One of the most important things to help arthritis is good elimination. The body is so choked up with inflammatory toxics it needs to clear itself. A lot of the toxics in joints remains there because the body can't shift them.

One of the worst setbacks you can have is constipation. The poisons that you are trying to eliminate would go round and round your poor sick body. Definitely not recommended! They would attach themselves wherever they could get a hold, mainly to joints. It doesn't bear thinking about.

Constipation is caused by poor diet, not enough roughage or vegetable and fish oil in the system. That is why the Mediterranean diet is so good. You get plenty of roughage, pasta, bread (preferably rye) and plenty of fish and olive oil on salads and to cook with. And any protein you get is usually fresh with feta cheese, fish and chicken.

You must get you diet right before you can do anything with the joints.

And with all that toxic inflammation and heat you need to cool down the joints and lubricate the system with water. Clear, fresh pure water – not treated with additives or flavourings. Drink five litres a day – eight glasses. Keep a glass or bottle of water by you at all times and keep sipping. Sip yourself to good health! You can count fresh fruit juice and vegetable juice among the eight glasses.

These drinks will help to make the kidneys healthy. Then these can purify the blood and this will help the heart, which in turn will help your joints.

The kidneys are one of the most important organs in the body for clearing inflammation from joints. Yet the poor old things get starved of fluids and struggle to clean up the blood. If the kidney energy is low you get constipation, lack of energy, headaches, swollen joints and ankles, excessive period pains, ear problems, tiredness and chest trouble.

The kidneys clear surplus fluids from the lungs among other places, so they can't function without good kidneys. And the kidneys and heart work closely in harmony in balancing the body, and helping the brain, hormonal system and immune system to work properly.

So its no good thinking of any problem or disease in isolation, perhaps thinking it's incurable if you haven't given your body a chance to clear it up first. All parts make the whole. Work to make the body as healthy as it can be. Take a lesson from our splendid Olympic athletes this year and work on your inner strength and energy.

At the same time help the joints and inflammation with natural products and then have a new look at your problem when you have made yourself healthy. There's a lot that can be done with a healthy body, including massage of muscles and joints, mobilization, acupuncture, breathing and exercises.
