Natural Cure for Arthritis

Natural Cure and Where I Started.

The objective of writing this blog is to add extra value to those who have bought my book “Arthritis Healed Without Drugs” by constantly updating it with the very latest findings and testing and releasing it as and when I am confident it works at least for me.  It is a genuine desire to see people free of pain and rid of both Arthritis and other Western diseases.

As stated in the book it is a scientifically established fact that nearly all Western Diseasees share certain triggers and it’s a case of remove these triggers and low and behold the gun doesn’t go off or we don’t get the disease.  But here is some really good news if you already have these diseases like Cancer, Blood Pressure (high & Low), Ms, Arthritis, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes and many more by removing the triggers (this research validated the following for Cancer as that was the specific disease being researched by Dr. T Colin Campbell Professor for Nutrition at Cornall University at the time) and strong indicators that there are flow on effects for the other diseases.  I can certainly say from personal experience that whilst my Nuclear Bone Density scans shows horribly developed Arthritis in just about every load bearing joint and that I should be in severe pain and not able to even walk.  Following the program explained in the book below I am now fully pain free and last X-Rays some years ago showed Arthritis as then having signs of early onset, meaning that the disease and damage it did has actually been reversed and has also self healed.  This is consistent with the findings for Cancer.

Since writing “Arthritis Healed Without Drugs” there has been a constant amount of experimentation and progress gradually improving our success rates as we get feed back and I continue using my body as a test bed.  The biggest problem is that there is no where to turn to when we get off track and the old disease gets back on top so to give all readers a venue to openly discuss where they are at and what they are finding this blog has been set up to facilitate.

I had intended with good intentions to produce a second book namely a recipe book then a third explaining how our spiritual aspects interrelate with our physical to sometimes give undesirable effects other times good results but finding new and exciting stuff has diverted that course as these findings have taken a higher priority and can shorten the healing process.  For this reason I am writing this blog as a series of short postings to achieve the above and keep you on the same page as quickly as possible, then as I am putting it all together and eventually will become the basis of another book but you can have it in the mean time along with other papers expanding the written book to keep it right up to date.

Your questions and comments along with reports on how you are progressing, the difficult, the good and bad results helps me a lot so thanks for feed back.  They can also help others as they do their own experiments.

A quick resume of my progress since 1993

1. On June 6 1993 I was sitting in the good professor’s office when he told me I had Haemochromatosis (HCT) and it was so advanced it was terminal yet I hadn’t suffered any sickness just a bit of a niggle in my right hip from a bit of Arthritis.  HCT is an Iron overload disease, is genetically transferred.  Basically it is the opposite to anaemia, instead of being low in Iron we store too much.  The normal iron in storage readings for these tests for a healthy man in his early 50s was around the 200 units of ferritin.  At 300 one is diagnosed as full-blown HCT, my reading was almost 4,000 and the good news was that I should have 6 months to get affairs in order but not 2 years.  The bad news was that it is one of the cruellest ways to die as all the soft tissue organs start failing one after the other.
2. By March of 1995 I had beaten HCT and had it well under control
3. In late 1995 Arthritis had taken off and was ruining my life big time
4. Throughout the mid latter part of 1996 my hips were getting pretty bad and Arthritis was rampant and getting worse at a horrific rate.  My right hip was so bad it was loose in the socket, the whole top half of the ball part of the joint was crumbling and acting like sand in the joint just wearing it away at a rate of knots.
5. At this time every surgeons I went to was so negative about my chances of surviving the operation that they gave me a 50/50% chance of surviving the operation expecting my heart to give out under the anaesthetics.  You see the load all the iron had put on my heart meant I was virtually a walking time bomb most likely to go off under the anaesthetics and this is a regular side effect from HCT.
6. By October 1996 my Arthritis had developed in the right hip to the point I just had to have a full hip transplant using the very best metal prosthesis money could buy and expected to last a life time.
7. Mid 1996 I went under the John Hunter Hospitals top Heart specialist with all the tests and stress ECG, which had to be stopped part way through as he wasn’t happy. Then armed with this information I resumed looking for a Surgeon to replace my total hip and eventually finished up with the Doctor recognised as the best in my State for hips.  On presenting to him and after his thorough examination and consequent discussion I had a highest respect for him, his approach and his skills and reputation so decided much to my wife’s dismay that I said when can we do it, I knew I’d found the man I could have faith in to do a good job.
8. Armed with the whole history and these latest reports along with the print outs of the stress test ECG about ½ inch (13mm) thick hospital admission file (the likes of which the Anaesthetist had never seen the likes of.  After questioning me he realised I wasn’t a hypochondriac but seriously wanted to survive and for him to have the relevant information in case anything did happen.  After much discussion (or him questioning me) he said he had never gone into an interesting case as well prepared and wanted permission to contact a collegue overseas and possibly to try something not done here before and I gave him the ok.  A top surgeon always has a top team that I could trust and that was well founded and it was a very successful operation.
9. By August 1999 Arthritis had gone from just a few bad joints and early onset in some others to full blown in most every load bearing joint and having gone through walking sticks, Canadian Crutches, Underarm full length crutches and now the shoulders were so bad they couldn’t support the weight from the crutches I was advised that my future was in a motorised wheelchair and make it a good one because it has to last a long time.  From Arthritis this bad people just don’t recover, I was consistently told.
10.  There were just not enough replacement joints to replace the joints affected and the situation was looking totally hopeless indeed.  It was around this time I started thinking as an engineer would facing a machine that had broken down.  First he’d determine the cause, remove the cause, then fix the damage and expect the machine to work like new.  It was about this time I realised that the bad joints were not the disease and that remove one and it can just pop its head up in another joint there had to be a separate cause.  The joint wasn’t the cause, nor was it the disease it was a symptom of a disease that we didn’t see,  Applying this to cancer it was obvious that when a tumour is cut out the disease can cause another tumour to pop up somewhere else so the tumour also is just the symptom of the disease and if we follow the engineering line of thought the most important thing is to remove the disease and expect the symptoms to go away and self heal.

