Dietary therapy for rheumatoid disease has been used by patients for decades. Until recently, orthodox medical opinion has tended to ignore the subject, but interesting results from recent studies suggest that further investigation would now be appropriate. It is possible that food (which consists of many antigens regularly entering the body) could be responsible for altering immunological function. Be that as it may, it would seem logical, particularly in view of recent uncertainty about the efficacy and/or safety of various drugs used in the management of rheumatoid disease, to determine scientifically whether dietary manipulation has any value in the management of these rheumatoid patients.
类风湿疾病的饮食疗法已被患者使用数十年。直到最近，正统医学观点一直倾向于忽视这个话题，但近期研究的有趣结果表明，现在进行进一步调查是合适的。食物（由许多经常进入人体的抗原组成）有可能导致免疫功能改变。尽管如此，鉴于近期用于治疗类风湿疾病的各种药物在疗效和/或安全性方面存在不确定性，科学地确定饮食调控在这些类风湿患者的治疗中是否有任何价值似乎是合乎逻辑的。
