Rheumatism

Rheumatism or rheumatic disorder is a non-specific term for medical problems affecting the joints and connective tissue.The study of, and therapeutic interventions in, such disorders is called rheumatology.

Terminology

The term "rheumatism" is still used in colloquial speech and historical contexts, but is no longer frequently used in medical or technical literature; there is no longer any recognized disorder simply called "rheumatism." Some countries use the word Rheumatism to describe fibromyalgia syndrome. The traditional term covers such a range of different problems that to ascribe symptoms to "rheumatism" is not to say very much. Nevertheless, sources dealing with rheumatism tend to focus on arthritis. However, "non-articular rheumatism", also known as "regional pain syndrome" or "soft tissue rheumatism" can cause significant discomfort and difficulty. Furthermore, arthritis and rheumatism between them cover at least 200 different conditions.
The term "Rheumatic Diseases" is used in MeSH to refer to connective tissue disorders.
Palindromic rheumatism has been theorized to be a form of rheumatoid arthritis.

Treatment

A vast number of traditional herbal remedies were recommended for "rheumatism". Modern medicine, both conventional and complementary, recognises that the different rheumatic disorders have different causes (and several of them have multiple causes) and require different kinds of treatment.
Nevertheless, initial therapy of the major rheumatological diseases is with analgesics, such as paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), members of which are ibuprofen and diclofenac. Often, stronger analgesics are required.

"Rheumatism" and weather

There has long been said to be a link between "rheumatic" pain and the weather. There appears to be no firm evidence in favour or against; a 1995 questionnaire given to 557 people by A. Naser and others at the Brigham and Women's Hospital's Pain Management Center concludes that "changes in barometric pressure are the main link between weather and pain. Low pressure is generally associated with cold, wet weather and an increase in pain. Clear, dry conditions signal high pressure and a decrease in pain".

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Prognosis and Treatment in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common autoimmune systemic connective tissue disorder. It's characterized by a symmetrical form of polyarthritis, which means that it affects multiple joints on both sides of the body, for instance the joints of both hands or both feet. RA causes synovitis, a condition of chronic inflammation in the synovial membrane (interior of the joint capsule), with inflammation in the joint space, which may lead to destruction of cartilage.

Eventually, without treatment intervention, the joint space in rheumatoid arthritis may become obliterated and the bone ends united (causing a condition of ankylosis). In advanced arthritis, virtually all of the affected articular cartilage is replaced by a rheumatoid inflammatory membrane. One remnant of eroded cartilage may remain attached to bone with fragments of cartilage embedded in the inflammatory membrane.
Who is Affected

About 1 percent of the population is reported to have rheumatoid arthritis. Women are affected about three times as often as men, with symptoms most often emerging during the fourth to fifth decade of life.
Signs and Symptoms in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by an autoimmune-induced inflammatory reaction to the peripheral synovial joints of the fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, jaws, knees, ankles, hips, and feet. Signs and symptoms include subcutaneous (beneath the skin) rheumatoid nodules, morning stiffness, joint pain and swelling, along with constitutional symptoms of malaise and fever.Systemic effects of RA include cardiac (heart) involvement including pericarditis (inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart), myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), and rheumatic nodules in myocardial tissue; cutaneous vasculitis, neurological disease (mononeuritis multiplex, a condition of neuropathy affecting multiple systems such as the nerves of the hands and feet), and diffuse lung problems such as pleural effusion and pulmonary vasculitis. About 30 percent of patients develop associated heart problems.
Otolaryngeal Problems

Ear, nose, and throat problems can also occur. Involved joint spaces include the joints of the adenoids, ears, temporomandibular joint space, and the cervical spine joint. Rheumatoid involvement of the larynx is the most common occurrence and may occur as arthritis of the cricoarytenoid joint, inflammation of the larynx, atrophy of the laryngeal nerves, and rheumatic nodules of the vocal cords.
Temporomandibular (TMJ) joint dysfunction may be particularly severe and cause an open bite deformity as well as hearing loss either conducive or secondary to joint inflammation of the ossicular joint or as a sensorineural complication of a related autoimmune inner ear disturbance.
Diagnosis of RA

Rheumatoid arthritis is diagnosed by a combination of blood and imaging tests that evaluate joint inflammation. Rheumatoid factor (RF) autoantibodies that target and destroy immunoglobulin G are seen in acute RA. Tests for cyclic citrillinated peptide (CCP) antibodies are better diagnostic indicators of RA because they are seen in RA but not in other connective tissue disorders. In the active phase of RA, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are typically elevated to levels greater than 4 mg/dl. During an acute inflammatory attack of RA, CRP levels rise 100 to 1000 fold. Levels of CRP fall to normal during periods of remission. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate) is moderately elevated in RA. Measurements of these inflammatory markers can be used to evaluate treatment response and diagnose relapses.
Elevated levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 (IL-1), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) are found in the blood and joint fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. These cytokines function as pyrogens, contributing to fever and inflammation. Current therapies are designed to inhibit production of these cytokines.
Treatment of RA

The prognosis for patients with RA has improved considerably in recent years. Treatment today is designed to relieve symptoms and induce longer periods of remission. A number of different over-the-counter and prescription medications are available to reduce inflammation and pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. However, because many of these remedies have undesirable side effects, newer medications that reduce joint inflammation naturally, including the supplement Same have been developed. Herbal remedies that effectively reduce joint inflammation include Boswellia, Ginger, Turmeric, and Devil’s claw.
A diet designed to reduce inflammation is also recommended, and light exercise is recommended to maintain joint mobility.
RA in Pregnancy

Relatively large numbers of women with rheumatoid arthritis are reported to have good pregnancy outcomes although carefully monitoring during pregnancy is recommended to minimize adverse consequences. Studies show that among rheumatoid arthritis patients, the rates of hypertensive complications, premature rupture of membranes, and intrauterine growth retardation were slightly but significantly higher than for control patients.

