Lemonade fast works too. You're dealing with inflamation and your body needs to detox.

Hi,

There's probably a lot of different things that you can do. From my knowledge of chi kung, joints normally become arthritic with age when the energy flow through the joints starts getting blocked, so any energy circulation exercise is good and can be used as a preventitive. So practice on a daily basis would improve your health.

You didn't mention if you cleared the parasitic problem. You have to make sure that your system is clear of parasites and you are taking the proper nutrition, this is always the first step to basic health. Other peoplee here could probably be knowledgable here.

I use Cherry SYRUP! Not juice.
It is very thick and you can get it at the Farmer's Market in quart containers.

A couple of tablespoons a day will do the trick.
It takes some time before it works though...
Couple of weeks I believe...

I forgot as to how it works...My wife just told me to DO IT! hehe!

thanks old dood! matrixmel-- you should try this!!
and i will give it to my mother

What can be done about arthritis? (Circulation formula)


Ginger
Ginger is a fantastic herb. It has been used for the treatment of many aliments. Studies show it is very beneficial in relieving arthritis. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it a well know arthritis treatment.

Ginger contains zingibain, a special proteolytic* enzyme. Research shows that proteolytic enzymes have anti-inflammatory properties. Taken as a tincture, capsule, as a tea or fresh, it does not have any reported side effects to high dosages. A dish prepared with ginger will actually give you a medicinal dose of the herb.

*proteolytic: the hydrolysis of proteins into simpler compounds by the action of enzymes.

Cayenne
Cayenne Pepper or Red Pepper ( Capsicum frutescens ) is another wonderful herb, with a wide range of medical properties to heal the body. Considered one of the best local and circulatory stimulants, cayenne may be used externally for poor circulation, unbroken chilblains and pains associated with arthritis and lumbago Capsicum creams are readily available or you can add a few drops of cayenne tincture to an ointment. If you do add to a cream, use sparingly at first gradually increasing the dosage.

Cayenne can be very hot and some people are sensitive. So test it first. Taken internally cayenne stimulates the heart, regulating the blood flow and strengthening the arteries and capillaries. Cayenne also contains capsaicin, a pain-relieving chemical. This also triggers the body to release endorphins, natures own opiates. Take cayenne as a tincture for fast acting absorption, and include the spice in your food.

Garlic and Ginkgo Biloba
Both garlic and ginkgo biloba have been shown to help with circulation and improve blood flow. This is important where arthritis is concerned. You have to try to improve your circulation. This will help bring oxygen to the affected area and take away harmful deposits which have built up.

All of these herbs may help. We have produced a special formula which includes all four of these herbs: ginger, cayenne, garlic and ginkgo biloba. You can see more information about the circulation formula here (click).



Other things which may help:
Bromelain a proteclytic enzyme present in pineapples helps prevent inflammation. Bromelain helps the body get rid if immune antigen complex compounds that are inflicted in some arthritic conditions In addition to zingibain and bromelain there are other proteclytic enzymes that have similar effects. Kiwifruit, paw paw and figs are excellent sources. Calcium is always needed by the body and especially to aid in the prevention of osteoporosis.

Food and herbs high in calcium are : Alfalfa, Liquorice, Red clover shoots, Camomile, Chives, Coltsfoot, Dandelion, Horsetail, Meadowsweet, Nettle, Plantain, Watercress, Cabbage, Thyme and basil.

Devils Claw a tuber found in South Africa contains a glycoside called harpagoside that helps to reduce inflammation in joints. Best taken in the tincture form especially for inflamed joints. Also good for itchy skin with no obvious cause. One caution, this herb should be avoided during pregnancy.

Additional herbs that will assist in treating arthritis are: Turmeric, Willow a natural pain killer, Liquorice which has anti-inflammatory qualities, rosemary, oregano, basil, camphor, celery seed, meadowsweet.



Stinging Nettles have been used for thousands of years!
Nature provides us with many plants that will aid in the relieving of joint pain. The most radical and perhaps the most daunting is Stinging Nettles. It is called urtication - from nettles botanical name, Utrica dioica- and dates back to the biblical times. Quiet simply the plant is grasped in a gloved hand and the stiff, swollen joint is swatted, thrashed with the sting. Urtication often provides considerable relief. The tiny stingers of the nettle plant actually provide microinjections of several chemicals, one of which is histamine.

