Is it possible to cure arthritis?

Of course we all know that doctors do not cure anything. We TREAT illness and manage chronic problems like arthritis, diabetes, and hypertension. However, do you know that it is possible to CURE cancer in the early stages? I was talking to my friend, a breast cancer specialist this weekend. We both get upset and angry with those who claim to have 'natural' cures to everything in the world, including cancer and arthritis. What is true though, is that both cancer and arthritis can be CURED in early stages by conventional and new forms of therapy.

We have recently been treating early rheumatoid arthritis very aggressively and are finding that many patients go into remission and are able to come off ALL medications. I am currently following 5 patients who have no evidence of disease activity and are off all treatment for arthritis. Hence, the moral is still ... early diagnosis, early treatment.
