Just saw this online and I thjought it might help those who have Arthritis.
The word arthritis simply means inflammation the joints. It was derived from two Greek words that mean the same thing. Arthron, meaning joints and itis meaning inflammation. Simply explained, it is a condition characterized by progressive inflammation which normally occurs when the soft and tender muscles in the joints slowly become inflamed thereby completely restricting the joint to move. It therefore causes a lot of discomfort and pain.
The condition is very popular these days. If you do not have it, then you know or may have heard someone who had it or even died from it when it got worse. The condition is often associated with old age though it can affect just about any age group. Arthritis may not be life threating like cancer or AIDs or any other chronic illness. However, it can negatively affect how you live and make it hard for you to carry out simple tasks such as walking or moving an object using your hands. Fortunately the condition can be put under control with a few herbal cures for arthritis. But before going for the cures, it is important to first understand your condition, possibly form your doctor or physician. This is because, you may be under prescription drugs from which may counteract with the herbal cures for arthritis.
One of the best herbal cures for arthritis is that of vegetable juice. It is a simple herbal remedy but it works effectively and without any side effects at all. Just take a cup of green juice that has been extracted from any leafy fresh vegetable. Then mix the juice in equal proportions with celery, carrot and red beet juice. Drink the juice at least three times daily or two times, after every meal or just in the, morning and before bedtime. This herbal cure for arthritis is effective as the alkaline action of these raw juices effectively dissolves accumulation of deposits in the joint areas and all the other tissues. If you cannot put up with this herbal cure, then try plain pineapple juice. It has an enzyme known as bromelain which helps to reduce inflammation and swelling in rheumatoid and osteoarthritis arthritis
One teaspoon of black sesame seeds well soaked in just a quarter cup of clean water overnight is also one of the best herbal cures for arthritis. It prevents regular joints pains and discomfort. Just take the water that you used to soak the sesame seeds first thing early in the morning together with the seeds.
Lime juice is also an effective herbal cure for arthritis. It is rich in citric acid which is an excellent solvent of uric acid, the primary cause of some arthritis types. Just take the lime juice diluted with water first thing in the morning before you have anything. Garlic may also be used this way but you can take its juice, eat it raw or just add it in your diet. It has great anti inflammatory properties and accelerates the healing process. Other effective herbal cures include, bananas, alfalfa seeds, potato and coconut juices.

I do understand where you're coming from, though. and you're right-it could be dangerous. A client once asked me to write cures and remedies for his natural health website. He didn't want me to include sources and told me I could make it up if I wanted to. Obviously, I didn't do it and went screaming in the other direction.
We are talking about a very serious disease. I also have other pain - from trauma that cannot be cured with any kind of home remedies. I know most people are in the same boat here, one way or another.
I apologize for getting so upset, but this kind of post was like sticking a knife in a deep wound and twisting it. I cried myself to sleep last night, but I don't blame most of the posters, and my sense of humor was a little off with the raisins. But seriously, people in RA have actually had people tell them that is the cure, so one never knows.
I have always been very careful about what I eat, and have been into health foods for over 40 years, long before it became a fad. But Rheumatoid Arthritis is a genetic illness, and the bad whiplash I had triggered asthma, and it is likely the allergy shots I had triggered the gene for RA. So nothing to do with eating. On the other hand, at least I don't have to feel like I did something wrong with my lifestyle choices. And mostly I can accept my disability. Last night was just the wrong night to have read this silly post.
Thanks for those who did dig deeper, like asking for sources, and who have been through this kind of thing with other disorders. And I had to cut back on my Omega 3s, because I was bruising so badly. I guess there is too much of a good thing.
"The word arthritis simply means inflammation the joints" (Nothing simple when people are in excruciating pain from it)
and
"The condition is very popular these days. " (What, like fur-lined boots and all-inclusive resorts?)
I was completely offended by the statements
"The condition is very popular these days."
"The word arthritis simply means inflammation the joints."
It is BS at best. And this poster in known for nothing but outrageous lies. Just click on VIEW MORE POSTS to see some of the total BS this poster has told.
I understand how you were hurt by this nonsense "article". I did not want to leave you feeling so all alone because I have been there with you.
Arthritis is a horrible disease. It causes terrible damage and horrific pain and suffering. To even SUGGEST that eating anything will CURE it is beyond mean. It is thoughtless and uncaring to post such nonsense here where people with intractable pain are suffering horrific pain every single day.
I hope you are feeling better. I understand what it is like to listen to this stupid stuff and become very angry. There are still people who tell me that some exercise will fix me, or eating some whole wheat will solve the underlying disease which is caused by gluten.
Please take care. I am in pain all the time from arthritis. I know how bad it hurts. You are the most brave caring person I have met. It takes a great deal of courage to do all you can to live when this is your daily struggle.
The real angels are the ones persevering in this struggle with pain living the struggle everyday.
