Abstract

Disclosed are methods and compositions useful for alleviating the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. In preferred embodiments, the compositions are administered in essentially minute "neutralizing" doses. The compositions comprise mixtures of histamine, immunoglobulin G provocative of RF formation or an immunologically active fraction thereof, collagen and either attenuated measles virus or immunologically active fraction thereof. Illustratively significant relief of symptoms of arthritis disease symptoms is achieved through parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous or sublingual) administration of such compositions.
