Question
I am a 48 year old female diangosed with sero-negative ankylosing spondylitis and discoid lupus. Finally diagnosed correctly last year,after I persisted seeing one specialist after another. For most of my life I have suffered with neck pain,and lower lumbosacral pain. I learned to live with it and shrug it off. When the episodes of excrutiating burning pain began up my spine and down my legs I knew something was terribly wrong. I also developed anxiety,depression,and panic attacks over the years.Me who used to be a happy,healthy,vibrant go getter has turned into a reclusive,dealing with chronic and acute pain everyday!!! I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia,musculoskeletal syndrome,facet arthropathy,djd,I think that's pretty much everything.Finally,GOD answered my prayers and I found the right Dr. with the right diagnosis,now I need the right treatment. I am currently taking sulfazine 500 mg two pills two times a day as "religiously" as I have been able to afford along with Neurontin 300 mg two times a day,Naproxen as directed,Xanax,Flexeril,Percocet and a multivitamin. I kept telling the doctors who tried to blame everything on depression and grief that I knew I had an underyling condition that was causing the depression,not vice-versa. Anyway,here is my question can this thing be cured? It has ruined the quality of my life!!! I find myself losing the will to live.Please help! I don't know if trigger point and shots in the facet of my spine with injectable steroids would help. I never wanted to try the oral steroids because of all the side effects,especially weight gain.My weight is already 200 Lbs.and I am only 5'1. The pain specialist I could only afford to see once told me to keep my weight down for the sake of my back I have'nt been able to. He diagnosed the facet arthropathy,and doesn't know a rhuematologist diagnosed it as ankylosing spondylitis.What do you recommend I am sick of conventional approaches. I pray holistic medicine can help me. Thank You,Diana in N.M.

Answer
Dear Diana,

Thank you for writing. Firstly, forgive the delay, i notice your sent the question on the 21st...  i wonder why it took so long to get to me. Today is the 26th.

Better late than never i guess.

Your illnesses are rooted in an auto immune imbalance. An immune system that is malfunctioning it itself and is therefore not able to address the underlying cause of the imbalance.

The depression you feel is the result of suffering. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. It is never the other way around. The depression is normal, and it will pass as you start to get better.

The prescriptions you are taking will do nothing more than to control symptoms. You however need to heal the condition itself, and dissolve the illness, not cut off the symptoms your body is warning you with. Therefore it is time to take a different approach.

To begin with stop taking the multi vitamins altogether. The tablet versions are synthetic and will harm more than help. They also contain iron. This can lead to iron overloads after years of taking them.

You asked if the condition can be cured. Well, the original state of the body is good health. Therefore if one gets sick, one can get well once more. That is how it is.

Based on your condition, what you would need to do is use a good zapper on a daily basis, and combine this with a nutritional product that is high in antioxidants. This protocol is very effective. I have added dietary advice below as well.

Supplement: http://www.tryfrutavida.com/main
An excellent product: Recommend taking 3 ounces daily.
1 ounce three times a day on an empty stomach.

Very important; start with only 1 ounce for the first week. Do not exceed this.
The product is potent, and it is better to gradually increase. Take 2 ounces on the second
week, and increase to 3 ounces by the third week. Continue with 3, do not exceed this.
Although it is a natural product, it contains minerals, vitamins, immune strengthening
saponins and a lot of antioxidants. Therefore do not overdo it!

Zapper: http://zap.intergate.ca/
This is a better and more advanced zapper than most that are available today.

This combination is what will allow you to regenerate your immune functions and restore health back to your body.

You will also need to detoxify your blood and lymphatic system. For this, nutritional products are not needed. Simple sunflower oil will work wonders. Please research "oil pulling" on google, and begin with it immediately.

I have altered the oil pulling therapy slightly to improve results; Use regular sunflower oil; swish for 10 minutes. Spit out the toxic oil, and then take in another tablespoon of oil, and swish for another 10 minutes. Spit it out. Then brush your teeth and rinse your mouth well. When you spit the oil out, do so directly into the sink drain and flush with hot water.

Do not swish for 20 minutes straight as most people recommend, as the oil pulls up toxins and harmful microorganisms within 10 minutes. Therefore ten by two.

The rest of the details will be found by doing a search on Oil Pulling...this will give background on the therapy and so on.

It will be a good idea if you can start, slowly, reducing the dosages of the prescriptions you are taking, (follow recommendations on bottle, if any) until you are off them, while slowly increasing the dosage of the nutritional product to 3 ounces.

The panics and anxieties will begin to lessen as you start healing. The nutritional product will help here as well. You will need some energetic support though, in the form of subtle energy technologies to help get rid of all the emotional and stress related imbalances. I am currently doing some research for someone else who contacted me through allexperts for the same thing, so i will send you my results on that as soon as i can.

General recommendations:

Cut out all soy products, soy causes thyroid degradation. Cut out pasteurized milk, take only certified organic or raw milk.

Cut out all artificial sweeteners: splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra sweet, equal, spoonful, saccharin, acesulfame potassium, sorbitol, cyclamate, alitame. These sweeteners are toxic.

Make sure you read labels on all products before you purchase. Make sure you avoid everything that says "sugar free" on it.

Cut out the use of microwaves, they lower haemoglobin levels, deteriorate immune functions and produce high numbers of radiolytic compounds in foods. Replace your microwave with a nuwave oven when you can.

Avoid all hydrogenated oils, avoid margarine, canola, rapeseed, and soybean oil.

Replace with butter, ghee, unrefined coconut oil, sesame oil, and virgin olive oil.  

7-10 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold. Never drink tap water or distilled water. Remember, drink purified water only.

If you are using toothpaste that contain fluoride, please replace with a herbal toothpaste that is fluoride free.
If you have dental (mercury) amalgams---get them removed by a dentist who knows how to remove them.
Never agree to silver amalgams either, as they are 50% mercury. The dentist must provide a bio-agreeable material
as a filling.
