Sunday Dec 16, 2018
- Frank had lots of pain - back, knees, shoulder and so on - to the point that it took him 20 minutes to get out of bed
- He went to the hospital and had a very high level of inflammation
- After his rheumatologist told him there was nothing to do, he started searching the internet and found the Paddison Program
- He started the Program 5 months ago and results came in very fast
- He was on diclofenac and prednisone (and later sulfasalazine), which made analyzing the results very difficult, so he began taking less drugs
- Then his rheumatologist told him to stop drugs completely because they were damaging red and white blood cells
- After 3 weeks he went back to the rheumatologist, and she told him the RA diagnosis must be wrong!
- She couldn't believe the change in diet and lifestyle could have such a tremendous impact on RA
- Now Frank is drug free and feeling great again

- Inflammation is the enemy because it creates more inflammation via a vicious cycle.
- It's not about having a mindset of avoiding medications at all costs but we must keep our inflammation low.
- Disease-modifying drugs and the biologic drugs when administered correctly, carefully, thoughtfully for the right symptoms normally provide far more benefits to a long-term healing plant then they do negative side effects.
- Medications, diet, exercise, stress reduction and supplements are 5 major tools in reversing RA.
