Finding the Root Cause, Not the Prescription Band-Aid

Story:

My problems began two years ago when I woke in the morning with extremely stiff fingers, toes and ankles. I could barely move for several hours upon waking. The weeks went by and the stiffness turned into sharp nerve pain in my fingers when touching the joint. It felt like pins and needles, but worse! I visited my doctor and he ran the typical blood work that includes the RF factor and ANA tests. They turned up negative. I went to a specialist and he could not find any "medical" cause for my problem. He suggested steroids to reduce the pain and stiffness. I said "no thank you" and left the office with a mission.

Upon many hours of research I found that I was most likely suffering from an essential fatty acid deficiency and mineral deficiency. I began taking 6 EFA tablets a day, 800 iu of vitamin E and a calcium mineral formula twice a day. I also visit the infared sauna at the gym three times a week to sweat out toxins. I also try to eat a clean diet of mostly organic foods. Today I am free of pain...COMPLETELY and I feel better than I ever have. Remember folks, when the doctor says "We don't know what is wrong, but we can put a band-aid on it with drugs", you tell them no thanks and seek the root cause of the problem. Nobody has ever developed a problem because of a deficiency of a prescription drug! The problem you are experiencing is a result of your bodies cry for the nutirients it lacks.
