摘要: Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease involving chronic inflammation of the joints. Conventional treatment often involves early use DMARDS, many which have potentially toxic side-effects. For some patients, acupuncture may offer a creative alternative. Drawing from theory and personal experience, authors suggest that integrated approach, including acupuncture, functional other energetic approaches, can occasionally reverse process.