Bowel Cleanse


Description

The Peristaltic Muscle


A healthy colon is essential for total health. And yet it's one of the organs most overlooked by allopathic medicine. When was the last time your doctor asked you about your bowel movements? Probably never, unless you've gone to him specifically for constipation or diarrhea. Yet when you ask any naturopathic doctor, that's the FIRST thing he'll ask. The colon is the last stage of digestion before waste is eliminated. Its primary function is to absorb water and remaining nutrients. The main muscle that drives the colon is the peristaltic muscle. It works by pushing waste along in a squeezing motion. Bowel Cleanse is specially formulated to feed the peristaltic muscle.
Fecal Buildup

Over time, fecal matter builds up in the colon. Poor diets (consisting primarily of red meat, dairy, and refined carbohydrates) cause the body to create mucus. Do you ever notice the phlegm in your throat after a bowl of ice cream? This is happening all throughout your body. The body does the best it can to eliminate the waste, but this mucus ultimately ends up in the colon and sticks. It is estimated that the average adult has between 5 and 10 pounds of dried fecal matter stuck inside their colons. Autopsies have revealed colons that weigh as much as 40 pounds! This waste impairs the peristaltic muscle by lining the walls of the colon. Waste is not removed, and nutrition is not absorbed.
NOT a Laxative

Bowel Cleanse is not a laxative. It is an herbal nutritional supplement that specifically feeds the peristaltic muscle. The intent of a laxative is to achieve a bowel movement by whatever means possible. This is usually accomplished by softening and loosening the stool so that a poorly performing peristaltic muscle can push out the waste. While this temporary fix might make you feel better, it's not addressing the real core problem: a weak peristaltic muscle. Fiber laxatives can be helpful also, but you get the most benefit out of them with a strong peristaltic muscle. Bowel Cleanse is designed to cleanse, stimulate, and repair the peristaltic muscle so that it can funtion on its own, without the aid of laxatives.
Weight Loss

The first obvious benefit to cleansing your colon is weight loss. As the peristaltic muscle starts working more effectively, the body gets rid of that extra 5-10 pounds that is just sitting there. This weight most often manifests itself as a "pooch" in women, and as a gut in men (this is where your colon is located). Most people report a flatter stomach after using Bowel Cleanse. Our users report an average weight loss of 5 pounds in 1 week.
Energy and Vitality

Another benefit is energy! Most people notice within a few days that their bowel movements are much bigger, and better quality. Their bowels feel "empty" and they feel lighter, and less tired. When your colon is clean, your body can absorb more nutrition, you can actually eat less and feel more satisfied. Many times people overeat because the body is screaming for nutrition, which can't be absorbed. As the "trash gets taken out" the rest of the body is detoxified.

Rheumatism

Definition:

Afflictions of muscle tendon, joint, bone or nerve, resulting in discomfort and disability from stiffness of the joints or muscles, pain on motion, etc. In this category are often included rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative joint diseases, spondylitis, bursitis, fibrositis, myositis, neuritis, lumbago, sciatica, and gout.
Causes:

Poor elimination causes rheumatism due to toxic matter becoming stagnated in various parts of the body. Thomas Deschauer explains it thus: "Urea should be daily expelled from our body, an ounce every day. Urea, as you might know, is completely changed waste matter, and as such easily expelled. Now if the process of turning the dead tissues into urea is incomplete--it forms uric acid. Certain foods and drinks cause the urea to be left unfinished. or if the urea is hindered or stopped to be expelled, it also returns into the system and forms uric acid. This can be done by stopping perspiration, by cooling off quickly, by neglect of proper bathing, changing of underclothing, inhaling urea at night while sleeping in ill-ventilated room, etc. Avoid all these things if you want to get well. Some persons have what is known as the uric acid habit, that is, the waste matter does not break down completely. This tendency is due to an extremely abnormal and diseased condition of the blood."

JointEase Plus contains:

Harpagophytum Procumbens (Devil's Claw)

Glucosamine sulphate: One of the best bio-available forms of glucosamine supplements and it has been shown that 90 - 98% is readily absorbed in the intestines. Glucosamine has been approved for the treatment of arthritis and other joint and muscular conditions in more than 70 countries throughout the world. Studies have demonstrated its ability to decrease pain and inflammation, increase range of motion and to help repair aging and damaged joints in the hands, knees, hips and spine.

Boswellia serata:

Extracts of the gum of this tree found in India have been used for thousands of years to relieve pain and inflammation. Scientific studies have demonstrated that boswellia has the ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory mediators in the body and to reduce pain and inflammation without irritating or ulcerating the stomach lining. Boswellia has also been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

Natural Treatment of inflammatory joint and muscle conditions

Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Devil's Claw in treating joint conditions like osteo-arthritis, fibrositis, rheumatism and small joint disease, (Lecompte & Costa, 1992). It has also been scientifically proven to assist in the treatment of lower backache (Chrubasik, 1996). In a study by Brady et al, (1981), serum cholestol and uric acid levels were shown to be reduced after treatment with Devil's Claw.
Scientific studies have also indicated that it is effective in stimulating the lymphatic system to increase resistance against disease.
Glucosamine is naturally manufactured in the body and scientists known that this simple substance is found in relatively high concentrations in the joints and connective tissues, where its function is to repair cartilage and maintain joint mobility.
Boswellia has been used for thousands of years as a natural anti-inflammatory. Modern science has verified that boswellic acids contained within the herb can block the formation of leukotrienes, the immune cells responsible for inflammation, while also promoting the formation of free radicals. With regular use, blood supply to the joints is also maintained, keeping soft tissue nourished and viable.

