Hi....Just an update: I have just come back from Spain (well a few weeks ago), and it seemed like an opportune time, (with the cold weather taking a grip on the good old U.K.), to mention the fact that some Arthritis sufferers do suffer quite badly in the cold. This probably explains the fact why there are so many Northern Europeans flocking to the South coast of Spain, as we speak. Not only are they topping up their Vitamin D levels, but those with arthritis, and not using the Rheumatoid Arthritis Diet, are feeling much better down there in the warmth. I enjoyed my stay and played a few rounds of golf, but rather expensive. But best of all I am still doing this without the aid of any drugs of any description. I am able to lead my life to the full. Back in the U.K. golf has been a nono, the course has been too wet, and I am at the stage where I will not play in the rain. In my younger days, when I was keen, I used to go out in all weathers. At the moment I am playing squash, once a week with a young guy called Jose (He is Spanish and living in the U.K.). He must be mad! All that sunshine back home and he is here......but there is a reason. He is a student and the lucky blighter can go back to Spain anytime that he likes. However, last night he beat the pants off me! I just didn't turn up! ( A bit like the Welsh rugby side against Australia last weekend........another £130.00 down the pan! Thats' another story). Jose is about half my age, and normally we have very close games......he is just starting to get the edge, winning a few more just recently. But I view myself most fortunate that I am able to get on court with him, let alone compete! And all because ( the lady loves milk tray)......no all because of my arthtitis diet. I am lucky to have discovered the Arthritis cure using diet only! Have a good day!

How to control Arthritis without drugs (and lose weight at the same time!)
Hi, My name is Hugh, I live in Wales with my wife and family. Approx 20 years ago I seemed to develop arthritis. Slowly but surely, my joints were becoming swollen and very painful. The first joints affected were my wrists, followed by the fingers, then toes, ankles, and feet, and as time progressed the larger joints such as my knees and shoulders became extremely sore.Life changed dramatically…..from playing squash, cricket and golf, I developed a very sedentary lifestyle, sitting around watching t.v., now watching others play rather than being able to play myself. Very depressing!!
I found that it was a real effort to get to work, having to take painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs just to enable me to put any weight on my feet at all. Even after taking the painkillers walking was difficult. I hobbled around like an old man! (And just in my 30s!) The guys in work started calling me bones! All very good natured of course, but galling that I could do nothing about my condition. My hands and wrists….the fingers swelled up to twice the size, at least, and my wrists became fixed rather than flexible!
My body had let me down! I could no longer squeeze a tube of toothpaste without severe pain. I had great difficulty in doing up the buttons on my shirts etc. Even undoing the zip on my fly, to go to the toilet took real effort and sufferance of pain. Doing things that most of us take for granted, on a daily basis, now became very difficult and painful. Life was very frustrating! I could no longer pick up boxes of produce (apples, oranges, etc) which I did on a daily basis in work, my hands and wrists just would not allow it, even after taking the anti-inflammatory and pain killing drugs prescribed by the doctors.
At home, I became angry, frustrated, and I am sure quite nasty at times to my lovely wife. Putting a strain on our marriage, I am sure. I could not sleep properly at night, because as I moved around in my sleep the pain in my shoulders and knees kept waking me. (Seemingly every half hour or so.)I hated taking the drugs. Being a sportsman (although never very good at anything!) my body was always very important to me. I have never been overweight, I have never smoked or taken drugs…..my body is a temple!
I THEN TOOK ACTION!
One day whilst in the doctors surgery, I glanced around at some fellow sufferers......Thinking to myself; "Look at these guys, all bent up, in wheelchairs or cradling their walking sticks. This could be me in a few years time!"
I SOUGHT AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION!
A friend had told me some time ago of a diet that could help me (or any other arthritis sufferer), I had poo poohed the idea, but now decided that I had nothing to lose and all to gain.
I tried the diet, refined the diet......and could not believe the results. I now believe that I can help many other like sufferers, whether they have rheumatoid or osteo arthritis!
