Can Rheumatoid Arthritis Be Cured?
by Perry Chapdelaine, Executive Director/Secretary

You've been told that rheumatoid arthritis and other forms of arthritis are not curable. That's false!

I had "galloping" rheumatoid arthritis in the late 70's and early 80's. My doctor said I would soon be crippled. I recovered with the use of recommended treatments and the grace of God and have been
well since!

Are you filled with pain day and night, and want relief? Do you view the future as a cripple, suffering
from constantly decreasing abilities? Do you want to stop this crippling? Do you or your child live pain
free for but minutes each day and then only at the will of a drug, a doctor, or by courtesy of a fat pocketbook? Especially are you a person who wants relief from this centuries-long scourge?