Rheumatism Treatment

There are a lot of problems that can be hard to deal with. One such problem is rheumatism. This is a word that comes from the Greek word 'rheuma', which means swelling. As you can guess by now, rheumatism is a swelling of the muscles, joints, tendons, or ligaments in your body. This is something that can be very painful, and that is why people are always looking for rheumatism cures. The good news is that there are rheumatism and arthritis treatment options, as well as rheumatism home remedies that you can try.

Prevalence

Rheumatism is a problem that affects more people than what you would think. Just like other joint pain, this is something that affects people more as they get older. Men and women get this illness about the same, and all the races have an equal chance of getting it. No matter what you choose to do, rheumatism is something that you have to get taken care of. This is not something that you can just keep living with, because it causes a lot of problems.

Symptoms

Rheumatism is pretty easy to spot because of the pain that it causes. For example, you are likely to have soreness and pain in your joints. This can even be soreness in your muscles as well. Of course, you should note that it is different from just a sore muscle. When you have rheumatism, then just the weight of clothing can cause a lot of pain on your muscles.

Diagnosis

The main cause of rheumatism is toxic waste in your blood. Thus, if you think that you have rheumatism, your doctor may want to do some blood work on you. Eating too much bread, sugar, and meat can cause too many toxic waste products in your blood stream. Of course, you should note that this is not always a problem. If you think that you have rheumatism, then you should go visit your doctor right away. This way he can work with you on treating your rheumatism.

Treatment

Some of the best rheumatism cures involve using water enema. This is where they take warm water and shoot it into your bowels. This is a great way to clean out all of the toxic stuff that has built up in your body. After that, you may want to try to get some hot packs to place them on the affected areas. This can help to bring down the pain. Of course, just sitting in a warm bath helps a lot. If you are going to use a warm bath as a rheumatism treatment, then you might as well put epsom salts in the bath as well. You should try to sit in a bath of epsom salts about twice a week for three months. It will also help you if you can get some fresh air and do some very light outdoor exercises. Try to go for walks and things like that. This can help to loosen up your joints and so on. Most people think that you should put cold on swollen joints. In the case of rheumatism, you need to avoid damp and cold compresses at all costs.

Home Remedies

If you are still having problems with your rheumatism, then you should note that there are a few rheumatism home remedies out there that can help you. One good thing that you should try is to drink potato juice. Take about two teaspoons of potato juice before each meal. You can get juice from a potato by smashing it raw. Also, do not throw the skin of the potato away either. Eating the skin is a great way to help cure your rheumatism. This is because it is very rich in minerals and salt. If you have any bitter gourd, then you should use that too. Try to extract juice from the vegetable and drink it. You should drink it mixed with just a teaspoon of honey for taste. People have even found that celery is a good cure for rheumatism. Simply drink the fluid that gets extracted out from the raw vegetable. This is also a great way to clean out your stomach and your kidneys. Also, if you can stand the taste, you should drink the juice from two to three lemons a day. This will always bring good results, as far as taking care of rheumatism. Other home remedies for rheumatism involve using walnuts. All you have to do is eat about half a dozen of them a day to help treat rheumatism.

Conclusion

As you can clearly see, rheumatism is something that can be taken care of from home. You just have to know what to eat to get your rheumatism to go away quicker. Try to follow the rheumatism home remedies that we talked about. This can help you get rid of it. Of course, if you do not have rheumatism, then following these tips can help you from getting it in the first place.

Natural Treatment of Erysipelas

It is a disease characterized by a diffused inflammation of the skin. The subcutaneous cellular tissues may also become involved and there may be high fever. In a mild form there is only a redness of the skin which feels thickened on which small vesicles may appear.

Erysipelas of the face begins' with symptoms of general discomfort. The patient feels languid, drowsy and there is a feeling of chilliness which later develops into fever which may go upto 105°F. Inflammation may start with the tip of the nose; if it is not controlled in time, it may spread to the glottis leading to fatal results. If it attacks the membranes of the brain, the result is almost always fatal.

When the disease is in a severe form, vesicles appear on the reddened, inflamed skin and if care is not taken, they may burst and turn into sores. Among infants the causative factor is a sore in the navel and the infection is likely to spread to the mother.

Natural Home Remedies for Erysipelas:



The sufferer should be segregated to stop the infection from spreading to others. Twenty grams of extract of Rasaut should be steeped in one litre of water overnight and the supernatant water given to the child to drink every time he feels thirsty. In the case of a suckling infant, the mother should also drink the same water. For local application on the vesicles, a paste of Rasaut and white Sandalwood ground in juice of green Coriander is recommended. If green Coriander is not available water may be used in its place. The leaves of the Cypress tree (Saroo) should be ground in water to form paste to help relieve the condition.

The dietary regimen is the same as in the case of other fevers. The child must be protected against exposure; no cold bath should be given to him. Till the vesicles disappear, no bath should be given to the child: sponging his body should suffice.