The theory is, these chemicals, as well as causing the sting, trigger anti-inflammatory action by the body and so relieve arthritis. This is an ancient folklore, that seems to work for many people all over the world. Nettles grow in may countries and in each stinging nettles has developed a reputation as a treatment for arthritis. For the less adventurous of us, a fresh nettle tea or eating nettles will offer the same long term benefits. Gently steam the young tender leaves, and enjoy as a vegetable. They do lose the stinging effect when cooked!

Sorry to differ on this one point. One wants to use real Maple syrup grade B or C as sugar or honey makes the glucose levels rise up and down.

Hi

I recommend finding a Functional Medicine specialist in your area. It is a growing paradigm. A bright light. It's better than Bing Cherries for the Gout!
www.functionalmedicine.org and find a practitioner! They are chiros (like me), medical doctors, osteopaths, etc.
I have not seen you or tested you, therefore, I cannot just give blind advice.

ahh, my thoughts were running "raw" :mfr_lol:

it's old dood's fault, he distracted me :mfr_lol:


YOU are absolutely right

real maple syrup :)
(and, i am from canada-so shame on me)
and, i even know how to tap a tree:lmao:
and, make maple syrup, the real old fashioned way,
over a fire, in the maple grove,
in about 2-3 feet of snow :)

i have to confess...
i was thinking about "sugar in the raw" :wub2:
(and, it was more of a humourous addition)
to my post, and, NOT an actual "hard truth"

although "sugar in the raw"
is way better than "white sugar"
and, "brown sugar" is better than white sugar
(although, i have NOT fully tested that theory) ;)

i've heard, that nothing on earth,

Tumeric powder in your food may help a bit.

Find a SCENAR (ACUSCEN model for example) if you can afford one.
I will guide you on the use of it if you decide to go this route..

Food allergies? try variations in diet (milk, chocolate, peanuts, wheat, etc.)

Massage help maybe?

How is your living situation and/or your emotional/environmental stressors?

Or the now FAMOUS vitamin D3 cure all may help (geez - hope im not becoming another one of those people who push cure-alls)

Magnesium, Folic acid, Boron, Malic acid, Calcium mix?
i.e. Viridian Brand - Calcium, Magnesium with Boron Powder.

Hot soaks in EPSON salts? (Magnesium)

Do you like to eat Salmon? If so.... eat eat eat some oily Fresh Salmon

Lots of people here to help with ideas.

i wish for You quick healing and No more pain ASAP.

[DoctorTony]

I concur with Mr Deacon. Turmeric powder is good for anti-inflammation. Also cooking with ginger, olive oil and garlic. All of these have anti-inflammatory properties in them.

Check out EDTA
it binds to heavy metals (mainly lead) and calcium

http://www.drcranton.com/edtabib.htm

Hey M, the chemical in red wine is called Resveratrol and I don't think it is used for Arthritis but rather for the heart and circ. system, but still very good for you! Muscadine Wine actually has ten times the amounts of resveratrol as compared to just regular red wine. Did you say something about psoriasis?, if so I highly recommend a product called Diflorasone Diacetate ointment! .05%, works everytime and fairly quick. Also for both Arthritis and Psoriasis you can get Hydrocortizone or Prednizone all from the dermatologist, can't always go natural! I almost guarantee the ointment, good luck.P.S. You can always take fish oil pills too, there are some good ones out there!

[Martian Tigress]

Something else that I personally have found to work very well is an herb called Cat's Claw. There are two different varieties of it: one is called Uncaria tomentosa and the other is Uncaria guariensis. The one you want is Uncaria tomentosa, so make sure that if you buy capsules at your local health food store, that the Cat's Claw you buy says 'U. tomentosa' somewhere on the label.

Cat's Claw has been the subject of several medical studies with osteo-arthritis patients, and it turns out to have serious anti-inflammatory properties. There have also been tests done on animals, and the herb is in veterinary use. In its native setting (the Amazon Basin), it is used for many different types of inflammatory conditions, including arthritis and urinary tract infections. I started taking it because of an injury to the thumb on my right hand, and it worked so well that I started giving to my aged (14 years old) dog, whose back legs are rather 'creaky' these days. It has made a huge difference in her range-of-motion, so I'm not the only one it's working for, and animals are not subject to the placebo effect, either.

In addition, I second what others have had to say in this thread about Vitamin C, anthocyanins (the anti-oxidant pigments in cherries, pomegranates, blueberries, etc.), and Flax Seed oil (Omega-3 fatty acid). Omega-3 oils are also anti-inflammatory as well as being brain-protective.

I have also had personal experience with acupuncture, which I have found works very well for a number of different things, but it does usually require a series of treatments. It also has been employed in veterinary medicine with good results, so again, said results can't have anything to do with a placebo effect.

