Natural Arthritis Remedies

Ridding the body of arthritis is often one of the easiest and fastest natural remedies.

What Causes Arthritis?

• Inflammation
• Calcium deficiency
• Protein deficiency
• Dehydration
• Misalignment

This doesn’t mean it’s time to make an appointment with your chiropractor and then go to the grocery store to purchase milk, steak, and Advil. Milk is a terrible source of calcium; the body has a hard time fully digesting and assimilating protein from cooked meat; and Advil is toxic. And chiropractic alone wil not offer anything more than temporary relief for arthritis.

When a body is calcium or protein deficient, it cannot properly regenerate joints, ligaments, bones, and other internal structure with the proteins and minerals needed for proper mobility.

Quick and Easy Natural Arthritis Remedy

This is a quick fix. It’s like a Band-Aid. It’s a natural remedy that works, but you need to change your diet and lifestyle to restore your health.

Mix one packet of Knox gelatin in ½ cup of cold water and drink once or twice a day depending on the severity of the symptoms.

Inflammation

There are three steps for most people to eliminate inflammation. Kill Candida and balance the gut flora (eliminate wheat and refined foods), eat an 80% raw food diet, and balance the body’s fats and minerals.

Dr. Budwig’s quark and flax recipe is the fastest way to infuse anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids into the body.

Calcium Deficiency

Nearly every calcium supplement on the market is terrible. Conventional calcium supplements are actually likely to cause kidney stones, arthritis and many other degenerative diseases.

An acidic diet is leads to calcium deficiency.

Vegetables are the best way to ingest, absorb, and most importantly, fully assimilate calcium. Beet greens, broccoli, bok choy, swiss chard, dandelion greens, kale, mustard spinach, sprouted soybeans, spinach, turnip greens, and collard greens are all very good sources of calcium. No supplement can replace the benefits of a diet full of these vegetables.

One other way to get some extra calcium into your diet is from raw egg shells, which contain not just calcium, but also other microelements, i.e. magnesium, boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, sulphur, silicon, zinc, and more.

Egg Shell Calcium

Place whole raw uncracked organic eggs in a glass jar or container. Add fresh squeezed organic lemon juice (concentrated will not work!) until eggs are completely covered. Cover the jar loosely and put into refrigerator. Agitate the liquid in the jar, gently, a few times a day. Two days later (48 hours) or when the bubbling has stopped, gently remove the eggs from the jar without breaking the egg membranes. The leftover lemony liquid is rich in all the aforementioned minerals and easily absorbable calcium. Store with airtight lid. Consume 2 to 4 ounces daily.

Protein Deficiency

Cooking meat binds the proteins making them hard to digest and assimilate. The more the meat is cooked, the more this is an issue. Some better sources of protein include raw eggs (dangerous if not organic), hemp powder, spirulina, and chlorella. Raw fresh vegetables have proteins as well. Remember, it’s not how much protein or calcium (or any other nutrient) that one eats; it’s how much of the nutrient is assimilated.

Dehydration

This is an easy one, but it’s not always as easy as “just drink water.” If the kidneys are not functioning properly due to an unhealthy diet, drinking more water is similar to dumping more water into a stopped-up toilet hoping to eliminate the clog.

Misalignment

If the neck is not in proper alignment, this can cause pain and limited mobility in the wrists, shoulders, and pretty much anywhere else. While chiropractic adjustments can help realign the neck, a healthy diet along with a low toxin lifestyle is essential to holding a chiropractic adjustment. An example of this is when the thyroid and adrenal glands become overtaxed by stimulants such as nicotine and caffeine, the neck will come out of alinement which aggravates arthritic conditions in the arm from the shoulder to the fingers.

Thyroid Problems

A thyroid that isn’t working right caused pinched nerves in the neck, tension headaches, and poor blood circulation through the whole body.

Conclusion

While proper diet and elimination of toxins can eliminate most any disease, some take longer than others. But arthritis is one of those ailments that is easy to completely eliminate in a matter of a few days to a couple of weeks for most cases. Arthritis in the elbows, wrists, knees, hips and shoulders are often caused by, and/or exacerbated by thyroid problems and a leaky gut.