Remedy for Palindromic Rheumatism

Pallindromic rheumatism is an inflammatory arthritis that is characterized by rapid and severe attacks of pain and swelling of joints and surrounding tissues. These attacks are sudden and last for hours or even days before they subside spontaneously. The episodes of attacks increase with time though there is no damage done to the joints by this condition. Pallindromic rheumatism mostly affects knees, fingers and large joints. Men and women are both at risk of suffering from pallindromic rheumatism. In some cases, pallindromic rheumatism leads to rheumatoid arthritis. The problem with pallindromic rheumatism is that it cannot be diagnosed by a single test since its symptoms are similar to many other kinds of arthritis. So the diagnosis and treatment can take time. Also, because of the unpredictable nature of the attacks, treatment becomes difficult. There is no specific cause of pallindromic rheumatism. In most cases, the doctor first needs to cure other types of arthritis before treating pallindromic rheumatism.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a specific cure for palindromic rheumatism. But there are some home remedies that bring relief from rheumatism. Taking about two teaspoons of raw potato juice before meals is one of the most effective ways of treating rheumatism. You can also mix two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and honey along with warm water and take it daily. Bitter gourd juice is also a good medicine for dealing with rheumatism. For the first three months of the onset of rheumatism, have plain bitter gourd everyday. Then you can mix honey in it and take it as a daily tonic. Aromatherapy is also effective in alleviating the pain and reducing inflammation. Mix a few drops of rosemary oil in a bathtub and soak in it for about 20 minutes. Another effective tonic is mixing fresh carrot juice and lemon juice in equal quantity and taking a tablespoon of it everyday. Massaging your joints with almond oil strengthens bones and also brings relief from pain.
One can prevent any kind of rheumatism and other problems of bones, tissues and muscles by maintaining a balance of calcium, vitamins and phosphorous in the body. It is beneficial to include enough green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits (especially banana and prunes) and juices, milk and milk products in your daily diet. Sufficient Vitamin D through sunlight and a daily regime of exercise for 30 minutes is also helpful. You can take up activities like jogging, walking, swimming, rowing, and cycling.

Diet, Nutrition for Rheumatism Treatment | Foods to Prevent Rheumatism

Rheumatism Diet:

There are a lot of advantages if you will fight against rheumatism not only with home remedies and medical treatment but also with preventive measures. One of this is you will be aware on which areas to work on in your life like your diet.

You need to know that taking in good nutrition will work wonders in treating the illness as well as making sure that it does not come back. Start this off with a short fast only water and orange juice for three to four days.

After this fasting regimen, breakfasts of grapefruit or orange could be done followed by a lunch of raw salad made from seasonal veggies with figs, raisins, dates or prunes. Dinner could contain a steamed vegetable or two. You can do this for fourteen days followed by the gradual adoption of a well-balanced diet made up of grains, vegetables, nuts, seeds and fruits. 

People suffering from chronic rheumatism could go on an all-fruit diet for four to five days. After this, the gradual transition to a well-balanced nutrition could be done through taking in great amounts of buttermilk, fresh vegetables, and ripe fruits.

All types of fish and meat should be avoided at all cost. You should also stay away from refined cereals, sugar, and white bread as well as coffee and tea. Highly seasoned and rich foods that are hard to digest are no-no’s as well.

Preventing Rheumatism Disorder | How to Prevent Rheumatism

Rheumatism Prevention Measures:


Although using home remedies is a great way to go, there is such a belief that says that an ounce of measure is better than a pound of cure. So here are a number of preventive measures that you can apply in your life:

The first and the most essential preventive measure that you can do is avoiding placing excessive impact or pressure on areas being affected with rheumatism. The elbows are also areas to be kept free of constant pressure as well.
It is also advisable to take short yet periodic breaks when you are doing some manual labor, like at your yard. This gives your muscles respite after working right along with you.
Avoid twisting, gripping, or clenching your hands repeatedly.
Drinking teas that are known to treat rheumatism like alfalfa tea is already great for preventing the contraction of rheumatism. If they are known to be good for treatment, they could be great for prevention as well.

So if there are people in your family who are asking you where you are going with these measures, tell them that you are just battling rheumatism before its starts. Tell them that it is never too late or too early to be cautious.

Home Remedy for Rheumatism

Derived from a Greek word 'rhuema', which means swelling, rheumatism is essentially a condition in which a person experiences severe pain in bone, muscles and joints, along with swelling.


Derived from a Greek word 'rhuema', which means swelling, rheumatism is essentially a condition in which a person experiences severe pain in bone, muscles and joints, along with swelling. It mostly affects people above 45 years of age and is found in both men and women. There are basically two types of rheumatism - muscular rheumatism, which affects the muscles, and articular rheumatism, which affects the joints. Some of the causes of rheumatism are poisoning of blood with acid wastes, physically stressful work, damp weather conditions and acid-alkaline imbalance. Heredity factors, hormonal disorder and infection in teeth are some of the other causes of rheumatism. However, rheumatism can be cured with some natural remedies. In the following lines, we have provided the best home remedies to treat rheumatism.

Home Remedy For Rheumatism

An effective way to treat rheumatism would be to have one or two tsp of raw potato juice before meals.

Mix 1 tablespoon of cod liver oil in a glass of orange juice. Whip and drink this juice before going to bed.

In a glass of warm water, dissolve 2 tsp each of apple cider vinegar and honey. Have this concoction once or twice a day.