I am also adding you to my 'send healing energy to' list, so when I meditate, I will be sure to send something your way.

Peace,

Martian Tigress

Wow. So many suggestions here!

Louise Hay says in her book Heal Your Body that physical conditions are the 3-D manifestation of emotional/psychological states reinforced by persistent thought-patterns. Here are her definitions:

Arthritis is [quote]: "Feeling unloved. Criticism, resentment."
The affirmation to use to form a new thought pattern is [quote]: "I am love. I now choose to love and approve of myself. I see others with love."

Gout is [quote]: "The need to dominate. Impatience, anger."
The affirmation to use [quote]: "I am safe and secure. I am at peace with myself and with others."

Ringworm is [quote]: "Allowing others to get under your skin. Not feeling good enough or clean enough."
The affirmation [quote]: "I love and approve of myself. No person, place or thing has any power over me. I am free."

Psoriasis is [quote]: "Fear of being hurt. Deadening the senses of the self. Refusing to accept responsibility for our own feelings."
The affirmation [quote]: "I am alive to the joys of living. I deserve and accept the very best in life. I love and approve of myself."

I always refer to Louise Hay whenever anything physical is happening with myself. Here is how I use the information: Basically I just read it and drop the thought into my consciousness/subconscious. I might ponder for a moment or two whether I feel that what she says could possibly refer to me. (Usually it does!) And I contemplate the affirmation and see how I feel about that too. Usually I find that I need to be doing something different in my life.

The metaphysics I know says that the physical is the last level of manifestation, and that problems ignored or not dealt with at other levels (mental, emotional, spiritual) WILL find physical expression. I offer these thoughts for contemplation. Perhaps they will help in some way.

Many people swear that wearing a "lakhovsky coil" cures arthritis. This is nothing more than a belt made of copper wire (the thicker the copper wire is the better) worn around the waist, so a DIY-job should be relatively simple. Apparently Mr. lakhovsky provided a considerable amount of hard evidence that copper's effects are beneficial to all life, showing that tumors in plants would just wither and die in a relatively short time. No side effects either so nothing to lose. Google for more info.

I suffer from severe bone decay and walk with a limb for about two years I was a celebrex freak, at night my leg and hip had a song very familiar to those of us suffering from arthritis, OUCH, OUCH, OUCH !!! The solfeggio frequencies help to eliminate my pain 99.9 %. Hey now I can walk without a limb and I sleep like a baby. I have not heard the familiar song for almost a year now. Hey it WORKS !!! Hooray !!! I am just extactic with joy. My lungs did not function and my heart was severely damage , now I can run and lift objects without pain or getting dizzy. At work I am responsible for remodeling 3 buildings . The last year due to the solfeggio frequencies I can honestly say I am a new man. I hope this helps. Try it you'll like it. The solfeggio frequencies has become my life work. Why do they work ? It is like getting a mind and body tune up :biggrin2:

[Jubilum]

Check with your doctor, they will have a toxic, ineffective and expensive treatment for your condition. If it doesn't kill you and you still want relief, you may need to think for your self and become self-responsible and self educated. The following is a guideline to follow. Don't do what I say, become your own expert and do what you say.

To understand calcium deposits in joints, kidneys and arteries (arterial plaque) you need to read about nano-bacteria (http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2005/03/66861). There is a big controversy over weather or not it is alive but that is irrelevant. It self replicates and forms calcium film around itself and builds up much like sea coral and tarter on your teeth. The inflammation around arthritic joints is a reaction from your immune system to deal with the foreign infection. Since the nano-bacteria protects itself from your immune system with a calcium bio-film, it continues to grow and grind away your joint. The solution to this problem is a two pronged attack:
To stop feeding the nano-bacteria, avoid all refined carbohydrates like white flour, white bread, white rice, white sugar, white pasta, high fructose corn syrup etc. Eat oatmeal, sprouts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouting) and salmon (wild caught).
The second thing to do is dissolve the calcium deposits. Do this with apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, magnesium, vitamin D, omega 3 and any other folk remedy that is a known cure for arthritis or known to reduce inflammation (oatmeal for example).
Definitely buy a juicer and juice remain lettuce, carrots, apples etc.
Eliminate all hydrogenated oils from you diet.

what helped me was a product called chondroflex from nutrisana.
It is a mixture of gluccosamine and condroitin but you have to keep moving your body in a way it doesn't hurt you (swimming,cycling) while you take it.
Check your eating and drinking habits.
Go to the sauna and most important of all try to love your body although
it is giving you a hard time at the moment.

