Hello Shl!
I think I can help you with some advice.
I have been suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis and osteo arthrosis for about 20 years. Finally, I managed to cure myself through a low acid-diet and it also helps for AS.
The rheumatic patient is at the origin of his own condition and he alone is able to remove its cause by a drastic change in his diet. For most rheumatic conditions are due to a kind of food poisoning by acids. It sounds rather revolutionary, in that way, that all the food that normally is advised as healthy is a real poison for rheumatic patients. And that is in fact the reason why doctors can’t find the cause of rheumatism. They never look for the cause in the food, and certainly not in the almost -so-called healthy food-. Rheumatism is most frequently due to an accumulation of acids. Acids dissolve the calcium in the body. The only way to cure rheumatism is to give your body the opportunity to rid itself of the accumulated acids without adding new ones. The worst acids are those from foods that actually taste sour, such as wine, cider, fruit juice, buttermilk, yogurt, curd cheese, Molkosan, vinegar, lemon, oranges, grapefruit, kiwi, other acid fruit, rhubarb and tomatoes. It is advisable to take daily a teaspoon of cod-liver oil, pure without additives. It is thought to suppress inflammation and it is restoring the oil and the cartilage of the joints.
After my recovery, I could not bear the thought that I knew how to cure rheumatic pains in a way, which was both natural and sound, and was doing anything with it. I wanted to help others as well. I have published the history of my recovery in a book. The title is -Cured of Rheumatism through Diet-. The author is Jeanine Van Belle and the publisher is Ennsthaler. It is available in the UK, the US and in Canada. You can find information about the book on: http://home.tiscali.be/reumaboek and also on :

Good luck!
