Gerd,
the man who used to
have Rheumatoid Arthritis
Ross Hauser, M.D.
Gerd came to
Caring
Medical with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. He was
taking up to 1600mg of Ibuprofen per day and Azulfidine. He was put on
Azulfidine after visiting the
Mayo Clinic to try and get his Rheumatoid
Arthritis under control, but it didn’t work. His energy level was terrible.
"Doc, something has to be done. I can barely move in the mornings and feel
horrible all day." He was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 1981, but
only recently had it gotten out of control.
On physical examination, his
joints were hot and swollen. Gerd was put through the
Diet Typing program. Not much else needed to be checked because he
brought a lot of test results which showed his ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation
rate) was 119. Other tests showed that he had leaky gut, candidiasis and
rhodotorula infection, as well as various bacterial infections, a moderate
brewer’s yeast
food allergy, anemia, and amino acid deficiencies. In summary,
the ESR showed that Gerd had severe
systemic inflammation, despite the high
amount of anti-inflammatories he was taking. The most likely cause was his
various types of infections. He was placed on an
antibiotic and antifungal
medication, and received ozone therapy and vitamin B12/Iron/Folate shots.
On 1/6/99 his rheumatoid factor
titers were 1:640, and his ESR was 53. He was encouraged to continue the same
regime which included a lot of cod liver oil and the vegetarian diet that his
metabolic typing testing results showed. On 2/1/99 his ESR was down to 21 and
his rheumatoid factor was still positive. By 3/15/99 his ESR was at 16
(essentially normal) and his rheumatoid factor was negative! Gerd could not
believe it, so he made us re-test it on 4/12/99 and again it was negative.
People with Rheumatoid Arthritis
have no idea that they can become rheumatoid factor negative. Rheumatoid factor
is an IgG antibody that attacks the joints. The cure for Rheumatoid Arthritis
sometimes occurs when the person’s body doesn’t have to produce so many IgG
antibodies as occurred with Gerd. Antibodies are like torpedoes. The body makes
them to attack or fight something, as in an infection or an allergy. Remove the
allergen, or kill the infection (with medications or herbs) and wallah, no more
Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Remember when modern medicine says,
"We’ll switch you to this medications," or "I don’t know what’s
wrong," or "We need to do surgery", or "Nothing more can be
done", that there is a place to get some of the best treatments from around
the world and that place is Caring Medical and Rehabilitation Services where The
Care of the Patient Begins with
Prolotherapy…we mean Caring!
