Although exposure like this sounds odd and perhaps amusing, I can assure you--based on my experience treating more than 3,000 patients over the past 15 years--RA is indeed a devastating autoimmune disease that can destroy your health with crippling torturous pain.

My RA Protocol, which I developed over the last 15 years,  is based on the ground-breaking work of renegade pioneer Dr. Thomas McPherson Brown, who uses antibiotics to treat the mycoplasma infection he believed to be a major factor in this illness. 

This method has been proven scientifically with double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trials in some of the largest and most prestigious medical centers in the world. Dr. Brown helped over 10,000 RA patients during his career.

I have used my revision of Dr. Brown's protocol for over a decade. My revision of his work includes three major breakthroughs:

• My Eating Plan. This is the first and most important part of the treatment, because it optimizes your insulin and omega-3 fats. The latter usually involves taking significant amounts of fish or cod liver oil.

• Psychological Acupressure like EFT. This is an essential element that seems to be an incredibly effective tool in normalizing the emotional short-circuiting that is present in nearly all those with arthritis. I have seen many people fail to respond to the best diet and NST treatments, but once they addressed their emotional challenges their arthritis disappeared.

• NST therapy. NST has improved our results quite dramatically. Prior to NST, our patient success rate was about 80 percent, and now it has improved to 95 percent.

• Omega-3 from a high-quality fish or cod liver oil. Now that we are in the late fall, for most of us cod liver oil will be key to maintain high levels of vitamin D, which are also useful in treating RA.

One other warning: Although I do write prescriptions occasionally, you should always avoid taking any interferon drugs, as they are loaded with severe side effects that can cause far more harm than good.
