You can read more about scleroderma from this site.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/10/103.cfm">Doctor's agree</a>: Scleroderma starts with inflammation, and its progress depends on how much inflammation continues to occur in the body. That is one reason some doctors recommend that patients with any sort of inflammatory disease--rheumatoid arthritis, lupus or scleroderma--make sure they are getting optimum amounts of vitamin E, selenium and beta-carotene, a yellow pigment found in dark green, leafy vegetables and in orange and yellow fruits and vegetables. These nutrients, known as antioxidants, are thought to help to dampen inflammation by neutralizing some of the biochemicals associated with the process. <br /><br />See you next post and I hope that all of you who get scleroderma will get well soon as same as my mother. <br /><br />P.S. She can walk around our house by using walker and can leave her oxygen tube more than six hours!. We are very happy. We hope that you all are happy too...<br /><br />Love and hug from our family.Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587622742998345737noreply@blogger.com
