About Me:: I am a born again Christian and my husband and I live on our farm with our animal friends. We have 3 horses, 3 dogs,3 cats a deer and a fox. I take in abandoned wildlife and raise them but they are always free to go whenever they like. Some choose to stay, others leave and come back but I'm crazy about all my pets.
I used to suffer from psoriatic arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, major depression, fibromyalgia and I was absolutely sick of all the medication I was on. I was determined to find natural remedies and wean myself off these toxic pills. I used to live in a large city with serious pollution and water that was full of chlorine, flouride and whatever else they put in it. I did a colon cleanse and lost 10 lbs and then an organ cleanse. I started eating healthier, got away from dairy, white sugar and white flour products and now am off my arthritis medication. (I was injecting methotrexate once a week and taking heavy anti-inflammatories daily). The diet change has kept my weight down and has lowered spasms from my IBS. I take fish oil and omega 3 supplements, evening primrose oil and vitamin D. I have signifigantly lowered my antidepressants. I don't have major pain anymore and am a lot happier.

I did a spit test and it showed I had it, so I thought I better take care of that issue first. I'm also taking colagen to help with my joints. I started weight-training and it brought joint pain, so that's what I'm doing now. I have this pear-shape going on. And even though I lost 55 pounds I can't wear my bikini because of my thighs so that's why I'm weight training. I hired a trainer who is 62 years old and she looks younger than me. I'm 43. So after I saw her she got me motivated, but like I said I started training and the next day my shoulder pain came back, so I don't know what that's all about.

At 8:30am on March 16, 2009, Linda W said…: I've read some good things about Krill oil and I'm definitely going to get some sun today with the weather almost to 60 today. Do you know who Dr. Mercola is? He has a website. Have you ever done a Candida cleanse? And more specifically a Candida cleanse by Dr. Jeffrey McCombs called Lifeforce? One last question, are you 100 percent pain-free of RA?

At 8:55am on March 9, 2009, Linda W said…: Hi, Araine, how are you? How's your RA? Is there something working for you that you could share with me?

At 5:47am on February 18, 2009, SteveSega - Free HCG Coach said…: Hi Araine, your arthritis, IBS, depression and fibromyalgia can all be cured with a 100% organic raw food diet. The cure for clinical depression is a high intake of Vitamin B3. The highest concentration in food is found in raw (not roasted) cashews. Dr Andrew Saul says that 2 handfuls of cashews per day will gradually get rid of depression. It worked for me. The simple fact is "we are what we eat".

At 4:46pm on December 30, 2008, Linda W said…: I'm so happy for you, Araine, no meds. That's wonderful. I have had some pain these last two weeks that I overindulged. Nothing real bad, but twice I had to take some ibuprofen. Have you ever heard of Dr. Mercola? I've been on his site and he has this very informative lecture about vitamin d and RA. Real interesting. For New Years the kids, husband and I are seeing Bolt in 3D. It's an animated film and then we're going to have dinner at a cafe close to our house. Very low key, but that's how I like it. Talk to you soon.

At 11:12am on December 30, 2008, Linda W said…: Araine, how was your Christmas? I overindulged quite a bit. I'm starting hcg. In fact I just injected my first shot today. I'm going to try to lose 20 pounds. What are you going to do for New Years?

At 7:14pm on December 21, 2008, Linda W said…: Hi, Araine, have a merry Christmas!!!!!

At 4:52pm on December 12, 2008, Linda W said…: Do you go to a support group for your eating disorder? I binge and was thinking of going to Overeater's Anonymus (sp?). I have the info on what time the meetings are and where they are, but just haven't gone. I keep thinking I don't need it or it's not going to help, so I'm just wondering if you have ever gone and could tell me if it helped you or not.
