If you heard there was a source of disease which caused literally hundreds of different illnesses, wouldn’t you think that would be one of the world’s greatest medical discoveries? Just such a wide assortment of diseases were found and proven to come from focal infections present in infected teeth, jaws and tonsils.

According to the research by the late Dr. Roger Wyburn-Mason, the cause of rheumatoid arthritis and some other chronic and rheumatoid diseases may be an amoeba parasite, amoebae Limax or Naegleria. Some physicians have found that when a certain type of copper is used in microgram quantities, it is a very conservative treatment, obtaining therapeutic benefits in ridding the body of toxic parasites such as amoebae without risking toxic reactions or serious side effects.

In July of 1986 The Arthritis Trust of America/The Rheumatoid Disease Foundation brought to its Second National Medical Seminar, Dr. Helmut Christ, M.D. of Bisingen, West Germany, as a speaker. One of Dr. Christ’s subjects was “Psoriasis Under Control at Last.”

People must know that the correct medical name for the therapeutic use of natural enzymes is "Systemic Enzyme Therapy." This means that enzymes flow throughout our body, producing the desired healing effects.

For an accurate description of Systemic Enzyme Therapy, one needs to know a little bit about the structure and function of enzymes, in general.

Between one and two million women have had silicone breast implants to improve their physical appearance. Within and after thirty years, thousands of women have been questioning their earlier decision, and many seem to be suffering major disabilities as a result of these implants. In 1993 the FDA placed restrictions on the use of silicone for breast implants and currently (1994) there is pending a record $4.7 billion settlement in one of the nation's largest class-action suits resulting from the implant damage.

Dr. Jonathan Wright interviews Dr. William Kaufman about his ground breaking research with niacinimide for the treatment of arthritis and general joint pain.

The subject of intestinal microflora is of importance to arthritics for two major reasons: (1) it is essential for good health to have a good colony of synergistically (working together and reinforcing one another) behaving microflora; (2) it is essential for metabolization of some of the medicines we recommend when halting the progress of Rheumatoid Diseases. There are more bacteria in the world today than all the humans ever born.

Lupus Erythematosus and Scleroderma are classified as vascular diseases and can be treated in a similar manner with equally good results. Lupus Erythematosus is a chronic, nontuberculous disease of the skin marked by disklike patches with raised reddish edges and depressed centers, and covered with scales or crusts. These fall off, leaving dull-white scars. Scleroderma is a disease of the skin in which thickened, hard, ridged, and pigmented patches occur. During the course of the disease, the connective tissue of the skin layer beneath the epidermis (corium) and the subcutaneous structures are increased and a "hidebound" condition results.

Lymph is an integral part of the body’s circulatory system, being the connecting medium between enclosed arteries/capillaries/veins, and the cells/tissues outside of those blood vessels. It is composed of water, inorganic mineral salts, and white blood cells. Toxins in the environment accumulate in the lymph so it is vital to detox.

The unlucky invasion of Borrelia burgdorferi, the spiral-shaped microbe injected by at least one species of tick, Ixodes scapularis, seems to present the unwitting victim with arthritic symptoms that also may require more than one approach for its solution.

Renowned healers of antiquity employed honey, bee pollen, propolis, and royal jelly.... It was when the laboratories of the world community of nations confirmed that bee pollen contains all nutrients necessary in human nutrition that an efficient way to harvest bee pollen for the use of man became a necessity.

In the arthritis packet there is helpful information that leads you to understand the cause of arthritis and possible natural and complementary approaches to eliminate the pain and possible rectify the cause of the problem.

A mechanistic approach to the treatment of the infectious rheumatoid diseases can be more effective and less costly by controlling and preventing the disease and not just the symptoms. The elimination of the microbial root cause should be the primary target.

Harvard Medical School researchers have now found that the receptor activated by chemicals in hot chili peppers is also responsible for the ongoing, burning pain associated with inflammation, tissue damage and arthritis.

If you’re one of those suffering from Osteoporosis, then you have a greater risk of fracturing a bone, often a hip. That’s a one in six chance of hip fracture for women, and that ratio is a greater ratio than the one in nine risk they have in suffering from breast cancer.

Chelation is a chemical term given to molecules that combine or complex with metals such as lead, mercury, copper, iron, calcium, etc. The term is taken from ‘chela’ the pincer-like claws of crabs. Such agents hold metals making them ineffective by limiting their availability for metabolic activity.

Gus J. Prosch, Jr. speaks on the anti-amoebic treatment of Rheumatoid Disease.

Gouty Arthritis is a defect in the ability of the body to rid itself of excess uric acid, thus causing uric acid crystals to lodge in the collagen tissue matrices throughout portions of the body, especially near the joints, or at other locations where a supersaturated solution of poorly dissolved uric acid will easily fall out of solution, near cooler portions of the body.

Back in 1915, a French surgeon, Prof. Pierre Delbet, M.D. discovered that Magnesium Chloride solution was not only harmless for tissues, but it had also a great effect over leucocytic activity and phagocytosis; so it was perfect for external wounds treatment.

A person's overall nutritional intake is the most important single factor for preventing sickness and achieving wellness, and it is fundamental to every disease condition. Good dietary habits are a most necessary condition for reversing or controlling all disease states, but may not, in themselves, be a sufficient condition.

You are probably familiar with Linus Pauling's views in favor of the heavy use of Vitamin C, one of the great anti-oxidants. Much original work with large dosages of Vitamin C was done by Fred R. Klenner, M.D. of North Carolina. Dr. Klenner found that viral diseases could be cured by intravenous sodium ascorbate in amounts up to 200 grams per 24 hours.

You start the cure by learning what Rheumatoid Disease is, where it's located in the body, and what causes it. The very first thing to learn is that it is a disease of the whole body, not of your joints.

Food allergies contribute to Rheumatoid Disease, and, if they do not mimic the symptoms of Rheumatoid Disease, they may also help to cause the symptoms.

The progressive immunologic rheumatoid diseases are characterized by periodic and chronic symptoms. The discovery of more effective forms of sustained therapy are handicapped by one significant fact: in nearly all forms of chronic arthritis, the causative factors although suspected remain unknown. An infectious agent has long been thought to initiate...

If left untreated, Rheumatoid Arthritis and other forms of Rheumatoid Diseases can become progressively worse, eventually leading to painful crippling, but this is particularly true of Rheumatoid Arthritis, which can and will destroy the joints unless effective treatment is administered in time.

Those who tell you that nothing much can be done for Arthritis are only fooling themselves and you. A great deal can be done, as you will learn – and crippling is not inevitable.

The Arthritis Trust considers the nearly 100 rheumatoid diseases – including Rheumatoid Arthritis – as a systemic disease. Since the disease can affect any organ or system in the body, manifestation of symptoms produced give rise to the various name classifications often misconstrued as totally separate diseases.
