This article will detail a psoriatic arthritis diet approach to management of the condition. After being diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis I remember being given a 2 page handout about the medication the doctors wanted me to take to manage my condition. I remember the opening line of the handout saying something along the lines of ‘we are not really sure of the mechanism behind how this drug helps psoriatic arthritis, but it does’. Then I remember looking at the list of potential side effects from the medication, it was nearly worse than the psoriatic arthritis itself. For goodness sakes, it recommended that I needed to have regular blood test to check my liver wasn’t forming tumors.

I knew taking medicine was not an option. I figured my actions and lifestyle had resulted in my current state and that I could reverse that and get myself out of it. The father of modern medicine, Hippocrates once said ‘let food be thy medicine’. I definitely acknowledge other factors in psoriatic arthritis, and these are addressed in other articles, but this article will deal with a psoriatic arthritis diet approach. Psoriatic arthritis is classified as an auto-immune disease; the body is hypersensitive and is destroying its own tissue. The cure cannot be to pump it full of toxic drugs and medications.

The following article will discuss a psoriatic arthritis diet that can be used to help the symptoms of the disease. I remember after my diagnosis of the condition being given a 2 page handout explaining the suggested medication for psoriatic arthritis. Early on in the handout it was simply stated that they were not really sure how the drug helped the arthritis but it did. I recall the list of potential side effects just kept going on and on, among them cancer of the liver, in the end it almost seemed worse than having psoriatic arthritis in the first place. A treatment that potentially leads to other diseases like cancer sounds like your just swapping one disorder for the other.

I knew that I would never take medication for this condition. I felt that I had gotten my body into this mess with my lifestyle and eating habits and I would get myself out of it. As Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine said ‘let food be thy medicine’. While there certainly are other factors that play a role in promoting psoriatic arthritis, which will be covered in other articles, this article will focus on a psoriatic arthritis diet. Psoriatic arthritis is an auto-immune disorder, where the body has become hypersensitive and is attacking its own tissue. I do not think the answer for this condition is to laden the body with harmful and toxic drugs.

Arthritis literally means ‘inflammation of the joints’. The term has been derived from two Greek words, ‘athron’ (which means joints) and ‘itis’ (which means inflammation). A chronic disease, arthritis can be classified into various types, two being the most commonly found – osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The former usually occurs in the older people, when their joints become week.
