22. It must be remembered that rheumatoid arthritis is a degenerative and autoimmune disease taking months and years to develop. Minor dietary changes will rarely be successful in reversing the problem. More heroic treatment with Naturo-Food Therapy is required. The following dietary manipulations, dietary guidelines and lifestyle modifications including regular exercise and adequate relaxation, rest and sleep will gradually help establish equilibrium (between body, mind and soul) if adopted and followed diligently.
Body’s Healing Powers
23. Our bodies are unique, highly intricate machines which can easily be damaged and destroyed by eating wrong foods. Equally, ill health and diseases like rheumatoid arthritis can be overcome by well-balanced nutritious diet. All healing comes from within the body. Proper nutrition and remedies are mainly found in natural foods. Natural plant-based foods with “life” in them should be considered as divine gifts from God (Nature) which should be loved, respected and cherished. The acid/alkaline balance of food is extremely important for our well-being. To remain healthy and free of disease, we should aim to consume 80% alkaline foods and no more than 20% acidic foods. See attached paper, “Acid and Alkaline Foods”.
24. Naturo-Food Therapy stems from the unique gift of Nature — that the human body can cure itself provided we allow Nature to take its own course without hindering it by unhealthy eating and by the unwise use of drugs and medicines which invariably have harmful side-effects.
25. The most simple and basic tenet of Naturo-Food Therapy is to replace gradually the diseased blood with new healthy blood by consuming health-giving and nutritious plant-based vegetarian diets of seasonal fruits and raw/steamed vegetables (organic if possible), sprouted wholegrains/seeds, herbs and nuts. The nutrient/antioxidant/fibre-rich natural diets mop up harmful free radicals and strengthen the body’s immune system, which, (i) boosts the body’s ability to overcome virtually all kinds of diseases, (ii) increases the body’s resistance to infections and (iii) slows down and even reverses the ageing process.
26. It must be understood that the success of the treatment through Naturo-Food Therapy will solely depend on the willingness of the patient to co-operate. Excellent success rate has been achieved where patients have strictly adhered the dietary regime advised by our naturo-food therapists.
