Is LED Light Therapy Recommended For Reactive Arthritis?
My father has had reactive arthritis in the knees and fingers following typhoid. I was told that the LED light therapy is good. How does this compare with ultrasound and other advertised products, including physical therapy? He does not like to take oral medications or injections. Thanks, Anitha

Dear Friend:
I would suggest you to go for Acupressure/Acupuncture treatment.
It is good that he is not taking any oral medicines or injections since in long run this can create dangerous side effects.
He can also take Aloe Vera Juice orally( Any Good Brand) first thing in the morning on an empty stomach before brushing his teeth or cleaning his face with water. 30 ml is preferred and also ask him to take 15 to 20 ml Aloe Vera Juice 30 minutes after supper. Let him not stay in empty stomach at any cost.
Aloe Vera juice contains Calcium, Proteins and other enzymes which are very good for the body. In case he is taking any other medicine also he can take this juice. There is no harm in it.
Please give me your feed back after a week for further suggestions.
