Lifestyle, reproductive, environmental exposures and RA

This article brings many things out into the open. First and foremost is the hopes that clinicians will begin to view RA, not as a disease locked into our genes, but rather one heavily dependent upon lifestyle factors that are indeed modifiable. And, if the presence of RA is indeed linked that environment, than changing that environment would have an impact. And many times for most patients it does. Lastly, look at some of the environmental factors…drinking well water, exposure to hair dyes…sounds like a hair analysis for heavy metals would be warranted in all RA patients.
