I fondly remember one kind gentleman, in his seventies, who one day walked into my store. He asked for help. His wife's arthritis was so painful. Day and night he would rub her aching legs with "hot ice" to numb the pain she experienced.

He came to my store because no medication really helped his wife and he couldn't stand watching her suffer. You could tell how much he loved her. I explained to him the meaning of my Internal Cleansing Program, which had worked for so many before him, and he decided to go ahead and give it a try.

In about a week he was back in the store. I was wondering what happened when he walked in the door, but his face told the whole story. "I am amazed!" he exclaimed. "My wife's pain has subsided. She's told me to stop rubbing her legs with 'hot ice'."

"Another thing," he continued, "her bowels have been freed. She's always been so constipated, now she has wonderful movements."

He talked about hardened bits of feces - rubber like excretions - that no doubt were related to her arthritic condition. These "stone-like" stools had been sitting in her intestines for heaven knows how long. He also told me that she had diabetes.

What I need to point out is this: when the body is in trouble, it hardly ever is just in one area. The blood travels everywhere, taking toxins with it. When you don't eat and digest right, all the food turns into a sticky paste that sticks to you intestinal walls making assimilation difficult at best.

And what do most people do in such a situation? They look for relief in laxatives or other over the counter drugs.

This reminds me of a story I read in a medical journal. The x-rays of a 42-year-old woman showed signs of chronic ulcerative colitis and cancer, which can be a complication of ulcerative colitis. Sigmoidosocpy and biopsy seemed to confirm the diagnosis and the colon was operated on. When the bowel was studied by pathologists, they found that the woman had neither cancer nor ulcerative colitis.

That's when they discovered what she really had - a condition known as "carthartic colon," from apparent misuse of stimulant laxatives. The woman had been treating her constipation by taking two stimulant laxatives for nearly 20 years! Her colon had become so irritated by the laxative that it appeared to be ulcerated and even cancerous.

When your car sputters it may be just the exhaust, chances are however that something is wrong way ahead of the exhaust pipe. It could indeed be the gas you are feeding your car. Lots of people I meet cough, burp and make sounds out both ends of their body. Yes, all those funny noises mean something, for sure.

With proper food combining and a good internal cleansing program there is no need to be "amazed", as the gentleman was. He, luckily, stumbled into my store and found a common sense relief for many of the pains we have been told we just have to endure because we are getting on in age. Not so! And this is true not just for arthritis but for many other conditions as well.

So before you reach for the pain killer bottle, or the irritant laxative, or the antacid, or whatever you have been told you can't live without, give the full INTERNAL CLEANSING PROGRAM a try. In just several weeks, you to can see a change for the better. If you live in Ohio, take the time and come to our Friday evening program, now at all four of my stores. If you live too far, then give my counselors a call and ask them to explain my program to you.

You have nothing to lose
except your aches and pains!
