Arthritis relief... Naturally!

Mainstream medicine treats autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis... With steroids and other immunosuppressive medications, most of which are toxic when used long-term. Patients dependent on these strong drugs are less likely to respond to natural treatments, which can moderate autoimmunity and help control symptoms.
Here are a few recommendations for fighting arthritis pain without prescription drugs:
- Avoid polyunsaturated vegetable oils, margarine, hydrogenated vegetable oils or any products made with partially hydrogenated oils of any kind.
- Increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids (eat more cold-water fish, walnuts or freshly ground flaxseeds).
- Eliminate or reduce intake of coffee and tobacco - both have been linked to an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis.
- Get regular aerobic exercise (swimming is best for those with rheumatoid arthritis).
- Practice relaxation techniques. In addition, visualisation could help moderate autoimmune responses and psychotherapy could help alter emotional states that keep the immune system off balance.
- Try hypnotherapy or guided imagery. Look for a therapist willing to take on an autoimmune disease. Meditation and yoga can help, too.
- Increase your intake of the anti-inflammatory herbs ginger and turmeric.

A boost to stop easy bruising
Q: I bruise ridiculously easily. My legs always have at least a few on them. Nobody else I know bruises like this. What could be the reason?
Dr. Wright: You're likely low on vitamin K, flavonoids or both. You can boost your vitamin K levels by eating deep green vegetables. You may even want to take probiotics since vitamin K is made by friendly intestinal bacteria. Boost your flavonoid levels by eating blue, red and purple foods. Until the easy bruising goes away completely, you should also take 5-10mg of vitamin K daily and use a supplement high in flavonoids, such as bilberry, hawthorne or ginkgo.
