Arthritis
in its different forms, together with rheumatism
or rheumatic diseases, is the largest complex of chronic
diseases in our society. Sooner or later it affects nearly
everyone in one way or another.
The
very fact of this widespread nature of arthritis and rheumatism
shows that there is no medical solution for it. Therefore
conventional medicine prefers to regard it as natural
that we develop arthritis as we get older. However, there
have been many traditional or “primitive”
societies where old people reportedly did not get arthritis.
Therefore it cannot be natural, but rather an outgrowth
from an unnatural lifestyle.
To
this effect natural therapists and progressive medical
practitioners stress a return to more natural living conditions,
and especially an appropriate and healthy diet as a precondition
to prevent and overcome arthritis and rheumatic diseases.
In addition to sanitizing the gastro-intestinal tract
and strengthening the immune system, we need to eliminate
the systemic microbial infections which are commonly at
the base of this disease complex. In this way you should
be able to prevent and overcome your arthritis regardless
of your age.
