My story
I am a woman and got reumatoid arthritis in 2000.
The specialist at the hospital informed me that rheumatoid arthritis was incurable, and that there was nothing I could do about it. In rare cases, if one was lucky, it could "blow over"!
He then explained to me that various treatment options were available, which I had already read about on the Internet. I was given a prescription for pain-relieving tablets (NSAID, ibuprofen) to take away the pain, and was sent home with an appointment to return in three months time.
It took me some time to accept this diagnosis, but I had a lot of joint pain, all my joints were swollen and red, I had poor digestion, particularly with a tendency towards diarrhoea, and I felt generally tired and as if I had an infection, with a recurring sore throat. I had to reluctantly accept that this condition wasn't disappearing by itself, but grew worse and worse.
All my blood tests were normal except for a slightly high level of rheumatoid factor, and there was no indication of infection or poisoning.
After looking into the conventional treatment options and their side effects, I decided that there had to be another approach to take, a way to help this illness to "blow over", and to re-establish the inner physical and mental balance necessary for my body to function properly.
I used the following sentence to spur myself on:
A lot of smarter, but more skeptical people
don't even try,
and they remain unsuccesfull.
And not least, I decided that as often as possible, I would find and read about a person who had had the same diagnosis, and yet lived a life free of pain and symptoms - to keep my goal in sight. I decided not to share stories about illness with others, but success stories instead. Even if they were just about being able to bend a finger which couldn't bend before.
Thus began my journey through the alternative world, with victories and defeats, and lots of research. The Internet has been of priceless help to me, and I have studied, read and testes various forms of alternative treatments, cures, and changes to habits and lifestyle.
I reached my first goal.
It would have been nice if everything I had eventually found and read had been collected at one place, so that I didn't have to use all that time and energy to find it. I would have been able to help myself faster and earlier than I did.
About the book and why it has been written
I have therefore gathered together everything I found, in the hope of making it easier for you! The book is a handbook and a plan you can use at home. You don't need to go to an alternative medicine practitioner or accept some or other set of beliefs in order to use the book's recommendations.
My starting point was the disease I myself had, but the book can be of great benefit to anyone who is either struggling with disease or wants to prevent it.
A large number of the suggested treatments and changes to lifestyle and diet discussed in the book can have a positive effect on numerous other diseases in addition to rheumatoid arthritis, and these will be mentioned in the various chapters.
Everything I have read, tried out, done and worked out, has been gathered together into this electronic book (e-book), which I have called:
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: Regaining balance
A handbook, a reference tool and an introduction to natural (alternative) ways to re-establish physical balance, health and to improve your quality of life.
I have endeavoured to extract the essence of hundreds of pages of information, thus the book is now available in a 63 page accessible and manageable print format.
This book will save you a lot of time, which you can instead use to concentrate on what is most important:
Starting on a natural (alternative) way to re-establish your mental and inner physical balance, by eliminating disease-causing factors, changing your lifestyle and strengthening your immune system.
Regardless of how many years you have been sick!
The book contains a plan for doing this and suggestions, recommendations, explanations and recipes for lots of things you can do. It also provides links to hundreds of pages on the Internet where you can further deepen your knowledge.
You can buy the book here through this web site for only 25.00 USD (140.00 DKR / 19.00 EUR) The price in US$ and Euro will be adjusted in line with exchange rates once a month!
Should everyone receive the same treatment?
We are not all the same, and what helps one person might not help someone else.
This statement is the exact opposite of what established medicine prescribes. Everyone gets the same treatment and the causes are not discussed. Since rheumatoid arthritis is believed to be incurable, all treatments are aimed at suppressing the symptoms and delaying the consequences. Medication is given to treat the symptoms, causing serious new side-effects in the longer term, which are in turn treated in the same way. This will be explored further in the first chapter of the book.
Hippocrates said:
Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.
One man's food is another man's poison.
This is the underlying assumption of the book, and its message.
However, there are certain things which help us all, and other things which help some and not others.
You will get to know these and many other suggestions for treatments and changes to lifestyle by reading this book. Everything I have written about has been found out there in cyberspace, and buying this book will save you lots of time and surfing on the Internet.
You might already start to benefit after reading and starting on the free "cure" suggested in the third chapter of the book.
Or perhaps you'll have to go further, incorporating and combining other things in your treatment, refraining from things you are used to - finding your exact path. Sometimes you will have to use your intuition and your sense of "this is what is right for me". You will have to learn to trust yourself, and to go easy on yourself if you make a mistake. Everything which has been written about in the book builds upon a holistic view of human beings and is about choosing a natural way, without using chemicals or synthetic medications.
The book helps you with all this, and is structured so that you can follow it like a plan.
The book is about strengthening your immune system, eliminating disease-causing factors and giving your body what it needs in order to help it return to the physical and mental balance necessary for it to function properly.
