ARTHRITIS AND GOUT – CHRONIC INFECTION
It is estimated that 4-7 per cent of the world’s population are afflicted by the dreadful, painful scourge called arthritis. Two to three hundred thousand people in Switzerland have fallen victim to it and millions of people elsewhere in Europe and the United States can speak of their personal experience of arthritis, many of whom may have suffered from it for decades. Arthritis and gout mar the sufferer’s happiness and can be sheer agony. It is the purpose of the following discussion to help as many of these people as possible.
Arthritis often has its origin in a chronic infection somewhere in the system. It may be the tonsils, a dental abscess or some other purulent inflammation which keep discharging minute quantities of toxins and poisonous waste products of the protein metabolism into the bloodstream. The effect is damaging to the joints and the internal organs such as the heart and kidneys. Apart from that, arthritis is definitely a disease of civilisation, the outcome of eating the wrong kinds of food and a wrong life-style. In many cases we may also have inherited a predisposition to it; we suffer the consequences of what our forefathers passed on to us, in the words of the Bible, ‘Fathers are the ones that eat unripe grapes, but it is the teeth of the sons that get set on edge.’
