ARTHRITIS

"He, who knows how to listen, hears wisdom.
He, who does not know how to listen, hears only noise."
Chinese saying.


Arthritis is a general term that is applied to over 100 rheumatic diseases. It affects the body's joints and symptoms are pain, stiffness, swelling and difficulty in moving one or more joints. Sometimes mobility is impaired. Nearly 40 million people in the U.S. have arthritis.

The Associated Press reported that in the U.S. in 2003, Americans spent 4 billion 400 million dollars on the 2 most popular arthritis drugs. Were they cured? No, there is no cure for arthritis. The drugs simply give you a few hours of relief from the pain. If inflammation persists, it can damage joints including cartilage.

Being stupid, isn't not knowing much, nor is it not wanting to know much.
Being stupid, is believing you know enough.
A.J. Daniel-novelist

Seniors are especially affected by rheumatic diseases. Over 50% of the 75+ population have some form of arthritis according to AARP.

This ain't yo mama's tea
 

Kombu. .  what, you might ask.
What is it?

It is an Oriental fermented tea remedy that can be traced back to 400 B.C. where it originated in what is known today as Korea. It is perfectly safe and is used today by 500 million people around the world. Emperors, Czars and even an American President have used the tea. The President in the 1980/s was being treated for Cancer and was having metastases (spreading of cancer cells). A culture was brought in from Japan and incorporated into his treatment. He survived and lived into his nineties.

It wasn't until 1993 that Kombucha was introduced to the American public. Today, over 3,000,000 Americans drink Kombucha on a regular basis.

What benefits can a person afflicted with arthritis reasonably expect from drinking properly prepared Kombucha tea?

The vitamin B3 produced in Kombucha opens up your blood vessels. Improved blood flow to arthritic joints promotes healing.

The first thing you might notice is an increase in energy level. The tea aids digestion making available the nutrients in your food more available. The bloodstream then delivers the nutrients to all parts of your body, hence more energy. Kombucha also is about the same pH as the acids and stomach juices so it has a balancing effect and results in less heartburn etc.

Kombucha is a living tea and contains friendly bacteria and beneficial yeasts (not to be confused with candida albicans). It nourishes colon flora which leads to a more healthy colon tract. Hippocrates is credited with the saying "death sits in our bowels". Most medical professionals would agree that a healthy digestive system is the first step in healing.

Blood pH that is more alkaline will tend to throw calcium out of solution. As the balance with calcium becomes more upset individuals will complain of insomnia, tenderness of the joint areas, leg cramps, rheumatic pain and swelling, stiffness upon rising and more proneness to allergy type symptoms and irritability.

The fermentation process produces a variety of substances from acetylcholine, which benefits the body's nervous system to choline, which normalizes blood pressure and prevents hypertension. It also produces cleansing, detoxifying and acidifying properties plus polyphenols and weak acids. Its Glucuronic Acid (GA) then binds toxins in the liver which are then expelled via urine. Toxins bound by GA cannot be reabsorbed by the intestines or the urinary system. GA is also a building block for connective tissue and cartilage (important for arthritis suffers) and stomach lining, vitreous humor of the eye and heparin. Regular detoxifying promotes healing.

All of these processes together lead to a stronger body which can then heal itself better since it is not distracted with fighting several conditions on different health fronts.

.Dr. E. Arauner confirmed that Kombucha is the "most effective natural folk remedy for fatigue, nervous tension, incipient signs of old age, hardening of the arteries, sluggishness of the bowels, gout, rheumatism, hemorrhoids and diabetes."

Some of the older references to the healing properties of Kombucha are:

1917 - Prof. Rudolf Kobert recalls that an "infallible cure for rheumatism" was prepared using the Kombucha culture.

1918 - Dr. R. Robert refers to Kombucha as an "unfailing remedy against joint rheumatism".

1928 - Dr. L Mollenda reported that the remedy was very effective for rheumatism and gout among other disorders.

If you are having severe pain you can soak the hand or foot in warm water with a fourth cup of aged Kombucha. For knees, back etc, mix a pint of aged Kombucha in a tub of warm bath water and soak for several minutes. The Kombucha is easily absorbed thru the skin and is very refreshing and beneficial.