I just posted a message concerning the book: SLIM SPURLING'S UNIVERSE. Get it as fast as possible, read it, and when you perceive the truths in contains, get the devices you wish to have.
While I personally cannot guarantee a complete healing, I'm very sure the devices will push your health in that direction.

OTHER OPTIONS:
1) Colloidal Silver. Recommended book: COLLOIDAL SILVER by Mark Metcalf. The liquid I purchase is SUPER SILVER SOLUTION, but you can make your own if you wish.
2) Oxygen supplements. Book: FLOOD YOUR BODY WITH OXYGEN by Ed McCabe. In the book: recommended supplements.
3) pH supplements. Book: THE PH MIRACLE by Robert Young. Personally, I use the pH supplements provided by www.ph-ion.com (ph booster), but there are many others on the market.
The above 3 can be done together, 2) and 3) actually enhance each other.
All this information is not just dry, academic knowledge, I use all of them, some for years now, I KNOW they work! At least for me and my particular health problems.
If you try them and find good results, please let me know, I would love to see someone else benefit from them. My e-mail address is gss222@comcast.net.

Hope this will help, as a Nurse you tend to notice differences in your patients wellbeing, as it is part of the care plan, IE Assesment, Plan, Impliment, Re-assess. The re-assessment also including, what the patient eats and any changes physiologicaly.
I noticed that all the patients who had Arthritus/and similar conditions, when they had eaten cheese in particular, dairy products or red meats, this would increase the pain along with decreased mobility. It has since been found through research, that these food sources do affect those with Arthritus, it stimulates what we call the Histamines, which stimulate the antigens which envelope IE the bacteria, the antigens normaly function as a protector of the body from bacteria, however if you stimulate it too much, it starts to attack the body, it attacks the synovial membrains, this is the tissue that is in between the joints.
when the synovial membrain is affected, the bones then rub together and causes pain and sometimes small noduels to form, sometimes, depending on what type of auto immune disease it is, deformity will also be evident. I am not very good at explaining things, but I hope it helps a little, the Doctor could probably give you a booklet explaining the ins and outs of the disease, better than me.
What I would suggest, is, if you want to see if this makes any difference, ask your GP if he can give you some advice, and a dietry plan, so you don't become defficient in any vital vitamins etc, when ommiting these food sources out of your diet.

I need some help,many years ago ,I gat a gout infection,coupled with ring worm infection,....what all this led to was extreme psorasis, swollen joints, I've beem sufferring from these afflictions for years now,have tried everything under the sun,I've gotten heavy calcium deposits under my skin that doesn't feel right,..........some alternative medicines are not found here in canada..........I've alotta $ on everything......any advice friends...


Honey, your DIET IS KILLING YOU. FOOD IS THE PROBLEM; and rethinking how you eat and what you eat is what will facilitate your feeling better.

I'm a dietitian, and I have a free book on-line to help you assess where you (and your body type) are with eating. It's only about twenty pages of self-tests, no commercials, no credit card numbers. With the symptoms you're expressing, I'd say right off, your diet is TOO ACID-forming. Alkalizing yourself can be done by choosing greens, beans, seaweeds, dried fruits and red wine in addition to eating adequate protein, which amounts to about 50 grams a day of meat, fish, fowl, eggs or cheese (being careful about obtaining non-polluted, non-drugged protein foods).

It is God's will for you to feel good and have the strength to endure difficulties; being sick is no blessing, not for you nor anyone else. Good luck!

Cordially, Shechaiyah

You are full of toxins destroying your immune system and it is going haywire on you.

Eat organic products. Use organic cosmetics, make your own lotions. Find a foods for healthy living store to shop at and change your way of living. Garbage in garbage out.

bee venom resets the immune system.

Also try glucosamine condroitin with msm. It takes three weeks for the joints to lubricate from the supliments so be patient. Sunlight works best for psoriasis. Nothing better and vitamin D is essential for everything in our bodies. Minerals are vital for skin conditions. All bottled water is filtered to death and floridated besides. Minerals are life and death. Get some.

I assume you mean the non parasitic fungal ringworm.

Clear the toxins from your body and eventually your immune system will function normally.

[333mark333]

For me i would start a blood cleanse ( Burdock,red clover, dandelion,yellow dock )
Then i would make up a paste ( cayenne,burdock,wintergreen, willow ) and apply to area. ( carefull not to get the paste on sensitive skin )

[bennycog]

i have been diagnosed with cronic arthritis in the ankles. can these posts relate to my diagnosos. or is it totally different?

[Shechaiyah]

Arthritis is pain due to excess acid affecting joints and bones.

