My doctor has given me an antibitoic for my rheumatoid arthritis? Will it help?

Well, the first thing you need to do is change your doctor. There was a time when it was believed that rheumatoid arthritis was due to an infection. 

Many doctors used to prescribe tetracyclines for rheumatoid arthritis. This was based on pure speculation and today we know different. There is not one piece of evidence linking rheumatoid arthritis to any bacterial or viral organism. However, some old fashioned doctors continue this antibiotic therapy, more out of ignorance rather than anything else. 

There is no proof that rheumatoid arthritis is due to an infection and no one has ever been cured of his or her disease with an antibiotic. Today, there are far better and more effective therapies for rheumatoid arthritis than tetracyclines. So get yourself a new doctor or search online for a reputable rheumatologist.

Can I use apple cider vinegar for my arthritis?

Sure you can use anything you want, but the question is does it work? 

While some people report that apple cider vinegar is good for arthritis, these are unconfirmed reports. There are no clinical studies which show that apple cider vinegar actually works for arthritis or for that matter any other disease. 

We live in a society where charlatans continually make up fictitious claims to make money from desperately ill patients. So far there is no dietary healthy supplement that helps relieve pain or swelling in arthritis. Even glucosamine has been proven to be junk. 

Therefore, for the moment all apple cider vinegar will do for you is quench your thirst. If you want your arthritis to get better, go and see a real doctor.
