I am thinking of exploring this option - but not sure if it will make much difference - has anyone done this already and did your R.A. improve?

Members who relocated to warmer, drier climates like Phoenix and Florida shared that while the move helped reduce joint stiffness and pain, it was not a miracle cure, and factors like stress, humidity, and barometric pressure still played significant roles in their symptoms. Several members emphasized that lower humidity and stable barometric pressure made the biggest difference, with one member feeling dramatically better during a Caribbean vacation and another noticing improvements after moving from Indiana to a higher elevation area, though stress later triggered a return of symptoms. A recurring theme was that the decision to relocate is deeply personal and complex, requiring individuals to weigh potential symptom relief against leaving behind family, friends, and established support systems.

Each person must weigh the pluses and minus' what works for one may not be useful for the other. Humidity is a big no-no for me. Phoenix does have humidity during the summer rains, but not as bad as some states!My next consideration was bugs! Hugs to ALL!!

I've also considered moving to warmer climate. But Humidity is a killer for me. However the sunshine makes me smile and that helps so I will be spending more time in a warmer climes

I I am also a celiac. Which means I'm allergic to gluten. Even a crumb of regular flour can make me really ill I have been hospitalized three times for it. She had mentioned casually at the clinic that that could possibly go away also. I have actually made three mistakes recently including a fairly large dose of regular flour and did not get sick. I'm not going to test it on purpose but I am very excited that It can cure celiac disease as well which is unheard of.

immunotherapy I do with the Hoxsey clinic in Tijuana Mexico. The clinic is famous for curing cancer and if you go to their website that's all they really talk about there's one little section that says they treat autoimmune disease. My friend went for stage four cancer and looked into the immunotherapy for me and I went last September and have been in remission since. The treatment is somewhat complicated. They take your blood, they alter it and then you inject it back into yourself in shots. If you are truly interested I can email you an article that is similar to it that they studied in the United States but they said it was not cost-effective to do per patient and they wanted to do it on a broader scale where they could just do it across thousands of patients but it doesn't really work that way. It has to be with each patients blood. I was very leery about getting treatment in Mexico but after visiting there and meeting dozens of people that had stage four cancer that were terminally ill and were cured my worries were laid to rest. One lady from Italy was returning for a checkup had been cancer free for over 30 years now. I watch the documentary on the clinic and did a lot of homework before I went. You can also talk to the doctors on the phone before you go. The cost was very affordable. My last infusion cost me $8000 after insurance and the entire visit to Mexico including Labs, doctors, and medicine and supplements for six months cost me $2500. They even shuttle you across the border, you stay in San Diego. Never in a million years would I think I would do something like that but I am so glad I did. I have a PDF of the diet that I could email you also here is my email address just shoot me an email and I will respond with the information. (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) I just had my knuckles replaced do to prior damage from RA that I have needed for years but was finally well enough for surgery so this talk/text thing on my iPad isn't the best. Hope this all makes sense. I wish everyone knew of this treatment option, it is not the easiest by far but it is natural and works... best wishes ❤

We live in Canada. We're planning a move to Florida in about two years hoping it'll help.
