Nature Alone?

[Guest guest]

A good diet will improve a person's overall physical condition and may help

to ease some of the symptoms of the disease and the side effects of the

medication. Losing weight will reduce stress on joints weakened and damaged by

the disease. Therefore, everyone with PA would be well-advised to follow a

course of sound nutrition. HOWEVER, no food or dietary supplement has been

shown to cure PA. You would not rely on sprouts to cure a brain tumor. You

would not eat fish to cure heart disease. You would not expect green leafy

vegetables to treat your broken leg. It is similarly unwise to rely on

nutrition

alone to treat PA when nutrition alone has not been shown - ever - as a way to

cure PA or to slow the progression of the disease. Being in the best

physical condition you can possibly be in will absolutely be of tremendous help

in

treating any disease - but by itself - it will not cure a disease. For all

those who are considering dismissing medications as unnecessary, please think

once, twice, a thousand times of the risks you are exposing yourself to by

not taking medication to treat your disease. Kathy F.