Calcium starts depositing where it doesn't belong, as a cushion against caustic acids.

A macrobiotic diet and lots of fresh raw food help greatly.

Reading and listening to material from PC or PA can induce arthritic symptoms. The negative interviews and negative postings will tax your physical body tremendously.

Find something healing to do for yourself. Try another forum which brings joy to your being instead of fear.

[mu2143]

Remember!!

It is not only what your eat, but also stop using toothpast and stop washing your clothes in synthetic junk. Also stop using any synthetics for cleaning your self. Use natural products that aren't processed same for food!

For washing my clothes I use Washnuts, an natural alternative. This because the skin absorbes all most anything.

To wash my self in bathtube I use olive oil with some herbs in it. oil float on water if it does not then it is a synthetic and do not use it.

And for my brushing my teeth i use herbs powder mix.

Curcumin is a natural health enhancer with a long history of use in Ayurvedic (Indian) medicine for supporting a healthy inflammatory response, promoting detoxification of the body, and easing occasional minor digestive upset.

By promoting healthy levels of histamine and cortisone, curcumin supports a healthy inflammation response to comfort aching joints.

This enhanced 500mg formula contains the full range of turmeric antioxidants in a concentrated extract for maximum potency.

This curcumin extract is a powerful 18:1 concentrate, meaning it takes 18 pounds of the dry herb to equal the potency of one pound of the dry extract.

With a complete range of turmeric antioxidants, this potent formula includes demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, and other turmeric compounds to increase bioavailability and efficacy.

Research suggests curcumin may also be effective in comforting symptoms of occasional digestive upset.

A double blind study performed in Thailand (1) examined the effects of 500mg of curcumin taken 4 times a day, versus placebo.

A total of 116 subjects were enrolled, and researchers found statistically significant improvements in the curcumin group versus placebo. After 7 days, 87% of the curcumin groups experienced full or partial relief compared to 53% of the placebo group.

bee sting therapy

bee sting therapy

Yep. A woman told me of many ladies sitting in front of the hives hoping to be stung. She was 70 something when she told me of this years ago and then named many that had complete reversals of serious crippeling arthritis. One poor lady couldnt even walk to the hives but in a week was getting around as she did before. Someone I knew to be perfectly fine regarding movement, I had not known she was severly crippled by arthritis at one time. This information comes from transplants of Ketuckians to my up north area. It's hill people doctorin im told.:wink2:

I dont know why it works, but have seen enough to be a believer.

As others have said, the first step to regaining one's health is to simultaneously cleanse the body of toxic materials and feed the body with real nourishment.

Most people have a build up of parasites and chemical toxins as well as a desperate need for vitamins and minerals. I am a 'health freak' and I have used many methods ranging from long-term fasting to Dr. Hulda Clark's treatments to kinesiology treatements, accupuncture, ionic foot bath treatments and many other things.

In my experience, the detox foot pads made by Kenrico co in Japan are an excellent means of detoxing. Now I did say "Kenrico", not the off-brands now being sold in pharmacy chains and supercenters. You have to buy them from a distributor. I found a distributor on eBay. If you look at Kenrico's website you can see for yourself that they are a scientific company with well established quality controls and industry ceritifications. They have different pads available for different ailments, all info listed on their site.

For the other issue of nutrition, I think we all know at this point what a healthy diet entails. Eat from the ground: raw fruits and vegetables! No fast food, no soda, no processed poison labeled as food. And of course hydration must be maintained at all times. Some suggest 1 oz per 2 lb body weight. During detox, a person may need to double that to 1 oz per 1 lb body weight. For a person with poor health, supplemention is a must. I purchase Nutri-West brand supplements. Hands down, they are the best. Again, by distributor only but there are now online distributors you can find using Google.

For some people, managing their own health seems, at first, seems overwhelming. It was for me when I first began 'waking up' from the nightmare that is the healthcare system of the US. But fortunately, I found an amazing chiropractor/kinesiologist who really 'gets it'. It is always advisable to seek a heath professional. I just think an MD is not the right initials to get help from!

Hope you get the healing you seek!

Something's not right. Gout + ringworm don't lead to psoriasis and the other symptoms...sounds like you have some kind of autoimmune thing going on. I don't know anything about your size, diet, overall health but...

The first thing that hits me is that your pH is probably off. You can remedy that with diet. I would try a good antioxidant in doses twice what it says on the label...there are no side effects. Grapeseed extract, pycnogenol (pine bark), astaxanthin...all are good. You also should take metabolic enzymes on an empty stomach. Good enzyme products are a little pricey but well worth it. And a plenty of probiotics to keep your gut metabolism efficient. Never, never let yourself become constipated! This is a source of sickness and death. Don't take laxatives. Constipation is to be avoided, not suffered and then cured. It's so bad for our bodies.

