Arthritis Cure - for Rheumatoid Arthritis Sufferers and their Carers

There's every reason for rheumatoid arthritis sufferers to be optimistic and I believe that permanent remission i.e. 'cure' is already achievable through dietary and other lifesyle changes. Learn more about rheumatoid arthritis causes, treatments and potential cures as I share what I've experienced and learned from a four decade struggle with RA. (I've recently broadened the scope of my blog to include all chronic diseases since they share many of the same causes and drivers.)

Are You Sick and Tired of Rheumatoid Arthritis or Recently Diagnosed?

02-07-18 by Brian Darby

This short post is aimed at arthritis sufferers who have so far relied exclusively upon standard medical treatments for their disease and have yet to seek and remove the causes of their RA. This post is for those who want to gain some personal control over their rheumatoid arthritis and to stop being a slave to it.

I’m also writing this for those who’ve been recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis because I know how frightening that diagnosis can be when first presented. I’d like to tell you and reassure you that if you take the right steps at this early stage there is a very good chance that you can recover completely.

No matter where you are in terms of the severity of your disease and the damage it has already caused, with the right knowledge and lifestyle changes you can make significant improvements and you may even be able to put your disease into remission permanently (cure). The time to start making changes is now! Read more . . .

On a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet – What Can I Eat?

01-07-18 by Brian Darby

On a whole food plant-based diet you can eat almost every unprocessed whole plant food available on the planet for example; root vegetables, green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains, herbs, spices, legumes, nut and seed milks & yoghurts, fermented whole plant foods, and sprouted seeds, grains, and legumes etc.

The only things which are avoided on a whole food plant-based diet by definition are animal products and junk food. A whole food plant-based diet is also low in added oils, salt and sugar. Read more . . .

Ulcerative Colitis Cure Causes and Treatment with a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet

21-06-18 by Brian Darby

There’s a vast amount of information and evidence suggesting and often demonstrating that ulcerative colitis is caused by a disease promoting diet and lifestyle, and that it can be completely reversed and healed by switching to a health promoting diet and lifestyle.

If I had ulcerative colitis I would be very optimistic in my efforts to bring about full remission, based on everything I’ve learned about this disease. I’ll provide some of the reasons why below along with further resources and plenty of inspiration for those ulcerative colitis sufferers seeking a cure. Read more . . .

Dietary Fibre Benefits – Reduced Inflammation and Chronic Disease Prevention & Treatment

22-05-18 by Brian Darby

For rheumatoid arthritis and other chronic diseases preventing and reducing inflammation in the body is crucial and consuming dietary fibre from whole plant foods is extremely beneficial for this purpose. Whole plant food fibre directly reduces inflammation, acts as a prebiotic for beneficial bacteria within our guts, promotes the dominance of these beneficial bacteria, helps with the transit of waste material through our colon, and assists with the safe recycling of water and other nutrients from our stools.

We are fibre consuming creatures, we are setup to thrive on a high fibre whole food plant-based diet. For millions of years we ate food not only to feed ourselves but to support our colonies of beneficial gut bacteria. Our food was slowly absorbed throughout the length of our gut leaving plenty of soluble fibre and resistant starch left over to feed our friendly bacteria lower down in our large intestine. This protected our gut lining, created a strong immune system, and provided effective nutrient absorption and waste removal. Read more . . .

How Not to Die – Live Long and Prosper – and Avoid Chronic Diseases

13-04-18 by Brian Darby

I would urge everyone who is currently following the standard UK diet (SUK) or the standard American diet (SAD) along with their associated disease promoting lifestyles, to stop and give serious thought to whether you want to achieve your dreams and ambitions in life and ‘live’ until you die, or whether you want to continue dying at an accelerated rate as you are now because you believe the inevitable won’t happen to you. Most of the top fifteen leading causes of death and disability are largely the result of poor diet & lifestyle choices and subsequently prescribed drugs.

The secret to living long, prospering, and avoiding chronic diseases is relatively simple; eat a whole food plant-based diet low in added salt, oil and sugar, avoid (or at the very least minimise) all animal derived products, eat plenty of raw fresh produce (at least 25% or more of your diet if possible), get regular good quality sleep, do aerobic exercise, get some sunshine and try to enjoy life :-) Read more . . .
