PREFACE
Thank you for buying this book to cure yourself of this dreaded and painful disease. Many of you may have already spent a fortune trying to find a cure for, at least, to get relief from the pain that you encounter round the clock, each day of your life. First, you suffer from the disease, and then you spend a good amount of time visiting the clinic, spending thousands of dollars in medicines and consultation fees. The doctor tells you straight away, there is no cure for this disease but only relief. Day after day you are on medication, unsuitable for the other organs of your body. In course of time you develop complications and visit other doctors for developing symptoms which may be damaging your other organs. This puts you in a whirlpool of doctors and medicines. This little handy guide will definitely appraise you of all what you need to know and if not cure, at the least provide you with the relief you are seeking elsewhere but never been able to find it. It will advise you how to gradually do away with unwanted medication and find a cure in a simple way.
Another good news about this book is, you need not sit in front of your computer to find a cure for RA/OA because our check list shows we have put in all relevant information that you would find searching the net for hours each day for years together. So this guide book will be one book that you need near your bedside to refer to day in and day out.
I pray for your fast recovery, God bless you!

Introduction
For your information there are over hundred different types of arthritis. The popular types are Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Osteoarthritis, arthritis and Gout. The most common among them is, Osteoarthritis (OA), which could be due to low calcium and overuse of the joints and with age. Here in the first part we shall discuss Rheumatoid Arthritis due to which, joints which bear our body weight, such as, hip, knees and spine are affected. This disease comes on very gradually with mild to moderate pain, very unassuming, in course of time. Only after a few months or years the symptoms matures and surfaces.
What is Rheumatoid arthritis, causes of Rheumatoid arthritis and symptoms of Rhuematoid arthritis.
What is Rheumatoid arthritis?
This is an auto-immune disease, meaning the immunity defense mechanism of your body attacks mostly the body joints itself thinking it to be an alien. This is the cause for inflammation, swelling and pain in the joints. The lining of the joints thickens and swells gradually. In course of time there is damage and loss of the cartilage. This results in a loss of the fluid and spacing of the joints making it stiff and immobile. This damage cannot be repaired and therefore, early diagnosis is recommended in order to stop further damage to the joints. In severe cases joint deformity may occur. Since it is systemic disease, it affects the joints, eyes, cardiovascular, respiratory and other body parts and organs. Mostly, it affects women and older men. People with a parental history of RA could also be affected. The exact cause of this disease has not yet been established. Unhealthy lifestyle is the major cause so is the genetic factor.
With a proper medication, change in lifestyle and exercise one may find some relief. Some promise and headway has been found in alternative medicines, homoeopathy and herbal remedies which put the disease in remission and symptoms may disappear permanently. None of these are clinically proven 100% but case studies show a remarkable improvement in otherwise chronic and non-reversible RA.
Causes of Rheumatoid arthritis
Decades of research could not exactly pinpoint the causes leading to RA. It is understood environment and genetics and maybe hormones play an important part in introducing RA in human body.
People who smoke are on high risk for RA. Certain other causes are mosquito repellent sprays, smoke, pollution and living in rooms without much ventilation. People who eat red meat and live on high protein diet may also be susceptible to RA. Otherwise, logically, one or more factors, naturally is responsible for an RA onset. People, who eat right, exercise, live an active life, refrain from smoking and live in lesser polluted environment may, in contrast, reverse their ageing process leave alone inviting RA or any other disease in their body. In RA we rarely give a thought to intestinal health. We pay our attention to the pain and discomfort of the joint inflammation and the drugs we are taking on a regular basis and spend most of our time in improving our RA conditions.
Doctors are busy finding cure by administering different stereotype drugs available in the market. The most common ways are some NDAIDs with DMARDs, Biologics, supplements and recommending exercises. The RA is hibernating in the body due to strong doses of such medicines; it fools us to believe the sufferings are over. Over a long period of time, taking strong drugs surfaces other symptoms, this compels the doctor to eliminate some medicines and add another; with the elimination of some medicines appear that old chronic pains.
If you turn your focus to digestive process you will realise the underlying cause. The underlying cause of RA is not in your limbs or muscles; it is in your gut. It is established now the cause leading to RA is an enzyme formed in your gut. Poorly digested food and all unhealthy gut conditions ultimately cause RA. Gut conditions, such as, yeast, bad bacteria, a perforated intestinal wall, hyper-acidity, unhealthy mucosal barrier and low digestive enzyme are all causes leading to RA. Undigested or poorly processed nutrients ultimately find its way in your blood stream triggering this autoimmune response. With poor digestion we generate lesser friendly bacteria, also called Probiotics or Micro flora. These are responsible for destroying the harmful bacteria, yeast and a host of unfriendly microbes and harmful fungus that grows within our gut. They are part of our defence mechanism and also responsible for producing enzymes; strengthen our immunity system, keeping round the clock interaction with our internal body via the gut. Fluoride and chlorine in our municipality water is one cause to destroy these friendly bacteria. Taking Probiotics supplement is one way to improve your gut health. Also eating some fibrous food also improves the gut health.
The only protection that you have between all the items that enter your body through your mouth and what enters your blood stream is the single cellular layer of your intestinal wall. Problems arise when infections and toxins cause gaps in your intestinal wall, which is referred to as a ‘leaky gut’. As we discussed above, it is possible for these perforations in your intestinal wall to allow large foreign proteins to pass through the ‘leaky gut’ and enter your blood stream. These foreign proteins, which may be either undigested food particles and/or microorganisms, are referred to as ‘antigens’.
These antigens escape the confines of your intestines and end up in your blood stream, where they are successfully identified as foreign bodies, in the same way your body identifies other foreign proteins of bacteria, viruses and parasites. To combat the antigens, your body makes an antibody and attaches it to the antigen to form a large complex in the blood. Normally, this antibody-to-antigen process is easy to undertake and also easy to remove from the body. However, if there are simply too many of these antigen-antibody complexes for the body to handle then some of them may survive. The complexes are attempted to be filtered out but may