Mix carrot juice and lemon juice in equal proportions. Have a large spoonful of this concoction, everyday, to cure rheumatism.

Mix oil of wintergreen, chloroform and rubbing alcohol in the ratio of 1:3:12. Once the mixture is prepared, rub it on the affected area.

In a quarter of cranberry juice, dissolve 4 tsp blackstrap molasses. Drink one glass of this juice everyday, for curing rheumatism.

Peel some potatoes. Wash 30 grams of this peeling in half a liter of water. Strain the decoction and have it three or four times daily. This is an effective way to treat rheumatism.

The green stalk of rhubarb is effective in curing rheumatism. Crush this with equal amounts of sugar. Have a tsp of this mixture three or four times everyday.

Include foods rich in calcium, magnesium and vitamin C in the diet. This would help in treating rheumatism.

Extract a cup of bitter gourd juice. Mix it with a tsp of honey. Daily dose of this, for three months, would be helpful in treating rheumatism.

Celery is beneficial in curing rheumatism. You can either use it as a condiment or a fluid extract. 5 to 10 drops of this fluid should be mixed with a glass of hot water. Have this decoction before meals.

Consuming half a dozen walnuts everyday is beneficial in treating rheumatism. However, make sure you chew them properly.

In a bucket of warm water, add some rosemary oil. Dip the affected area in this water. This would provide relief from the pain and treat the inflammation as well.

2.Fill a mason jar almost halfway with the dandelion flowers. Take the jar when you pick the dandelions so you know you will have enough.
 
3.Pour oil over the dandelion flowers. You can use olive, canola, almond or grapeseed oil. Fill the jar almost to the top.
 
4.Top off the oil with a shot of vodka to help safeguard the mixture from mildew.
 
5.Secure a piece of cheesecloth over the top of the jar with a rubber band.
 
6.Store the jar in a warm, sunny place for about 4 weeks. By that time, the oil should be infused with the dandelions and the petals of the flowers should have turned brown.
 
7.Strain dandelion material out of the oil and transfer the oil to a new jar.
 
8.Massage dandelion oil mixed with mineral oil or another massage oil into achy joints as needed.
 
9.Store the dandelion oil in a dark place or in the refrigerator to prolong its freshness. If you put it in the refrigerator, it should last indefinitely.

How to Use St. John's Wort to Treat Rheumatic Pain

             Rheumatism is a general medical term used to describe a variety of different disorders that cause pain and weakness. When people speak of rheumatic pain, they usually refer to arthritis symptoms. Though the term isn't used in the medical community anymore, it can still refer to conditions like tendonitis, fibromyalgia and repetitive-motion injury. Because of its anti-inflammatory and antidepressant properties, St. John's Wort is often used as a natural remedy to treat rheumatic pain.

Instructions
 
1.Seek a specific diagnosis for the cause of your rheumatic pain. Since the term can refer to so many conditions and types of pain, it's important to know exactly what is causing your pain.
 
2.Treat any significant underlying medical conditions that might be causing the pain before turning to St. John's Wort as a source of relief. Rheumatic pain can be a symptom of serious immune-system illnesses, such as lupus, which should be treated with the help of your doctor.
 
3.Discuss your plan with your doctor and ask for a referral to a holistic practitioner if she is uncomfortable with your choice to use homeopathic remedies. Do, however, talk to your doctor about any possible interactions of St. John's Wort with your regular medications.
 
4.Use St. John's Wort both internally and externally to treat your pain. In addition to working as an anti-inflammatory agent, St. John' Wort is frequently used as an antidepressant and anti-anxiety agent. The sedating effect of the herb may reduce any emotional distress caused by your rheumatism.
 
5.Purchase St. John's Wort in capsule form at your local health-food store, pharmacy or grocery store. Because of its increasing popularity as an antidepressant, capsules of the herb are sold in many convenient locations.

6.Use a preparation that contains at least 3 percent of the active ingredient, hypericin, in each 300-mg. capsule. An adult dose of the herb is 1 capsule taken 3 times a day.
 
7.Apply an oil extract of St. John's Wort to joints that are causing you pain. The oil is easier to find in health-food stores than in pharmacies. The topical application can provide some temporary relief by dilating the capillaries and increasing blood flow to the area.

How to Treat Inflammatory Rheumatism with Stinging Nettle

             Stinging nettle is one of nature's finest remedies for inflammatory rheumatism. It has been approved by Germany's Commission E for treating rheumatism, kidney and bladder stones, and urinary tract infections. Aside from these qualities, stinging nettle has been used for centuries for treating all types of inflammatory conditions including arthritis, gout and rheumatism. It may be used successfully both internally and externally for joint pain, but only take one form of internal stinging nettle preparation. Take the tea, extract or tincture, but don't take them all in conjunction.

Instructions:
 

1.Make stinging nettle tea by steeping 1 tbsp. dried nettle leaves in 1 cup of boiling water, steeping for 10 to 15 minutes, and then straining the spent herbs from the tea using a tea strainer. Sweeten the mixture with honey, if desired, and drink 3 to 4 cups per day to soothe the symptoms of inflammatory rheumatism.                                                                                                

2.Combine 250 milligrams standardized nettle extract with a glass of water. Drink three times per day to ease inflammatory rheumatism symptoms. The extract may be taken without mixing in water, but some people find the taste a bit too overpowering. Try it and see how you prefer to ingest the substance. 

