Remove all nightshades from your diet: tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers, paprika, tobacco.
You can read what he has to say about arthritis here...
The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook
He also has a great book called The Green Pharmacy Guide to Healing Foods: Proven Natural Remedies to Treat and Prevent More Than 80 Common Health Concerns, which you can buy on Amazon for fifteen bucks. I give it to everyone I know.
It is my understanding that if you have high blood pressure, Aleve is a BIG no-no. FYI
When I feel it getting worse, I try to eat as much pineapple as I can. The bromelain in it helps a lot.
Interesting. I have not heard of that. Thank you.
There’s a famous infomercial in which they sell a product by pointing out that “a normal colon weighs 5 lbs., but some people have impacted colons that weigh 50 lbs.” — that have to be surgically removed, or the product claims, it can reliquefy that solidified mucus so it can pass out of the body, and restore the healthful flow and function.
Basically, what that material is, is solidified mucus — that obviously no longer acts as a lubrication for the digestive tract, and in most allergic reactions, what usually concurs as a minor symptom, is increased (thickened) mucus production, as for example, most lactose-intolerant people’s problems with excessive “mucus” in addition to severe gastric upset and diarrhea.
Usually, people don’t note the presence of mucus, until it is in this thickened form when they have a cold or flu congesting their lungs — but mucus is the form in which the body stores water, or the protoplasm of every cell in the body, and lubricates every movement.
But when that liquid solidifies and no longer acts as a liquid but becomes a solid, it interferes with all the normal body processes — which actually begins to die because the thickened mucus is the body’s mechanism for isolating infections from the rest of the body, ie., the immune response, which becomes autoimmune responses in many people as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and the hundreds of other autoimmune symptoms and syndromes for which establishment medicine has no effective treatment or explanation.
I used to contact the arthritis Foundation about such things until I got an emphatic reply “that their mission is to raise funds for arthritis research and not to cure arthritis,” and they used to claim that anybody with a claim for arthritis, was a quack and a crook, until they came out with their own fundraising book on “Alternative Cures for Arthritis” — claiming they had written the book and were the sole authority on such matters.
In the meantime, as an independent exercise instructor and researcher, I noted that conventional exercise strategies were largely ineffective if not counterproductive, by stressing movement at the core and the heart — instead of the circulation expressly and directly to the extremities of the head, hands and feet, where circulation is poor or virtually nonexistent — especially with conventional exercise, which regards the extremities as merely fixed stubs — rather than the notion I pioneered, that movement (contractions) at the extremities, created a heartlike pumping effect from the extremities back to the heart — which I noted was the deficiency and weakness of the circulatory system, and so designed movements that expressly addressed that.
Those movements, are actually the optimal way to exercise in that 5 minutes of such preconditioning, is superior to every other types of movements — because it accomplishes something conventional exercise does not even recognize, with their focus on the heart and “core’ muscles, which are designed by evolution, for stability and support, rather than the movements of expression, of the extremities.
That development and optimal function, implies the development and optimal functioning of the core supportive muscles — but not vice-versa, which should be obvious to most thinking people with any kind of insight and understanding of human physiology, which most exercise instructors and proponents lack.
I am convinced that I have transitioned from the Golden Years to the Rusty Years. Argh.
Just a fact of life I suppose. I can still go to work and function. I just need meds to do it.
It didn't hit me too much until I reached fifty. Three months ago it got bad enough that I had to see rheumatologist. He didn't paint a very rosy picture but I'm learning to live with it. I still go to work and function.
I seldom feel any 'arthur' pains anymore, and haven't had a cold or the flu since I figured out you have to keep it up.
Browse that website, he has lots of good info there, and I have his book on it, so if you need anymore info give me a shout and I'll look it up.
Thank you. I will look into this.
