Guest guest Report post Posted January 28, 2003 I am convinced that the low cell potassium always present in rheumatoid arthritis is at least the most important symptom, if not the actual cause.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Thank you for sending this. Pegasus ARTHRITIS The symptoms of both rheumatoid-arthritis and osteo-arthritis are caused by the deposition of uric acid in the muscles or joints. Uric acid and other toxic acids come from the food we eat. In the past, our food contained vitamins and nutrients that controlled the levels of these acids, but modern methods of both farming and food production have removed many of these vitamins and minerals. Modern farming methods have caused the disappearance of many essential trace elements from their produce. Over decades, intensive farming has drained the soil of many essential minerals and trace elements. Although farmers add fertilizer to the soil, this fertilizer only replaces three substances, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. To take just one example: consider selenium, an essential mineral and anti-oxidant. In most of the UK, the levels of selenium in the soil are very low and in some parts, especially the West Country, they're non-existent. Many doctors will tell you that arthritis is incurable, and that you will just have to live with it. But if it is caused by faulty diet, then surely by correcting our diets, we can at least relieve the symptoms, and perhaps cure the disease. There are hundreds and hundreds of people who have been totally cured of this condition: whose bodies show no sign whatever of the disease, after following the suggested regime below. But first, let's talk about conventional treatment. Arthritis is usually treated with drugs, pain-killers or surgery. The first resort of the medical profession is usually to prescribe an anti-inflammatory drug, usually one of the NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs). Their function is to reduce inflammation and reduce pain. They usually work, but only for a while. And while they may work, they also make the condition worse. So, what's next? A more powerful drug with more side effects, for which more drugs are prescribed. It's not unusual for people to be taking fifteen or more medications a day. In a study a few years ago it was found that 70%, that's 7 out of 10, non-surgical beds in all hospitals in the UK were taken up by patients suffering from an iatrogenic disorder, that is: a disorder caused by drugs prescribed by doctors. So, what then. As the patient becomes progressively worse, he or she will be referred to a consultant rheumatologist. After many months of waiting, in agonising pain, the patient will get a consultation, and will be put on a waiting list for surgery for up to two years. So, what's the answer? It's simple. Deal with the cause of arthritis, and not the symptoms. How do we do that? That's simple, too:- 1. Remove the toxic acids that have built up. 2. Reduce the intake of them. 3. Provide the nutrients which control them. YES:- IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE 1. To remove the build-up that exists. Honey and cider vinegar. Honey contains dozens of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and amino-acids that we need in order to function properly. Cider vinegar contains various essential minerals, some vitamins, and acetic acid, which is a 'good' acid, in that it dissolves the hard acid deposits in the joints, and the waxy acid that can be deposited in muscles. and honey's nutrients help the body eliminate the toxic acids. If you are diabetic, don't use Honegar. Instead use Aspall's Organic Cider Vinegar, which is obtainable from most supermarkets and Health Food Stores, but you can generally take molasses, which is an unrefined product. 2 & 3. See attached diet sheet. Should you wish for further information to support this, there is a clinic, which only treats arthritis patients. It is run by Margaret Hills, SRN, who trained as a nurse at St Stephens Hospital. London, until her training was cut short by crippling heart disease and arthritis. Against all the odds and the prognoses of her doctors, she fought back, rid herself of arthritis, went on to get married, have eight children and continues a long career as an industrial nurse. She now shares her radical new and natural treatment for arthritis through: The Margaret Hills Clinic 1 Oaks Precinct Caesar Road KENILWORTH Warcs CV8 1DP 01926 854783 The clinic offers a postal diagnosis and treatment schedule on which the above information is partly based. Margaret has also written a number of best selling books about arthritis. Here follows Message 4390 from Crystal. frandoch@a... Fri Mar 14, 2003 11:45 am Re: [CrystalHW] Placebos Hi there Hazel, and others,No, I am not talking about remission. I'm talking about total cure, as measured by conventional hospital tests. And it doesn't seem to matter which form of arthritis is involved.However as you are already involved with Arthritis Care, I will put you on to one of the many sources I used in compiling the report.Two books, ISBN Nos below. written by a State Registered Nurse, who was crippled with both osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis as a young woman, actually during her nursing training She was told that she would never be able to lead a normal life, or complete her training.Conventional medicine failed her, so she started to research natural remedies. She developed a natural cure, and against all her doctors' predictions it was completely successful. There was no trace of the condition in her body.She set up a clinic in Kenilworth. As her fame spread, she realised that there were thousands and thousands of sufferers who could not visit her clinic, so she set up a system of treatment by post. It works. I have helped many people using similar methods.I am continually finding more information and will post anything I get that appears to be relevant.I know that conventional medicine offers little hope, and that conventionally trained doctors are very skeptical, but the results speak for themselves.Curing Arthritis The Drug Free WayMargaret Hills, SRN.

