"I was wondering if there was any way to naturally treat juvenile arthritis, because I'm sick of having to take pills for it, (which I'm only doing because my mom insists, as she is all for allopathic "medicine", and I don't know if my diet needs to change or what. Also, luckily for me, my grandpa's a supporter of this type of medicine. (Not sure what to call it after reading one of your articles on alternative medicine). And also, as much as I hate lying to my mom, I'm not actually taking the pills; and I've noticed that my arthritis isn't so bad, which is a start."
It is likely that your issues will remedy themselves, so long as your immune system is not damaged too much pharmaceutically. You are smart to beware of their 'help', because it is usually where the biggest problems lie. Historically, young people did not get arthritis, which means that there is a high probability that you actually have a misdiagnosed case of Lyme disease. You need to be cautious about mentioning this possibility to your mother, or the stupidity of the interventions could increase. We cannot make any diagnosis with great confidence, since we do not know the particulars of your case. We have plenty of information to help you manage the situation regardless, in case you are in a position to do so. We have a search at the top right of our site. Use it. Don't forget to pray, because you are going to need some help in keeping all of the over-reactive people at bay.