The human body (animal as well) is so unique and marvellous that given the right nutrition it will self heal better than drugs or surgery can ever do.  If you look at the blog posted in May 2010 there is a report from two West Australian research professors who had just received the Nobel Peace Prize talking about the opposition and morality of the big Drug Companies, very interesting.

11. By As I started down the track looking for the cause of the disease called “Arthritis” it is astounding how much there is in the public domain and how many people have found solutions.  Then I came across a website for the Hallelujah Diet and started following their teachings on a totally raw food diet and it provided me the greatest initial breakthroughs but then it seemed to stop or plateau out and go nowhere from that stage only slightly regress so something had to be missing.  From here I found a book by Dr . T. Colin Campbell called “The China Study” where the Chinese were wanting to find the cause behind Cancer a subject close to Campbell’s heart.  Long and short of that was after taking statistics from 880,000 people they determined the direct link to nutrition and Cancer that turned our medical thinking upside down.  They also found direct correlations between the same nutritional elements and Arthritis, Coronary Heart disease, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes and most all Western Diseases, where the absence of these elements meant almost no evidence of these diseases.  We live in the Hunter Valley in NSW Australia with approximately 500,000 people and the statistics for our valley is that every hour there are several people newly diagnosed with a Coronary Heart Disease, but in China they discovered a county with a similar population and in the three years they were actively taking statisticf reom their people that there was not one single person diagnosed with a new Coronary Heart Disease, what’s more not one single person under 65 died of a heart related disease.  I asked myself the question “Is it possible they are doing something right?”  This is covered more fully in the book “Arthritis Healed Without Drugs” and available from www.healedwithoutdrugs.com.au  and along with diet and how I went from a crippled with Arthritis, to free of Arthritis, overcame the heart disease to the point where instead of only a very short life expectancy, to longer than normal and both prognosis from the same Professor.  How I overcame Diabetes, HCT, almost fully Impotent to back to Normal, the threat of Prostate Cancer and finally how I am presently reversing a hugely enlarged benign Prostate without drugs or surgery.
12. By 2003 the effects from my iron overloads (HCT) were now starting to affect so many soft tissue organs particularly the endocrine organs that control the sexual functions were really kicking in with devastating effects.  Libido was almost non existent and when ever it did work it usually failed to last or finish, terribly demoralising for a bloke.  Tests showed that my testosterone and DHEA was very low so under a specialist I went on DHEA and Testosterone supplementation with regular tests to get the dosage right and whilst it did do a reasonable job at that it has a devastating side effect.  My Prostate that was 13cc in 1996, a normal size it grew to almost 400cc and the amount I could urinate dropped from 450cc to just 50cc at the worst and I was getting up as many as 14 times a night.  Today I am up to 300cc pees of a night and sometimes sleeping through without needing to get up (usually once or twice).  The two stones in the bladder measuring 12 and 13mm diam.(1/2 inch) dissolved and passed, and improvements are still continuing.  There is also a chapter in the above book and more will follow in this blog later.
13. By January 05 I had been diagnosed with Diabetes with readings of 7.6 to 10.4 where as they like it under 5 and 7 is diagnosed as diabetes.  Today this is under 5 and I am on no treatment and sticking to my own diet.
14. Most all the above challenges have been as a result of HCT and will be gradually be enlarged on in later postings to this blog so as to add to what is written in the book and update it with our latest findings and tests.
15. Finally whilst enjoying the benefits of good health it has been helped immensely by the study done on the people who live long and productive lives like the older people of Okinawa, eg: like the old lady of 103 years who had just got her first paid job and the old Buddhist monks of Tibet who live well past the century and of course my mentor who was expected to not see his 40^th birthday and when he was 114 came home from his business having put in a solid days work, lay down for a little nap before tea and just didn’t wake up.
    
    To me that’s life worth living to be totally fulfilled and motivated to the last breath with his life’s work till well over the century then just going to sleep.  That’s a good exit.
16.  

As of this date in August 2010 I enjoy almost perfect health with the odd sniffle, refuse to take the Flue injections as I see it better to boost the immune than have manufactured chemicals (like mercury in the vaccinations and foreign bugs) as a strong immune can not only ward off the flue but many more plus it also helps in the regrowth of tissue, bones and all parts of the body far better than factory manufactured synthetic substances.

These are topics that will along with a number of others on how I beat these many disease and am living a fulfilled life full of joy and expectation.   In addition to this these are just the physical aspects of what I did to overcome adversity and now be able to look back with satisfaction.  In addition to this I do have a faith which has helped no end but in respect to people who just don’t want a bar of that I have decided to respect them and only share the aspects that are so powerful they work without added faith however it is my established observation that they work even better with it, never the less this blog will remain totally objective with no reference to that faith and it will be discussed in another blog and so anyone who chooses to can go visit it as a matter of their choice and not have it rammed down their neck, but be assured this blog is not dependant on it and remains totally objective to that end.
