You might think this is wacky but it works for me.  I quietly tell my white cells to calm down.  Reassure them that there is nothing wrong.  I tell them to get out of my joints, I name the joints individually and redirect the white cells to my intestines or something.  I know, it is wacky but where is the center of control for our whole body?  The brain!  who is in charge?  You are!  One time my knee was starting to sharply throb and I did this and it went away instantly.  You have to be calm and assertive.  The white blood cells are just out of control and you need to reign them in.  Just picture them as panicked diners in a burning restaurant or something and you have to calmly reassure them that there is nothing wrong, that everything will be alright.  As for a long term treatment I would not claim it but it can't hurt either. This may be like the meditation aspect of holistic healing.  Also, I went gluten free in 2006.  Dairy free in 2007.  I got a flare up just recently when my Epstein Barr flared up.  No fun at all.  Keep your chin up and stay positive.
