Dr F Member on beating RA wrote:Just hang in there, the RA plagued me off and on over the months where I could not walk and needed the steroids. By reading and re-reading the good doctors books, writing things down and drinking my arthritis juice (I call it) really makes the difference. I do not feel sorry for myself, that only promotes negative feelings that lead to downfall. I stay positive and tell my mind every morning that I am going to beat this foreign invader by whatever means I have to. Remember that whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve. Never say my _ _ _ _, by doing that you own up to it as yours and your mind then keeps it for you and you will never get rid of what attacks. Stay focused, I have all my positive energy focused toward you and the Nutritarian way of eating works. Don't get me wrong, I am not over it yet, but, I will be. I have not been to a doctor in over a year. I just do it and keep positive. Thank you for your reply, I know you will get over your crippling pain. I have confidence in you. Pain, I had it, where you felt you were being pulled apart by both legs. Saying every morning that my mind is in control and that there is no autoimmune in me or any other foreign attackers really strenghtens your mind, makes you feel like conquering the world.
Stay tuff, hang in there. We are all here routing for you.

You have to keep a clear picture in your mind of what you want.
Write down your goals and recite them in front of a mirror 12 times for 2 weeks to re-enforce them in your mind.
You have the power to take possession of your own mind and direct it to whatever ends you may choose. Your only limitations are what you set up in your own mind or what you let others set up in your mind.
You must control your mental attitude. A negative mental attitude will bring you failure. Your mental attitude is the one and the only thing you can control. Your real limitation is what you set up in your own mind and accept. If you stumble, go back and read your goals. You have to go that extra mile and not fear criticism of others. No matter how many times you have failed in the past with other ways of attaining your goals, you can achieve your goals if you keep your mind positive.
WHAT EVER THE MIND CAN CONCIEVE AND BELIEVE THE MIND CAN ACHIEVE.
You are always learning. Remember: “Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.” When you have read Dr. Fuhrman’s books, go back and re-read them again. Why? As Stephen King once said: “Good books don’t give up all their secrets at once.”
Before success comes in any person’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a person, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is what the majority of what people do. Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one up when success is almost in reach. Remember to always keep on going, no matter how hard the going may be.