It works.Michael Should you want any further information, please contact me through the site, or direct at: frandoch (Some of the information herein is from personal correspondence with other people) Michael. Diet Recommendations 1. Take one tablespoonful of Honegar in water twice a day (see note re diabetics) 2. Take a teaspoonful of black molasses in water twice a day. Food List (If you must cheat, take extra diluted cider vinegar to counteract the acids.) NO (Orange font) YES (Blue Font) Cut down salt intake If you must have salt, use Solo. If you can't get it, phone Low Sodium Sea Salt Co, Bromley on 020 84645536 for nearest supplier. FAMILY= " SANSSERIF " FACE= " ArVinegar Cider vinegar. Butter Vegetable oil spreads with buttermilk, but not those which contain hydrogenated vegetable oil Read labels. Milk, cream, cheese Skimmed milk is OK Goat's milk and cheese, sheep's milk and cheese. Cottage cheese. You can add chives, spring onions, spanish onion or permitted fruits. Soya products. Occasionally soft cheese. Twice a week max. ALL citrus fruits and juices Peaches, pears, apples, bananas, apricots, melons, grapes. Dried fruits. Tomatoes twice a week max. if you must. Pork, beef, bacon, ham Chicken, turkey, duck, rabbit. Occasional lamb. Make mint sauce with cider vinegar. Eggs, two twice a week max. Coffee, cocoa, tea, alcohol Weak tea if you must. Grain coffee. Herbal teas. Non-citrus fruit juices. Vegetable juices. Chocolate products Carob. Fresh or frozen white fish - grilled, poached, baked or steamed - NEVER battered or fried. Mackerel, sardines, herring, salmon. Twice a week max. because they are oily fish which absorb heavy metals from sea water. All white flour products Wholemeal bread, brown rice and pasta. Sugar. Read labels. Anything ending in -ose is a sugar. Molasses, dried fruit (not citrus), sugar free jams. Junk food, processed and convenience foods . Fresh food, vegetables, salads. Look around for farms which deliver organic vegetables. They're springing up all over the country. Wholemeal cereals. Especially oats. Stick to this way of eating for a month. Then introduce forbidden foods one at a time. You will soon find out which ones cause you problems. Basically we are trying to do three things here. 1. Dissolve existing uric acid deposits in muscles and joints (thus cider vinegar) 2. Eat a low acid diet to reduce uric acid formation. 3. Ensure adequate quantities of essential vitamins and minerals to deal with unavoidable toxic acids. (thus honey and molasses and supplements) Shopping List Martlet's 'Honegar' Organic Cider Vinegar (Aspall's if possible) Organic Blackstrap Molasses (Meridian if possible. If not, read list of ingredients. It must be unsulphured) Multi Vitamin B Complex. (Quest is good, it also contains 500mg Vit C) Curcumin Capsules (Comes from Turmeric, an Indian spice used in curries. It's a powerful anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. It is better than Voltarol and has no side effects. It also boosts the effects of Glucosamine Sulphate. Ginger (In tincture form. It's a powerful anti-inflammatory. Jan de Vries is good) Follow the instructions on the labels for dosage. I am sourcing a couple more things for you to take. I know you appear to be a walking apothecary, but what I am advising won't have to be taken for ever. As you improve, dosages can be reduced and in time you will be able to come off everything except vitamins that I will supply and cider vinegar. Also I would like to get you off prescription drugs if possible. When your Vitamin C runs out make sure you replace it with one containing Citrus Bioflavonoids. It is also better to take 500mg twice a day than 1000mg once a day, as the body doesn't store Vitamin C. Please send me an accurate list of all prescribed medicines you are taking, giving the trade name, the chief constituents and the dosage instructions. Cider Vinegar is an amazing liquid. It dissolves acid deposits in muscles and on bone. Try an experiment to see for yourself. Put an egg in a glass, cover it with cider vinegar and leave it for 48 hours. You will find the egg still whole but with no shell. Eggshell is in some ways similar to uric acid deposits. Cider vinegar is also a blood pressure normaliser. It lowers high blood pressure and raises low blood pressure. Provided you monitor your blood pressure very regularly, you may be able to reduce your prescription drug. Cider vinegar is also a diuretic. You will need to urinate more frequently. You may be able to reduce your water tablet. As I have said before, please feel free to discuss any of this with your GP. I am also happy to supply information to your GP if required. If there is a problem about me advising you, tell your GP that my role is not to treat people, but to research alternative and complementary therapies, to act as a clearing house for up-to-date information on a wide range of treatments for most chronic disorders, from sources around the world. Don't forget, you can email me at anytime - frandoch Michael. