“I believe acupuncture is the number one method for arthritis. Number two is homeopathy. … Years ago I learned about a special arthritis diet…many animals improve on this diet alone.”—A. Greig Howie, DVM

The Antiarthritis Diet
2 cups brown rice
2 cups barley (pearls)
1 cup lentils
2 cups carrots
1 cup celery
1/2 cup parsley
2 cups spinach
2 cups lamb or beef hearts
2 garlic cloves
8 to 12 cups water

Combine ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil and then simmer covered for 1 1/4 hours. Stir every fifteen minutes. Add more water as needed.

I put my 9 year old Newfoundland on this diet 6 weeks
ago and in 2 wks. I saw a fantastic change in his over-all
flexibility & energy level. He also has lost weight that was a problem. It should be noted that a multi vitamin and digestive enzymes are also recommended by Dr. Howie.
This is an amazing diet! It works incredibly well.
