Talking sense on arthritis

October 2, 2009

If you’re one of the regular readers of Health Revelations, then you already know all about my plan to combat rheumatoid arthritis.

It’s a little too long to explain here, but I’ve found the heart of it to be a food allergy. As I laid out my simple, safe and natural step-by-step plan, I predicted that every doctor will be treating it my way within 10 years.

Maybe we won’t have to wait 10 years after all.

After decades of refusing to accept any of the substantial evidence of food’s role in this condition, the New York Times recently examined the latest research… and concluded that there may be something to it after all.

I had to read it three or four times, then call my wife over to read it to me just to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.

Once she assured me that there was nothing wrong with my vision, I sat down and read it again.

They almost have it right, saying “there is some evidence that certain diets may help with arthritis symptoms.”

But of course, they’re not quite there yet. For one, they never used the word “allergy” when they talked about food as a potential source of the problem. And they looked at overall diets – the Mediterranean diet, for example, and vegetarian diets, rather than how specific foods trigger symptoms in people, which can differ widely from one person to another.

It’s not easy to undo decades of poor education on arthritis. The drug companies sure as heck don’t want you to know that there’s a simple, drug-free solution. They make billions on these meds, and they’ll do everything they can to make sure that gravy train stays on the tracks.

But many of my patients are having the last laugh, throwing out their meds for good as they stop and even reverse their damage from rheumatoid arthritis. You can wait a few more years for the mainstream to finish the turnaround and start treating RA this way – or you can subscribe to Health Revelations, read the June issue in the online archives, and get healthy now.

Then you’ll have the last laugh, too.
