Hope and Healing for Rheumatoid Arthritis Through traditiona

---

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a debilitating autoimmune condition that affects millions around the world. At our Worcester clinic, we’ve successfully treated many patients with rheumatoid arthritis using Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture. One such remarkable case is Mr. Erdiren from Turkey.

After 8 years of suffering with severe RA and exhausting conventional options—including powerful immunosuppressants like Metoject, Quensyl, and Prednol—Mr. Erdiren found relief through our personalized herbal treatment. His story, shared by his daughter through a series of emails, reflects how Traditional Chinese Medicine can offer new hope, even when other treatments fail.

 August 2014
Mr. Erdiren’s daughter, Duygu, reached out to us describing her father’s condition:

• 8 years of RA with swelling in knees, elbows, and neck 
• Dependent on strong medications, including weekly Metoject injections 
• Side effects included lung nodules, prompting doctors to stop the medication 
• After stopping, his pain worsened dramatically 

She asked whether he could try Chinese herbal medicine alongside his current treatment.

After beginning a course of herbal tea in early November, Duygu reported:

“He says he has less arthritis pain. He has just headaches, but they are minor. We are adding a little honey to improve the taste.”

“The news is excellent. After 27 of 30 herbal tea packages, my father's CRP has dropped to 2.5 mg/L — the lowest value since the beginning of his illness! He no longer has arthritis pain.”

In June 2016, Mr. Erdiren visited our clinic in person with his son and interpreter. His condition had remained stable and pain-free since completing the herbal treatment. He was able to resume work and enjoy a normal, active life—something he hadn’t imagined possible during the years of debilitating illness.
