The cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis

For 26 years I had RA and was treated with Methotrexate. 4 years ago, I discovered 2 scientific facts. The first was well known and that is that Vitamin D is the only substance that fights inflammation in the skeletal joints in the human body. Which is the definition of RA. But turns out to be difficult to obtain because everyone is using Vit. D with poor results including me. I happen to come across two articles on the only substance that metabolizes the Vit. D in the blood so it can be used by 300 functions in the body. That substance is Magnesium. So, low Magnesium leads to low Vit. D which leads to joint inflammation which is the definition of RA. So, after getting on a daily dose of Vit D3 And Magnesium I have been RA free for 4 years. Summary. The root cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis is a deficiency in Vitamin D & a deficiency in Magnesium. It is not an Auto-immune system disease. Are you ready for the best part? it comes with a price tag of less than $5 per month for over the counter Vit. D and Magnesium. I can detail this more in future posts.

I have a blog completely dedicated to the cause of RA. The link is rabegone.com. It does not have any commercial value and does not try to sell you anything. It was created to eliminate Rheumatoid Arthritis so that the next generation would not go thru the same thing that greatly reduced my quality of life. After reading my blog I would appreciate any feedback you might give me.

Thanks so much for sharing your story here George! You bring up a great point about RA and Vitamin D. While we do like to keep in mind different treatments work differently for everyone, glad to hear you are feeling better. Also, we encourage our community members to talk to their Rheumatologist about about their RA and their current treatments. Thanks for sharing your blog with us you certainly are bringing an awareness to so many about RA and we welcome that anytime. Again, glad to hear you are feeling better. Warmly, Lauren (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team)

 Lauren, I want to correct your statement. The reason I feel better is because I am cured of RA. I did this on my own without the help from any Rheumatologist who only treat the effect of RA. The Vitamin D and Magnesium treatment is treating the cause of RA. It is not restricted to one group or sex. It prevents RA, it stops RA and it Reverses RA, even removing modules of swelling from hands and shoulders. And as long as the treatments continue it is permanent. As far as going to a Rheumatologist, I have a 4 year head start on the cause of RA. When they find out that RA is not an immune system disease and that it is Vitamin and mineral disease then we will be on our way to eliminating Rheumatoid Arthritis. Which we could do in 5 years or less. All we need is to get the word out. I have dedicated the rest of my days to see that happens. There is no reason anyone has to go thru RA ever again. Will you help get the word out? Best wishes. George Ireton

 George, Thanks for taking the time to provide a response to me. I am happy to hear you are not experiencing those common RA symptoms anymore. Right now, there is no scientific consensus on a cure for RA and while one thing helps you it may not help for others, but you feeling better is wonderful news! I do appreciate you letting others know that it is important to talk with their Dr and proceed with caution. Thanks again for sharing. Warmly, Lauren (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team)

Hi, Very curious about the Vitamin D and Magnesium deficiency. I know I have a Vitamin D deficiency. So how much Vitamin D are you taking. What about the Magnesium?
1. jackriley Member
 Good evening, when I first got into taking Magnesium with Vitamin D, my dose was 8000 IU of Vitamin D3 with 1600 mg of Magnesium, both over the counter from your local Pharmacy I have this disclaimer. I cannot be your Dr. I can only tell you what you what works for me. Before starting a regimen of D3 and Magnesium the patent should get a blood test for both to set a base line. My present daily maintenance dose is 5000 IU of D3 and 1200 mg of Magnesium. I have been RA free for 4 years. Goto my blog at <a href='https://rabegone.com' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>rabegone.com</a>. Good luck.

 I already take vitamin D3 2000 IU and will talk to my rheumatologist regarding the Magnesium. Worth a try, right?

I have been taking 8,000mg and magnesium for years. I am I’m the worst pain ever. What works for you may not work for others.

 Until you determine your blood levels of Vitamin D and Magnesium, you will not be able to determine your program with your Dr. going forward. The Root Cause of RA is a deficiency in Vitamin D and Magnesium. All other treatments treat the effect of RA.

Its a nice theory but it doesn't fly. My magnesium level is on the high end of normal. My vit d is depleted all the time so much that I must take 50000 units per week. I am still in excruciating pain. The only thing that moderates the pain is biologics and dmards. You are setting yourself up for a very big and bad pain surprise.

Most, if not all RA patients have virtually no vitamin D. Unless you can take the sun. The sole purpose of vitamin D is to absorb calcium. That's why there is Vit D in whole milk. I'm glad you are in remission, but it's the magnesium, or your diet or who knows what you are doing right. Every RA patient is different. Some meds work for some, some diets work for some. I hope you keep doing whatever you're doing and stay in remission for the rest of your life. Good for you!
