-- Cure the patient, and lose the revenue stream.

-- Treat the symptoms, and the patient will pay you for

the rest of his life.

 

 

Is that what you are finding? Is your doctor talking

about pain management as

arthritis treatment, and nothing else? Then it is time

you looked further! It

is YOUR responsibility to make sure you are dealing with

a doctor who looks

for causes, not merely relieves the pain symptoms. There

are many good doctors

out there, you just have to keep looking till you find

one. And when you do,

pass the word around!

 

" Rheumatoid Arthritis " is not one single

disease, but a catch-all diagnosis

for many different causes, over 190 known different

diseases, and probably

more. Many are curable! But will Your doctor try to find

out which of those 190

diseases you really have? Or take the easy and profitable

way out by simply

prescribing pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs for

the rest of your life?

 

I hope you check every one of these options. You never

know which one will

lead You to YOUR cure. When the doctors say it can't be

cured, it means the

multi-billion dollar pharmo-medical industry does not see

enough profit in

investing in a Permanent Cure -- But you do! When they

used heavy legal mu$cle to

force the former tenant of this web nook out over a

dubious name similarity, a

tenant who spoke of CURES, not profitable pain relief; we

used our

constitutional right to Freedom of Speech and put up

these pointers to good information to

help You.

 

Don't get stuck on pain killers, anti-inflammatory drugs,

and mind numbing

drugs to deal with pain! Stop the destruction, end the

expense, and let your

body heal by curing the CAUSE!

 

With so many pointers here, why not bookmark this page

now so you can find it

again, and don't forget to tell your friends about it. Or

better yet, e-mail

them a copy! Just fill in the E-Mail Routing Slip at the

And yes, I HAD arthritis. After years limping around on a

cane and being

advised this was permanent, it ended a week after I

started rotating my diet. My

cause was leaky gut syndrome, caused in turn by Candida

Albecans. That may or

may not help you; there are many other causes, and many

other cures. So my

advice to you is: Keep Looking! There ARE real and often

permanent CURES!

-- The book " The Arthritis Breakthrough " , by

Scammell, www.rheumatic.org,

details MIRA therapy, a University tested PERMANENT CURE

for many forms of

arthritis, psoriasis, and associated problems which are

caused by mycoplasmas and

mycobacteria. Worth checking out AFTER you've read the

rest of this page.

Remember, there are MANY causes, not just one!

 

-- Keep a Foods, Feelings and Faculties Diary and review

it at least every

week or two to see what triggers your conditions. Many

arthritic symptoms are

triggered by allergies. Exposures cause antioxidant

levels to fall, causing

antibodies to become activated, and attack joint tissue.

Dairy and beef products

are common causes of this phenomenon. See: " How the

Immune System Works, and

Fails, in Allergies " ,

http://www.mall-net.com/mcs/immune.html

 

-- Food Rotation: Many forms of arthritis seem to benefit

from Immune System

relief obtained by a rotating diet plan. (It cured my

arthritis; but you may

have a different cause for your arthritis. Remember,

" arthritis " is a catch-all

diagnosis.) This is particularly effective if one has

Candida Albecans or

other yeast / fungus infections which can cause Leaky Gut

Syndrome. Sugar makes

this worse! (See BBC: Why Sugar Kills.)

http://www.mall-net.com/mcs/aller.html#gut

 

-- Foods: Arthritis tends to occur in developed countries

where animal

products, including dairy products, are eaten in larger

quantities. Dr. McDougall

(of " The McDougall Diet " fame) writes about

low/no animal product diets,

referencing other studies. McDougall - Arthritis

Improvement is very often seen in a

few days to a few weeks. This is certainly an inexpensive

thing to try for a

week or two before starting all the expensive immune

system suppressing drugs

and pain killers!

http://www.drmcdougall.com/science/arthritis.html Also,

the elimination of

animal products may substantially reduce the risk of some

forms of

Alzheimers-type problems caused by transmissible

spongiform encephalopathies (aka BSE, Mad

Cow Disease, etc. mcs/madcow, www.Mad-cow.org); as well

as providing

substantial reduction in cholesterol levels.

 

CMO, cerasomal-cis-9-cetylmyristoleate, is a controversial

new chemical

treatment for some types of arthritis. CMO, while not as

useful for food allergy

related forms of arthritis, may still be worth looking

into. Since the mechanism

by which CMO works are not as well understood at present,

and since this is a

beef tallow product, some caution may be advised. A few

weeks of simple food

rotation is cheaper and less risky, but it is easier and

would seem to have

less risk of Candida involvement than the above

antibiotic approach. You should

get tested for Lyme disease (below) anyway, because that

can produce other

long term problems as well. Remember: cure the cause, not

the symptoms! That

means you need to try to find out what the cause is

before going off trying things

at random. But if no one can tell you what the cause

is... well, you can't

succeed if you don't try!

 

-- Candida Albecans is often a major problem, either as a

direct cause, or as

a contributing factor to Arthritis symptoms. Could you

have Candida / Yeast

problems? Try Dr. Crook's Candida Quiz. There are many

Anti-Fungal foods and

treatments, but to improve one's chances, one needs All

the Pieces.

-- Low Body Temperature, Wilson's Syndrome is another

common problem. The

body loses up to 20% of the efficiency of key enzymatic

processes for every

degree F below normal body temperature. (40% per degree

C!) This reduces the body's

ability to repair and regenerate itself. An average body

temperature of below

98.2 is considered significant. Effects can range from

mild moodiness to

cognitive deficits in the short run, as well as problems

ranging from arthritic

degeneration through scleroderma in the long run.

Lyme Disease and several related diseases can causes

arthritic type problems.

Be sure to get tested even if don't remember that bull's

eye rash. (Lyme is

really an old and world wide disease; not something that

just " popped up "

recently.) Odd cure: http://www.lymephotos.com

 

Other Causes and Cautions at

http://www.health-today.net/arthritis.htm

mention diet, damage caused by NSAIDs, (Non-Steroidal

Anti-Inflammatory Drugs,) etc.

That's right, your arthritis medicines may actually be

causing further damage

to your joints! (And some would say leave out the

" may " .)

Dietary Sweeteners, we won't name names, have been known

to cause many side

effects ranging from arthritis to vision disturbances.

Phosphates, often from drinking soda pop, are known to

interfere with the

absorption of calcium and thus promote arthritis and

osteoporosis.

 

-- Magnesium has long been known to aid arthritis

sufferers. My mother's

arthritis pains diminished markedly on higher doses of

magnesium.

 

-- Vitamin C. Dosage related to Arthritis and other

diseases is detailed in

Dr. Cathcart's famous article on Titrating (determining

vitamin C dosages.)

http://www.mall-net.com/cathcart/titrate.html

 

-- Glucosamine Sulphate has also been reported of benefit,

as has Magnesium

These, and many other nutritional supplements, may by

found in Doc C's

Nutrition Store

http://www.DocC.com Chondroitin, although often

recommended, is less well

absorbed that Glucosamine Sulphate and may cause other

problems.

Many of the other Effects on the Mind, from lethargy to

depression, from

disorganization to inappropriate behavior can be caused

by related biochemical

imbalances as well as spinal joint problems.

 

Some say that infected teeth or bad root canals can cause

long term immune

problems which may lead to some forms of arthritis. See

Cover-up " by George E. Meinig, D.D.S, F.A.C.D. ISBN

Others lay part of the blame on mercury amalgam dental

fillings. Some find

their removal helps considerably, others find little

difference. See Dr. Hal. A.

Huggins, " It's All in Your Head -- The link between

Mercury Amalgams and

Illness " , ISBN 0-89529-550-4