3.Make a stinging nettle compress and apply externally to ease inflammatory rheumatism pain. Brew one cup of nettle tea according to the instructions above. Soak a clean, cotton cloth in the hot tea and then apply directly to the painful areas. Remove after the cloth cools and repeat as necessary. 

4.Mix 10 to 30 drops of stinging nettle tincture with a glass of water and drink up to four times per day to treat inflammatory rheumatism. Again, you may consume the tincture alone but the taste is very strong, even more so than the nettle extract. Add a bit of lemon or honey to the mixture to counter the taste, if necessary.

How to Treat Rheumatism Using Natural Remedies


             Rheumatism is the term referring to the general aches and pains in muscles and joints, which may be accompanied by stiffness. Most people will suffer from rheumatism by the time they are in their seventies. Read this article to find out how you can treat and prevent rheumatism. 
1.CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE:

Often resting for a few days, followed by a gentle stretching exercises, is all that is required. A warm hot-water bottle or an ice package can also help. Some people find that a firm supportive bandage provides enormous relief. Take pain-relievers as required. Your physician may want to arrange for further investigation if the symptoms persist. 
2.NUTRITION:

Eat plenty of oily fish and all the powerful antioxidant foods, which are rich in vitamin A, C, and E and in the minerals zinc and selenium.

Avoid foods that will aggravate your inflammation, like red meat. Also avoid foods that are likely to increase your levels of uric acid, such as offal, yeast, yeast and meat extracts, roe, taramasalata, and even caviar. Avoid all red and fortified wines and be modest in your consumption of other forms of alcohol.

Don't drink more than one or two cups of coffee a day.
 3.HERBAL REMEDIES:

Anti-inflammatory rubs (such as five drops of chamomile essence in one teaspoon of infused St. John's wort oil) can be helpful for conditions like tennis elbow or frozen shoulder. Rheumatism may respond to cleansing teas, which remove accumulated toxins in the tissues.

Try an infusion of bogbean, meadowsweet, and yarrow leaves which you have flavored with a little lemon juice. Warm compresses can also help - soak a cloth in a cramp bark and angelica decoction, reheating the mix and re-soaking as necessary. 
4.AROMATHERAPY:

The following oils can help ease the pain of rheumatism:

Lavender
Roman chamomile
Juniper
Marjoram
Ginger
Benzoic
Rosemary

Use the oils in the bath or in a compress over the affected area. Benzoin is not too effective in the bath, as it sits on the bottom in little blobs. You can also use these oils in a massage medium, but never massage over swollen or inflamed joints - instead, massage over the affected area between flare-ups.
 5.PREVENTING RHEUMATISM:

If your normal diet is deficient in the vitamins A, C, and E, and the minerals zinc and selenium, there is a greater chance that you may develop some form of rheumatism. Following the nutritional guidelines for arthritis and taking a daily supplement of these essential nutrients will give you added protection against rheumatism and many other disease as well.

Rheumatism Cause

The Rheumatism Cause
There is no such a thing as a single cause of any health problem. We can only talk about cofactors, causative agents and life situations that like pieces of puzzle interact with each other, and together promote a chain of events ending with a named set of symptoms and health problems & with Rheumatism.
All disorders and health problems that happen to humans are multidimensional, because we, humans are multidimensional.
Modern medical science is manly interested in physical and tangible world. It blames too many problems on bad genes, bad viruses, bad bacteria, ...
Genes are always a factor of our health, but that is the only factor we can't do anything about. Genes only represent our predisposition & potential to encounter certain problem or disease. It is our life and our lifestyle as whole that makes the final decision on whether we are going to experience certain problem or not. The truth is, no illness and no disorder or any health problem is caused by a single factor! 
There are virtually hundreds of cofactors / hundreds of causative agents that each have casual relationship to poor immunity, poor health, accumulation of toxins inside body, poor thoughts, and that promotes illness!
Pregnancy: Many people were predisposed to certain illness before they were even born. Fetus can be affected by diet and lifestyle of parents, toxins that parents were exposed to, illness and organ damage that parents experienced, as well as the lack of essential nutrients needed for healthy development during pregnancy. Vaccinations, medications, drugs, narcotics, and other toxins that parents and grandparents were exposed to, before conception and during pregnancy can also seriously affect fetus and the health of a newborn child.
Birth Trauma: The process of labor can cause trauma, which can seriously affect baby both early in life and later in life. Child is twice as likely to suffer serious damage if labor lasts longer then 13hrs.
Birth Defects: If child is borne with a certain disorder or illness, then look for the causative agents and causes in parents. It can be: lifestyle, environment, vaccination, toxins, stress & unpleasant life experiences, poor diet ....
Childhood: In case of any health problems encountered during early childhood, most common causative agents and causative cofactors are: birth trauma, exposure to medications, vaccination, toxins, child was fed with artificial milk, intolerance or allergy to mother's milk, toxic environment, toxins present in air or food and water that mother is consuming.
Health problems encountered later in life: most common cofactors and causative agents affecting health of a modern man are: medications, birth trauma, vaccination, toxins, stress & unpleasant life experiences, poor mental health, poor attitude, poor lifestyle, poor diet, exposure to certain viruses, bacteria, yeast, parasitic animals.
That doesn't mean that every single person is exposed to the same causative agents. Different people can be diagnosed with the same illness, but still have the entirely different set of cofactors causing that same illness. Every person is different! Every individual lives different life!
Beware that we are only able to recognize the "largest" and most common pieces of this "puzzle" called "the cause of illness", while some "smaller pieces" are often unrecognizable.
Our body, our mind, our soul and our spirit are one with our environment. Anything that disturbs balance inside our body, mind, soul and spirit, or our relationship with the environment may promote an illness.
Common underlying causative agents of almost every illness of modern man are: 
birth trauma: during difficult or prolonged birth, physical trauma may result in fine tearing of the tissues inside baby's abdomen. Birth trauma may also result in misalignments of the cranial bones, misalignment of the spinal bones and misalignment of the hip bones, causing pain and digestion problems during the first months of baby's life. Those problems may affect baby's health immediately or later, affecting digestion, elimination, immunity, endocrine system, concentration, learning ability.
In 98 out of 100 kids, symptoms of birth trauma are not recognized or diagnosed, leading to a common childhood illness and commonly treatment with antibiotics or other medications. Exposure to medications early in baby's life is sure factor that will contribute to almost every illness later in life. Many of the problems caused by birth trauma can be corrected by visiting experienced osteopath or experienced manual therapist specialized for treating babies.
exposure to toxins, vaccination, medications and lack of body contact. Exposure to toxins, medications or vaccination during the first few weeks or first few months of baby's life may contribute and may cause serious health problems in childhood and later in life.
One out of 100 non-vaccinated people may develop cancer later in life, while one out of 4 or 5 vaccinated will develop cancer later in life.
One out of 100 non-vaccinated people may develop arthritis later in life, while one out of 5 vaccinated will develop arthritis later in life.
One out of 15.000 non-vaccinated kids may develop autism, while one out of 150 vaccinated will develop autism. References

