Dr. Susan Blum unveils a revolutionary 3-step guide to natural recovery in “Healing Arthritis”
- Dr. Susan Blum offers a groundbreaking perspective on arthritis in her book, “Healing Arthritis: Your 3-Step Guide to Conquering Arthritis Naturally.” Her approach focuses on addressing the root causes of arthritis rather than just managing symptoms, emphasizing the body’s innate ability to heal.
- Blum highlights the limitations and potential downsides of traditional arthritis medications, which often rely on painkillers and immune-suppressing drugs. These treatments can provide temporary relief but may lead to long-term complications, particularly by damaging the gut, a crucial component of the immune system.
- A central theme of Blum’s work is the link between gut health and arthritis. She argues that a compromised gut is a significant factor in arthritis and inflammation.
- The first phase involves eliminating inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy, soy, corn, eggs, sugar and nightshade vegetables to allow the gut to heal and identify food sensitivities. The second phase focuses on healing the gut through herbs, supplements and probiotics, with detailed treatment plans tailored to individual needs. Lastly, the final phase emphasizes a transition to a healthy eating plan, stress management and mind-body practices to build resilience and prevent relapse.
- Blum’s personal experience with arthritis, triggered by traumatic events, underscores the effectiveness of her protocol. Her journey from patient to advocate empowers readers to take control of their health and embark on a path toward lasting wellness, offering a promising alternative to conventional treatments.
Arthritis affects over 54 million American adults, and is projected to impact 580 million people globally by 2030. But a beacon of hope emerges from the pages of Dr. Susan Blum’s groundbreaking book, “Healing Arthritis: Your 3-Step Guide to Conquering Arthritis Naturally.”
As a leading figure in functional medicine, Blum offers a fresh perspective on managing this debilitating condition – moving beyond conventional treatments to address the root causes of arthritis. Her approach is not just about symptom management; it’s about healing the body from within.
Her journey adds a compelling layer to her revolutionary protocol. Functional medicine, a discipline that Dr. Blum champions, acts like a medical detective, probing deeper than surface-level symptoms to uncover the underlying causes of illness.
Unlike traditional medicine, which often relies on powerful painkillers and immune-suppressing drugs that can provide temporary relief but may lead to long-term complications, functional medicine seeks to eliminate the source of the problem. This is particularly relevant when considering the downsides of conventional arthritis medications, which can damage the gut – a critical component of the immune system as 70 percent of immune function resides there.
Blum’s approach is rooted in the belief that a compromised gut is a significant factor in arthritis and inflammation. Her book is filled with cutting-edge research that underscores the gut-arthritis connection, offering a unique program that she has successfully implemented with her patients and even herself.
Despite her medical background and healthy lifestyle, she found herself grappling with arthritis symptoms after a series of traumatic events, including her son’s brain injury, the stress of launching a new health center and the loss of her father.
Her symptoms ranged from constipation and bloating to finger pain and episcleritis, an inflammatory eye condition that served as a wake-up call for her body’s distress. Through her own healing journey, Dr. Blum discovered that addressing her gut health and the emotional trauma she had experienced were pivotal in overcoming her arthritis. This realization led her to create the 3-Step Arthritis Protocol, a comprehensive approach that has transformed the lives of many.
The two-week jump-start leaky gut diet for arthritis: The first step is a dietary overhaul designed to eliminate foods that trigger inflammation and leaky gut. This includes gluten, dairy, soy, corn, eggs, sugar and nightshade vegetables. By removing these potential irritants, the gut is given a chance to heal and any food sensitivities can be identified. This initial phase is crucial for laying the foundation for long-term healing.
The two-month intensive gut repair: The second step focuses on healing the gut through a combination of herbs, supplements and probiotics. Dr. Blum provides detailed treatment plans, including specific supplement schedules and timelines, tailored to different patients, including her own experience. This phase is about reinforcing the gut’s integrity and enhancing its ability to function optimally.
The finish-what-you-started six-month program: The final step is a transition to a long-term healthy eating plan and continued support for gut health. Blum emphasizes the importance of addressing stress and trauma, which can significantly impact gut health and the immune system.
She introduces mind-body practices and stress management techniques to build resilience and prevent relapse. This comprehensive approach ensures that patients are equipped to maintain their health and well-being in the long run.
Blum also delves into the various types of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and osteoarthritis, explaining the causes, symptoms and treatment options for each. She underscores that the Arthritis Protocol can benefit anyone with inflammatory arthritis, regardless of the specific diagnosis.
In “Healing Arthritis,” Dr. Susan Blum provides a roadmap for those seeking a natural, effective way to manage and overcome arthritis. Her 3-Step Protocol offers a promising alternative to conventional treatments, empowering individuals to take control of their health and embark on a journey toward lasting wellness.
