    I have suspected a problem with my magnesium levels for over 20 years. Magnesium supplements not only do not help but if you take the wrong ones, they can make things worse.

    I’m amazed at what I learn from helping my mother and son with their disease. Mom may have Pseudogout. Which is a problem with calcium phosphate crystals depositing in her joints.

    Pain and itching are also symptoms of Psoriatic Arthritis This research is complex for the layperson, but I’m saving it here for future reference because it overlaps my disease in that it addresses T cells and lymphoma.

    Plastics and Autoimmune Disease I have wanted to look for research that connected plastics to inflammation because the use of plastics and epidemic of inflammatory diseases coincide.