Those statistics show how much we are affected by the miracle of vaccination.

poor dietary choices and nutritional deficiency - diet rich in processed foods and deficient on essential nutrients is affecting biochemical processes inside our cells. It is also affecting digestion and preventing internal natural detoxification ... read Foods That Kill page!
mental attitude, stress, suppression, negative thoughts, fear, lack of love, lack joy, lack desire to live.
Lack of: physical activity, sweating, moving, sex, laugh...
Combination of those factors is the underlying cause of almost every illness, because those are the factors that are causing congestion of the ducts and vessels of circulation and elimination, such as the bile ducts of the liver, the digestive tract, the blood and lymph vessels, the urinary tract, the meridians (Chi ducts) and the hormonal pathways (endocrine system).
Congestion of the ducts and vessels of circulation and elimination includes:
Obstruction of the bile ducts inside liver by hundreds and thousands of intrahepatic stones -- the main cause of almost every chronic illness
Thickening of blood vessel walls (capillaries and arteries) with excessive protein, leading to chronic health problems such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes, brain disorders, arthritis, cancers, etc.
Waste accumulation in the gastro-intestinal tract, affecting the health of every cell in the body, and indicated in almost every disorder and emotional/spiritual problem
Lymphatic congestion, also indicated in every health problem, including weight gain, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, hormonal issues, reproductive disorders, etc.
Energetic blocks in the body's meridian network and chakra system, affecting all organs and system in the body

Whenever congestion & toxemia exceeds one's capacity to handle it, you will definitely have a disease.

What kind of illness you may develop depends on:
the type of vaccines, medications, trauma & toxins you were exposed to.
level of liver damage caused by the exposure to toxins & medications
the type of parasites, virus, yeast or bacteria that may live inside of you
your total diapason and intensity of the nutritional imbalance
your genetic material (inherited strength of your body - your constitution)
your blood type (A,B,AB,O)
your inherent capacity to handle different toxins
your inherent capacity to handle different lack of essential nutrients
your psychological and mental strength
others
your age & gender
your thoughts (your psychological and mental make up)
your environment and exposure to environmental stressors like radiation
lack of love and touch
professional injuries
eventual past and present injuries and infections
others

Congestion and toxemia may cause or may be followed by:
Formation of Intrahepatic Stones, Gallstones, poor liver function, poor bowel function
Poor digestion - Incomplete digestion may cause poor absorption of essential nutrients,
and poorly digested food may contain toxic substances that our intestines absorb into our blood, lymph and tissues.
Infection by internal parasitic animas - PARASITES (protozoa, amoebae, worms,..)
Infection by parasitic yeasts, viruses bacteria
Overuse of medical drugs
Others (every person has different set of cofactors)
By applying the most basic guidelines of cleansing the entire body, eating nutritiously and living in harmony with nature's laws, you can take complete charge of your health.

About Body-Mind, Soul and Spirit.

"Many of our life problems (health, marriage, problems of materialistic nature, business, problems with children, diseases from dependence) have connections with a family in which we live, with a family in which we grew up as well as family from which our parents derived.
We receive from our ancestors not only the color of our hair or tendency toward epilepsy, or heart diseases, but also a variety of psychological stresses, traumas and pains among which many are on the level of secrecy. Since long ago people have experienced one feeling, which they transformed into saying "". when grandparents eat sour grapes the grandchildren's teeth turn numb
Person suffering chronic illness, often comes from a family where there are many "unfinished businesses" in the past.
Fore example: Family who's members have serious emotional problems, serious conflicts within members going on, or just a lot of feeling of guilt, fear and resentment. Sometimes, those conflicts and entangling are on unconscious level, and person is not aware of it. If those conflicts and problems are not addressed, health, if achieved, is just an illusion, short term experience.

MOST SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS comes from difficult relationship between people.

