HOW CONSTIPATION AFFECTS ARTHRITICS: RECOGNISE THE TYPES AND SYMPTOMS OF CONSTIPATION

admin — Fri, 27 May 2011 15:07:47 +0000

Before you set out to gain more fresh air or try other methods of relief, it would be wise to know which type of constipation you have. There are three forms of this malady which can complicate arthritis:

Insufficient expressing of the excrement.

Insufficient quantity.

Evacuations of abnormally dry and hard stools.

The best way to check on your degree of constipation is to examine daily stools.

Continued evacuation of abnormally coloured stools should cause an arthritic to consult his doctor. Lienteric stools containing much undigested food usually signify profound intestinal disorder.

If an arthritic discharges watery or serous stools, it may be due to nervousness, enteritis, or cholera. Pus-like stools may arise from ulceration along the digestive tract or from the rupture of an adjacent abscess in the bowel.

Lastly, arthritics should know that black, red, or bloody stools are danger signals. They are caused by internal haemorrhages, haemorrhoids, or by the use of drugs. Any of the above signs should cause you to seek medical attention promptly.

Other symptoms of constipation include fatigue, coated tongue, headaches, instability, nervousness, and bad breath.

Halitosis often results from excessive putrefaction in the colon. Sharp odours begin to arise in the colon and the air cells in the lungs begin to expel the toxic aromas. Decaying processes caused by over-indulgence in cake and sweets lead to unfavourable changes in the breath. Free use of citric juices and soda pop can raise havoc with the digestive tract itself and cause it to degenerate. This also results in foul breath.

Skin blemishes can be evidence of constipation. They appear when toxic materials have become stagnant in your body.

Why are we devoting so much space to this problem of keeping regular? Because both arthritis and constipation can be caused by the same mistakes. And either ailment can be caused by the other.

Therefore let us continue our examination into this vital subject.

A Leading Doctor’s Opinion

The greatest work we have ever read in regard to constipation is a report in the Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine by Dr. A. A. Fletcher of Toronto, Canada.

Dr. Fletcher mentions the experiments of Dr. R. McCarrison on sluggish monkeys. McCarrison reported that when he put monkeys on a bacteria free diet, high in starches, their colon lost muscle tone and the membrane degenerated. The bowel changes in his experimental animals were structurally and causally of the same nature as those found in human victims of chronically constipated arthritis.

Because the diets were sterilised, bacteria as a cause of arthritis was ruled out. These tests also condemned high starch intake in constipation. It was important to rule out bacteria, because until then rheumatologists were bacteria conscious. They thought that arthritis was caused by infection.

Dr. Fletcher also reported that when Dr. R. Pemberton restricted “inferior-type” starches in the diets (like cake and sweets) of his human arthritic patients, their bowel actions were better, especially if vitamins were added to the diet. The doctors felt that a high starch diet precipitated border-line vitamin deficiencies. And that during the state of malnutrition the body was more susceptible to germ invasion.

Dr. Fletcher’s findings made it clear that more than one vitamin is deficient in the constipated person. Any diet which brings on constipation shows a multiple vitamin deficiency. The doctor stated, however, that it is predominantly a vitamin B deficiency which causes the bowel to break down and to lose its digestive action.

ARTHRITIS BEATEN TODAY: A VERY PERSONAL HISTORY-EVERYBODY NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE RIGHT AWAY

admin — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 03:51:26 +0000

My daughter lived more than halfway across the country. She only got to see me once or twice a year, sometimes less than that. So it was easy for her to see the changes year by year. It was only a couple of years ago that she reluctantly commented on my trouble walking. But knowing how I hated pity, she never said much more than, “Looks like your arthritis is getting really bad.” That was about three years ago. Then, a bit later (as I was carrying her bags at the airport!) she looked at me and squealed, “Dad, you really are cured. You used to just barely hobble around before. I can’t believe it. You’re walking even faster than I am.”

I’m not saying that I can get out there and play football again. But I can hold up to a fair game of fun tennis where we’re mostly just lobbing the ball back and forth rather than trying to kill each other. And I still do have a day or two a month as the weather changes that I’m not completely comfortable – just a nagging, dull little ache. (And, I’m happy to say, we’ve just developed a CMO cream for that, too).

For the most part, though, I’m living a normal active life that’s free of the limitations and constant pain that I suffered before we developed CMO. For a disease that conventional pharmacology and medicine can offer only despair, I along with thousands of others who’ve benefited from CMO, call that a miracle.

NOTE: The San Diego Clinic is dedicated to research and development and patient care. It does not sell or benefit from the sale of CMO or any other product.

