Hello to all Healthy Living Lovers and a very warm welcome to my new blog on how to cure Autoimmune Diseases Naturally!
My name is Graham and originally from Bournemouth in the South of England, but now living in Southern Spain in the very beautiful Alpujarra in a cortijo (farmhouse) with my lovely wife Rasa who was born in Lithuania.
DISCOVER how to enjoy a healthy life again (or even for the first time), lose weight, rid yourself of PsA, Diabetes, Lupus and most of the other evil autoimmune diseases.
The choice is yours!
I think as we get older we become more concerned about our health and seek ways to stay/become more healthy in our old age.
Over the last few years I found that I was beginning to get more aches and pains, joint stiffness, joint pain, brain fog etc.
I have recently been diagnosed with Psoriatic arthritis which is very similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis, I’m sure most people are aware, an autoimmune disease and said to be incurable. But I have just come across this awesome book
“How Not to DIE!” penned by Michael Greger MD. which explains exactly how, with a plant based diet, you are able to cure yourself of most autoimmune problems.
I might add that all proceeds of Michael’s books go to charity and his website nutritionfacts.org is totally charity driven. Michael has made thousands of video on just about every health subject.
ABOUT MICHAEL GREGER, M.D. FACLM
So this is my basis and the reason for writing this blog.
We have started the plant based diet in the hope that I clear my rheumatoid arthritis from my body and will be able to live a healthy and fit life ‘til the end of my days and being able to do all the things I still want to do in life. Pain becomes very debilitating.
When we are younger, I don’t think many value life so much or even think about it and it is not until we become older that we really start to value that which we have or that which we don’t have anymore…. Rasa and I have decided that if we are going to live for many more years, WE WANT TO BE HEALTHY AND FIT.
Over the last few years
I have been doing much research on supplements and their uses and the way in which they interact with our bodies. Our biggest problem is that we are so used to eating the wrong foods and which cause us to have a very bad microbiome in our GUT, which you may or may not know is known as our second brain, and I am beginning to believe it is probably even our first brain. It totally controls our body AND our brain.
Everyday new studies emerge about the role gut microbiome – sometimes simply called biome or flora – plays in our health. The human gut microbiome and its role in both health and disease has been the subject of extensive research, establishing its involvement in human metabolism, nutrition, physiology, and immune function. Imbalance of the normal gut microbiota have been linked with gastrointestinal conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and wider systemic manifestations of disease such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and many other autoimmune diseases.
I am a firm believer that there are plants in nature to cure virtually all our common ills. This has spurred me on to find a natural cure for these horrendous autoimmune diseases.
I am sure that you have heard many times that
“We are what we eat”
nothing could be more true as you will understand if you read this International Best Seller, “How not to Die” book which is available here How Not to Die
Another fantastic book, The Pegan Diet, I have recently been following and this book explains how “Food is Medicine” and this book really puts things in perspective….
So, start your journey back to a full and healthy life by kicking out the drugs from your medicine cupboard, I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed!
I wish you good luck and GOOD Health.
and if you would like Michael’s Cookbook… it makes life soooo much easier… 🙂
you can get it here The How not to die, Cook Book
In fact we are not only what we eat but also we are whatever our meat giving animals eat.
Think about it!
As such, our second brain needs looking after very carefully and requires all the bad bacteria, which most of us have, to be cleared out to start afresh.
This same regimen has also been known to clear cancer from very many people…….absolutely amazing.
The biggest challenge we face is then knowing with what to replace meat?
Hence the need for Michael’s cook book above.
Rheumatoid or Psoriatic Arthritis
When I was first diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis I was prescribed a plethora of drugs to use which scared the hell out of me, some of which were chemotherapy drugs!!
NO, I thought, not ready for that yet!
The problem is that once we start taking drugs we then have to take other drugs to counteract the bad effects of the first and so the cycle goes on eventually destroying our bodies, not healing them.
DRUGS are not the answer!
I took Prednisone for a few months to deal with my pain.
A VERY BAD MISTAKE.
The withdrawal symptoms for this drug are horrendous and the list endless. If you can avoid this drug, Please do at all costs. You can read here the comments made by hundreds of EX Prednisone users. https://comments.medicinenet.com/steroid_withdrawal/patient-comments-1479.htm
Autoimmune diseases:
For a list of OVER 100 Autoimmune diseases check here….
I will also be taking a serious look at this book “Hands off my food” by Dr. Sina McCullough
Heal Yourself & Harness Your Power
AND, my Rheumatoid Arthritis? Now gone…..
I spent a year or two trying many different formulations of Curcuma and Turmeric and contrary to their manufacturer’s pledges, THEY SIMPLY DID NOT WORK!
So after more than 12 months on a plant based diet things started to get better.. and now I am really happy to say “I AM PAIN FREE!” So much for drugs!
They may keep you alive, just, but they very seldom will CURE YOU!
Looking back I firmly believe that a flu jab here in Spain caused ALL my health problems for some years…
SO NEVER AGAIN A VACCINATION for me… my immune system can sort out any future problems..:-)
Get and keep healthy,
Best wishes and Love from Graham and Rasa

Rheumatoid Arthritis
is a form of arthritis that causes pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of function in your joints. It can affect any joint but is common in the wrist and fingers. More women than men get rheumatoid arthritis. It often starts in middle age and is most common in older people. But children and young adults can also get it. You might have the disease for only a short time, or symptoms might come and go. The severe form can last a lifetime. Rheumatoid arthritis is different from osteoarthritis, the common arthritis that often comes with older age. RA can affect body parts besides joints, such as your eyes, mouth and lungs. RA is an autoimmune disease, which means the arthritis results from your immune system attacking your body’s own tissues. No one knows what causes rheumatoid arthritis. Genes, environment and hormones might contribute. Treatments include medicine, lifestyle changes and surgery. These can slow or stop joint damage and reduce pain and swelling.
