have been paying more attention back in the 60s and 70s. Karen I recently won a battle with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma.

Especially since it's a concept that I was pondering in yoga class last night, where we did a lot of pranayama and conscious filling of the lungs from different sides and directions. I realized that since I can't see the inside parts of my body, it's hard for me to (in the absence of pain) really feel them. My heart, for instance. Or my lungs, or kidneys. I mostly just imagine them. But breath - that's something I do feel, at least inside my nose, and my throat. Beyond that, I'm not sure if I'm feeling it in my actual lungs, but certainly I do HAVE actual lungs, lol. And a heart, and kidneys. So shouldn't FEELing these parts of me be possible, too? It's so cool to think about. And try to do...so different than just focusing on surface, and the easily seen/known... This is really interesting, Melissa.

I was 0.72 so I'm on my way! Thanks for sharing such a cool formula. It felt amazing when I realized I had the power to KNOW when my heart was beating. Oooh, I loved this!
