Shana,

Don't accept arthritis as a lifelong illness . . .

There are a lot of things you can do, but it takes

time and discipline! . . . Diet is very important. See

the book " The Maker's Diet " . . . moderate exercise,

getting sufficient sleep, managing stress and anger,

keeping a good attitude. You can use hot baths -

including Epsom salts and clay baths. Liver flushes

(I'm doing one today), etc.

The body has incredible healing abilitiy, but it's

done one cell at a time. You have to provide the right

environment for it to heal.

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

Hi Shana,

It takes months and sometimes even years to detox effectively. Don’t be discouraged.

Kenda

Well, I guess I'm a little discouraged because I still have mostly

the same joint pains (byw, I was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid

arthritis without a doubt) I don't really know what I was expecting,

but I just can't bear the thought of living the rest of my life with

this horrible disease. My happiness with my surgery has made it all

worth it though, even if I don't recover from the arthritis. I can't

believe that people would ever reimplant...I am just so happy to have

those things out!! I am starting to detox, but I can't get to a

sauna. So I guess I'll just have to wait and see how it goes. Hugs,

Shana
