TG,

I know I only read the book ( http://forums.jpfitness.com/showflat...0#Post22054938 ) the other day, but I already believed a lot of the "paleo" dietary theory after reading from Berardi and our good Doctor Williams over the past year or so.

First, I have absolutely no training of any sort involving fitness or nutrition, so this is just a normal (in theory) guy writing this...

That being said, there might be a link between inflammation in the joints (among other things) and a high acid level (acidosis) in the blood and other bodily fluids. I never really cared about acid/base balance. I tried to eat veggies with every meal and I add baking soda to my protein shakes, but other than that, big whoop, right?

I was turned off by the first Paleo Diet book, as it had no relevence to anyone who does physical activity, but the 2nd book (above) did a good job of convincing me. I might even go buy the 1st book, just for the details within.

Anyhow, one has to decide for him/herself. There are no quick fixes and cure-alls, but I can't NOT send this info to you.

Out of curiosity, I used google and found an article on over-acidity and rheumatoid arthritis. Worth a glance.

By the way, the book I've linked at the top doesn't claim any cures or preventions of your ailment. In fact, there's no mention of it in the book. This is my reading of the book and other articles and linking these things in my mind. I don't want to set the wrong expectations.
