We have now discussed the three main categories of arthritis—gouty, rheumatoid and osteo. These three types combined include 95 per cent, of all victims of arthritis. Your case probably falls into one of those three classifications.
In addition, however, your arthritis may be complicated because you are also a victim of other rheumatic ailments at the same time. Therefore, let us examine several of the most common rheumatic conditions which are closely related to arthritis. We should understand these, too.
BURSITIS. When you develop pain in your shoulder muscles and calcium is forming in the bursae (the pouch or sac), the bursae have run out of oil. You are eating wrongly, or are over-exercising. You have bursitis.
NEURITIS. If the oil sheath which covers your nerves dries out, you have neuritis. Another way of saying it would be “rheumatism in your nerves.” Oils in your food are supposed to keep the nerve coatings intact. But only certain kinds of oil can perform the task.
Years ago, neuritis was known as neuralgia. Sciatic neuritis generally means that the oil has been stripped from over the sciatic nerve.
MYOSITIS. Working hard means that you tax many muscles in your body. When muscles have no oil to lubricate them, friction occurs in the muscles. You then acquire myositis.
INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM. Inflammatory rheumatism or rheumatic fever often strikes children. But what made the body or heart susceptible? We maintain that improper diet is one cause, faulty eating habits even at an early age.
FIBROSITIS. When your connective tissue or fibres become inflamed, you have “fibrositis.” Some experts claim this ailment is of mental origin. We suggest checking your diet, for a general lack of oils.
LUMBAGO. Often, lumbago (sacroiliac strain) is a forerunner of arthritis in the spinal column. Our body is warning us that we cannot run our motors without oil. We dry out and squeak on for years. Then what do we do? We apply mustard plasters or force ourselves to undergo X-ray treatments. Back stiffness means that your tissue fluids me gelling. Eat more oil-bearing foods.
Compare Your Body to an Automobile
In the paragraph above we stated that we “can’t 1 mi our motors without oil.” This applies to the “bodily motor” just as well as to the machinery in the family car. As you probably noticed, when we discussed each type of arthritis and all the rheumatic ailments, we kept mentioning the need for oil to aid recovery. To prove our point and make (his fact completely clear, let’s compare our human body to an automobile. We will find some very interesting parallels…
Your car has “joints” too. Its smooth functioning depends upon a constant supply of lubricating oils to prevent friction. Once the oil has run dry in your automobile, a grinding effect sets in and the parts cannot possibly function without damage.
With “dry joints” after 20,000 miles of driving, the bearings of the car and the fittings become “frayed” and worn out. No amount of grease or sprayed oil can ever repair the broken part. Adding oil at this late date will stop the friction. But the end of the joint will remain worn down.
When you take your automobile to a garage to be lubricated you are asking the garage attendant to “remove the arthritis” from your car. With grease and oil of varying consistencies, he can take away the joint friction from your squeaking vehicle.
By the same token joints of the human body are dependent upon the joint lining and the bloodstream for a constant supply of lubricating materials. Without obtaining oils from your daily diet, your joints will degenerate and break down.
It will be helpful for arthritics to know exactly what types of joints are involved in the disease. Here are the four main categories found in our bodies:
The ball-and-socket joint. A smooth, rounded head of bone fits into a cup-like socket of another bone, permitting motion in all directions. The shoulder and hips are examples of this type.
The saddle joint. Here the bones move in two directions. The spinal vertebrae are in this category.
The rotary joint. These can rotate about an axis, like a key in a door. The elbow is one rotary joint.
The hinge joint. This type moves in only one direction, like those in your knees.
Regardless of the type of joint, they are ALL surrounded by linings which will accept nutritional oils!

What is genetics?
Genetics is the branch of medicine that deals with heredity, or the characteristics that we get from our parents and other ancestors. Certain characteristics, both favorable and unfavorable, are passed down from generation to generation through the code in our genes called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
As with all diseases, it is important to determine whether RA is inherited. This would allow doctors to predict which family members would likely get RA based on the present genes.

Is RA inherited?
Rheumatoid arthritis is not a classically inherited disease, so we cannot predict who will get the disease. There is, however, an association- although a slight one-between a certain set of genes found on chromosome number 6, or the immune response chromosome, and those who get this chronic disease.

What Is HLA?
HLA stands for human lymphocyte antigens. These are molecules that are unique to each person and are found on the surface of one’s cells. This is how the body distinguishes self from non-self. HLA is also called the major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
Scientists have been looking for a genetic link to rheumatoid arthritis for years, and the obvious place to look was at the genes on the number 6 chromosome-the genes that control the immune response.

Actually, there is no miracle cure for arthritis! As a matter of fact, there is no specific, singular curative therapy for arthritis. No specific treatment, no specific diet, no specific bath possesses curative properties which can cure arthritis. The cure is accomplished by the healing power inherent in the body itself. The biological treatments only release and actively support this healing power, creating the most favorable conditions for repair, rebuilding, and re-establishment of health.

As I studied the actual cases, interviewed the patients, and observed the various biological treatments used to bring about these remarkable recoveries, I could not help but think that the miracle is not in the fact that these patients are cured, but that these biological methods, which can accomplish such extraordinary results, and which are so widely used in Europe, are virtually unknown in the United States!

This to me is a real miracle: That millions of arthritis sufferers in the U.S.A., hopeless and disillusioned in their despair, have never heard that such methods exist. They are in complete ignorance of the great developments which are now taking place in biological medicine.

It is a miracle, indeed, that the biological methods described in this book are unknown to the public in this country and that 13 million American arthritis sufferers are pacified by repeated, paid commercials which say, “There is no cure for arthritis”!

This study of 48 persons afflicted with arthritis followed a model prepared by the San Diego Clinic Immunological Centre (SDC). It was not a double blind study. It would not meet the criteria of a formal medical trial conducted for publication by some premier medical journal. But then, that was not its intent.

The objectives of our study were primarily to determine if different types and severities of arthritis would require different dosages. In addition to the information gained directly at SDC, data were compiled from reports from several trusted professional sources that had no vested interest in the results. Data were also received from other medical clinics, medical doctors, osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists, and other types of health care practitioners.

“Only about 15 percent of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence … This is partly because only one percent of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound …” That’s quite an admission for a man in his position.
