Mechanical arthritis is usually a term used to describe Osteoarthritis.(also referred to as wear and tear and degenerative arthritis)
Rheumatoid arthritis is very different and is an auto immune disease affecting the synovial membrane of the joint.
I do believe that both conditions can be helped with good constitutional prescribing and attention to diet.The regime you suggest could in fact be damaging to the patient.

Many arthritis patients have totally different modalities and generalisation should be avoided !
