 ASK LENA HEALTH Q & A EDITION!
====================================

Smoke is clearing as the fires are almost out North of us and our beautiful clear blue skies reappear...

Today's question covers a very common issue! Rheumatoid Arthritis is a very debilitating disease and when treated conventionally can put you into a wheel chair yet does not treat the disease. Symptoms can disappear for a time but will require stronger drugs until the body can't live with the results.

The answers to questions submitted to me each week come from my 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse along with many years and ongoing education in nutritional and alternative treatment modes. Add that to many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland, a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist, who many years ago, beat his cancer death sentence given by the traditional medical world, has helped along the alternatives path and hopefully help to give hope to those who need it... Also receiving a lot of study reports and try to ascertain if they are good or bad then report them to you, which has increased my knowledge along the way and I pass them on to you to use or not...

I am not a doctor or dentist and you should not think of me as one!! My years observing life and health of the many people/patients around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating - prescription domino effect - while watching those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more health problems than they help. Those same medical professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy or how to prevent illness, which led me to look for something to change that premise for myself and those around me. In looking outside the Westernized medical profession I found and continue to find alternatives that really work to create health and longevity - when adhered to - beyond anything the traditional medical world can do...

QUESTION:
 
Hi Lena:

I've had RA for eight years and was prescribed Prednisone (5mg daily) and Methotrexate (7 X 2.5 mg once a week).

I hate these drugs but as long as they're working, and they are, my rheumatologist will not consider anything else. Actually he strongly advised Humira, which I refused.

Can you think of any way I can get off the drugs or maybe go to some alternative therapy. I have not had a good night's sleep for eight years (Prednisone) and I'm nearly demented.

Any advice you can give me will be most welcome.

Thanks.
Patricia.
 
 
ANSWER:
 
I am sorry you are in such dire straits Patricia. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is not a lot of fun and means your immune system is totally out of whack and desperately needs rebuilding, which I'm sure you already know. Sadly, the medical world has no clue how to repair it and those medications only contribute to further killing the immune system and suppress it rather than building it. You obviously already understand the danger in taking Humira and made a smart decision there... I have never had RA but did have Osteoarthritis along with Fibromyalgia (FMS) and was totally miserable for years until I met Dr. Garland and found amazing healing and relief.
 
From personal experience; my arthritic nodules disappeared within the year and the pain from both arthritis and FMS subsided in just days after starting his protocol for my fibromyalgia and arthritis. I had not yet truly developed into RA but had horrific nodules on my finger joints that went away after treating naturally and now more than fifteen years later have not reappeared...
 
I can only tell you what is working with our RA patients and you can try it for at least three months before you will be able to truly know if it is working for you. 99% of our people go with the following program. Some have to go further but Dr. Garland monitors the results as we go along to help decide what needs to be changed, if anything. The RA protocol is very extensive but truly heals not just masking symptoms while killing the rest of the body from chemical drugs!
 
Here is Dr. Garland's protocol for RA;
 
*LIFE TRANSFUSION LIQUID MINERALS. A must for balancing the systems?
Week One: 1/2 teaspoon morning, noon and around 4PM (with juice of your choice as it tastes terrible)
Week Two: 3/4 teaspoon morning and noon and 1/2 teaspoon around 4PM.
Week three and thereafter: 1 teaspoon morning and noon and 3/4 teaspoon around 4 PM.
 
*PROBIOTIC DIGESTIVE ENZYMES: A necessity since 80% of the immune system reside in the stomach and intestines and requires balancing natural flora and enzymes to help heal the immune system. Take 1 at the beginning of each meal and 2 at bedtime on an empty stomach for the first month then will discuss the amount after that month.
 
*IMMUNE SUPPORT FORMULA. To regulate the immune system. RA is an immune system failure of a very large magnitude and requires rebuilding to help reverse RA. Take 6 caps a day - two 3X a day.
 
*SHARK LIVER OIL GELCAPS. This supports the Immune Formula and helps heal and repair. Take 3 gelcaps 3X a day.
 
*STRUCTURAL LUBRICATION FORMULA. This is vital to reduce inflammation and pain. Take caps three 3X a day with meals.
 
*INDOL-3C CARBINOL. This to repair and rebuild the immune system counteracting autoimmune diseases... Take 3 capsules 3 times a day with meals for the first month then decrease to 2 capsules three times a day with meals for the next month and then decide if needs decreasing after that.
 
