Diet Strategy
In the past, medical researchers refused to acknowledge that diet,
nutrition, and food allergies could play a role in immune function and
arthritis. Today, however, proper diet and nutrition are believed
to be key elements in the prevention of all types of disease, including
arthritis.
Listed below are some common food allergens of arthritis
patients:
 |
Dairy products |
|
Beef |
|
Wheat (especially gluten) |
|
Yeast |
|
Eggs |
|
Oranges |
|
Sugar (especially soft drinks) |
|
Nuts (especially peanuts) |
|
Corn |
|
Nightshades (eggplants, potatoes, green & red
peppers, tomatoes, paprika, tobacco) |
If you think you have arthritis, you may want to be
tested for allergies. When the aggravating substances are greatly
reduced or eliminated, the arthritis is usually relieved or even
eliminated.
Outlined below is a 3 phase strategy that could
dramatically improve your
overall health condition. Try this for at least 30 days and I am
sure you
will see a difference. And make sure you drink lots of pure
filtered
water!
Phase One - Detox
Depending on your physical
condition, you may need to detox. Toxins are at the root of most
diseases, and once they are removed, health and well being return. An
effective detoxification plan removes the source of disease symptoms,
such as aspartame or radiation poisoning, detoxifies toxic residue from
the body, and replaces specific nutrients to regain a state of
wellness.
Review here the Ten Steps To Detoxification by Dr.
Janet Starr Hull.
She is an expert on the
dangers of the artificial sweetener aspartame and has developed a
unique nutritional program and Ten Steps To Detoxification for disease
recovery. Her experience and research led to a breakthrough concept for
treatment of illness by identifying and eliminating the causes at the
root of disease. Dr. Hull is also the author of the best selling
book: Sweet Poison: How The World’s Most Popular Artificial
Sweetener Is Killing Us - My Story.
Phase Two - Alkaline
Diet
Arthritis sufferers commonly have a high level of
acidity which increases the potential for developing inflammatory
conditions. Acidity can be decreased by reducing your intake of
acid-forming foods and increasing intake of alkaline-forming
foods. Plan
your diet to eat 75% alkaline foods.
Acid-forming foods (examples):
|
Sugar (soft drinks) |
|
Meat (beef, chicken, fish) |
|
Dairy products (milk, cheese, ice cream) |
|
Most grains (wheat, oats, corn, rice and their flours) |
|
Coffee |
|
Alcohol |
|
Peanuts |
|
Chocolate |
|
Corn Oil
|
Alkaline-forming foods
(examples):
|
Most fresh vegetables (spinach,
broccoli, celery, lettuce, cucumber, carrots, garlic) |
|
Most fresh fruits (apples,
avocados, lemons, figs, oranges, melons) |
|
Grains (millet, amaranth,
buckwheat, quinoa, wild rice) |
|
Whey Protein powder |
|
Almonds |
|
Herb Teas, green tea |
|
Virgin Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Phase
Three - Supplements
Vitamins,
minerals, herbs, and other natural supplements can provide
effective relief without the side effects of conventional drugs.
1)
One of the first products I would try is Liquid Glucosamine.
My wife and I have found it more successful then taking pills.
Glucosamine
is an important nutrient for repairing joint, cartilage, and tissue
damage and
it reduces inflammation.
2)
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are unsaturated fats required in the
diet and are valuable for the prevention of arthritis because of their
anti-inflammatory characteristics. Many people do not have enough
Omega-3 oil (DHA
& EPA) in their system unless they eat a lot of fish and therefore
would
find a supplement helpful. Click on the banner below for more
information about a high quality fish oil supplement.
3) Amazon Thunder Acai
is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory health supplement. It
is the purest, most potent and only sugar free organic Acai product
available today. Drink it plain or in a smoothie. You will love it.
(This is not an MLM company and you can order direct).
The Acai (ah-sigh-ee) berry was
even mentioned on the Oprah show as "one of the most nutritious and
powerful foods in the world!"
By following the above steps,
you are almost sure to improve your health.
