Arthiritis

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

This is taken from " Legacy of Courage " an online book of Doc Christopher's.

 

I am making a salve from burdock root, fresh. I don't have any leaves at

this time, hopefully it should work too. I do have 1 good growing root so

hopefully with a bit of time I will get fresh leaves as well.

 

Anyway just sharing this info.

From his bag Ray took his morning's harvest of burdock.

The first burdock of the season, it had firm roots and fresh, tender leaves.

Ray chopped the roots and brewed burdock tea, and instructed the man to

drink as many cups as day as he could tolerate. Then he fashioned the

tender burdock leaves into poultices, which he gently placed over the

locked, painful joints. As he taught the man how to make his own poultices,

he prescribed a healthy diet and quarts of fresh juices.

 

 

Within weeks, the man's joints began to loosen, and for the first time

in years, he was able to stand. As the healing continued, he was able first

to walk, then to run. Eventually, he was completely healed, a stranger to

the wheelchair that had held him prisoner for so many years. Only a few

months after he first saw Dr. Christopher he was back on the job as a night

watchman, walking his rounds without difficulty.

 

 

Ray's knowledge of the gripping pain of arthritis came first-hand. As

mentioned, he was born with rheumatoid arthritis, a disease marked by joint

swelling, debilitating pain, and the destruction of bone, cartilage, and

joints. Much of his dietary knowledge came, too, from experimentation with

his own disease. When he enjoyed fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and

seeds, coupled with daily doses of olive oil or wheat germ oil, he scarcely

noticed his arthritis. But if he ate breads or pastries, he needed a cane

to walk. If he ate sweet foods laced with sugar, he became crippled. And

if he ate red meat, he was relegated to his wheelchair within forty-eight

hours.

 

 

He knew first-hand, too, the healing benefits of burdock root, which

works a chemical reaction on the calcified joints of arthritis. He

treasured it as one of the ingredients of AR-1, a formula he designed to

reverse arthritis and rheumatism. To the burdock root he added yucca stalk,

wild yam root, hydrangea, Brigham tea, chaparral, black walnut hulls, black

cohosh root, wild lettuce leaves, sarsaparilla root, valerian root, and

cayenne --herbs that detoxify and cleanse the body, remove calcium deposits,

relieve pain, and kill infection.

 

 

Over the years of his practice, Dr. Christopher saw remarkable and

complete healing of even the most advanced arthritis. He always warned

patients that healing would not be immediate, there was much rebuilding and

healing to be accomplished. In addition to AR-1, he suggested that his

patients use hot fomentations over extremely painful joints, a quart or two

of kidney bean pod tea daily, faithful adherence to sound nutritional

guidelines, and daily use of his BF & C formula.
