Reversing the “Irreversible”: A Rheumatoid Arthritis Success Story
- Apr 9
- 2 min read
For many patients diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, the message is the same:
“This is something you’ll have for life.”
Nora was told the same thing.
A 13 Year Struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Nora first came to the Goldberg Tener Clinic in 2019 after a 13-year history of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
She had been officially diagnosed by a medical rheumatologist in 2006 and, over the years, was prescribed a wide range of medications, including:
NSAIDs
Hydroxychloroquine
Methotrexate
Arava
Humira
Cimzia
Rituxan
Despite aggressive medical management, her condition did not improve. Instead, her health continued to decline.
Like many patients, the focus remained on managing symptoms, while the underlying factors contributing to her condition were never fully addressed.
When Conventional and Alternative / Functional / Integrative Approaches Fall Short
In search of answers, Nora also consulted with an "integrative" medical physician. She was given numerous supplements to take alongside her medications—but this approach also failed to produce meaningful improvement.
This is a common pattern we see:
Conventional medicine → symptom suppression
Integrative / alternative / functional approaches → additional interventions layered on top. See article "The Facade of Functional Medicine".
Yet neither approach fully addresses the conditions that allowed the disease to develop in the first place.
The Typical Prognosis and Why it Matters
Medically, Nora's long-term outlook was poor. Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis are often told to expect:
Progressive joint damage
Reduced mobility
Lifelong dependence on medications
Ongoing symptoms and side effects
A visit to most Rheumatology offices reflects this reality... Patients managing symptoms year after year, often with increasing interventions, side effects and diminishing results.
A Different Approach: Addressing Root Causes and Building Health
At the Goldberg Tener Clinic, the focus is not on treating the disease / symptoms, but on: Addressing the underlying causes
Creating the right conditions for the body to recover
Using the Goldberg Tener Clinic Bio-Hygienic Re-Creation System™, developed over decades of clinical experience, the goal is to restore health and the body's ability to function normally.
Nora's Outcome
One year after beginning care:
Nora reports no pain
Her energy significantly improved
She returned to fully managing her 500-acre farm in Maryland
Nora's inflammatory markers including C-Reactive Protein (CPR) and Sedimentation Rate (ESR) are within normal limits.
A New Perspective on Rheumatoid Arthritis and Chronic Disease
Nora’s case reflects a different possibility: That what is often considered “irreversible” may, under the right conditions, change. For many patients, the question is not simply:
“What disease do you have?”
But rather:
“Why did it develop?” That question changes everything.