*LIQUID CALCIUM FORMULA. (Without herbs) This assists the Structural Lubrication Formula, take two teaspoons daily.
 
*IONIC SILVER WATER: The ultimate bacteria/virus/fungal killing alternative. Since RA patients are usually alive with Candida/yeast because the immune system is so dead it will take a couple of months of Ionic Silver Water to work with the Probiotic Digestive Enzyme formula to bring it into balance. 2 Tablespoons first thing in the morning and again just before bedtime for at least six weeks.
 
 
AVENA IMMUNE SOUP (not one of our products) This is the most potent formula we offer for deeply rebuilding the immune system. This combination of herbs and mushrooms stimulates production of various immune cells in the bone marrow, increases red blood cell production, improves overall energy levels and helps the body adapt to various types of stress. These dried herbs come with directions for cooking for 8 hours and freezing into ice cube trays. Dose: one ice cube per day. 12 oz. bag (4-6 week supply) $39.00 To order call 866-282-8362 and ask for IMMUNE SOUP.
 
 *EXERCISE is vital. Probably as vital as any single formula recommended. Try to find a Pilates course nearby, this works wonders on other patients along with the 45 minute "Magic Threshold" of walking, biking or very light jogging/walking on one minute alternate intervals.
 
*SUNLIGHT. Is a vital part of the program? 20 minutes a day of direct sunlight on as much of the naked body as possible.
 
*NO DAIRY. This robs the bones of Calcium (Yes, I know the dairy industry says otherwise, but they are WRONG) and kills the immune system further. Also increases inflammation. Replace dairy products with Soy, soy, soy.
 
 
*VEGAN DIET is the most effective diet for the immune system.  For faster results and healing - Get the PASSIONATE VEGETARIAN book from Amazon and eat from this instead of eating animal proteins.
 
*WATER, WATER, WATER. The bones are mostly fluid and need to be flushed of impurities. Keep them hydrated with one gallon of pure filtered water with 1 to 2 mineral drops added to each glass of water. In particular, drink at night, when you wake up, replenishing the cells a key to removing impurities from joints?
 
*COFFEE ENEMA: This for pain and flushing the liver and kidneys. Once a week for the first two or three weeks?
 
FOR FASTER RESULTS & BETTER HEALING: Stop all prescription drugs upon beginning this protocol. Stop any or all supplements other than a meganutrient multivitamin or ones listed in this protocol - upon beginning RA protocol? Herbs and drugs will not function together as they do the opposite of each other... Prednisone will require slow withdrawal and Lena will help you with that so call her 928-636-9425 for instructions and follow up.

God Bless
Dr. G

Save Cash and Calories

Instead of pouring a large amount of salad dressing on your salad, pour a tablespoon at a time on a plate next to your salad. Dip your fork in the dressing and then into your salad. This may sound like it won't be enough dressing, but you'll be pleasantly surprised!

CAN YOU SAY, "AWE"?

Albert Einstein said that wonder is the source of all true art and all science. "He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes
are closed."

I remember standing in rapt awe when I gazed upon the wonders of the ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru. That amazing city was built above the clouds, and it was more than the high altitude that took my breath away. Can you say, "Awe"?

I'm reminded of the little girl who rode a train with her mother. Looking out the window, she exclaimed, "Look! A horse!" And a moment later, "Look! Houses!"

She gave every indication of keeping this up, so her embarrassed mother apologized to the man next to her. "I'm sorry my daughter is going on like this," she said. "She still thinks everything is  wonderful."

When do we stop thinking everything is wonderful? When we grow up? When do we stop saying, "Awe"? Does growing older mean growing jaded?

And must we travel to faraway places to marvel once again? Can't we experience wonder and awe today - this moment?

The slice of raisin toast I ate this morning was no less marvelous today than when I first tasted it. But I did not notice how good it really was. I think that few things are commonplace in themselves - it's our reaction to them that grows dull over the years.

A man on his way to lunch happened to notice a visitor in Venice's Piazza San Marco standing among the pigeons and gazing in apparent rhapsody at the Doge's Palace. After his meal he noticed the same man still studying the magnificent structure. Curious as to whether he'd been standing there all morning, he asked the man, "How long have you been here?"

"Twenty six years," came the reply, "and I never grow tired of it."

As Einstein observed, those who will "pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe" will TRULY LIVE. They will see what others miss. They will feel what others cannot. Life will be for them both exquisite and mysterious when they learn to say, "Awe."
