Allopathy is best for many reasons. Ayurveda and homeopathy have no new drugs designed to treat RA. Everything is age old. RA can lead to joint destruction which is irreversible if not controlled well at start. Early treatment is the key in RA. There is ?window of opportunity? in early RA (not our invention, but a recognised term :). This window is open for 12-24 weeks after RA starts. There is decent evidence that if RA patients are properly treated during this window, they are less likely to have joint damage or might need much lesser treatment in the future. Many patients miss this window for a ?unproven? natural treatment. Most claims of successful natural therapies on internet or real-life are fake or misguided. Many patients with mild disease at start will feel better with anything, but they will worsen without proper treatment in future. There is almost no government or medical organisation in the world, which endorses use of natural therapies exclusively for RA treatment. Yes, they might recommend healthy diet, exercise, herbs, acupuncture etc, but just as add-on to allopathic treatment. A research on any drug should be good quality and repeatedly show similar results. At any point an approved RA allopathy drug will have anything ranging from 50 to more than 100 papers. No natural / ayurveda / homeopathy therapy used in RA has consistently shown such results.
