-- 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

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

 

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!

Auto-Ref mini search engine will suggest other pages that may interest you.

 

-- Books and Nutritional Supplements are available at Doc C's Nutrition Store

-- 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.)

-- 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 " The Root Canal

Cover-up " by George E. Meinig, D.D.S, F.A.C.D. ISBN 0-945196-19-9. Bion

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
