    I've heard of several people curing arthritis by alternating 1 week juice fasting with 1 week raw vegan diet, for a really long time, more than a year.

    I was chronic from 17 years old until 24... when I turned 24.. I went raw
    It comes and goes during winter months when its colder my hands stiffen.. I used to drop mugs out of my hands... but goodness I do not have to crack my fingers anymore to make the pain go away.. I used to beg my spouse to heave on my wrists to reduce the pressure. I introduced nuts and flax seeds... flax seeds seem to the wonder miracle for me!

    I'm just sure a RAW vegan diet helps. Also, a good supplement is glucasamine. Many of my biking friends, most of them over 50, and I are helped with joint pain by it. It's a substance prduced by the body, but we run out of it as we age. My chiropractor put me onto it. Do some research and be sure to search out a good, clean source. swear by the stuff! ;)

    Excellent. Thank you people. I've been reading and apparently apple cider vinegar is a god for relieving the joint pains? Has anybody tried this?

    There was also something about oil pulling? Guess I'll have to give these a crack.

    I stay away from nightshade plants like potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant(aubergine), peppers. This helps me alot

    Some people think that arthritis is a toxicity in the body so theoretically being 100% raw should relieve it over time.

    Choose foods that reduce inflammation and it should help you out a lot also. Good luck friend.

    While 100% raw and with a light workout routine my joint pains were nearly all gone. When I eat something cooked they come back with a vengeance.

    Default Arthritis in back

    Hi all,
    this summer I started have extreme back pain. Also cramping down my legs. After MRI I have a fractured lumbar vertebrae. I am bummed to say the least. I went raw about 10 months ago. (Not 100% as I do struggle.) My doc wants to try corticosteroid shots in the spin to help with leg cramps, anyone know about side effects? Has anyone had any luck with acupuncture? In pain and desperate
    Michele

    This is a video about calcium deposits and inflammation. You might want to listen to the other parts. Basically he's talking about something called nano bacteria that calcifies like a coral reef causing inflammation and arthritis among other things. This one tells you what foods you can eat to dissolve them. I believe garlic and msm are a couple.

    Thank you solarliving! This has answered part of my question as to why coral calcium is off the market. It was sold to me a few years ago for my osteoporosis and then I saw that it is no longer being sold and I was wondering why. So how much of that coral calcium is in my body and possibly heart? The allopaths are warning me that I am ripe for a heart attack! And now David Wolfe too! Alot to learn! I could not hear everything that he said. Wish I could read a transcript. He mentioned some kind of equipment to google but couldn't catch the name.

    I am going to send that to a friend who has rheumatoid arthritis.
