Do you wear gold rings regularly to relieve rheumatoid arthritis?

  Summer travel to Xishuangbanna to listen to Dai compatriots that Dai people rarely suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, the reason is that Dai compatriots like to wear gold ornaments, such as gold necklaces, gold rings, gold bracelets, embedded gold teeth, etc.. I asked skeptically: “The rainy season in the Dai area is very rainy and humid, how can there be few rheumatoid arthritis?” The Dai compatriots said with conviction: We have more than a thousand people of all ages in this Dai village, if you find a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, even if I am not telling the truth. Although I can’t prove and believe it, but there are some reasons and possibilities when I think about it.  I found this phenomenon in the clinical work of rheumatoid arthritis: some patients have severe distortion and deformation of their hands, but the finger that wears a gold ring for a long time is rarely swollen and deformed. I was curious to review the medical literature at home and abroad, and found that a doctor in the UK discovered and confirmed as early as 1997 that wearing a gold ring for a long time could slow down the deformation of the hand joints of rheumatoid arthritis patients. The degree of erosion and damage to the bone joints was significantly less in the left finger of most patients who wore gold rings compared with other fingers, and even other finger joints in the vicinity of the gold ring could benefit. He believes that the gold may reach the corresponding joints and adjacent joints through the skin or lymphatic flow, and play a role in preventing the occurrence of bone destruction.  The world uses “gold preparation” injection or oral treatment of rheumatoid arthritis has a long time, as it is “special medicine” and has achieved very good results. The only indication for this gold-containing drug is the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, long-term use can effectively control the disease, to prevent aggravation.  Rheumatoid arthritis is a difficult disease to treat, and many patients develop joint deformities and even disability after several years of illness. Only early treatment with regular medication can control the disease and prevent joint deformation and paralysis. In addition, as one of the auxiliary methods, often hanging gold rings, gold bracelets, etc. can also help relieve rheumatoid conditions. It is recommended that rheumatoid patients wear more gold jewelry when they sleep at night. Regularly hanging and wearing gold, rheumatoid will be alleviated.
