Nine Steps to Eliminating Arthritis -Healing by Design
Arthritis is painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that by the year 2040, an estimated 78.4 million (25.9% of the projected total adult population) adults, age 18 years and older, will have doctor-diagnosed arthritis. This condition can create a life of pain and boundaries. However, when we make impactful adjustments to our diet and environment, we lessen the chances of painful inflammation. By following our 9-Step Arthritis Protocol, it’s possible to not only reduce the irritation and inflammation of joint pain but boost your immune system as a whole, helping you maintain an active and healthy life as God intended.
9 STEP PROTOCOL FOR ARTHRITIS
1. FOCUS ON NUTRITION. The food we eat should be the first focus when trying to overcome arthritis because nutrients found in food can heal and repair joints. There are also a variety of foods that can ease inflammation and help relieve some of the joint pain associated with arthritis. It is essential that 80% of your diet consists of alkaline or neutral foods and only 20% or fewer consists of acidic foods. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, but low in processed foods, is not only great for overall health but can help overcome many inflammatory diseases like arthritis.
Alkaline Foods to Consume:
Raw vegetables
Raw fruit
Dark leafy greens
Green juice
Ginger
Turmeric
Lemon
Cayenne pepper
Foods to Avoid:
Grains
Meat
Dairy
Soda
Processed foods
Sugars
Caffeine

2. TRY ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES. Natural anti-inflammatory supplements help to calm the nervous system and reduce inflammation. The best part about using natural solutions, like herbs, is that they work synergistically in the body for the best overall healing. Under the guidance of a health practitioner, many people have used natural anti-inflammatories to slowly wean off of dangerous pharmaceutical drugs and addicting painkillers. Here are a few of our most powerful formulas:
Canacurmin by North American Herb and Spice - Supports a healthy anti-inflammatory response.
Dodecin by ByPro Nutrition - Suppresses inflammation pathways associated with nerve, muscle, and bursae issues.
Pain-eez by North American Herb and Spice – Supports a healthy joint, muscle, and ligament response.
Neprinol by Arthur Andrew Medical - Includes rutin, a bioflavonoid that acts as an anti-inflammatory to reduce pain and swelling.
3. WATER, HYDRATION & MINERALS. Toxins that cause inflammation can only be removed through the fluid systems of the body. Proper hydration and alkalinity support this process and help the body flush out acidic waste. While consuming fluids is essential, not all liquids are the same. It's important to avoid things that will cause dehydration in the body like coffee, black tea, soda, beverages with caffeine, artificial ingredients, or processed sugars. Instead consume filtered water with minerals (adding minerals to the water will help with optimal hydration and also heal the bones and joints.), hot lemon water, and herbal teas or infusions.
Hydration Product Recommendations:
MitoATP by CellCore - Promotes cellular renewal and helps mitochondria in their role of viral protection.
Double Helix Water – Helps to boost immune function, improve cellular interaction and metabolic function, reduce recovery time, and increase energy.
Berkey Water Filter - Removes chloramines, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, heavy metals, and other harmful elements in the water.
Mineral Supplements:
Hypertonic Minerals Pure Marine Plasma by BIOCEAN - Helps maintain optimal hydration and acid-base equilibrium.
Inner Vitality Plant Minerals by Morningstar Minerals - Ensures superior absorption into the bloodstream.
4. REMOVE BACTERIA & INFECTIONS. Did you know that most people have harmful bacteria and infections in their bodies? Did you also know that they can be in the joints? These infections can often be the root cause of inflammation and arthritis, so you must rid the body of these harmful invaders so it can begin to heal. Here are some of the best products to kill bacteria and boost the immune system:
OregaBiotic by North American Herb and Spice - Works like a natural antibiotic to kill infections, while also supporting the immune system.
Biocidin by Bio-Botanicals Research – Includes botanicals to assist detoxification pathways and to address inflammation.
Aloe Gold Tablets by Aloe Life – The antiseptic and antimicrobial agents present in the aloe plant provide the ability to attack, reduce, control, and even eliminate infections.
Super Garlic Immune by Dr. Christopher - Garlic is a powerful antibacterial.
5. DETOX. It's essential that while you work to kill infections and bacteria in the body, you also assist the body in the detoxification process by helping the organs function correctly to eliminate waste.
Detoxing Formulas:
Liquid or Powder Bentonite Clay - Pulls toxins and chemicals from the body. You can drink liquid clay in water daily (1 tsp up to 2 tsp daily in water). Additionally, you can take clay detox baths.
Enemas - Use enemas to help the body remove toxins (add coffee, lemon, sea salt, or baking soda).
6. KIDNEY CLEANSE. Getting alkaline and using the kidneys to help eliminate acid waste is crucial. Once the kidneys and blood start to clean up, the body can remove the acid from the joints and start to heal them.
Kidney Cleanse Recommendations:
Kidney Cleanse Package #3 - Our complete kidney cleanse package for kidney-related infections.
Free Kidney Cleanse Guide & Resources - Our free guide and online resources to help you through your kidney cleanse.
Kidney Detox Tea by Spirit of Health - Clears out kidney stones, opens up filtration and waste removal of the kidneys, and promotes better urine flow.
Kidney/Bladder Tonic formulas by Dr. Morse - Herbal tincture and capsule formulas to help with kidney health and filtration.
7. KEEP JOINTS ACTIVE. We know how challenging it is to be active when you're in pain, but becoming inactive after developing arthritis is a big mistake. For healing to occur, you must maintain good circulation, blood flow, water, and synovial fluid working through the body and joints. However, this doesn't mean you should go run a marathon, quite the opposite. Focus on activities that don't cause too much strain on the bones and joints like walking, Pilates, light rebounding, biking, stretching, and yoga.
If you’re in the local area, visit the Whole Pilates Studio. Our instructors have worked in physical therapy and have specialties in Pilates for Osteoporosis, Multiple Sclerosis, and neurological dysfunction.
8. HEAL, REPAIR & CUSHION JOINTS. You can rebuild cartilage and replace the synovial fluid that cushions the joints naturally.
Joint Health Recommendations:
Deer Antler by Royal Velvet - Promotes a healthy inflammation response.
Joint Vibrance by Vibrant Health - Provides cartilage-building cells called chondrocytes with the proper nutrients necessary for the construction of new cartilage and synthesis of hyaluronic acid.
Joint Astin by Nutrex - Designed to strengthen, support, and nourish your joints, tendons, and synovial fluids.
Multi Collagen Protein by Dr Axe - Promotes collagen synthesis for healthy skin, hair, and nails.
Collagen/Gelatin formulas by Great Lakes Gelatin - promotes rapid cell growth producing synovial fluids to first lubricate joints then build tissue.
9. REPAIR SCAR TISSUE. Systemic (proteolytic) Enzymes help remove the fibrin proteins that make up scar tissue in the body. Scar tissue is often the cause of some of the pain associated with Fibromyalgia and arthritis.
Scar Tissue Recommendations:
Neprinol by Arthur Andrew Medical - Helps to keep fibrin and its harmful effects under control.
Pain is our body’s way of warning us that something is wrong. Covering up the root issue with toxic chemical drugs is only ignoring the underlying problem. We challenge you to dive deeper into your health, ask God for answers, and seek out the underlying issues in your body. Only then can your body truly begin to heal more deeply.
