I have RA and due to problems with the medication upsetting my body, I cannot take any Med until my bloods have come back and they are clear, how ever my RA is very progressive and rather than rely on just painkillers etc, i did a read upon foods that help, So i started on the cherries (10) and with in half and hour i notice that the pain and swelling was easing, so if you are in a some discomfort try them..

    Hi Jane; yes I agree with this, too.  I had read re the benefits of cherries, and try to buy them when doing my shopping (hard part is always having fresh cherries on shelves/availability)....and do find that they help with the joint/muscle pains (I don't have Rhuematoid, but Osteo and Fibro, mainly)....I have just read another lady's input re MSM, and after doing the research on that, I am seriously thinking of trialing this, too...as the Sulphur is helpful for Inflammation/degeneration of muscles/joints and repair of Connective tissues...I am wanting to try any Natural therapies in order to be able to decrease my intake of meds.....thankyou...........Bron
