Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Infection Connection (Targeting and Treating the Cause of Chronic Illness)

Foreword by Dr. Harold Clark, author of "Why Arthritis?" and lab manager for Dr. Thomas McPherson Brown, author of "The Road Back."

Appendices by Dr. Joseph Mercola, D.O. (www.mercola.com) and Dr. Garth Nicolson (www.immed.org)

IN THIS BOOK YOU WILL DISCOVER:

-- Actions of microorganisms that cause RA-mycoplasmas, mycobacteria, molds, spirochetes (e.g., Lyme), viruses, bacteria and their cell wall deficient L-forms;
-- Their role in other chronic illnesses with arthritis-like symptoms such as Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome;
-- Online authoritative medical information and support organizations;
-- The best Internet sites to research health, drugs, treatments, and disease;
-- What diagnostic tests are available and where to get them;

AND LEARN WAYS TO:
-- Recognize and suppress pathogenic microorganisms;
-- Destroy or eliminate the toxins they produce;
-- Control the allergies that trigger RA reactions;
-- Strengthen the immune system using natural, non-toxic methods;
-- Locate a health care professional to work with you.

Conventional RA treatments include toxic drugs that reduce painful symptoms but do not treat the root cause, namely, bacterial infection. An immune system weakened by drugs (e.g., antidepressants or antihistamines), improper diet, stress, and multiple infections is unable to produce the quantity and quality of natural antibodies to stave off new attacks.

This book describes the steps necessary to:
-- Identify, attack, and remove the cause(s) of the infection(s);
-- Neutralize pathogen-generated wastes (toxins and harmful enzymes);
-- Flush these wastes from the body; and
-- Restore the body's systems to normal, healthy function.

*******************************

Until recently, testing methods to identify these microorganisms precisely and to prescribe effective treatments have not been available. Traditional treatments with immunosuppressing drugs often breed stronger, more resistant bacterial organisms, which mutate and grow, overwhelming the immune system's resources. Undiagnosed food and chemical allergies can also amplify the severity of arthritis symptoms. In this book, both the lay reader and physician will find an effective course of treatment possibly leading to a cure for RA and other chronic illnesses with arthritis-like symptoms.

Dr. Katherine Poehlmann is a professional researcher and a systems engineer with a magna cum laude degree in mathematics and an MBA with a specialty in technology management. She has authored more than a dozen scientific reports on space technology, defense policy analysis, and aircraft logistics.

She used her research skills, honed at the RAND Corporation as a senior analyst from 1984-1994, to obtain a Ph.D. in health counseling in 1997. The goal was to find the cause of a debilitating case of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) which developed in both ankles soon after a fall down stairs. She saw that the usual course of treatment involved using powerful drugs with harmful side effects. These medications only masked the painful RA symptoms but did not target the root cause of the RA condition. Although her research began with a study of RA, she soon realized that many other chronic illnesses could be traced to bacterial infection as either a cause or co-factor. This led to the comprehensive analysis presented in her book.

Dr. Poehlmann has progressed from being "25% disabled," as determined by several physicians and rheumatologists in 1993, to being completely ambulatory and pain-free, using the regimen described in this book. She became a certified hypnotherapist in order to learn techniques for stress control and pain management and teach them to others.

Since recovery from RA, she has hiked in Tibet, Chile, and over sections of the Great Wall of China.
