| Aching legs, backache, arthritis - could it be a food? |

'I can't believe simple staple foods were a strong factor in my years of rheumatoid arthritis. My new diet means I have reduced my medication to almost nil. I'm not completely pain-free but every week I can do more and more.
'I still don't understand why my doctors didn't suggest food intolerance. Don't they get it? My heartfelt thanks for this precious information and support.' Monica M. (UK.)
Thankyou Monica for your kind words – our reward comes from knowing you have found relief at last! Deborah
Suffering with chronic aches and pains? This week we bring you links to medical journals* that show how Gluten (in Wheat and other grains) and Dairy foods can cause rheumatoid arthritis.
This is a major wake-up call to investigate whether you have a food intolerance. Rheumatoid arthritis can improve, even dramatically, when you identify your food intolerance and eat correctly for it.
It's simple. If some food is causing your rheumatoid - then remove the cause and get well again - no drugs and no treatments.
You never suspect these foods
Basically if you have a food intolerance (but don't know) and you keep on eating the wrong foods - your body suffers stress. Even if you don't seem to get symptoms.
Without realising, you keep eating those foods - and your body continues to try and compensate for years and even decades. Then at some point, the body weakens. It just stops being so 'tolerant'.
Research shows (see Ref. 1-4 below) that untreated intolerances can cause rheumatoid arthritis. (Aren't we are always hearing about people who get arthritis seemingly 'out of the blue'?) The sudden onset of rheumatoid arthritis may be because we have ignored our food intolerances, or never thought to investigate them.
But with the right diet you can prevent the onset! And with the right diet it has been shown that even those with full blown cases can actually get well again.
Yes, you can do it alone if you like - but will you know what to do and what to eat? Join The Tuesday Club and we guarantee you'll get accurate results, knowledge and caring support.
Healing your amazing human body
The four main food intolerances are: Gluten, Dairy, Fructose and Yeasts. And up to 75% of all people are sensitive to one or another. But keep in mind, the amazing human body has an enormous capacity to heal itself - if given a chance.
What does this mean for you? Well . . . if you have any chronic symptoms you may be at risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis or other serious diseases.
But when you identify your food intolerance and start eating correctly you dramatically reduce those risks.
Or, similarly if you already have Rheumatoid arthritis you may be able to minimise or reverse its effects. Three in four people have food intolerance. How do you find out yours?
No drugs are needed, no special products and no therapies. The BEST way is to use a purpose-designed journal like the Detection Diet Journal in The Tuesday Club. It is a modern version of the proven Elimination Diet but much simpler and more effective.
Food intolerance can be so damaging if left unattended. But on the other hand - it is so easily treated! Investigating your food intolerance is therefore simple disease prevention, isn't it?
Scientific data on Gluten and Dairy
Most dairy corporations want us to eat three serves of Dairy every day. (That's twenty one serves a week!) They say it is for our own good.
But for those of us with undiagnosed Dairy intolerance it could be very poor advice indeed. Even aside from lactose intolerance - casein (milk protein)* is implicated in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. The same goes for Gluten – found in wheat and other grains.
The process is called molecular mimicry. These proteins break down into fragments which are very similar to bodily proteins – they seem to 'mimic' some of the body's own proteins. This sets the immune system on 'alert' and antibodies are sent out to fight the imaginary invader.
Things get confused and the antibodies attack the human tissue instead of attacking the casein or Gluten. The body 'turns on itself'. The result can be ulcers, or inflammatory diseases like arthritis, or thyroiditis . . or other autoimmune diseases.
Regarding cancers: well established research (Ref. 4) reports malignant cancers in the small intestine in Gluten sensitive people occurring at more than 80 times the normal rate.
The most common site for cancers in these people was the small intestine - the site that gets physically damaged by Gluten. More on Gluten
This highlights why it's essential to address your symptoms and identify your food intolerance early by doing an Elimination Diet as soon as possible.
But the marketing of dairy products and wheat-based products has worked so well on us for so long that we cannot imagine life without them.
Could this be a solution hiding in plain view?
It's a genetic condition
There are strong genetic issues at work here. Many of us have ancestry that is not adapted for "modern" foods like Dairy, Gluten, sugars and Yeasts.
That means we simply don't have the right genetic material to produce the required enzymes in digestion.
So these foods are only partly digested - or worse, cause damage to the gut. And our bodies suffer. But finding your food intolerance will reduce that risk and put you on a path to much better health.
It's easy! All you need is an Elimination Diet and a purpose-designed journal like the brilliant Detection Diet Journal. (Guaranteed to find your food intolerance or your money will be refunded.)
