Arthritis - Pain Free Naturally

My Own Osteoarthritis Tips

In the morning 
1Tbsp Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, 1tsp Manuca Honey, some warm water. 

Mid Morning
1 Sachet of Dona -  Crystalline Glucosamine Sulfate
You can purchase this in most pharmacies and it costs around €27.00. 
The online price is $28.75 which you can get if you click on the above link. In certain countries this may be obtained via your GP on your medical card.

Daily
1-2 Advanced Multi-Billion Dophilus capsules from Solgar
I suggest taking 2 for the first month and then probably just one after that.
This product is formulated to protect from stomach acidity, helping to maintain a healthy intestinal flora.  In Ireland these cost about €28, online the price varies between $16 and $21.00.

Bathe hands/feet daily in Epsom Salts - 20 minutes. A cup of Epsom salts in a bowl, with water as hot as you can take.  Keep topping hot water up.  You can reuse this water 2 or 3 times.  Just heat it up when you need it again.  If taking a bath, put in 2 cups of Epsom Salts, but this would be recommended only 2 to 3 times weekly 

Lifestyle plays a huge role in health.  As science progresses - it would appear that we will  live longer but not necessarily healthier.  If you are interested in participating and some times sharing some good stuff - (natural and organic where possible), join us on our voyage of discovery towards pain free arthritis.

As a long time arthritis sufferer, I have had some good results on different treatments, however, most of these were too rigorous to maintain and I keep slipping back into bad habits. I believe in an holistic approach and look at the various factors that play a key role in our well-being. More than ever today, the old saying, "You are what you eat" applies.  Good digestion is crucial - we need to absorb the good elements of what we eat and drink and eliminate the toxins. Today, I am starting a diary towards including some better alternatives into my lifestyle that are easily maintained towards my quest for a pain free, mobile life. Today, I have measured my pain/stiffness level at 7. Join me and let's share!

Recommended products should be available from any good health store or pharmacy but I have also given online links where you can obtain them. The online products are generally cheaper, especially in Ireland and the UK, but remember to factor in transport costs. Not everybody gets the same result from treatments, so I suggest making this your own customised programme. It's always easier to maintain doing something we like.

I recommend reading A Doctor's New Proven Home Cure for Arthritis 
I read the original book and followed the recommendations in it.  I got incredible results within a month.  At that time I had not been taking any pain medication for arthritis, sometimes these slow down the individual's response as there is more toxin in the body to deal with.  Alternatively, Patrick Holford, the world renowned UK Nutritionist's book, Patrick Holford Says No To Arthritis 

Pain Management  
If  you suffer from pain, you know how debilitating it is.  What I find the most difficult to cope with, is my low energy levels, this can also cause depression - due to exhaustion from the pain. Many people are claiming excellent results from TENS the (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) for all kinds of pain.  It is believed that TENS works via two mechanisms - closing of nervous system "gates" through which pain signals travel;and the relief of endorphins, the body's natural mechanism for suppressing pain. Amazon currently have 2 on special offer reduced from $500 to $65.00.  Get yours now. Click on the TENS link above.


In the course of the next weeks, we will discuss herbs, oils, remedies, food, and other alternative treatments recommended by our readers for arthritis.  Happy Pain Relief.

PS: If you are currently taking any medication or have medical issues, before undertaking any recommendations, please consult your doctor.
