ABOUT ARTHRITIS
Arthritis can come on as a result of diet, overuse of joints, calcium absorptions
problems, injury, or emotional issues. The symptoms are a reflection of our
lifestyle.
Arthritic conditions explained: We can see joint inflammations which develop pain; stiffness
associated with inflammation or as a separate issue; injuries or over-use can cause
inflammation; stiffening or swelling can be combined or separate; joints may deform, or bony
growths may appear in or around the joints. Several symptoms may happen together, or
individually
Gouty arthritis comes when the body is unable to digest protein, and the kidneys are unable to
get rid of uric acid. Uric acid crystals may end up in the joints of the large toe, ankles, knees,
and other parts of the body.
Rheumatoid arthritis is chronic condition where joints are inflamed, stiffen, swell and deform
as a result of chronic inflammation and overuse. One cause can be from the results of abnormal
calcium and deposits in the wrong place in the body creating conditions of bone spurs. Many of
the homeopathic remedies have to do with the thyroid and parathyroid (4 small glands which
sit on top of the thyroid; they regulate calcium metabolism.)
Modern medicine treats arthritic conditions by attempting to contain the symptoms using toxic
drugs that bring about side effects. The drug companies have designed medications to be used
for a lifetime. Western medicine considers all chronic conditions to be irreversible. This view is
so prevalent that most people believe the fallacy. Dont be fooled into thinking there is only
one way.
Prescription medications may interfere with the action of homeopathic treatment. They
hamper or stop the action of the homeopathic remedy in the body. Steroids such as prednisone
are the most addicting and the hardest to remove. Medications can only be removed or altered
with a physicians advice. As your body is regulated under the influence of drugs, slowly wean
off medications, allowing for an easier transition.
