THE ROLE OF NUTRITION IN ARTHRITIS TREATMENT: NOTE FOR PERSONS WITH ARTHRITIS

Posted by admin

The program of vital nutrition outlined above has the greatest potential for optimum health and prevention of disease. It is important to realize, however, that a diet which is perfect for the building of health and prevention of disease is not necessarily the best possible diet for a sick person. Particularly in the case of arthritis, certain specific changes in this general nutritional plan must be made. During the first stages of a therapeutic biological program, for example, all bread and milk should be excluded, with the exception of soured milk and yogurt, sprouted grains, and raw wheat germ. The only form of cheese permitted is homemade cottage cheese. When the patient is well on his way to recovery, whole grain bread and milk and milk products can be gradually added to the diet again. However, a person recovering or recovered from arthritis should always be careful with acid-forming foods: bread, cereals, animal proteins, cheese, etc. It is imperative to continue with the program of vital nutrition long after recovery if lasting results are to be expected. The biological program of treatments establishes favorable conditions in your body for the rebuilding and healing processes to take place. These favorable conditions must be maintained indefinitely in order to assure the continuance of good health and prevent the recurrence of disease.

ARTHRITIS BEATEN TODAY: CMO AND OTHER AILMENTS-TMJ (TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT (OR JAW) DISORDER)

Posted by admin

That name’s such a mouthful that many people with temporal mandibular jaw disorder can’t even say it without their jaws locking up. No it’s not the tetanus infection called lockjaw. TMJ is a problem usually caused by jaw malformation, fracture, dislocation, or arthritis. It can even come just from biting down too hard on something.

It can vary from an occasionally bothersome jolt of pain when chewing or talking to a constant terrible pain that even inhibits normal speech. Minor cases can disappear in a few hours or a few days. Chronic TMJ can cause constant and dreadful pain that can last a lifetime.

To resolve the problem, doctors like to prescribe pain medications. Surgeons like to recommend surgery. Neurosurgeons will suggest neurosurgery. Chiropractors propose manipulative therapy. Dentists want to x-ray it. Acupuncturists want to jab you with needles. Any or all of these procedures may prove helpful. We have nothing against them.

But can you guess what usually works best for chronic TMJ? CMO, of course.

One female patient suffered from recurring TMJ pains as a result of her misaligned jaw. She had already run the gamut before finding CMO. Her chiropractor had manipulated her jaw and made it worse. A neurosurgeon had offered her pain medications. She saw a slew of dentists claiming to be TMJ specialists. One x-rayed her jaw, injected it with something, and constructed a splint for her to wear 24 hours a day. She tried acupuncture but that didn’t help either.

The misalignment remained and the pains kept coming back. Then a bit of dental work on one tooth worsened the situation. She began taking a lot of Advil and a number of prescription codeine tablets daily just to maintain.

Two days after starting CMO she reported that her pains were subsiding. She now enjoys an improvement of better than 80% overall, more than enough to feel quite comfortable again.

Hers was a quick response to a very severe case. Most TMJ cases respond just as quickly. Dozens have reported 100% recoveries from the problem.
