Wouldn't call Mediterranean Diet highly controversial- despite paucity of data in RA it is at the prudent end of the dietary spectrum and has many attendant health domains demonstrating benefit- Furthermore is guides pts away from unhealthful Standard American Dietary (SAD) habits
In addition to my comments on Wellness behavior education - we can not limit ourselves to data on "joints" - all illness effects the whole person- There are copious data on correcting sleep, moderate exercise, and stress reduction as + influence on multiple domains of QOL (including fatigue -a major complaint of all pts) - the lens of the recs is to narrow
David Liew - excellent comments- I strongly do not believe that any INDIVIDUAL wellness behaviors will be effective - we advocate all dimensions for wellness diet, ex, sleep, stress (w mind body or MM) - we are ignorant of placebo biology in rheumatology and need to catch up with other fields
