Very good advices have been shared in this thread, but one very important thing is missing!
I myself have been suffering with a rare form of arthritis, called ankylosing spondylitis (you know, people who are bent so bad they cant look in front of them, thats what i got).
I do not yet suffer from the deformity, and i wont let that happen!
2 years ago i could barely walk, just a trip to the bathroom was torture and most of the time i had to walk on my knees. I had to go back to living with my father because i couldnt take care of myself. I think we have to hit the bottom of the barrel before we realize we have everything inside ourselves to get out of it.
So anyways to get back on topic, the one thing missing in this thread is the power of meditation! When i was at the bottom of all bottoms, i decided to start meditating again. Funnily, my health started changing very rapidly, over night! I also started doing breathing exercises to help oxygenate my body (the arthritis i suffer from affects the ribs too, making breathing quite painful, thus reducing the oxygen intake). The breathing exercises were quite painful, and i wasnt able to do a lot of sequences at a time and that was allright. What paid off was to stick with it and respect my limits. The road back to health can be long and hard, but its there! You cant detox your body from all of the abuse of bad food/toxic medications in a day, its a gradual thing.
After i started getting better from the meditations and breathing exercises, my mind started to be more clear as well. My sleep was much better too, i went from sleeping in bunches of 15 mins to 4-6 hours straight, that was quite good! I was then able to start doing research and start changes in my life. All of the advices in this thread cover most of it but ill list them again.
Acid blood is a terrain for sickness.
You cant have a good health if your blood is acid. There are supplements you can take to help bring your PH back to alkaline, but i went the food route. This route will bring you improvement in a much slower way but thats what i prefer, because the changes i put in my food habit are permanent. There are charts all over the internet showing you which foods are alkaline and which are acid, just google "acid alkaline food charts". You need to eat 80% alkaline foods, 20% acid.
You need to get rid of everything that lowers your immune system. The list here is long unfortunately.
-Get rid of all processes foods (white sugar and flour, corn syrup, sodas, etc etc).
-Get rid of GM foods (you will have to go organic).
-Get rid of canned foods (the preservatives they put in them are bad for you, on top of the fact you dont know where the food in them came from - aka GM food, irradiated food, etc).
-Get rid of products with aspartame (sodas again, chewing gum, etc).
-Say no to vaccines (they got a lot of bad stuff in them, like mercury and who knows what else).
-If you can afford it, get rid of your tooth amalgams, they are a source of mercury which poisons your body and kills your immune system (you can replace them with a ceramic filling).
-Get rid of red meat and diary products (unfortunately all the cattle is treated with growth hormones and antibiotics, and those pass in the milk and meat and thats bad for your immune system).
-Bottled water (here in Canada, you cant find bottled water without fluorides in them anymore, if you can find true pure bottled water in your area then youre fine, but the plastic bottles are bad anyways).
-Get rid of your microwave oven
-Get rid of your mobile/cell phone
Detox your body!
-Fasting helps a lot here.
-Drink a lot of water (avoid fluoridated and chlorinated water though, you might need a good water filter/distiller if your water source is bad).
-Eat organic. Eat a lot of fresh veggies and fruits (eat their seeds when possible).
-Meditate!
-Listen to relaxing music, everything that will reduce your stress level is good for you. Listening to Solfeggio Frequencies will help you a lot, you can find them in youtube (the healing frequency is 528).
-Oxygenate your body. Do breathing exercises, you can do it while you meditate, take a walk, etc
Sorry if that post got long
But i can tell you ive done 90% of what ive listed here (cant afford getting rid of my tooth amalgams atm), and right now im well enough that i was finally able to stop taking my poisoned prescription pills 4 months ago. I can now sleep a whole night. I still cant run or walk very fast but its getting there. I can now cook my own food and take care of myself. I also discovered im quite good at cooking food! Its totally possible to eat healthy while your food also tastes very good. I cant stand processed foods and restaurants anymore, they taste like **** (proof i have detoxed well so far).
So anyways good luck! Im sure you have everything in you to get better
