The Home Treatment for Arthritis
The Home Treatment for Arthritis
The Home Treatment is an alternative arthritis treatment offering a natural, drug free way to manage arthritic pain.
Arthritis is the single biggest cause of disability in the UK. If you've been diagnosed with arthritis, you'll know the pain and frustration of living with the condition. You may have been told there is no natural remedy for arthritis, but you still wish there was a proactive, drug free way of tackling it. There is.
The Home Treatment Programme offers a natural method of managing your arthritis and relief from the associated pain. Developed by Charles de Coti-Marsh over 60 years ago, it has enabled thousands of people to control their arthritis.
There are three essential components to The Home Treatment Programme: diet, supplementation and postural management.
Changes to your diet
Central to success on the Programme is managing what you eat. But it's far more than just a healthy diet. In the words of Charles de Coti-Marsh, “It must be understood that the disease begins in the bowel. Incorrect diet causes a deficiency in potassium in the blood.” On the Home Treatment Programme you’ll discover the beneficial effects of regular detoxification and the avoidance of foodstuffs that can bring on arthritis.
Essential supplements
As well as taking care of what you eat, you are encouraged to take a number of natural supplements. These preparations help eliminate toxins from the gut and facilitate the loosening of cramped muscles and painful, arthritic joints over time.
Postural management
From his research with patients, Charles de Coti-Marsh concluded that even a slight spinal injury, as far back as birth, could be sufficient to cause calcification of the joints and arthritis later in life. For this reason, members are encouraged to seek the expert opinion and possible treatment by a qualified Associated Practitioner. These are health professionals, known to the Association, who can relate their knowledge and expertise to the theories and techniques expressed by Charles de Coti-Marsh. Charitable funds may be available to help you benefit from this: please speak to The Association's Principal Home Treatment Adviser, Bruce Hester, to find out more.
There are no known side effects to The Home Treatment Programme and there's plenty of individual support available to help you reach your goal. This natural treatment has worked for people of all ages and with many forms of arthritis.
The Arthritic Association, both through its Home Treatment Advisory Team and its Associated Practitioners, provides all the guidance and help you need to follow the treatment.
Latest research puts diet and lifestyle at the centre of many common medical conditions. You could say that Charles de Coti-Marsh was ahead of his time.
