Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Let me ask you a question— what is knee pain keeping you from doing right now?
If you’re like most people who live with arthritis, you probably avoid playing with the grandkids… or working in the garden… or even going out with your friends.
Arthritis slows you down… and the LAST THING you want to do is reduce your activity level, because that’s a one-way ticket to an early grave.
And mainstream docs offer ZERO help for your pain. Instead, they give you harmful drugs that wreck your health.
Luckily, there is a way out of pain with NO side effects.
It’s a time-honored Chinese secret that can SOOTHE your worst arthritis pain.
A new study found that people getting electroacupuncture did much better than those who got no treatment at all.
The researchers looked at 480 participants and randomized them into three groups: those getting a sham (fake) acupuncture treatment, those who received traditional acupuncture, and those who got electroacupuncture.
Electroacupuncture is like regular acupuncture (it still uses needles), except a tiny electrical current is passed through the needles. Practitioners who use electroacupuncture theorize the electricity enhances the acupuncture…
And that’s exactly what this study found.
An amazing 60 percent of people getting electroacupuncture saw relief in pain levels AND function… and it lasted for six months!
Even 58 percent of the folks who got regular acupuncture saw results as well.
I know it sounds a little scary—electricity plus needles!?
But there’s no need to fear. Most people don’t even feel the needles, and the electric current running through them is barely felt as well.
If you’d like to try it for yourself, look for a certified acupuncturist in your area.
And if you really want to drop the pain, add in the following.
Dr. Scott’s Four-Step Arthritis Solution:
- Feed your joints. Make sure you have enough of the basic building blocks. Collagen, eggshell membrane, and vitamin C are all great sources of nutrients your joints need. These supplements are all widely available online.
- Stop Inflammation. Inflammation is lowered by avoiding vegetable oils, processed foods, and by eating a low-sugar diet. Fish oil is my favorite anti-inflammatory supplement, and I like curcumin and Boswellia as well.
- Diet. Eat good proteins and fish a few times a week.
- Exercise. Joints become stronger when you exercise. Don’t try for anything crazy—simple walking can do wonders.
