FREEDOM FROM ARTHRITIS
|
March 2008 marked the passing of a giant in the world of healing-Dr. George Goodheart. I could write an entire book on Dr. Goodheart, but suffice it to say that he changed the lives of tens of thousands of people. Another life–changer for me was Dr.. Philip Welsh. In 1976 this amazing “young" man in his eighties walked into my clinic and asked to speak with me about arthritis. Lots of people try to sell lots of stuff to doctors, but this man had such a demeanor, a twinkle ill his eye, and a lilt to his step that I had to speak with him. |

Dr Welch was selling his book Freedom from Arthritis through Nutrition, now out of print. (It is still available at Amazon.com) He was so excited about it that he was selling it to doctors door to door. Dr. Welsh believed that arthritis is basically a nutritional disease. And like Drs. George Goodheart, Alan Nitler and others, he proved it. His treatment, which cured arthritis, is basic in its simplicity but tough for some people. The degree of compliance with the program seems to depend on just how much a person hurts.
Welsh's Arthritis Treatment
Welsh's treatment to cure arthritis starts with an elimination (or mono) diet. First you stop eating all food but one seasonal organically grown food. It could be watermelon, zucchini, grapes or some other fruit or vegetable. It is perfectly safe to stay on the mono diet for ten days as your pain subsides or disappears. Then you reintroduce one healthy food at a time. Watching to see if it causes a return of pain in four days or less. If it does not you move on to add another food. At no time do you eat white flour, sugar or regular table salt. After four months on the elimination diet, you are essentially back to eating a variety of whole foods. At this time you begin taking supplements to rebuild the joints that have been ravaged by arthritis over the years. Dr. Welsh stipulates that store-bought or synthetic vitamins cannot be used. Only whole food supplements will do.
Most people are pain free in 30 days. And after approximately six to nine months, your arthritis is a memory. The whole program is so profound and so simple. And Dr. Welsh lived it. Both he and his wife were ravaged by arthritis but were completely cured with his nutritional treatment. And I have seen thousands more experience the same blessed relief. Dr. Welsh has long since passed on. But his treatment remains in the category of truth is truly timeless. The following are highlights from Dr. Welsh’s book that can end your arthritis pain too.

1) It is essential to strictly follow the protocol in the beginning. One single chemical or foreign substance or food can keep you locked in arthritic pain. 2) People with arthritis should eliminate white flour, white sugar, and table salt from their lives. Organic honey and real sea salt can be used sparingly as substitutes. 3) Canned vegetables, all store-bought oils (except for extra virgin, first-pressed olive oil, flax oil, or cod liver oil), and all store-bought cereals should be avoided. Fish can be eaten after the pain has subsided. |
4) It is impossible to cure arthritis without walking. Walking is a primary exercise that helps with constipation. Constipation produces a severe joint-irritating compound called guanidine. Exercise (including walking), a source of pure water without fluorine, sunshine, and the live-food diet are the basics of an anti-constipation, anti-guanidine, anti-arthritis program.
5) Once you have eliminated inflammatory toxins with the mono diet, your pain will start to disappear.
6) The next step to follow this with a nutrient dense, whole food diet, with at least one-third of it consisting of raw food, allows you to start moving about, walking, and exercising pain free.
7. Finally, the correct raw food supplements containing the missing osteofactors will strengthen your joints so that you can be stronger, more flexible, more active, more independent, and more secure–the very definition of independent living.
The Proof is in the Pudding
If we could grind up and eat raw bones and marrow with our teeth, we would not need raw food supplements to get minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, manganese, and the other trace elements, proteins, amino acids, enzymes, and vitamins that our joints need. If we could chew up raw cod fish livers, we would not need raw food supplements to get the omega~3 fatty acids and the pain-relieving antiinflammatory that our joints need. If we could consume a bushel of raw buckwheat, alfalfa, mushrooms, and carrots daily, along with pure water, we would not need raw-food supplements for all the vegetarian nutrients that our joints need. And if we could chew up raw adrenal glands as indigenous peoples did, with their rock-hard bones and teeth, we would not need raw-food supplements for the richest source of the real vitamin C complex that our joints need.
But since we cannot do these things, we do the next best thing. We eat all these things~in the form of phytonutrient supplements-which are organically grown, processed raw without heat or chemicals, and are rich in the live nutrients that keep our joints healthy and strong. These supplements are produced by Standard Process.

Going to the Dogs!
Does all this really help? Believe it or not, it has already been proven-with dogs. Remember Dr. Wallach, from Dead Doctors Don’t Lie, fame? He liked to say that "we treat them like dogs, but they do get better." He was referring to treating people with nutrition that was shown to help dogs. Amazingly, dogs are living proof that the raw food diet and supplement protocol works. Dr. Ian Billinghurst is a veterinarian from Australia who invented the bones and raw food (BARF) diet for dogs. Often when sickly, crippled with-arthritis dogs are placed on the BARF diet with raw supplements, they are transformed in a few months to near puppy strength and flexibility. I have personally witnessed this~crippled dogs that dragged their legs around, in constant pain simply started romping and running like pups after a few months on the protocol. What does this mean? Basically it means that dogs' arthritis, sickness, and suffering is caused by canned dog food! And remarkably, the exact same thing can be said about people and processed foods! |

More Evidence
I was invited to a barbecue in Pebble beach recently. The host provided the most wonderful foods and wines. Everyone was having a great time, eating the amazingly delicious food and drinking the wines~except for the woman sitting next to me. She was eating only the salad and vegetables, and drinking water. I couldn't help asking why she was skipping all the food and wine.
Her answer brought everything into focus. She told me that she ate only whole, organic foods, most of them raw, and that she took only whole food supplements~the same ones in this article. She began this protocol six months prior on the advice of` a nutritional expert. At that time she was so crippled and in so much pain from arthritis that she could not walk, could barely sleep and lived on barbiturates and painkillers that were slowly killing her. She was becoming an alcoholic, and her marriage only existed because her husband had decided to stick it out and become her caregiver.
That night she and her husband were very happy. They were smiling, talking, mingling with all their friends and even dancing. In six months this wonderful 65-year-old woman had been transformed from a woman crippled with arthritis to a vivacious dancer. The whole incident made me think about that wonderful man, Dr. Welsh.

Conclusion
So take it from the dogs and some of their smarter owners. Start feeding your joints what they need, and stop consuming all types of processed foods and man-made foods that aggravate your joints. After the initial six months you might be pleasantly surprised about some of the foods you can eat without a return of your pain. Be sure to use the right raw-rood supplements. As you probably know already almost all other products will fail. And remember Dr. Philip Welsh, Dr. George Goodheart, Dr. Alan Nittler, Dr. Ian Billinghurst, Dr. Bruce West, and others who all said, "You are what you eat." and "When looking for the cause of our disease we would all do well to look in the mirror..'