Kombucha sometimes enhances the effectiveness of traditional medications and it is important to keep your health provider informed so dosage can be adjusted.

HERE IS WHAT SOME KOMBUCHA DRINKERS HAVE TO SAY:


Dan of IN reports: I have had arthritis in my hands since I was 6 years old and I am 42 now. I have been using Kombucha for about 6 months. I started noticing relief from the arthritis, as well as a general feeling of well being after about a week. You get a lift from the tea as soon as you drink it the first time.

Mike in CA wrote: I have been using/drinking Kombucha tea 3 weeks and my athlete's foot and acne have cleared up. My mom's arthritis is going away too. Amazing stuff.

Ernie in LA reports: I have Osteoarthritis in both knees and every time I stood up they popped and creaked. Stairs were difficult and we had to stop our evening walks all together. Three months after starting on Kombucha the popping and creaking stopped and we were able to resume our evening walks of about a mile each night. Two months later due to car trouble I had to walk 2 ˝ miles home. No after effects except the soles of my feet were sore. Talk about results and relief.

My rheumatic pains of the soft tissue have become noticeably less since taking the miracle drink, Kombucha. Frau West, Germany

Barbara said that before taking Kombucha she was on a walker with arthritis in both knees. Now I am running, no walker, no pain. I was in such pain before…I could hardly survive. What a miracle. No pills, no shots, no cortisone.

A great number of people in our tiny country have been cured of the greatest variety of metabolic diseases by Kombucha. Rheumatism patients told us that with Kombucha they could do away with wheelchairs or crutches and pain all healed. Frau R. W. the Netherlands

Gayle in GA shares this experience. I have a post-surgical arthritic condition in both knees due to knee surgery 20 years ago. I have friends who have never seen me walk without a limp until now. The day I discovered that I had gotten out of bed that morning and walked to the bathroom, I cried. I have torn up my handicap sticker for my car.

Dr. Wiesner reports a 92% success rate using Kombucha to treat his trial subjects with rheumatism. He noted that his patient's pain receded and that they could move limbs freely.

Marsha in CA adds, I have crippling arthritis and my fingers were starting to curl inward. After about 3 months on the tea my hands straightened out. I don't mean to say that the arthritis is cured. It's just that I can use my hands in a normal way.

Stan had painful arthritis in both knees and is 70 years old. He doesn't have the pain anymore. He also used to get tired in the afternoons, but doesn't anymore.

Mr. L: The tea is amazing. My 73 year old mother got rid of her rheumatic troubles within only a few weeks. In addition her sight has improved.

Mrs. K: I suffer from strong arthritis and am very pleased with the Kombucha results. I no longer need rheumatism medications.

Mrs. T. wrote: Kombucha has helped my arthritis. My writing hand is now no longer in pain.

Mr. W.R. writes: I contracted rheumatoid arthritis and was placed under the care of a specialist who put me on a severe pill program. I was introduced to Kombucha which I have been taking ever since. On my visit to the specialist blood tests were taken that indicated I was free of the arthritis. I had not taken any medicine in the last 3 months except for 2 tablets each evening.

Another enthusiast wrote: Since drinking the Kombucha my osteoarthritis has improved 50% at least. I can enjoy life again and my diverticulitis, ear infections, bowel problems have all improved greatly. I can exercise now and my joints don't swell.

My husband suffers from rheumatoid arthritis in his right knee and has had several operations on it in the last 5 years. The pain and swelling is still so great sometimes he can't walk or sleep. A friend gave us a Kombucha culture which I applied to his knee as a compress. For the first few minutes he had a sharp pain in the knee which gradually went away. He then experienced a soothing and cooling effect and the pain went away. The compress was left on and he had the best night's sleep he had had in months.

Kombucha by itself doesn't cure anything.
It simply nourishes at the cellular level so that your marvelous body can heal itself.


It costs only about $5 a month since you brew the tea yourself. About 1 or 2 hours a month is needed for the brewing and cleanup. It's also simple. If you can bake a Duncan Hines cake then you too can be a Master Brewmeister.

I grew up in Missouri and as Uncle Harry (Truman) would say, the buck stops here.  If you are willing to put forth a little effort there is no reason for you to continue to suffer.