But, for most people, dealing with those problems is not easy. Being married with "wrong" person, being divorced, being unable to communicate with your kids is not easy. Takes long time to learn, to adjust, to forgive, to tolerate,...
Unfortunately, people who need changes the most, those who are seriously ill, are just too ill to realize it. Most sick people are just too sick to even try simple and easy things like water cure, liver cleanse, juicing, lemonade diet....
Family and Subconscious plays a big part in our health. When we are talking about subconscious, we are talking about past.
"Beside the color of our eyes or tendency toward epilepsy, from our ancestors we inherit various kinds of feelings, tragedies, traumas, tempers, tresses, misfortunes. We also inherit the terror and fear of living in poverty (nevertheless of our temporary status)."
"Families have numerous levels on which they exist and on which they function in the same way as each of us individually. There is a difference between the visible (so called manifesting) level of family's relationship and the level of hidden feelings, games and positions (so called latent level). The pathological balance frequently exists on exactly this hidden level, which, after long-term stagnation of energy, creates sickness or pathological process to that family or to their members." 
"Today we are aware of the fact that any serious emotional trauma that happened in the past to you (or your parents) can have a significant affect on the continual state of your health. 
People can also strongly suffer from emotional trauma inherited from parents who lived with hidden and unsolved rejection, with concentration camp or refugee drama or ancient separation during birth.  
All this pervades the descendents and brings them in an emotional state, which they don't remember experiencing at all. We can frequently see how, in families, children reflect their parents, as if they are looking in the mirror. The characteristics that they have taken from their parents or some distant ancestor include the tendency toward depression, fear, self-criticism, lack of conscience, self-rejection, etc. It is therefore very clear that the emotional trauma is the main reason for bad health." 
"Unfinished businesses within family can block and take away the energy. These can be various family secrets about family's conflicts, murders, war sufferings, rapes, religious intolerances, adultery, frauds, plunders, betrays, etc." 
"By finishing the unfinished business a lot of life energy can being released." 
"Secrets and lies within the family are very important, because the secrets, hidden thoughts and feelings are those that produce the unfinished business and knots. Very often almost whole family energy is spent to keep some secret on the safe place, so the members of the family hardly have strength for anything else in life." Soul is a part of us, which connects our body (material aspect of our existence) and our spirit (our connection with spiritual). Soul is a part of us that is connected to emotions and in this way it knows all truths from the beginning to the end. It is not like mind which analyses, interprets, judges, synthesizes and babbles, babbles, babbles, etc It's medium is not a word but a picture. 
A lot of things that determine our lives, happiness and health belong to those latent levels and it processes beyond the level of our consciousness. Not only does there exist a large subconscious part of us connected to our individual lives from the beginning until present moment, but also there exist a large part in that subconscious that is filled with various important elements from the whole evolution, from prehistoric human until today. As in some unimaginably big computer, tidily in our subconscious we have sorted files that possess all the emotionally important information from the prehistoric days until today.  

This is known as collective subconscious.

Beside individual and collective subconscious, in subconscious part of us there exist one more "sector" in which are placed files that possess something that is called familiar subconscious. This is something that we inherit from our ancestors through our genetics. These are furthermore those "programs" in our lives that are often, automatically and unconsciously happening and determining our destiny. Therefore we, beside the color of our eyes or tendency toward epilepsy, inherit various kinds of feelings, tragedies, traumas, tempers, stresses, also the pain of midwife whose children are dying while giving them birth, the misfortune of their mother to whom they forbid to marry the love of her life, we also inherit the terror and fear of living in poverty (nevertheless of our temporary status).
"That is why we often notice within family, for example, five generations of lawyers or seven generations of doctors or four generations of alcoholics, suicides, schizophrenics, divorces, etc." 
"If the children are the ones whose problems are involved, then the adequate people should work for them in the therapy as their parents or very close relatives." 
It is important to learn what is right and what is wrong, in relationship with people. It is important to regret doing things that are bad. It is important to forgive to those who regretted. It is important to forgive to yourself. It is important to learn from mistakes. It is important to love your parents, your ex partners, your present partners, your children.  
It is important to do god to people. It is important to do god to the children. It is important to support your children. The best that parents can do for their own children is to love the other half. Lack of this love may cause imbalances that will be felt through generations.

The Rheumatism Cause

To understand The Rheumatism Prevention and Curing Protocol, you should first get familiar with The Rheumatism Cause
Now, I assume that you know something about what is causing Rheumatism, so we can continue with the Rheumatism program.

Rheumatism Diet

Let's start with most simple part of this program: Rheumatism diet. When it comes to diet, it is very important to avoid eating Toxins and Foods that Kill. Please follow those links and learn what are The Toxins I am talking about and what are those " Foods that Kill". Now, important part of your diet should also be Water Cure. Please, become familiar with Water Cure. Your Diet should contain: Foods That Heal, Vegetable juices, Fats that Heal, Unrefined Sea Salt. Also, try to understand food tolerance. You can not find the right Rheumatism diet, unless you fully understand and learn about food tolerance.
Take some time to implement and learn all what you have read here, and then continue reading further.

Body Cleansing (Rheumatism)


Now, let's start with body cleansing. Body cleansing is extremely important part of every prevention and curing program. You are guessing: "Dietary changes you made are also a form of cleansing." But, most people need more then this, especially when it comes to liver health. Body Cleansing is even important for children. Our internal organs can hold a lot toxins, and sometimes, it is impossible to get those toxins out, without doing cleansing. Our liver can contain hundreds of intrahepatic stones.