It's not about miracle cures, or being "healed" from one day to the next. It's about a slow, progressive process, with setbacks - an opportunity to get to know your body and your mind's reactions, and slowly, through patience, self acceptance and perseverance, to rebuild your life - arriving at a new life and a new way of living it.
You cannot expect that you can just be "healed", and then continue the same life which made you sick before. Nor can I give you any guarantees, but I will show you some paths which can help you. And some of the things you will get to know have to and will become an integrated part of your new lifestyle, because you will experience an improvement.
I do not encourage you to stop any medication you are taking, from one day to the next, without consulting your doctor. But I do encourage you to find a doctor (if you can), who will support you in your attempts to use alternative (natural) methods to treat your disease.
The sooner you do something about your situation after getting sick, the greater your chances of getting back to living a normal life. If you have been sick for many years, the process might take time. But the possibility is there, and you will certainly experience improvement, and I wouldn't rule out the possibility that even deformed joints can regenerate themselves!
Millions of people all over the world have their lives ruined by this debilitating disease, but there is hope for all, and there are many people who, like me, have done something about it and who today live a normal life without pain and deformities.
I have written my book in the hope of being able to help make this difference in your life, and in the lives of others. There will be many things I have left out, either because I didn't know they existed, or because I didn't find them significant at the time. Please be patient with me. Støder du på sådanne mangler eller har erfaringer, If you encounter any such deficiencies or if you have an experience you would like to share, you are very welcome to write about it in my FORUM.
Why an e-book?
I have chosen to make the book available on the Internet and sell it as an electronic book (e-book) for the following reasons:
You don't have to make a trip to a bookshop. You get the book sent directly to your home via your Internet connection, about 5 minutes after your payment has been registered.
Once the server has registered your payment, you will receive a message in your mailbox containing your access code and password, giving you free access to the book whenever you want it.
The book contains ongoing links to web sites all over the world. Once you have purchased the book and gained access to it on the Internet, you can print it out and read it and find the links you would like to study more closely. Or you can click directly on the links in the book as you read it, while you are on the Net. There is a users' guide at the front of the book.
Via the book, you will be able to visit many web pages containing further details which would have taken time for you to search out for yourself. There are hundreds of books about alternative medicine, herbs, diets and treatments. And there are even more on the Internet. Through my links you can find new links. Thus the book is completely open and can serve as a kind of door to even greater knowledge and to the discovery of an even bigger world. I have taken rheumatoid arthritis as my starting point, but a large number of other diseases automatically come into the picture when one takes a holistic view. Many of the treatments mentioned in the book are therefore treatments which can have a positive effect on numerous other diseases. (osteoarthritis, osteoperose, typeII diabetes, Altheimers, excess weight, Chron's syndrome, cancer and other)
I wanted to reach as many people as possible with all this knowledge, as quickly as possible, and I decided that an electronic book on the Internet was the fastes and most effective way to achieve this.
I therefore chose to write my book as an e-book for distribution via the electronic media.
It's about taking action
If you choose to buy my book now, there is one thing I would like to draw to your attention before you start.
The book is just the beginning. It gives you a plan you can follow, and a host of options. If two or three of them have an immediate positive effect on you, that's wonderful, but often it takes more than that.
The book gives you a plan, it gives you an overview, a number of options and links to even more, and it can thereafter serve as a reference tool which constantly encourages you to press on, even though things might look bleak and difficult sometimes. There is always a road to keep travelling. It doesn't stop just because some or other "fish oil capsule" didn't work for you. There are lots of things you can do.
It's about taking action. It is therefore not enough to simply read the book, you have to do something too.
You should be prepared to embark on a journey which will demand certain things from you.
Your desire to get better, the courage to try something new, and the belief that what you are doing is good for you.
If this strikes a chord with you, then this book is for you!
Many of the suggestions for lifestyle changes and treatments described in the book are relatively cheap and easy, and are things you can start on straight away.
Some people will experience improvement in their health after just a few adjustments and a few days/weeks. Others will have to make more adjustments and spend more time - perhaps years. Remember that it has often taken a long time for the body to build up its present imbalance, so it can also take time to eliminate it. (You will understand why children and youths can still be affected by rheumatoid arthritis once you have read the book).
In just five minutes from now you can be in possession of a book which can give you the inspiration, knowledge and support to start a new chapter in your life.
Don't miss out on this opportunity and waste your time.
Seize this chance!
It will only cost you 25.00 USD (140.00 DKR / 19.00 EUR) and can save you loads of time, energy and money.
Throughout the book, I will try to help you as much as I can in this process, but in the end it is of course you who choose and you will have to make you own decisions.
From me to you
If you suffer from rheumatoid arthritis or any other disease, I am sure that you will benefit greatly from using my book.
I wish you well on your journey.
The world is lying at your feet, waiting for you to get involved and to take responsibility for your life and your health.
I did it, and I haven't regretted one moment of it. I am still on my journey and always will be.
Once you have purchased my book you will already have made a start. You have decided to do something about it, and that is the first step towards healing.
And I wish you the best possible success!
