If you suffer from arthritis, you’ve probably been told that it’s the result of “getting on in the years.”
I couldn’t disagree more.
We were designed to be active and pain-free for a very long time. Arthritis is simply not part of nature’s life plan.
But it is part of the modern way of life plan.
More and more young people Today are getting arthritis. In fact, a study from Boston University looked at data on more than 33,600 people. They found that nearly one-third of arthritis sufferers are aged 18 to 64.
It’s almost impossible to believe that this debilitating condition is affecting people as young as 18!
Arthritis doesn’t mean you’re getting old. It also doesn’t even mean there is something wrong with you. It only means there is something wrong with the modern world we live in.
Modern Diet Is Ground Zero For Arthritis
We evolved over millennia to thrive on certain foods.
You were designed to eat meat, wild berries, nuts, and seeds. You were NOT designed to eat lots of grains.
But today’s food industry has turned that balance on its head. Food companies have flooded our markets with cheap grains to boost their profits. As a result, we’re eating more and more grain-based processed foods.
Every time you eat grains, your pancreas has to pump out insulin to push the sugars from these cheap foods into your cells to make energy.
The more grains you eat, the more insulin builds up in your bloodstream. It overwhelms the receptors in your cells. It makes them insulin-resistant. Insulin becomes less effective at pushing glucose into your cells.
That’s why insulin resistance has been linked to every chronic disease of aging – including arthritis.1
In a recent study in Arthritis & Rheumatology researchers discovered that yoUr joints could develop insulin resistance.
They found that the synovium in your joints is sensitive to insulin. The synovium is a membrane found in joints like your knee and shoulder. It surrounds the inner lining of your joint. Its main function is to create synovial fluid which helps nourish and lubricate your joints.
The researchers found that when you have insulin resistance in your synovium, insulin can no longer suppress inflammation in the joints.2
They also suggested that improving insulin sensitivity may be just what we need to slow the progression of osteoarthritis. In a minute, I’ll share with you the first step I take with all my patients to improve insulin sensitivity and reverse arthritis.
Big Pharma tries to relieve joint pain with drugs. But they have very little success, and they cause even more troubling problems.
And when all these drugs fail, mainstream medicine uses risky, expensive, and invasive surgeries to try to repair joint damage. Or they repLace your joints with a hunk of metal.
Natural Strategies For Preventing And Healing Arthritis
I’ve been helping my patients relieve joint pain for almost 20 years – naturally…
1. First add more fat to your meal plan.
To reverse arthritis you must reverse insulin resistance.
Yet incredibly, many doctors and nutritionists still recommend whole wheat and gluten-free grains to their arthritis patients!
I help my patients prevent and reverse arthritis pain by going back to the basics. For that, I recommend a meal plan that is very low in carbohydrates, moderate in protein, and very high in fat. When you eat this way carbs don’t trigger insulin.
But there’s more to it than that… A high-fat diet can actually ease arthritis pain.
As long as you’re eating the right fats. The respected journal, the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases published the results of a study. Half the participants ate a traditional Western diet. The rest ate a diet based on healthy fats. Researchers found that those who included healthy fats had better physical function and an increase in physical ability.
Strictly avoid trans fats and vegetable oils like corn, sunflower, safflower, soy, and canola.
Instead, choose healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, butter, ghee, heavy cream, and MCT oil.
2. Then supplement with frankincense.
Researchers found that frankincense contains enzymes that block a hormone-like chemical in your body called prostaglandin e2 (PGe2).
PGe2 is produced in response to an injury. It causes blood vessels to dilate and expand. This causes the injured area to become swollen and arthritic.
But by directly attacking PGe2, frankincense stops inflammation before it starts.
In a large study, researchers followed 440 arthritis patients for six months. They found that frankincense relieved pain as effectively as Painkillers. It also significantly improved knee function.3
Another study found that those who took frankincense for eight weeks had better knee function, less swelling and more comfort. They could also walk further and had a better range of motion.4
I suggest taking 400 mg three times a day.
3. Finally, treat pain with the original aspirin.
White willow bark contains salicin, the same compound found in aspirin.
Hippocrates had his patients chew on white willow bark to reduce inflammation. Studies show it may be as effective as taking conventional anti-inflammatory medications to relieve arthritis pain as well as musculoskeletal pain.5 I recommend 240 mg per day.
