Dear Mr. Sless:
Attached is a letter I send to people who inquire as to what I take for arthritis. While I cannot say GH3 was the only medication that worked, it did contribute with no negative side effects. As for testifying, I am usually out of the country six months a year, so it would be difficult for me to do.
I wish you all the luck, knowing that it is an uphill battle I am all to familiar with. Don’t give up.
Sincerely,
James Coburn
Greetings:
In response to your letter regarding my battle with arthritis, let me say that I understand your desperation to solve this dilemma. I too went through the process of having the painful symptoms, not understanding what was happening to me, taking many trips to doctors trying to find out what was wrong. I found out I had rheumatoid arthritis. The doctors explained there was no cure, and that I just had to live with it and to continue taking the prescribed medication. Each time it grew more and more costly. The pills they gave me only superficially relieved the pain, and they did not remove the problem. Worse yet, my condition faltered, I began walking slower, and any kind of movement was tremendously painful. Frustrated with the process, I decided to take matters in my own hands.
I stopped all medication except for the occasional aspirin. I went through every possible avenue of health care: exotic, laying-on-hands healing, psychic healing, electromagnetic devices, all of which seemed to help to some degree. I then went on a 15-day fast, drinking fluids only, while every other day taking high-colonics. When I broke my fast eating a light salad, I had an immediate toxic reaction. The following day I had a blood test which revealed that I was allergic to 47 out of the 77 foods I was tested for. I went on a 90-day program eating only foods l was not allergic to, and at the same time, having deep tissue massages every day for 10 months. I started to work out again, with twists and stretches, and cardiovascular workouts. Gradually, my conditioned improved.
From what I’ve discovered, it seems to be genetically acquired. However, negative emotion, deep depression, etc., triggers this disease, and its insidious nature steals the calcium from the bones and deposits it in the muscles causing pain, lack of movement, stiffness, shortening of the tendons and ligaments, and eventual crippling. None of which was told to me the medical profession.
Today, I live a relatively pain free life. I continue to stretch and exercise, and carefully watch my diet. Most importantly, I avoid negative emotion.
Listed below are what I do or take when necessary:
Deep tissue massage
Acupuncture
Rhus – extract of poison ivy to reduce inflammation
Edagawa injections – saline solution to increase blood flow and breaks up muscle spasm.
GH3 – Procaine
Colon Therapy
Rolflng
Super-Nutrition High Potency Vitamins
Super C-Cake – High Potency Vitamin C
Multi-Mineral/Niacin supplements
Electromagnetic Therapy
Exercise
Homotoxocology – BHI
Progressive neuronmolecular facilitation “PNF” – resets muscles
Aspirin
Phenyl-aid
Most of the above has not been approved the FDA, but it is approved my body.
Each person needs his own individual approach to this disease in order to live with it. I chose these therapies through experimenting and finding out what works for me. I urge you not to give up, to try everything. Do consult a nutritionist and/or a doctor who practices in the holistic, naturopathic, homeopathic approach to medicine.
You must do the work yourself. It can be turned around. If any of this can help you, good luck.
Sincerely,
