Alternative Medicine for Arthritis: Natural Treatments For Arthritis
Anti-Inflamatory
The best alternative medicine for arthritis is change in diet. About one in seven Americans suffer from some form of arthritis. The most prevalent forms are rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, and inflammation of the spine and hip. Many sufferers choose to take aspirin and other forms of synthetic pain relievers, but this has proven to cause bleeding ulcers. This only makes your overall health worse. Besides that, aspirin only masks the pain, leaving you to think you’re getting better. Let’s take a look at some remedies that will actually heal you from arthritis and make you feel great!
Alternative Medicine For Arthritis: Heavy Metal Toxicity
A series of French studies have been performed finding that autoimmune diseases, including arthritis, can be triggered by heavy metal accumulations in the system. Silver/mercury amalgam dental fillings are the biggest culprits.
When these fillings are removed, arthritis symptoms are relieved. The vitamin Niacin also helps to eliminate heavy metal toxins in the tissues in doses of 2,000 to 3,000 mgs per day.
Alternative Medicine For Arthritis: Change In Diet
About ten percent of arthritis patients have been found to be allergic to the solanine family of plants. These include potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers.
Do your own study. For two weeks eliminate these foods from your diet and see if it alleviates the pain. If it does, I believe your body is in need of detoxification.
When the body rejects organic, whole foods, then something is not right. It usually means the body is overly toxic. Most allergies can be healed through cleansing of the system.
Numerous studies have been done on “dietary fat”. When arthritis sufferers changed over to a fat free diet, arthritis symptoms vanished. But symptoms returned within three days of ingesting fatty foods again.
These studies were based on vegetable and animal fats, not natural fats. There is a difference. Natural fats from olives, coconuts, flax seeds, and nuts will not cause arthritis pain.
Alternative Medicine For Arthritis: Sun Therapy
The use of sunlight for treating arthritis dates back for centuries. In Russia, many of the miners who worked in the dark all day suffered from arthritis and joint pain.
The miners are now allowed time out for sunlight during the day. It has shown remarkable improvement in pain relief from arthritis and inflammation.
Incorporating a high Vitamin D diet and sunlight has shown great promise for arthritis sufferers.
Alternative Medicine For Arthritis: Homeopathy
Both chlorophyll and garlic have shown to be effective in treating painful joints and inflammation. Chlorophyll can be taken as a supplement or in green food drinks, such as Green Magma, Barley Green, Kye Green and Green Radiance.
You can also eat your chlorophyll through sprouting alfalfa and wheat grass for juicing. Both have been known to prevent disease and sickness.
There is also a Chinese remedy for arthritis pain called Tin Tzat that is quite effective in relieving joint pain in the hands and wrists.