Nothing to lose! Then, slowly an incredible series of events unfolded! I remember standing in the shower a only week after starting the diet and thinking to myself, “This is working!” I had stopped taking the painkillers and was now totally out of pain. It really was a revelation, it is a feeling that I find difficult to describe. Except for the birth of our children I don’t think that I have ever felt so good! The relief was fantastic, the weight lifting from my shoulders, the knowledge that perhaps I could control this illness after all! It gave me a great spur to carry on, and not deviate from the diet. Slowly but surely the swelling reduced in all my joints. Almost a year to the day I was totally back to normal, all my joints were in full use, no pain whatsoever and I was back to playing sport. (squash and golf).
I then made a grave mistake!I thought that I was cured, and that I no longer needed the diet. Although I maintained part of the diet, I cheated big time! Within weeks, I could feel the onset of my symptoms…..I still did not heed the warnings, until I was back in agony!Some of the food that I was now eating was crippling me!I immediately reverted back to the diet. Again, the same thing happened, all the pain and swelling reduced over a long period of time. This time I managed to rid my body of all the swelling, except for one joint, the middle joint of my right hand thumb. This remained very swollen and stiff. (Although I had no pain) Whatever I did I could not get rid of this stiffness!I think that I then learned a lesson……that my body is intolerant to some foods, and reacts badly to them. It is of utmost importance that I stick to the diet at all times to avoid the onset of arthritis again. The important thing is.......that this diet does work for both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, BUT.....YOU HAVE TO BE SO STRICT WITH THE DIET!
It requires a strong will! You have to decide what you want in life? To be crippled with disease or to life a healthy active and painfree life?I now follow my diet at all times. At first it was a change in lifestyle, a change in the way we bought food, but these days after many years I respect the fact that I am pain free, and live a very active life. I decided very early on that I would rather stick to the diet than be a cripple!Over the years when I have travelled abroad and found it difficult to stick to the diet I have had a lot of adverse affects, that I have been able to rectify quickly by returning to the diet as soon as possible.It has happened too many times to be a coincidence! Diet definitely has an affect on the arthritis. For some reason, something changes in the body of an arthritis sufferer, and there are certain foods and sustances that our bodies will no longer tolerate.....it took me a long time to find out!There has been the odd occasion that I have come back from holiday in better fettle than when I went, this is because the foods and methods of cooking in these countries are similar to those of the diet.But again, it reinforces the point that diet has an effect, beneficial or otherwise, on the condition we all know as arthritis.
A quote from my diary of some years ago....."I was getting the washing off the line yesterday and was reminded of the days when I could not open the pegs, sometimes having to do it with my teeth, because my fingers were so swollen and painful.....a little job that most men probably do not do, but now, when asked, I am only too pleased to go and get the washing in, relishing in my re-born ability to use my fingers. Such a simple task, yet one that we all take for granted, as we take good health for granted! We sometimes do not realise how sick our bodies have become until you get better. (Just because we get used to the pain and discomfort). Also we went to a dinner dance last night, making me think of the days when I would sit out the dancing because of the pain in my feet. Now I am able to dance the night away, with my lovely wife. But I see many men standing or sitting aside watching the women dance together.......why, have they all got medical reasons? I think not, just cannot be bothered! But again, I just love the feeling of "good health", and no pain....I just hope that I can enjoy the dancing for years to come." The weight loss came as a result of sticking to the diet......"A double whammy you could say!"
I tried many years ago.....homeopothy, it did no good at all. Then another time I tried reflexology....foot massage. (This was all before the diet....I would try anything to improve the situation), again this failed to work.....I just kept trying, and eventually my efforts paid great dividends. If you would like to find out more, I have written an ebook, and it is available on line, with details of the diet. It is available for a very reasonable cost, hopefully not restrictive to any purse or wallet, but I do know that your life could change dramatically! (A percentage of all funds received will be donated to arthritis charities).
Here's looking forward to your good health!

Don't forget the old adage, "Your health is your WEALTH!"
Also, it is said that you cannot buy health. But maybe with this diet you can regain control of your health? It could be the best money that you will ever spend.
Here's looking forward to your good health!
