Re: Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis

[Guest guest]

Ayesha,

I believe this case is a great example of what we can do to help patients in great distress.

The first 1-2 years of any health regime is to help the patient establish a lifestyle routine that is conducive to healing. The patient seems to have done that very well.

You are now at a point that the vital force needs additioal support. I suspect the acupuncture started to stir up the qi (vital force) and resulted in increased swelling. Swelling is a sign that the body is reacting. This may not necessarily be bad.

I believe the work for the next 3 years involves the unravelling of WHY she developed an auto-immune disease so young.

You have not described her family history, her health for the first 15 years. I assume her appetite, sleep, energy, mood, sense of well being are all fine.

The work now involves her terrain. The lifestyle part is taken care of. I would suggest your focus turns her miasm, her temperament and constitution. If you do not feel comfortably trained in these areas, I would suggest you refer her to someome who is.

Your job will be to keep monitoring her lifestyle components while other energetic therapies address her genetics (miasm), her day to day activiites that affect her temperament and then finally her consitutuion (one of 7 remedies according to DeSchepper).

She is doing all the right stuff on a macroscopic level.

The subtle energy is what is needed next in my opinion.

I am hoping to get some advice on a case I have been working with for over two years. The woman is 39 years old and is a therapist.

 

Below is a description of her history and what my protocol has been.  I have reached a place where we are stuck and unable to decrease her inflammation further.

 

She was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis at age 15. The diagnosis was unclear as she had some symptoms more similar to Still's disease. (Intermittent fevers, symptoms relieved by antibiotics but then came back worse).

 

The symptoms of severe inflammation and stiffness in all of her joints came on fast (over a three day period) when she was water-skiing with her family at age fifteen. The doctors first tried her on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory meds, which did not affect her symptoms.

 

They then put her on Depenacillamine and prednisone. After one year on prednisone her bones where discovered (after extreme back pain and loss of height) to be severely de-mineralized (70% of normal).  She was taken off of prednisone at that time and given gold shots  At about age 22, the gold shots caused kidney problems (nephrotic syndrome) so she was taken off of that treatment. 

 

From about age 24-26, she tried many natural methods to help herself including acupuncture, fasting, alkaline diets, and various nutritional supplements. For reasons unknown she went into remission from about age 28 to age 32. When she was thirty two, the symptoms came back with a vengeance.  Over the past five years, she has tried many, many things.  She does not take any allopathic medications.  What helps her most is exercising, sweating, not eating, yoga or getting a fever.

 

I have been working with her for two years now.  When she first came to see me her knees and knuckles on the fingers were extremely swollen, she was in extreme pain, and having a hard time walking. 

 

I put her on a very strict anti inflammatory diet with absolutely no grains or dairy products.  She has been drinking two glasses of vegetable juice a day, eating mostly vegetables with small amounts of salmon or chicken, some organic grass fed beef and blended vegetable soups with added coconut oil.  She also eats some nuts and seeds or grinds them up and puts them on her vegetables or uses nut butters with her vegetables.  When her symptoms flare up, I usually put her on a two or three day juice fast to bring them back down.  This usually works, but she cannot do it for longer periods, as she loses too much weight.

 

For the first three months of our work together her protocol was as follows:

 

• Unda #’s 2- 20 – 258  for kidney drainage

• Permeability Factors for leaky gut

• Proteolytic Enzymes between meals before bed and upon arising for inflammation

• Plant enzymes with each meal for improved digestion

• Green food supplement

• Omega Oils to put in her vegetable juice

• Marine lipids concentrate for inflammation

• HMF Forte

• castor oil packs to her swollen knees quite often.

 For the second three months same as above except change to liver drainage using:

Unda #’s 1 – 20 – 243

 

During the second half of the year we used Unda numbers: 2 – 11-  28 – 600 for muscular skeletal and arthritis.   At this time she started using Ultra Inflammex powder from Metagenics for extra protein and inflammation.

 

Her symptoms vastly diminished and she had no swelling of any kind for about 4-5 months.

This February she started to see an acupuncturist and she also started getting massage treatments.  Within 3 weeks her left knee became very swollen, as well as her joints in the fingers.  Since then, only fasting will take the symptoms down, but not all the way.  I returned her to the Unda kidney drainage program that I used with her in the beginning, but the swelling and pain remains the same.

 

For 2 months my client was using Unda #’s 3 – 48 – 50 - for intestinal problems, internal toxic waste, and cellular waste.  This was used when her fingers started to swell after her acupuncture and massage treatments.  This did not seem to make a difference in her condition.

Does any one here have any advice or recommendations, as to where I can go from here?  I cannot apply the fasting at this time as she has already lost too much weight.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

All the best,
