It is estimated that over 13 million Indian are afflicted with arthritis in its various forms every year. Arthritis is, perhaps, the most crippling and organizing of all degenerative diseases. Although not as great a direct killer as, for example, cancer and heart diseases, arthritis causes more pain, despair and suffering to more people than any other single disease.
The most distressing fact about arthritis is that 13 million or more arthritis sufferers are given no hope for cure or even any relief from their discomfort and misery. It is evident, however, that we are doomed to new disappointments. Arthritis is a systemic, meta- bolic disease, the end result of a longtime abuse of normal bodily processes, and cannot be expected to cured by a single miracle drug. Only by correcting and eliminating the underlying causes and abnormal conditions which caused its development, can arthritis be successfully corrected.
