meat- less a help for arthritis?

[Guest guest]

Hi Candi...and All

 

Just a quick shout out from Oregon. I didn't want to take a lot off the group

time but am a life long Oregonian and am in Sisters, for the summer.

[Now we are retired to AZ for part of the year, but I still count myself as an

" OR gal. " ]

 

I just heard today that being a non meat-eater may be a helpful thing for

arthritis sufferers. I don't take my pain meds, only OTC, ibuprophen, now, after

being very dedicated for nearly 6 months.

So maybe it IS a help?

 

My enjoyment of vegetarian dishes, is learning to make my own meat substitutes

and non meat meals. I buy commercial non meats but am learning a lot from this

groups about " manufacturing " my own!

 

My DH has actually come a long way to join me in our veg-style for more than 80%

of his meals.

 

Thanks for everyone's suggestions and ideas.

PS:

My granddaughter is a lifelong veg, and is now almost 18.

Hi Barbara.

Sounds like another health benefit... never heard that before, but I'm glad

it helps you! I'd be interested to know exactly what is in meat that can

aggravate arthritis...

I'm not really dependent on meat substitutes (I can go several days without

using them, depending on traditional vegetable sources for protein -- beans

and rice) but I do like them because it means I can make the meals my mom

made when I was growing up -- and they're all less greasy!!!

I've got a great hot chicken salad recipe I'll have to post. I use Quorn

naked fake chicken cutlets.

Try a Google search, as far as I've read nightshade (tomatoes,

potatoes, eggplant) vegetables and meat contribute to immune disease

pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue.

I got sick with chronic fatigue in 1987. I went into remission in

1989. I was not diagnosed appropriately until 1993. In the meantime,

I was desperately looking for answers. After I was diagnosed, I

discovered in the literature that my vegetarian diet was one of the

reasons that I recovered much more quickly than others. I also

recommend meditation and herbal medicine.

Kathleen, would you mind emailing me off list about this topic? I'm really

interested. If you don't have time, I understand!
