Synopsis:
The withdrawal of drugs like Vioxx and Bextra from the market have
left arthritis sufferers in pain and searching for options. Recent findings
indicate that NSAIDs (Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs) can be more toxic
than previously believed. Now more than ever, there is a need for alternative
treatments that have a high probability of recovery without harmful side
effects.
The premise of this book is that infection by
pathogenic microbes has been shown to be a significant co-factor in many autoimmune
disorders besides Rheumatoid Arthritis. These conditions include Multiple
Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Scleroderma, Lupus, CFIDS, Gulf War Illness,
tendonitis (i.e., Carpal Tunnel Syndrome), as well as painful sports injuries
that fail to heal. Hallmarks of a microbial infection include joint pain,
inflammation, bursitis, and chronic fatigue.
This book describes a scientifically proven medical
treatment, along with nutrition and diet methods to strengthen the immune
system, that offers a viable alternative to the toxic drugs that are now being
discredited. Unlike standard medical treatments for RA, this protocol addresses
the cause(s), not just relief of symptoms.
