how is Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated?
'Treatment options for osteoarthritis focus on pain relief and restoring function to the affected joint. Medications are commonly used to treat osteoarthritis. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, as well as steroid injections are used to treat pain and inflammation. Physical therapy that focuses on exercises to strengthen and stabilize the joint,support/bracing, heat, rest, and weight reduction are all important to a successful treatment regimen. Alternative treatments are used, such as massage therapy, acupuncture, and more.'
'The primary treatment for rheumatoid arthritis is medication. There are 5 categories of medication commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis:
Biologics (Enbrel, Remicade, Humira, Rituxan, Orencia)
DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs such as methotrexate)
Corticosteroids (such as prednisone, hydrocortisone)
NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Celebrex and naproxen)
Analgesics (painkillers)'
'Along with medication, some forms of alternative/complementary treatment or local steroid injections may help relieve pain for rheumatoid arthritis. For both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, the last-resort treatment option is surgery -- arthroscopy, arthrodesis (fusion), and arthroplasty (joint replacement). '

In western medicine, no cure exists for this condition. However, we know that if we give the body what it need, the body itself is the cure. No one product, treatment, remedy is the cure. The body is the only thing that can cure itself of anything. Very specific nutrients are able to help the body and some of those things are listed below:
Fresh vegetable juices (green leafy veggies). These juices provide tons of great nutrients to the body. If you don’t have a masticating juicer, invest in one today. I use mine every day.
Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which has been proven to have an anti-inflammatory action.
Cabbage juice.
Alfalfa is rich in chlorophyll and is a blood cleanser.
Boswelia. We use a powerful herbal formula containing Boswelia here in the clinic. We have a very powerful formula we use, which is organic, pure and concentrated. Boswelia is perhaps the best natural herbal remedy for treatment of arthritis.
Other things such as cayenne, comfrey, aloe vera, cod liver oil (omega 3), and minerals have a positive effect in providing the body with what it needs to heal as well.Cleansing the body of garbage, toxins and other harmful substances can help tremendously. Avoid foods and things known to perpetuate joint problems such as wheat, dairy, sugar, white rice, white pasta, coffee, pork, fried foods, salt, preservatives, additives, food colorings, margarine and soft drinks.
Eating a diet that contains 6-8 servings of raw, organic, fresh vegetables and fruits, in my opinion, is the foundation to healing and is critical for overall body health. Great homeopathic remedies for arthritis are Rhus Toxicodendron, Calcarea Carbonica, and Aconitum Napellus. Here in the clinic, we have protocols for chelation or pulling metals and chemicals from the body and through Nutrition Response Testing we can identify exact what nutrients your body needs and in what quantities so that your body can begin to heal quickly.
If you are outside of the Orlando area, I also do phone consultations and have had great success with people with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout and other joint inflammation and pain issues. The natural treatment or cure can be found in nature '

'"The good news," says Ava Cadell, PhD, "is that being intimate will take your mind off of everything else -- including your arthritis." Cadell is a clinical sexologist based in Los Angeles. "There is scientific evidence," she says, "that when you have an orgasm, you release morphine-like, feel-good chemicals that override the pain. Sex is the best prescription for good health."'

I began experiencing sharp pain and stiffness in my right hand. This pain always occurs in the morning and may not go away. I thought that I hurt my hand somehow but I could not remember what I did. I also began to experience extreme fatigue and malaise. About 4 months later, I went to the doctor and after many repeat blood tests to rule out Lyme disease and Lupus, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). I was adjusting to the medications Plaquenil and methotrexate, but they make me feel sick also. I had a ringing in my ears and loss of appetite. I sometimes had problems writing, dressing, or writing with my right hand.When the medication no longer helps, i was introduced to Health herbal clinic in Johannesburg who have successful herbal treatment to rheumatoid arthritis diseases. I spoke to few people who used the treatment here in United States and they all gave a positive response, so i immediately purchased the rheumatoid arthritis herbal remedy and commenced usage, i used the herbal supplement for only 5 weeks, all symptoms gradually faded away, herbs are truly gift from God. contact this herbal clinic via their email healthherbalclinic @ gmail. com or visit www. healthherbalclinic. weebly. com
