According to the latest research, RA is caused my inflammation triggered by the vagus nerve, and can be treated by electrical signals to the nerve https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-04114-7

This inflammation is I assume also damaging to other parts of the body, this the gum problems. Fascinating shit.
