Huh thats really interesting. Sorry don't have anything to add but that!
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.
