According to the modern medical system, there is no cure for arthritis and the patient must learn to live with it. Naturopathy, however, believes in dietetic cure of the disease. Most chronic arthritis patients are heavy eaters and often take food furnishing 3,500 to 4,000 calories. As they cannot utilise all the starchy elements of this intake, toxins accumulate and an excessive acid waste results in the aggravation of prevalent joint condition. A low-calorie diet, consisting of about 2,000 calories with a minimum carbohydrate content, is advisable. The diet should, however, include an adequate amount of vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and iron.

The diet of the arthritis patient should be planned along alkaline lines and should include fruits and vegetables for protection and proteins and carbohydrates for energy. It may consist of a couple of fresh raw vegetables in the form of salad and at least two cooked vegetable, Cabbage, carrot, celery, cucumber, endive, lettuce, onion, radishes, tomato, and water cress maybe used for raw salad. The cooked vegetables may include asparagus, beets, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, celery, brinjal, mushroom, onions, peas, spinach, squash, tomatoes and turnips.

In severe cases, it will be advisable to put the patient on vegetable juice therapy for about a week.

Fruits permitted in arthritis are apples, lemons, oranges, banana, pears, the various berries, apricot, pineapple, plums and melons.

The raw potato juice therapy is considered one of the most successful biological treatment for rheumatic and arthritis conditions. It has been used in folk medicine for centuries. The old method of preparing potato juice was to cut the potato into thin slices, without peeling the skin, and place overnight in a large glass filled with cold water. The water should be drunk in the morning on an empty stomach. Fresh juice can also be extracted from potatoes and drunk, diluted with water on 50:50 basis first thing in the morning.

The tea made from the herb alfalfa, especially that from its seeds has shown beneficial results in' the treatment of arthritis. The patients benefit greatly by the alkalizing of food residues aided by this tea. Six or seven cups of this tea should be taken daily by arthritics for at least two weeks.

Vitamin A and D play an important role in warding off infections, thereby preventing arthritis.
