This condition rarely exists when the infection has been prevented from entering the body. Those who suffer from arthritis invariably have a point of infection within their bodies other than the affected joint area. By fighting the infection wherever it occurs—in the teeth (gums), tonsils, bladder, kidneys, sinuses, appendix, or otherwise—you are protecting yourself against a future bout of arthritis.

Vitamin C is an important anti-infective substance. Make sure your diet contains citrus fruits, green or red bell peppers, berries, and other foods rich in vitamin C. A diet fortified with the Fountain of Youth Cocktail will never be short of vitamin C. Mild infections can be overcome with nothing more than an increase in the consumption of vitamin C where the diet does not have a sufficient supply of this important substance. By fortifying your diet with substantial amounts of vitamin C and maintaining a natural existence (sun, air, soil, and water), you can prevent infection rather than have the more difficult task of curing it once the infection has started.

TH suffered from acute arthritis which led to a semi-crippled state. His left hand was completely immobile and a similar condition had set in on his hips, causing him to bend at the waist when walking, which he could only achieve with the use of a cane. The pain made sleep almost impossible, and for a year he had been using barbiturates to induce rest at night.

A three-quart pack was prescribed to be used for two hours, twice a week. Cold water rubs were administered each morning with a whole body rub (the affected area was gently rubbed to avoid unnecessary pain). Afusions of the knees and affected area were ordered. The pressure of the water on the affected point was determined by the state of the patient, the rule being to avoid excessive pain at all times.

A non-stimulant diet was ordered, accompanied by the Fountain of Youth Cocktail. Warm compresses were applied at night (heating pads wrapped in wet towels). Sun and air baths were administered daily, weather permitting.

Three weeks after the above, TH lives without the aid of a cane. The pain had not completely subsided, but sleeping pills were never allowed and after the first night the patient had slept satisfactorily since day 1. At home he continued with the non-stimulant diet (reinforced with the Fountain of Youth Cocktail) for two months. During that time, she continued to use warm compresses every night and cold rubs and rubs every morning. After two months, the pain had subsided. TH then increased the scope of his diet, continuing the emphasis on vitamin C foods. A year into his new life, observing all the laws of natural existence and providing himself with copious amounts of vitamin G foods, the Cocktail of the Fountain of Youth and brisk, wet rubs, TH lost all painful symptoms of arthritis.
