It is time we take responsibility for our own health and empower our own Immune System. Most pharmaceuticals only treat the symptoms.

Western medicine solutions, though needed at times when we have ignored all the symptoms that try to capture our attention, are often invasive, expensive and painful, relying too heavily on surgery and drugs which all to often have negative side effects. To get to the cause of all major illness, we can help ourselves a great deal and often can eradicate the cause of the illness by using food as medicine, as it was intended. Arthritis is one illness which can be treated to a large extent by using food as medicine, from my research and experience.
This post is not intended to treat, prevent or cure any disease and is not endorsed by the FDA. However, by using food as medicine, we often can restore and maintain optimal health. By consuming large quantities of animal fats (excluding fish oil), dairy; and acidic things like coffee, alcohol, soda, milk and fried foods, we increase the likelihood of dysfunctional symptoms that can bring on our own diseases. We all eat food everyday. Why not eat the food known to alleviate the diseases that plague us?
Our world today is filled with poison, heavy metals and newly emerging viruses. We strengthen our Immune Systems when we feed it the right fuel, PHYTOCHEMICALS. I will share more about phytochemicals in upcoming posts.
Natural remedies in nature, like distilled water, benefit the body by hydrating our bodies with the best ph7 balance drink.
Dr. Alexander Graham Bell said, “I have found distilled water is a sovereign remedy for my rheumatism. I attribute my almost perfect health largely to distilled water.”
Dr. Allen Banik, O.D. said, “Distilled water should play a most important part of the treatment for arthritis.”
Drinking ONLY distilled water a lot throughout the day is a wonderfully natural help for those of us with arthritis. Distilled water draws out inorganic minerals that lead to calcium deposits and countless other health problems.
Other remedies suggested from the food course in the Qigong Teacher training I went through with Jeff Primack, suggest 1 Tablespoon of Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate combined with 1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar in four ounces of water – twice a day. He says, “This is especially helpful for gout, but all forms of arthritis will benefit from Cherry’s COX-2 Inhibitors that reduce pain and inflammation.” Cherry is known to remove uric acid, also helpful for those who suffer from kidney stones. Apple Cider Vinegar is well-known for helping arthritis.
Natural Eggshell Membrane, 500mg, once or twice daily is known to have the building blocks of cartilage, helpful for Osteoarthritis since it greatly helps with pain and rebuilding joints. Primack says, “No other food helps to build joints like this.”
He also suggests taking 3 grams of DHA everyday with meals. This is a high dose for decreasing body inflammation, and has been shown to greatly help with arthritis. DHA is beneficial for people with heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis and depression, according to Primack.
Turmeric Curry, whose yellow-orange pigment is called Curcumin, is nature’s anti-inflammatory, gift to humanity. “In numerous studies, Curcumin has been shown to be comparable to the potent drugs hydrocortisone and phenylbutazone as well as over the counter anti-inflammatory agents such as Motrin. Unlike these drugs, which are associated with significant toxic effects, Turmeric has no side effects.
“Cancer is very afraid of Turmeric being in your diet. New research conducted at University of Texas suggests that even when breast cancer is already present, Curcumin within Turmeric can help slow the spread of breast cancer cells in mice. In another laboratory study on human lymphoma cells published in the September 2005 issue of Biochemical Pharmacology, University of Texas researchers showed Cucumin, one of the many active phytochemicals in Turmeric, was found to suppress cancer cells. Early phase 1 clinical trials at the University of Texas are now looking into Turmeric’s chemo-preventive therapeutic properties against myeloma and pancreatic cancer,” said Primack.
It is interesting to note that prostate cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in American men with 500,000 cases appearing each year. In India, prostate cancer is a rare occurrence among men, whose low risk is attributed to a diet rich in the Curry spice. Turmeric improves your liver’s ability to detoxify and has been shown to help people with Alzheimer’s disease.
Try substituting your regular breakfast with this high-phytochemical food healing system recipe for pain/arthritis and inflammation made in a high powered blender (like Blended):
2 cups distilled water
30 cherries, remove pits
1/2 organic cucumber with skin and seeds
1 small papaya without seeds
1 pineapple stem (the bulb between the leaves and the pineapple – it is course and needs high-powered blender)
1 inch pineapple slice (skin removed)
1 ounce Goji berries
2 nodes fresh cilantro
1 inch slice fresh ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric power
If at all humanly possible, take the Qigong Class taught by Jeff Primack, and the extra food course he offers, which is based on Naturopathic Food Healing Science. It is worth its weight in gold.
