WHAT IS RA?

For Western Medical Theory

What is rheumatoid arthritis (RA)?

RA is a chronic disease that causes pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of function in the joints. It is the most common type of autoimmune arthritis. It occurs when your immune system, the system that protects your body from outside harm, like virus, mistakenly starts attacking healthy tissue.

What’s going on inside your body?

Autoimmune system is designed to protect your body from many different harmful things. Under normal conditions, the immune system fights unwanted invaders such as viruses and bacteria. But if body’s immune system malfunctions, not working right, it can also make you sick. As a result of this inappropriate immune response, white blood cells travel blindly to your joints, producing certain proteins, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), IL-6, interleukin-1, and others, that, over time, can signal cells to attack healthy tissue. If not managed properly, it can cause ongoing destruction of cartilage, bone, and other joint-related tissues .Finally even result in permanent joint destruction.
