Dear Friends,
Happy Thanksgiving!!! This is a wonderful holiday that transcends secular religion and national boundaries and seems to include the best of everything. It is a time that we get together and share our bounty (no matter how meager or extravagant it might be) and count our blessings with those who are closest to us. And if you think about it, there are probably few meals prepared during the year with as much care and love as that which goes into the Thanksgiving Feast. May your Thanksgiving be blessed with love health and prosperity for you and those you love.
About a month or so ago the popular arthritis medicine, Vioxx was recalled due to its connection to increased heart attacks and strokes. And unless you have been living under a rock, you probably have been witness to the feeding frenzy of lawyers trying to grab up as many VICTIMS as possible to secure lawsuits against the company that created it.
I am not a basher of the practitioners of allopathic medicine, heaven knows, there have been occasions that I and my loved ones were very grateful for these dedicated professionals. But I keep a skeptical eye on the drugs that are prescribed by doctors who are under immense pressure from pharmaceutical companies. They’re representatives stream in and out of doctors’ offices on a daily/hourly basis, making the drugs so available and free (at first anyway). After all, you can’t fault a doctor whose patient doesn’t take responsibility for his/her own health. You’ve all known people who have that, “Fix me up Doc” attitude. And so is born, the “quick fix” solution and the over-prescribing of pharmaceuticals.
I wish to offer an informed solution to those of you with arthritis who wish to alleviate the painful condition in a healthful and balanced way, that will not jeopardize the rest of your body. It comes in the form of The Healing Path’s Arthritis Formula. Its ingredients are:
Wild Yam which has an anti-inflammatory affect on joints;
Yarrow which acts as liver toner to cleanse and flush out uric acid;
Devils Claw which has the ability to draw out toxins from deep in the tissues;
Echinacea which balances the immune system, preventing autoimmune response; Licorice stimulates adrenal glands and purges excess fluid from body;
Pau’d’arco puts the body in the defensive mode and aids in assimilation of nutrients; and finally
Alfalfa contains chlorophyll and fights infection, aids kidney function and purifies the blood.
Side effects of Arthritis Formula: improved lung function; increased purification of blood; improved function of adrenal glands as well as all functions of the excretory system and increased ability to fight cancer. So although it may take a couple weeks to notice improvement, this just means that it is working within the body’s parameters, it is not forcing the body to over-ride its natural functions. It can be taken safely for life improving not only your arthritis but also your holistic health.
P.S. If you wish to know how The Healing Path tinctures are made, I invite you to read, “Preparation of Tinctures” the February 2004 Newsletter on my website included below.
May your days be blessed.
Love and Light, Lori
