A Safe and Natural Way to Cure Arthritis


The Pain of Arthritis

You know what arthritis is and what it feels like whether it's rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis, etc. The unbearable pain you feel especially in the morning when first waking up and having to run your hands under hot water to help alleviate the pain. I know exactly what it's like. I had arthritis. But after much searching and persistence I found a way to beat arthritis once and for all. I will be laying out steps you can start taking today, to start on the path to eliminating the pain of arthritis once and for all. All it takes is 4 different "phases" as I like to call it, and a strong commitment with a strong desire to become pain-free.

Why Drugs Will NOT Work

First off, let me tell you why any type of so called arthritis drug will not help you but in fact harm you even more. You've seen the television commercials advertising over-the-counter drugs and prescription drugs offering relief from arthritis but let me tell you now, no over-the-counter medications or prescription drugs sold by the big drug companies is ever going to help you. That's just a fact. Why? Because these drugs do not address the underlying problem associated with arthritis. They may relieve the pain to a certain extent but the cartilage in your joints is damaged and your joints are still rubbing against each other. Once the drugs wear off, the pain comes back. Masking the pain is only going to lead to further joint degeneration and destruction. What you need to do is get to the root of the problem which is what I will show you.


Doctors give drugs of which they know little,
into bodies, of which they know less,
for diseases of which they know nothing at all

Phase One - Nutrition

Your diet is the foundation for the elimination of arthritis. Take a moment and examine what kind of foods you are eating on a daily basis. Are they healthy foods? Fast food? Junk food? This may not be what some of you want to hear but the first step towards becoming pain-free is to eliminate all junk food from your diet. If you are sick and tired of being in pain then the choice is easy but it's up to you. So to start off, you need to eliminate all fast foods, junk foods, sweets, carbonated drinks and flour. Flour has been proven to inflame arthritic conditions. Eat "clean" foods (unprocessed), fruits, vegetables, lean chicken breasts, fish, nuts and whole grains. Water. You need to drink LOTS of water. Water helps flush out toxins from the body and is a very important component in the elimination of the pain of arthritis. Continue this diet for about 2-4 weeks.

Phase Two - Detoxification

After a few weeks of "clean eating" you will start to feel better but be warned, because you are now eating healthy, your body will start to eliminate toxins from your body and there may be certain times where you feel an unusually higher amount of pain. This is actually good, it's called a "healing crisis". All this means is that your body is eliminating the toxins that have been stored in your body for years and have contributed to your arthritic condition. The next phase after you have been on a clean diet for a few weeks is probably the hardest but it is also the most effective: fasting. Fasting has tremendous healing effects especially on arthritic conditions. Start off by fasting just one day out of each week and eventually work up to a straight 3-5 days eating no food and just drinking water. This will further detoxify your body. On the third day of a fast you may experience a painful healing crisis, but do not be alarmed, it will pass and after this point, you may experience complete and total relief from all arthritic pain. This is what happened to me on the third night of my fast. I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain throughout my entire body that lasted maybe about an hour or so and then passed. Then in the morning when I awoke, it was like a miracle, I had NO pain at all. I simply woke up and got out of bed as if I never had pain in my life. I had previously suffered for six years. I wasn't hunched over in pain and I didn't have to run my fingers through hot water. The joints in my fingers at this point had also become less swollen.

Phase Three - Supplementation

The next phase involves continuing to get to the root of the problem by taking all natural supplements. These supplements are MSM, glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate. These three supplements combined will help further detoxify the body plus they will also help rebuild damaged cartilage which is one of the main reasons arthritis causes so much pain. You can find these supplements at your local health store or supermarket. Incorporate these supplements in you daily diet each day to keep on eliminating the pain and flushing out toxins and rebuilding the cartilage tissue surrounding your joints.

Phase Four - Exercise

When you stop moving, you start dying. What happens to a corpse after someone dies? It starts to stiffen. That's what happens to us especially if you have an arthritic condition. You need to keep those joints loose and warm and the best way to do that is start moving. Exercise doesn't have to be a chore. All it takes is 15-20 minutes a day. Take a walk around the park, park your car a little further when you go to the supermarket. You can easily incorporate some type of exercise into your daily routine. The key is to keep moving, don't become sedentary.

Conclusion

Eliminating the pain of arthritis doesn't take a miracle, just some practical guidelines that anyone can follow and a willingness to follow through with the outlined steps above and wanting to enjoy a pain-free life. If you follow the steps above, you will become pain-free. As always, before beginning any type of diet or training regiment, always be sure to consult your doctor. Here's to a pain-free life.
