Diet to Stop the Onset of Arthritis
| < Back to Prolotherapy Article Index |
A common condition plaguing many Americans is arthritis. The pain caused by arthritis can interfere with many aspects of a person’s life. We recently saw a young man whose mother has Rheumatoid Arthritis. Around the age of 21 this patient, John, started to have wrist pain. At age 31 his low back began to have pain, and now at the age of 33 he was still having wrist, and low back pain plus new pains in both of his elbows. Afraid that he was developing rheumatoid arthritis like his mother, he came to see us for Prolotherapy to heal his joint pain.
What John didn’t know was that joint pain, especially from rheumatoid arthritis, can be healed and managed by diet. During his first visit with Dr. Hauser John asked about Prolotherapy for his joint pain. However after listening to John’s family history and explanation of his pain, Dr. Hauser suggested that John go the diet route instead of the Prolo route. While John was a bit skeptical about changing his diet, he decided to give it a go. Along with the Hauser Diet Typing Dr. Hauser ordered an Arthritis Panel to check for any indication that John had or was developing arthritis.
Once all of John’s test results were back he cam in for a follow-up with Dr. Hauser and his first nutrition visit. His Arthritis Panel showed that he was negative for Rheumatoid Arthritis but that he was producing some level of antibodies. Dr. Hauser told John that if he had not caught this antibody production now that eventually his body would have started producing antibodies against his joints. So the plan for John was to follow his Diet Type – which was the Giraffe Diet – and to avoid all of his food allergies with the goal of decreasing his body’s total production of antibodies.
John was determined to follow the diet and see what happens. The Giraffe Diet was similar to the diet he was already eating, but the food allergies would be a big change for him. After his nutrition consult John was ready to get started. As he begins his new diet, we will keep sending you updates on John’s progress.
Many patients will come to see us at Caring Medical in hopes of getting Prolotherapy to relieve their pain. While most are able to benefit from Prolo alone, some will need to consider their overall health. A visit with Dr. Hauser is always the best way to start, no matter what the problem is. Patients can always be assured that Dr. Hauser will look at the big picture and let them know the best option for their treatment. Are you ready to get started? Give us a call today!
