THE PROGRAM OF SUCCESSFUL BIOLOGICAL TREATMENTS

It is self-evident that the only measures that can be successful in correcting arthritis, bringing it under control and accomplishing a lasting cure, must be ones which are directed at correcting its underlying causes. Prolonged use of drugs, even such “simple” drugs as aspirin, will eventually suppress and break down the body’s own defensive and healing mechanisms and cause severe chemical and hormonal imbalance. The disease will then be pushed further and further toward a condition where it will be completely incurable.

Therefore, in order to obtain lasting results the total withdrawal of all drugs is imperative.

Biological treatments are directed at:

Eradication and correction of abnormal and health-destroying conditions which have led to the development of the disease.

Assisting the body’s own healing forces in normalizing all the metabolic processes; establishing biochemical stability; cleansing the body of accumulated toxins and wastes; strengthening the functions of all the vital organs; revitalizing glandular activity and achieving a hormonal balance—or, in sum total, rebuilding and strengthening the general health of the patient.

When the causative factors are thus eliminated and the body is strengthened and revitalized by proper dietetic, physiotherapeutic and other biological measures, then the organism’s own curative powers are given a chance to take over and bring about the actual cure.

Therapeutic fasting

Almost without exception the treatment of arthritic patients in European biological clinics begins with fasting. Fasting is the one most important curative measure in the treatment of arthritis.

I wish to add here that most clinics employ repeated juice fasts for patients with arthritis; for example, one week of fasting followed by one week on a special diet, then a two-week long fast followed by two weeks of dieting, and so on. At the famous Buchinger Clinic in Germany, the usual length of fasting is 14 to 21 days. The longest recommended fast for therapeutic purposes is 40 days.
