Patient Report: Evidence
that Intravenous Administration of Glutathione and Vitamin C Relieved
Acute Pain from Rheumatoid Arthritis Flare
by Katherine L. Molnar-Kimber, PhD, and
Harold E. Buttram, MD
Rheumatoid arthritis flares are extraordinarily painful attacks
in a patient’s joints. Although no one cause of this disease
activity has been identified, patients with rheumatoid arthritis
have been shown to have lower antioxidant levels. And – as
evidenced by the patient report accompanying this article –
intravenous administration of glutathione and vitamin C has been
shown to radically reduce the acute pain of an RA flare.
The Use of Minocycline
in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis
by Beth A. Malley, RN, CCRC
Although currently not common practice, the use of minocycline for
patients with mild rheumatoid arthritis should gain ground. Over
the last 40 years, antibiotics from the tetracycline family, specifically
minocycline, have been researched for treatment of RA, revealing
a significant positive effect. In contrast to other more expensive
options, many of which carry notable side effects, minocycline appears
as a safe, effective, and low-cost treatment alternative.

by David A. Steenblock, MS, DO
In this case study of a 39-year-old male with Huntington's Disease,
the author reviews a therapeutic approach that culminated in a highly
successful autologous whole bone marrow therapy and raises the possibility
that such a treatment, given more frequently, might be even more
efficacious.
The Answer to Multiple
Sclerosis Is Diet
by Ann D. Sawyer
With divergent causes and disease patterns and widely varying symptoms,
the defining feature of Multiple Sclerosis is the disease’s
inability to fit a simple paradigm. Consequently, an equally straightforward
cure has proven elusive. Simple dietary changes, however, alter
the fundamental processes underlying this disease state, arresting
the disease itself and allowing the body to heal and repair itself.
The author, a former MS patient, reviews the fundamentals of MS
and presents the healing diet that dramatically altered her life.
