Holistic Medicine For Treatment Of Arthritis
Holistic medicine for treatment of arthritis is becoming more and more popular.
Arthritis is a disease which causes inflammation of the joints. If left untreated joint damage, joint limitations and deformities can occur.
Holistic medicine for treatment of arthritis offers arthritis suffers lasting relief from pain and inflammation. The holistic medicine approach states that arthritis is a disease that results from multiple causes. Contributing to all forms of arthritis is a number of underlying imbalances with physical, mental and environmental factors.
Holistic medicine believes that the cause of arthritis develops from a combination of several causes. It is important to understand the factors that went into creating arthritis in each person to properly treat the disease.
Holistic medicine employs a battery of diagnostic tools such as physical examination, dietary assessment, emotional evaluation, and test for immune/digestive function to help build an individual picture of the patient’s condition. Holistic medicine physicians take the time to find the root cause of arthritis and the patient is actively involved with their treatment.
Holistic medicine for the treatment of arthritis draws upon a wide range of therapies to help treat and possibly prevent arthritis.
The primary factors to this treatment is through Chinese herbal medicine, proper diet and nutrition, stress reduction, detoxification and the repair of nerves and muscles with the use of acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage and exercise.
The belief of the Chinese medicine is that disease occurs when obstructions impede the flow of energy to the organs. Chinese herbs are used to restore energy and function to the system so that balance and health can be achieved. With holistic medicine it is also believed that diet and nutrition has a significant impact on pain and inflammation.
A vegetarian diet is believed to greatly reduce arthritis symptoms. Herbs, minerals, vitamins and other natural supplements can provide effective relief without the side effects of conventional drugs. Mind and body techniques such as meditation can also help to reduce stress. The removal of toxins in the body has also shown to be remarkably therapeutic for arthritis patients.
Holistic medicine for treatment of arthritis helps to restore health to the whole patient, rather than simply providing superficial symptom relief. With holistic medicine the tests to detect any imbalance will focus on a physical and emotional evaluation, dietary assessment, immune response, and digestive and detoxification function.

Sorry Garry, but your assumption could lead to witch hunt.
"She provides very good advice, and is honestly against quackery in all forms".
If this is the case, she is not a naturopathic doctor at all. In your previous answers virtually anything performed by licensed naturopath was a quackery in one form or another.

There maybe is some very well hiden conspiracy after all.

She’s not an MD – you can rule that out.
Everytime you post something, your mind is on parade for all the world to see.

Its a shame someones glutes are on their shoulders.
This person, ( whose identity should be known to people familiar to the alternative medicine forum ), is, like most of the self-proclaimed alt med sceptics here, simply providing a referral to conventional treatments, NOTHING more. Identifying oneself as a practitioner in this field ( and then suggesting to patients to undergo orthodox medical care ) seems suggestive of a professional sleight of hand, deliberately deceptive. For a person to recommend treatment based on scientific proof ( and we know how slanted and ethically compromised such studies tend to be ) while touting themselves as a natural practitioner is emblematic of the smoke and mirrors so pervasive in this and other forums.
Edit- Gary Y – Regarding the self-identified natural practitioner, it appears Aristo has caught you with your p***s down, forcing you to indulge in some major backpeddling. Either the practice is quackery or its not, which is it? And this is how you explain the flip-flop? I’m surprised you did not refer to those who noticed the discrepancy as conspiracy theorists.
#2 – Gary Y – You will be on the lookout for this person promoting homeopathy or whatnot, ready to attack them, lol ! The jig is up, sunshine.
#3- Gary Y- Stay on topic? I agree absolutely. Alright, so you are trying to say that naturapathy is complete quackery half the time, and valid therapy the other half ( scratching head ) ? Gary my sceptic friend, pretend to the end.

I wonder how much big pharma pays her to spy on actual good naturopaths and other alternative practitioners and steer them away from natural cures, just to make them go into that "death machine" called chemotherapy so that her and her big pharma poison sellers can get rich!
The skepdicks have sunk really low with this.
