Treating Arthritis Naturally

Carolyn Dean MD ND | Thursday, July 22, 2010

I try to keep my blogs at around 300 words because people say they can read that amount easily on their PDA’s. There’s lots I can say about arthritis and I’ll try to cover as much as possible.

a) Diet:

For me, everything begins with diet. What you put in your mouth or don’t put in your mouth has a dramatic effect on your health.

First try eliminating foods that may be inflaming your joints. Start with number one and work your way down the list over the next few weeks to see what diet helps.

1.) Avoid artificial sweeteners.

2.) Eliminate the most allergenic foods such as sugar, wheat, dairy, and corn.

3.) Eliminate yeast‐growing foods such as yeast, moldy foods, cheeses, and fruits and see if this improves the joints.

4.) Avoid the deadly nightshade family of potato, tomato, green pepper, tobacco, eggplant, and paprika can cause arthritis of the fingers.

5.) Cut back on meat, with its high content of purines (a precursor to uric acid), and arachidonic acid (a precursor to inflammatory products) can be a problem.

For arthritis, a good healthy diet includes vegetables, nuts, seeds, fish, chicken and whole grains (except wheat and corn). In some cases, a no-grain diet is best.

Reaching optimum weight is also very important because any excess weight on an inflamed joint creates more pain.

b) Magnesium:

Magnesium taken orally and rubbed into the body as magnesium oil are both magical in the way they stop inflammation and support bone regeneration.

You can go to my resources page for my magnesium product recommendations.

c) Detox:

Whole body clay baths, footbaths and clay poultices can bring miraculous results as they draw out inflammatory toxins. You can go to my resources page for my clay product recommendation.

d) Non Surgical Knee Replacement (pentosan sulphate):

This is a product developed by my friend, Roby Mitchell. He’s an MD and a PhD in Pharmacy. He created an inhaled glucosamine that rebuilds cartilage. Click here for more information. It’s on prescription so you have to talk a doctor into writing you a script for it from a pharmacy in Amarillo.

There’s much, much more, and I’m way over my word count. So, I’ll have to direct you to my Future Health Now Encyclopedia. To find out why you don’t want to take drugs as your first choice to treat arthritis you can read my indictment of modern medicine. Death by Modern Medicine.