There's more you can do, but I would go this far, sight unseen. You might consider a parasite cleanse as well, but at the least you need to adjust your digestion and take antioxidants. If you do this, I'd like to hear from you again in a few weeks to see how you're doing.

[whitecrow]

As others have said, the first step to regaining one's health is to simultaneously cleanse the body of toxic materials and feed the body with real nourishment...

A great post, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Folks, there are some knowledgeable people here at the forum, and this is one of the best resources Avalon provides!

...Eat from the ground: raw fruits and vegetables! No fast food, no soda, no processed poison labeled as food...

The sad truth is that ALL processed foods and ALL prescriptions and over-the-counter meds are poison. That, my friends, is what is killing us. That is what is driving the epidemic of allergies, autoimmune ailments, ADHD, diabetes, etc. NOT that there are not genuine breakthroughs in medicine as well as conditions that truly need pharmaceuticals. I'm not here to argue that.

What I do argue is that the medical professions, like every other profession in our fallen culture, have sacrificed their noble traditions to the advantages of commerce. You can't trust 'em. But you CAN learn to give your body the tools it needs to heal and rebuild itself, and therein lies the secret of health.


For some people, managing their own health seems, at first, seems overwhelming. It was for me when I first began 'waking up' from the nightmare that is the healthcare system of the US.


We are so on the same page here! The ONLY way to health is to own your own wellbeing from the start. Insurance and HMOs only encourage dependence, and cultivate the myth that only MDs are qualified to judge health issues, and only pharmaceuticals are appropriate remedies. This is absolute, poisonous, evil lies. The result of believing those lies is the blanket of sickness that lies upon us today.

Inescapably, health is spiritual. The body and the spirit are inseparable in this life. I know people who are perfectly healthy, but the fire within has gone out. These people have a malaise that no herbs can cure. And for people who are already suffering the effects of a lifetime lived the American way, I am sorry to say there are no magic bullets. There is only remediation, and this you can do. Start now.

[Mauree]

There is something you said that bothers me, and that is the "Fungus Infection" and The "Psorasis".
It might well be a good idea to get your Doctor or Health Specialist to test you to see if you might have Yeast Infection in the bowel (candida albicans). My Husband had this and got horrible large ring-worm type patches on his body.
If it is this you would need to cut out every-thing you eat that has sugar in it! The only thing that would cure him was (I gave him a chopped up clove of garlic on a tablespoon mixed with olive oil followed by a sprig of parsley to hid the smell.
Sometimes Arthritis is there because of another condition. Sugar creates an acid system.

[Savoyya]

Very good advices have been shared in this thread, but one very important thing is missing!

I myself have been suffering with a rare form of arthritis, called ankylosing spondylitis (you know, people who are bent so bad they cant look in front of them, thats what i got). :shocked: I do not yet suffer from the deformity, and i wont let that happen!

2 years ago i could barely walk, just a trip to the bathroom was torture and most of the time i had to walk on my knees. I had to go back to living with my father because i couldnt take care of myself. I think we have to hit the bottom of the barrel before we realize we have everything inside ourselves to get out of it.

So anyways to get back on topic, the one thing missing in this thread is the power of meditation! When i was at the bottom of all bottoms, i decided to start meditating again. Funnily, my health started changing very rapidly, over night! I also started doing breathing exercises to help oxygenate my body (the arthritis i suffer from affects the ribs too, making breathing quite painful, thus reducing the oxygen intake). The breathing exercises were quite painful, and i wasnt able to do a lot of sequences at a time and that was allright. What paid off was to stick with it and respect my limits. The road back to health can be long and hard, but its there! You cant detox your body from all of the abuse of bad food/toxic medications in a day, its a gradual thing.

After i started getting better from the meditations and breathing exercises, my mind started to be more clear as well. My sleep was much better too, i went from sleeping in bunches of 15 mins to 4-6 hours straight, that was quite good! I was then able to start doing research and start changes in my life. All of the advices in this thread cover most of it but ill list them again.

Acid blood is a terrain for sickness.
You cant have a good health if your blood is acid. There are supplements you can take to help bring your PH back to alkaline, but i went the food route. This route will bring you improvement in a much slower way but thats what i prefer, because the changes i put in my food habit are permanent. There are charts all over the internet showing you which foods are alkaline and which are acid, just google "acid alkaline food charts". You need to eat 80% alkaline foods, 20% acid.

