A doctor gave me this diet.

Before I went on this diet, my inherited bursitis was so bad I couldn't walk two blocks without resting and I couldn't drive a car without a 'blue ice' block behind my hip. Now I walk 4 miles a day and can drive 8 hours with no problem.

Before I went on this diet, arthritis that set in a finger I injured playing basketball was so sore, I would skip G# notes on the saxophone so that I wouldn't have to use it. Now I have zero pain and stiffness in that finger.

A number of people I've recommended this anti-inflammatory diet to have also had very good results.

And it works with Low Carb and Keto

Here it is, if you care to follow it, I hope it works for you too.


For both arthritis and bursitis, treatment is similar:

Try the dietary approach first, and if that doesn't work, take stronger action.

Foods that may contribute to chronic inflammation are foods with a high glycemic index (foods that convert to sugar quickly), such as fruit juices, sugars, simple starches, or rice cakes, foods heavy in polyunsaturated or saturated fats, and foods high in arachidonic acid. Some specific foods to avoid are:

* Fatty cuts of red meat (high in saturated fats) lean is good
* Organ meats: liver, kidney, and so forth (very high in arachidonic acid)
* Egg yolks (very high in arachidonic acid)
* Poultry - chicken, duck, turkey (very high in arachidonic acid)
* Pasta (high glycemic index)
* Juices (high glycemic index)
* Rice, especially rice cakes (high glycemic index)
* White bread (substitute whole grain breads such as rye)
* Nightshade Plants bother many people (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, peppers, paprika)

Glycemic index charts can be found on the Internet.

Better choices are foods with a low glycemic index and foods that are heavy in monounsaturated fats. Some specific good foods are:

* Salmon and other fish
* Oatmeal
* Low glycemic fresh fruits and vegetables
* Olives and olive oil
* Peanuts and other nuts
* Whey proteins
* Lean beef is good, 100% grass fed is better