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's unlikely. > Hi May and others who have responded, I have already posted re the font problem, - and said that I will post the diet information again, in a different format to make it clear, which I am working on, as we 'speak'. The 'test' re the vinegar and the egg, was not to be taken as scientific evidence of the effects of cider vinegar in humans. It was just a suggestion, - to perhaps show to people who doubted, that cider vinegar does have an effect on hard deposits, that just possibly, it could have an effect on uric acid deposits, - that conventional medicine may not be right - that 'doctors' may not have all the answers. I suffered serious injury, in an accident, to two joints in my body. I refused conventional treatment, and was told, that my refusal would result in crippling arthritis within months. That was thirty five years ago. I have no trace of arthritis in my body. If you prefer to accept conventional medical 'wisdom', that's fine. I force no-one to accept anything I say. I offer evidence. And the evidence is - that there is a cure for arthritis - that thousands - yes thousands of people have been cured - that conventional hospital tests have shown this. And yes - there are many different forms of arthritis - but it doesn't seem to matter - this form of safe treatment appears to work. If you choose to say that I am wrong - or deluded - that's fine. It's your choice. I merely offer you evidence - whether or not you accept it, is up to you. Love and Light Michael. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But like everything, what works for one person may not work for another; and with over 200 types of arthritis; it certainly is not likely to work for every type either. Certainly if food intolerance is an issue; then eliminating the offending foods and replacing missing nutrients will work wonders - but also to remain free from the symptoms required adherence to avoiding all toxins in future; otherwise symptoms will return. in frith crystal & reiki rainbows Hazel Angelstar Crystals - Crystal & Reiki healing; Jewellery & Gifts incorporating crystals & gemstones www.angelstar-crystals.co.uk ------------ This email was sent using http://mail.uk2.net UK2.NET - UK's Biggest Host! - http://uk2.net Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted May 7, 2003 Don't forget that wheat includes anything made with flour unless it's made with rice flour or another kind of flour. Cookies and cake all have wheat in them as do crackers. Many soups and gravies use a base of flour which is made from wheat. I use brown rice flour to make gravy. I use rice flour to make corn bread so I can make corn bread stuffing at Thanksgiving. I even use rice flour instead of " regular " flour when I make brownies. As for Coke, anything carbonated has phosphorus which isn't good for the bones in large quantities. Coke also has caffeine. - > Hello > I hardly dont drink coffee or tea but i am addicted to coca cola... > love cheese stuff > and dont like wheat... > let me know how it went with the honey vinegar.. > > peace dorann Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted May 27, 2004 Hello, juicing veggies and fruits is what I have found works the best for elimination of arthritis and related illnesses. A good diet would be the one in Dr. Lorraine Day's video called " You Can't Improve on God " . She eliminated her breast cancer with it as well as her 85 year old mother's arthritis symptoms.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 27, 2004 Hi Linda. This is what helps me with arthritis: I absolutely avoid coffee, even decaf. For me, coffee = joint pain. I take vitamin C up to " bowel tolerance. " This means taking 1 gram less vitamin C than the amount that gives a person diarrhea. My recollection from reading is that this is somewhere between 8 and 12 grams, depending on the person. I take 12. I have come across the Vitamin C approach to arthritis many times over the years, so it must work for quite a few people. I don't know whether it is specific for osteo or rheumatoid arthritis, but I seem to have both (never got a diagnosis from an MD), and both respond to the C in my case. Since I started with the high dose of C, I have had no significant arthritis symptoms. I have read posts on another list from several people who reversed arthritis through diet. I have also read that treating hypothyroid, if that condition exists, can reverse rheumatoid arthritis flares.