On the medicinal efficacy of dietetic therapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Int J Clin Pharmacol Res. 1992;12(1):19-25.

Abstract

A controlled trial of 68 patients with rheumatoid arthritis on the medicinal efficacy of a dietetic therapy was made. The employment of a special diet favourably influenced the course of the disease and enabled the dosage of antirheumatic drugs to be reduced, thereby reducing the frequency of side-effects of the drugs.