You need to get rid of everything that lowers your immune system. The list here is long unfortunately.
-Get rid of all processes foods (white sugar and flour, corn syrup, sodas, etc etc).
-Get rid of GM foods (you will have to go organic).
-Get rid of canned foods (the preservatives they put in them are bad for you, on top of the fact you dont know where the food in them came from - aka GM food, irradiated food, etc).
-Get rid of products with aspartame (sodas again, chewing gum, etc).
-Say no to vaccines (they got a lot of bad stuff in them, like mercury and who knows what else).
-If you can afford it, get rid of your tooth amalgams, they are a source of mercury which poisons your body and kills your immune system (you can replace them with a ceramic filling).
-Get rid of red meat and diary products (unfortunately all the cattle is treated with growth hormones and antibiotics, and those pass in the milk and meat and thats bad for your immune system).
-Bottled water (here in Canada, you cant find bottled water without fluorides in them anymore, if you can find true pure bottled water in your area then youre fine, but the plastic bottles are bad anyways).
-Get rid of your microwave oven
-Get rid of your mobile/cell phone

Detox your body!
-Fasting helps a lot here.
-Drink a lot of water (avoid fluoridated and chlorinated water though, you might need a good water filter/distiller if your water source is bad).
-Eat organic. Eat a lot of fresh veggies and fruits (eat their seeds when possible).
-Meditate!
-Listen to relaxing music, everything that will reduce your stress level is good for you. Listening to Solfeggio Frequencies will help you a lot, you can find them in youtube (the healing frequency is 528).
-Oxygenate your body. Do breathing exercises, you can do it while you meditate, take a walk, etc

Sorry if that post got long :naughty:
But i can tell you ive done 90% of what ive listed here (cant afford getting rid of my tooth amalgams atm), and right now im well enough that i was finally able to stop taking my poisoned prescription pills 4 months ago. I can now sleep a whole night. I still cant run or walk very fast but its getting there. I can now cook my own food and take care of myself. I also discovered im quite good at cooking food! Its totally possible to eat healthy while your food also tastes very good. I cant stand processed foods and restaurants anymore, they taste like **** (proof i have detoxed well so far). :tongue2:

So anyways good luck! Im sure you have everything in you to get better :original:

Hallo Uwe,

the best remedy for arthritis is bee venom or the sting of bees. I use it in my own practrice with tremendous sucess!!!
And its not true that there is no possibility in Canada
just look : http://apitherapy.com/canada.php
or contact Michail Simics under www.beevenom.com
He is producing beevenom and for sure can give you an advice where you can find a therapist who does it.

Some dietary corrections are for sure recommended. Such as avoiding porcs meat and other acidic producing food.
This should be evaluated in an individual prescription.

hello everyone,
I've gotten so much advice from all you beautiful people as well as quite a
number of people sufferring form the same condition as I,
I've taken advice from henry deacon,in which he said for I to take vitamin d3
supposedly has wonder cures for many ailments,as well some postings have suggested cats claw and stinging nettle,well just a few days ago,I picked up these three vitamins/herbs...........it's been a few days now......I've tried many different herbs/vitamins,but not these 3.:here are my findings so far,

I have significant reduced swelling ,the pain as well is lesser,I find I am more
energized,my wife has knee problems,and she has found some relief.
so if any others want to try,here is what I am experiencing so far,
again thanks to everyone with their suggestions,and I hope for all others
who also suffer,speedy recovery.........I will keep you informed on my status
in the following weeks......peace.

A friend of mine was just talking about how she had crippling arthritis in her hip, she went on an extensive candida yeast diet and the symptoms totally cleared up. You could try googling "candida yeast overgrowth" and see if you find anything that is helpful for you. In my experience working with natural supplements it does seem to cause so different health problems for people.

A parasite cleanse probably wouldn't hurt either.

I don't think I had the same cause as yourself but I rid myself of sore joints by cutting out potatoes and other nightshade family plants. I also reduced wheat and corn. No more sore joints.

[Peer]

Take MMS and you will be surprised within a week.
It will take out all the acid in your body and with that your pains.

[Gnosis5]

MMS would probably do the trick, just make sure you don't have any thyroid issues first.

I can't take MMS so what I did was to quit eating potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, anything from the nightshade family, especially the potatoes and tomatoes. After 30 days I no longer had joint pains. Whenever I start eating potatoes again the joint pains return. After over 6 months I don't even like potatoes anymore. Sweet potatoes are good though.

I am now starting to notice that if I stop eating breads I feel better too.