ARTHRITIS BEATEN TODAY: ANSWERING YOUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-IS CMO USED FOR ANY OTHER AILMENTS?

admin — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 03:50:24 +0000

There are several physicians whose investigations include CMO as a part of their therapeutic protocol (often along with their usual medications) for other disorders that seem to have certain autoimmune components. In most cases CMO appears to have played a very significant role in assisting recovery from those ailments.

These disorders, many of which are discussed include migraine and cluster headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, emphysema, lupus erythematosus, fibromyalgia, scleroderma, benign prostate hyperplasia, TMJ (painful jaw syndrome), ankylosing spondylitis, silicone breast disease, myasthenia gravis, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, simple asthma, and back and foot pains of undetermined origins. The number of cases have been very limited, and significantly more elaborate and intensive investigations are needed before any conclusions can even begin to be drawn. Nevertheless, many very dramatic reversals and improvements in those afflictions have been noted by numerous responsible physicians.

We recently had a meeting with some European physicians who flew all the way to San Diego just to discuss CMO. They have been astounded by its success in helping treat several very stubborn diseases in which they are even more keenly interested.

As Dr. Douglas Hunt (MD) has stated, “CMO may well revolutionize the way all autoimmune diseases may be treated in the future.”

No treatment of any kind should ever be undertaken without the professional supervision of a physician or other competent health care professional.

ARTHRITIS BEATEN TODAY: ANSWERING YOUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-IS IT OKAY TO EXERCISE? IS CMO EXPENSIVE?

admin — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 03:49:24 +0000

Is it okay to exercise? Yes. Many people want to shed the extra pounds put on by the lack of activity resulting from the limitations forced upon them by the arthritis. Many others want to rebuild muscle strength once they are free to do so again painlessly. But, as with all sound fitness programs, it’s best to do so gradually, building strength or losing weight without trauma. Your body will need time to readjust, so just take it easy for a while. If you decide you want a fitness trainer, be sure to explain your condition. With the pain of arthritis relieved, many individuals tend to overdo their activities and exercises.

Is CMO expensive? The cost of treatment is very modest. Most arthritis victims are already spending more on anti-inflammation and pain medications in just a few months. CMO is a real bargain compared to things like gold shots and many other treatments. Since you usually need to take only one set of capsules, it actually saves thousands of dollars in the long run. And it’s great to be free of the constant pill-popping syndrome as well.

ARTHRITIS BEATEN TODAY: ANSWERING YOUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-DOES CMO STOP ARTHRITIS PAIN? DOES CMO REDUCE INFLAMMATION? HOW LONG BEFORE CMO TAKES EFFECT?

admin — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 03:48:32 +0000

Does CMO stop arthritis pain? Arthritis pain will be reduced by nearly 100% in almost every instance. A small percentage of people experienced reductions of only 70% to 90%, which was still of such great benefit that it allowed them to function quite normally again. Apart from the clinical study, in practical use about 10% to 15% showed only 0% to 50% improvement.

Does CMO reduce inflammation? Yes, and it does so quite effectively. The pressure of the inflammation in the joints is the major cause of arthritis pain, stiffness, and deformation. Inflammation will be reduced by nearly 100% in almost every instance. A small percentage of people experienced reductions of only 70% to 90%. Additional improvements of 10% to 20% were often seen with the use of a second set of capsules.

How long before CMO takes effect? Most people begin to feel relief within two to four days. Sometimes that’s all it takes. Others may take a bit longer, and, rarely, some may even need a few weeks. There have been a few very rare cases where little or no benefit was experienced until up to six weeks after finishing a complete set of capsules.

ARTHRITIS BEATEN TODAY: HOW OFTEN DOES CMO SUCCEED? THE EFFECTS OF CMO MAY LAST FOREVER

admin — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 03:47:29 +0000

Over eighty-five percent of the thousands of people who’ve taken CMO have had a 70% to 100% improvement in joint mobility with corresponding reduction of pain and inflammation.

No ordinary medication gets results like that. Yet CMO, this natural healer derived from the fatty tissue of beef, produces astonishing results for nearly everyone who tries it. Its results, both in the medical trials described in a following chapter and its use by physicians and other health practitioners in day-to-day applications, have been consistently stable.

That is certainly much more than can be said for the conventional pain relievers and

anti-inflammatory medications. Many arthritis victims reach a point where common medications are of no help at all. In the TIME article, a doctor speaks of having gone “15 years without anything new to treat my patients.”

The effects of CMO may last forever-Because it acts against the cause of arthritis, the benefits seem to last indefinitely. Normally it takes only one full set of capsules to “reset” the immune system. Once that happens you are usually free of the need to take any further arthritis medication ever again – including CMO !

Imagine the possibility of being freed forever of the need to take any more arthritis medication. That’s what usually happens with a successful CMO treatment. You’re freed of the relentless and aggravating need to be constantly popping pills. It even frees you of the CMO itself!
