Heal Arthritis Naturally with Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture

According to the CDC, arthritis affected 54 million adults in the USA in 2014, while also costing more than $5,000 per person in healthcare costs to manage this problem per year.  With very simple changes, that would cost far less than $5,000 per year, people can heal naturally from arthritis.  Very simply, this condition is largely a result of the Standard American Diet (it’s SAD) and other lifestyle factors.  This has been a health problem for millennia and Chinese medicine has successfully employed the use of food, herbs, acupuncture and other forms of treatment to deal with this issue.   An acupuncture physician is fully trained to deal with this clinically.

Arthritis is classified as an autoimmune disorder, in that the body is seen as attacking its own tissue.  The immune system is designed to deal with pathogens.  Rather than thinking the body is attacking it, perhaps it is a possibility to think that a pathogen has taken up residence in the joints and the immune system is simply trying to deal with it.  If the immune system is strengthened, factors that inhibit its function are removed from the body and it is given the resources to deal with the pathogen, many people have reported being able to heal naturally from arthritis.

Clinically, we take a unique approach to every health problem.  Every issue has physical, electrically and emotional/spiritual components to it.  Each one of these areas must be addressed in order for maximum healing to occur.  For more information, please read the article The Five Levels of Healing in the Body.  Western medicine has largely just focused on the physical aspects of arthritis, using drugs, surgery and physical therapy to address it.  None of these things will help to support the immune system, either in removing its confusion or giving it what it needs to properly do its job.

Physical Healing of Arthritis

Certain foods in the standard America diet severely inhibit the function of the immune system.  Dairy products (yogurt, cheese, milk, cottage cheese), wheat, corn, soy, refined sugar, alcohol and fried foods are what support the growth of very harmful viruses and bacteria in the body and kill immune function.  If you want to heal naturally from arthritis, it will be critical to avoid these things for good.

Alternatively, most Americans eat less than 2 servings of vegetables per day.  It will be necessary to consume 6-12 servings of vegetables or more per day if you plan on reversing the damage.  We use very specific protocols and easy ways to ensure that you are able to get this amount of nutrition in your diet every day.  Vegetables are the most nutrient dense, life giving foods on the planet.  Native people around the world that have not been exposed to Western food have very few rates of arthritis and eat unprocessed, nutrient rich foods.  One particular virus consistently comes up in Nutrition Response Testing for those suffering with this health problem and addressing it specifically is a must in healing.  Chinese medicine refers to this problem as Bi Syndrome.  Chinese medicine has a rich history and a wealth of information on how to effectively deal with Bi Syndrome.

Electrical Healing of Arthritis

Acupuncture has gained a reputation for helping people deal with pain and it is no exception for this problem.  The acupuncture system in the body is part of the electrical system of the body, of which the nervous system is also a part.  This is why the stimulation of an acupuncture needle will elicit a very mild electrical sensation.  These points are found all over the body, normally in between connective tissue divides.  Connective tissue is piezo-electric, which means that it is both a wonderful conductor and generator of electricity.  When electricity is restored to a part of the body, such as the joints, it enables oxygen, blood and other pain killing chemicals to restore function to the part of the body being stimulated.  Acupuncture can be very effective for dealing with pain.

Emotional/Spiritual Healing of Arthritis

Every health problem has consciousness attached to it.  This is the hardest for the Western mind to believe.  What this means is that emotional factors almost always contribute to or are a principal cause of why someone has a particular health condition.  Releasing negative emotions from the body is critical for healing.  Please keep an open mind.  Below are the general consciousness factors associated with arthritis.

“Arthritis—Holding on to anger and resentment from the past. Carrying guilt, remorse, and shame. Difficulty forgiving yourself and others. Complaining about life. Worrying but not wanting to make changes. Feeling stuck and limited.” (Inna Segal – The Secret Language of Your Body)

Do any of these things apply to you?  Do you have memories from the past that you know undoubtedly are still affecting you?  One cannot hold onto negative emotions for decades and eventually not be affected by them in the physical body.  Modern powerful consciousness based tools are used to help release emotions from the body.

Healing naturally from arthritis is possible, but some very specific measures are required in order to be able to do what it takes.  Do you really want to heal?  When you address the physical, electric, and emotional/spiritual factors associated with the condition you will have the best chances of healing.  If this approach and information resonates with you, please call Dr. Scott at 407-255-0314 to schedule an appointment.  If you are not in the Orlando, Florida area, phone or distance appointments are available as well.
