You may say that your arthritis is incurable, you have been told that repeatedly by your doctor, so it must be true. Well, it isn’t true, that doesn’t mean that your doctor has lied to you, unfortunately your doctor has the normal narrow mindset of a medically trained person who sees disease as something to be treated with drugs, or an operation. The ability to see disease as a result of poor nutrition and stress appears to be beyond them.
In the old days doctors used to bleed people to rid them of disease, it didn’t help, unless you consider the death of the patient being bled as a cure! Horrendous treatments have being given to patients resulting in their death, one of the worst of these being lobotomies. Lobotomy procedures were done most frequently in the United States, where approximately 40,000 persons were so treated. Great Britain performed procedures on 17,000 people, and the three Scandinavian countries had a combined figure of approximately 9,300 persons treated Rosemary Kennedy was given one of these because her father wanted her moodiness treated, she spent the rest of her life babbling incoherently like a baby, her life ruined.
Patients are still dying as a result of medical treatment, these days the deaths are often the result of prescription drugs, although this may not be apparent until enough people taking the same drug have died.Not all patients die as a result of taking prescription drugs, but their quality of life has often been compromised by not only the disease they have , but by the side effects of the drugs they take.
Does it seem reasonable to treat a sick person with an already compromised immune system, with a swag of heavy duty drugs which will ultimately overwhelm their entire system and undermine completely what little health they have left?
It may seem strange, but people care far more for their automobiles than they care for their own health. They never seem to stop to consider that a life spent consuming highly processed foods, saturated fats, sodas, artificial sweeteners, alcohol, cigarettes, fast foods, combined with a high stress lifestyle, and sleep deprivation might impact on their health in some manner.
Your joints start to scream out in protest, they are red, hot swollen, and very painful, so what do you do? You race off to your doctor, and what does your doctor do, does he, or she ask you about your diet, your allergies, your stress level, your sleep? Most probably not, a few tests will be done to determine the diagnosis, and once having diagnosed arthritis, you will be prescribed some form of NSAID to relieve the inflammation, perhaps some medication for your pain, and maybe something to help you sleep.
You will also be told that your arthritis is incurable, your only option being to become a consumer of prescription drugs to alleviate whatever problem may occur in the normal progression of your disease.
At no time do you receive any advice about nutrition, you leave the surgery with your prescriptions in hand and the message that there is no cure for your disease.
At this point before any long term damage is sustained from taking the drugs you should take responsibility for your own health and make every effort to change your diet. Begin to eat fresh organic green vegetables and fruits, whole grain cereals, and nuts. Eat less meat, or give it up altogether for a while at least, drink lots of water, give up the alcohol and cigarettes, no more diet drinks, sodas, artificial sweeteners and fast foods.
A simple change in your dietary habits can produce enormous positive change in your health , once you have experienced the benefits from eating fresh foods you will never want to return to your previous unhealthy eating habits.