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 18, 2004 hello Sylph.. I've been and still am, to a large degree, in the same boat. I have/had tried all kinds of prescriptions and continue to have flare-ups. But for the last 6 months or so i have been taking MSM and it seemed to help some, but I learned that I needed to take more, according to Suzi, i think, and so I did further research and decided that that was the rout to go. My older brother had recommended it to me for some time, but my Rheumy told me it was not much good for RA. I finally decided to try it anyway, and since my right arm had gotten so bad i couldn't reach up to comb my hair, decided to really go for it and up the dosage. that was about a week ago and my arm is a *****LOT**** better and both my feet, especially the right foot had been so swollen and painfull that have been barely ambulatory for past 3 months, but have been able to keep up my garden some. since i have been taking more of it the swelling has gone down and the pain has decreased quite a lot. I'm not 'cured' but definitly improved and really have hopes for more improvement. Also for the past 5 or 6 weeks i have been weaning off prednisone from 10 mg now to 3 mg a day. If you have been going through the archives here, you probably have read about the Total Nutrician and the Total Tonic and changes in diet. I have done these things and had improved quite a lot, but the MSM really took me over the hump, at least so far<G>. I coppied various information from this mail group and other sources and if you wish, will e-mail it. it is a bit long, but not terribly. or, you can do a or google search for MSM and get a lot of information on it. I also use a number of herbs that seem to have kept it at bay to some extent. Parsley and dandelion tea daily and sometimes with some taheebo in it, honey and cinnamon, UDO oil (which is a blend of oils,) and a few others casually, and I know I would be worse were I not taking them. another really important thing for the stomach which helped me with acid reflux was/is acidophalis, DGL and vegetable enzymes. regards, grany lee herbal remedies , " spiritualsylph " <father_makenzie@h...> wrote: > Hi Everyone.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 18, 2004 Hi All, I was just reading a back issue of Herbs for Health and there was an article on connective tissue. It said that ailments like macular degeneration and rheumatoid arthritis benefit from strengthening the connective tissue. I won't go into details of the article. They explained connective tissue and what it does. From the article, here are some things they suggest: Gotu Kola Hawthorn Echinacea (mainly seems to promote tissue regeneration after injury) Grape seed extract pine bark green tea bilberry If interested in the article it is from the Jan/Feb 2004 issue and I think you can order specific issues from there site www.herbsforhealth.com. It is a great issue too- lots of yummy recipes. And from other sources, I know oatstraw, nettle, horsetail, and bone broths to also benefit connective tissue. herbal remedies , " tvksi " <leo@1...> wrote: > hello Sylph..

Guest guest Report post Posted July 20, 2004 Sylph, Let me first begin by saying that it sounds to me like you could use a very thorough cleanse. Your body is probably eaten alive by the medications you are on. Most here will also tell you to get Docs tape which you can get by emailing him from the address listed in the files. Here are a few other suggestions, all of which you can find in the files section of the : B F & C (bone, flesh and cartilage) tincture (this is found under Dr. Christopher's files) Deep Tissue Repair Oil (Doc Shillington's file) Anti-parasite/fungal formula (this is because parasites are frequently found to cause rhuematoid arthritis) Either the Cal-Calm tea or Lemon egg, both of which are good sources of calcium I hope this helps.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 11, 2005 Hello Mike, Apart from any herbal and homeopathic remedies which could help with the inflammations, I would very strongly suggest a major overhaul: 1. Total Body Cleanse 2. organic food - especially meat 3. check for any foods which aggravate the condition, such as dairy 4. exercise Herbal or homeopathic remedies will not CURE the arthritis, they can only alleviate the pain, without a substantial life style change. Blessed be, Lisa - mtg1022 herbal remedies Monday, January 10, 2005 10:14 PM Herbal Remedies - arthritis does anyone have any ideas of how to use herbals to help with arthritis??? mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