Hope that helps. Both MMS and cutting out potatoes are cheap and won't hurt you, even if it does not work. That is in accordance with the Hippocratic oath to "do no harm".

love,

WOW! Nice to see so many of your brothers & sisters really care! Just the love and atttention you're getting should cure your pain, HA HA!

On a more serious note, I've been reading this water cure from a Dr. Batmanghelidj who claimes to be able to prevent as well as cure many sickness's He seems to make lot's of sense and I myself am drinking water like I have never done before.

Give a try you have nothing to loose.



"Water prevents and helps to cure arthritis.
Rheumatoid joint pain - arthritis - is a signal of water shortage in the painful joint. It can affect the young as well as the old. The use of pain-killers does not cure the problem, but exposes the person to further damage from pain medications. Intake of water and small amounts of salt will cure this problem".

Hi,
I think post #19 (Tony) might have something - Although I am an intuitive and not a doctor, you seem to be resonating with Tick / Insect Illnesses; and there are many illnesses from vectors that are known to cause serious arthritis.

These include bacteria, viruses, parasites, mycoplasm and more. The live pathogens produce toxins, and, if the pathogens are killed, there are more toxins that are released - these endo- and exotoxins can re-circulate in the body, rather than be eliminated. Therefor, it's important that if you are on a natural protocol to eliminate, then you must taken toxin binders and other agents to remove them from the body. There are panel tests (http://clongen.com/Tick_Borne_Illnesses_Panels.php)for these as well as assay tests now for endotoxins.

I can get you professional grade natural products that you can order yourself
at a 20% discount (http://www.byregion.net/cgibin/users/profiles.pl?username=paulaupton#OPT1)(I offer to my clients and to members of this forum), and you can have them shipped to CAN.

I have read good things about MMS (Jim Supple's work) and will be testing this on my clients. Although it has not been reported that it completely cures tick illness.

You can also go to the Cowden Support Program (https://www.nutramedix.com/store/comersus_CowdenItems.asp), which offers a good protocol, but it is very expensive. I don't earn anything on his stuff, but you could order several things he recommends via me.

Many people report excellent, but not full recovery, from Samento (TOA-Free Cat's Claw;or Prima Una De Gato) - try the liquid form. There is some controversy as to whether TOA-Free offers better results than plain Cat's Claw. You MUST, however, take binding agents and other things when taking this herb, along with a heavy metal cleanser.

Maybe go to a Lyme Disease and other websites and check yourself for symptoms. Even if you get tested and the tests come back negative, you could still be positive for tick illness.

Good luck,

Dakini

Try Kombucha you can make it your self.
http://www.kombu.de/anleit-e.htm

Orginal kombucha is a fermented product from Green thee, but you can use it with different herbs to increase your healt.

I just started to brew my own using the following herbs->

Fo-Ti (Polygonum multiflorum)
Chaparral (Larrea tridentata)
Rooibos
Chamomile
Can't wait

Or you can brew health product using EM-1 only it is not as easy to brew Kombucha.

My advice would be to google Dr Arden Anderson. He practices in America and is convevtional as well as alternative. He is absolutely wonderful. He also travels the world teaching farmers how to farm biologically, in tune with nature. His advice would probably start with getting more calcium into your system. Contrary to conventional thinking a build up of calcium deposits is a lack of calcium. I proved this to myself in two instances. One was calcium/plaac on my teeth. After a few months maybe a year of taking Coral Calcium (and no I dont sell the stuff) my teeth did not build up with calcium deposits. My dentist keeps asking me "what are you doing, your teeth are great". Another instance was bone spurs in my feet. They used to give me hell. My Ded had the same problem. Now I don't have bone spurs. Go figure!

[alyscat]

MMS will handle lyme arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but not the kind that is caused by muscles pulling in the wrong direction. In other words, it will work for any pathogen caused arthritis. It's discussed in Humble's second book (the one that you pay for - the first you don't) and there may be some information on it on his website (www.jimhumble.biz) There may be additional information on the web, and you can check the MMS thread here on Avalon (Miracle Mineral Supplement)

I'm on his mailing list (a monthly newsletter) and I got one recently on a new protocol for using DMSO as a delivery agent. Particularly helpful for those who can't tolerate the smell/taste. I imagine taking it with with the cherry syrup would help, too-cover all the bases .

I also saw this cure in a book I got. It's up in Washington and I'm down in Florida, so I can't get my hands on it. I figured that if you had enough gin, you wouldn't care :mfr_lol: - No seriously, it's considered a legitimate cure, but you have to have the right number of raisins and the right amount of gin.
