God's Remedies. --there are many ways of practicing the healing art, but
there is only one way that heaven approves. God's
remedies are the simple agencies of nature that will not tax or debilitate the
system through their powerful properties. Pure
air and water, cleanliness, a proper diet, purity of life, and a firm trust in
God are remedies for the want of which thousands are dying; yet these remedies
are going out of date because their skillful use requires work that the people
do not appreciate. Fresh air, exercise, pure
water, and clean, sweet premises are within the reach of all with but little
expense; but drugs are expensive, both in the outlay of means and in the effect
produced upon the system.--Testimonies,
vol. 5, p. 443 (1885). {2SM 287.3}
Use the Simplest Remedies.--Nature
will want some assistance to bring things to their proper condition, which may
be found in the simplest remedies, especially in the use of nature's own
furnished remedies--pure air, and with a precious knowledge of how to breathe;
pure water, with a knowledge of how to apply it; plenty of sunlight in every
room in the house if possible, and with an intelligent knowledge of what
advantages are to be gained by its use. All
these are powerful in their efficiency, and the patient who has obtained a
knowledge of how to eat and dress healthfully, may live for comfort, for peace,
for health; and will not be prevailed upon to put to his lips drugs, which, in
the place of helping nature, paralyzes her powers. If the sick and
suffering will do only as well as they know in regard to living out the
principles of health reform perseveringly, then they will in nine cases out of
ten recover from their ailments.-- Medical Ministry, pp. 223, 224

YOU CAN DO THE FOLLOWING FOR ARTHRITIS:
1. Increase your water intake to half your weight in ounces each day. According to the book YOUR BODY'S MANY CRIES FOR WATER, ONE OF THE MAIN CAUSES OF ARTHRITIS IS DEHYDRATION.
2. REMOVE ALL ANIMAL PRODUCTS FROM YOUR DIET. It has been proven that animal products can cause inflammation in the body, a weakening of the joints and a loss of calcium by having too much protein due to the animal product consumption. (1 Egg can cause inflammation in the body for up to 30 days in many people)
3. BE SURE TO EAT ENOUGH FOOD HIGH IN CALCIUM (Dark Leafy Greens, Nuts (closed fist full each day...they are to be raw and unsalted) and Seeds (2 T. each day)
4. BE SURE YOUR VITAMIN D LEVELS ARE WHERE THEY SHOULD BE (80-100 mg/ml)....if they are not, your calcium won't absorb properly, and you can therefore have arthritic problems....Get plenty of sunshine every day (about 1 hour every minimum day before 12:00 pm)...Not naked or all your skin exposed...be sure you are covered with proper clothing....all that really needs to be exposed to get the proper amount is your face and hands...Medical Science is now showing that if you want to avoid sun burning and skin cancer, wear more clothes (long sleeves, long pants, long skirts for ladies, etc.)
5. EAT A MINIMUM OF 3 FRUIT EVERY DAY, INCLUDING 1 CITRUS...Fruit are very high in vitamins and antioxidants and have been shown to lessen the symptoms of arthritis.
6. EAT AT LEAST 2-3 VEGETABLES A DAY (be sure 2 are green and 1 is orange)....DO NOT eat coarse vegetables raw. Cook those until tender....Include CILANTRO & PARSLEY in your diet...GREEN VEGGIES ARE VERY HIGH IN MAGNESIUM, and MANY, MANY TIMES, ARTHRITIS IS MANIFESTED AS A SYMPTOM OF VERY LOW LEVELS OF MAGNESIUM. Go to www.exatest.com if you would like your Magnesium levels properly checked (a blood test is an inaccurate test because only 1% of Magnesium is found in the blood...99% of the Magnesium is found in the tissues).
7. TAKE 2 TABLESPOONS OF BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES (by Plantation) EVERY DAY (if you are not diabetic)....THIS STUFF is extremely high in minerals.
8. WALK A MINIMUM OF 1 HOUR OF BRISK WALKING EACH DAY IF POSSIBLE {start out small, 5 minutes and add 1 minute extra each day until you reach 60 minutes (if you have to)}.....believe it or not, walking has a wonderful impact on the joints...it helps oxygenate the blood, bringing that blood flow to the painful areas.
9. STAY AWAY FROM ALL “NIGHTSHADES” FOOD (potatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes)....these have a tendency of worsening the condition.
10. STAY AWAY FROM ALL FOOD COLORING, MSG (look online for 30+ hidden names of MSG), ASPARTAME, ADDITIVES, PRESERVATIVES, SOY SAUCE, ETC. These harmful ingredients are know to worsen the problem as well.
11. SQUEEZE THE JUICE OF 2 LEMONS INTO 16 OZ. OF WATER EVERY MORNING UPON ARISING. This helps with any pain, inflammation, etc. Lemon Juice helps the body to become Alkaline and not Acidic.
12. EAT MORE ALKALINE FOODS AND LESS ACIDIC FOODS. Be sure that your plate has more alkaline that acidic. Here is a chart where you can see which is which. http://www.realfoods.net/acid.html
Keep in mind that you do need some healthy acidic foods in the diet, but not the majority of your diet for the day.
