Arthritis is a devastating degenerative disease of the joints that causes inflammation, pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited movement.
According to the CDC, an estimated 46 million adults in the United States suffer with some form of arthritis - rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, fibromyalgia, or lupus. 28.3 million women and 18.1 million men have been diagnosed with arthritis.
In 2003, the total cost attributed to arthritis and other rheumatic conditions in the United States was 128 billion dollars, up from 86.2 billion dollars in 1997. Medical expenditures (direct costs) for arthritis and other rheumatic conditions in 2003 were 80.8 billion dollars, up from 51.1 billion in 1997. These costs have no doubt skyrocketed today, six years later.
In 2004, there were 454,652 total knee replacements performed, primarily for arthritis. There were 232,857 total hip replacements, 41,934 shoulder, and 12,055 other joint replacements. Again, these statistics have drastically increased since 2004.
Why does modern medicine continue to focus on treatments that consist of expensive, dangerous pain-reducing, anti-inflammatory drugs and risky surgery? Think about it: If the truth about the cause, prevention, and healing of arthritis were released to the public, modern medicine would quickly loose one of its most profitable specialties. So, in their own self-interest, doctors keep this important information a secret. However, it’s our responsibility to educate ourselves and find alternatives to this deadly money-making machine.
A few weeks ago I read an article that focused on the natural treatments for arthritis & gout that relieve joints pain and suffering. Again, there was no mention of the cause, prevention, or healing of arthritis. While I agree that arthritis can be “treated” by natural remedies but that’s not the same as healing, or not being afflicted with the disease in the first place.
According to nutritional scientist Gary Tunsky, N.D., 95% of all diseases and suffering in this country is caused by nutritional deficiencies and cellular toxicities (accumulation of toxins). These two conditions, which always occur together, are the primary result of:
> A poor diet; An inverted way of living; Food and beverage contaminants; Continuous exposures to toxic air and environmental contaminants
> An overabundance of toxic chemicals absorbed through the skin from chlorine, fluoride, water contaminants, and from the unlimited and unseen toxins found in many soaps, shampoos, deodorants, toothpaste, cosmetics, and household cleaners.
As you can see, personal responsibility and lifestyle choices play a vital role in the natural solution to 95% of all disease and suffering in this country, including arthritis.
And what modern medicine fails to reveal to the public is that once the body is properly nourished and toxic waste eliminated, the cells are capable of absorbing oxygen and nutrients again. Then the organs and systems will self-heal and return to balance and order.
What does the body need to return to balance and order? Of paramount importance, it needs a plant-based diet, exercises, sunshine, plenty of filtered water, rest, and the proper whole food nourishment that strengthens and enables cells to function properly. If cells were able to perform their job, medication and surgery would not be necessary!
After suffering from chronic disease, including arthritis, for nearly 20 years, I regained health by implementing a system of lifestyle and dietary adjustments, herbal whole food nourishment, and maximizing the body’s natural healing power to heal itself. At the young age of 65, I feel better today than I’ve ever felt in my life. I wake up with energy galore! My zest for life is incredible!
