how I tackled
arthritis
omedian Clint Paddison
was diagnosed at the young
age of 31 with debilitating
rheumatoid arthritis. This is his story
of how he spent years researching
ways to come off the toxic medications
prescribed to him and how today,
he is pain free, drug free and back to
maximum energy.
C
“I woke up one morning in 2007 with sore feet. At the
time I was 31 years old and felt quite fit and healthy so I
thought nothing of it. However, the pain quickly spread
into my ankles, left knee, fingers, wrists and within a few
months it was even in my chest and jaw. With every deep
breath I would feel pain, and with every bite of food I
would be in pain.
My GP ran some blood tests and declared that I had
rheumatoid arthritis (RA). He explained that it is an
autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks the lining
of the joints causing severe pain and eventual disability. He
said, ‘Of all the diseases that I would not want to get, this
would be at the top of my list!’
I then went to a rheumatologist who suggested strong
drug treatments to minimise long-term joint damage.
I was keen to avoid the toxic drugs, but my condition
deteriorated over the coming 12 months so I eventually
gave in and started taking the medications.
After starting medication I gained partial pain relief.
However, the combination of the drug and the disease left
me extremely fatigued. I was also still worsening, in spite of
the drug, and my required dosage was increased accordingly
to maintain the same relief. There were mornings where my
wife, Melissa, had to help support me to the bathroom.
Worse still, my medications restricted me from being able
to start a family - something Melissa and I wanted dearly.
Finally, during another visit to my rheumatologist for more
drugs, I decided enough was enough. As I sat there in pain,
with my body and future outlook deteriorating I thought, ‘I
will do anything it takes to stop this living nightmare.’

rheumatoid
head on
I placed my faith in my educational
background, as a scientist and researcher,
and committed all of my energy towards
finding a natural alternative to treat the
RA. I committed myself to getting rid of
the pain, getting off the drugs, getting
my energy levels back and, hopefully,
even becoming a father. I scrawled the
headline, ‘Pain Free, Drug Free and Back
to Maximum Energy’ on a piece of paper
and stuck it on the fridge.
I continually tested supplements,
natural herbal remedies, alternative
treatments, exercises and potential food
allergies in the search for triggers and
pain relief. With my scientific mindset I
firmly believed that this disease had been
triggered by something and the underlying
cause could be identified and halted.
Like many good scientific discoveries,
one of my greatest epiphanies came about
by accident. I experienced a severe bout
of food poisoning. This led to 24 hours
of vomiting and diarrhoea. Consequently
I had to rest in bed, where I lay there
fearing the increase in joint pain that
comes with lack of physical movement.
To my amazement the opposite occurred
and when the purging was complete I felt
incredible!
This unplanned cleanse resulted in a
rapid and significant decrease in pain and
joint swelling. This made me convinced
that there was a link between my joint
pain and my digestive system. ‘All I have
to do’, I thought, ‘is work out how to get
these same results without having to vomit
and have diarrhoea for the rest of my life!’
So, I began to undertake major
dietary experiments – I increased my
consumption of leafy greens and began
drinking wheatgrass shots, green juices
and green smoothies. I started going to

I could keep up my ability
to walk. I gained a lot of
my energy from sprouted
nuts and seeds for several
months, before shifting
onto some easy-to-digest
foods like brown rice and
sweet potatoes.
Slowly my strength
returned and my pain
subsided. After two years I was
off all of my medications and
the heat and swelling in my
joints disappeared. Although
I have been left with some
joints that were permanently
damaged from the RA, blood
tests have confirmed that my
inflammation has gone.
My rheumatologist has told
me he has never seen a recovery
like it.
I have been off the drugs for over
three years and I now want to help
others battling this disease. I have
launched an initiative called the Paddison
Program for Rheumatoid Arthritis and
nearly 3,000 people in 51 countries have
embraced many of the strategies I’ve
used. My wife and I have received heartwarming and extraordinary stories from
people following this program who have
experienced life-changing results also.
I believe we have found a way of
mitigating many of the worst symptoms
of RA by harnessing current scientific
findings on the links between diet and the
disease. It’s a two-step approach:
1) Reduce food sensitivities in the short
term via an elimination diet over 12 days.
2) Gradually reintroduce foods to see
which specific item people are sensitive
to. The second phase is also part of a longterm approach to improving gut health
with specific plant-based foods such as
quinoa, brown rice, miso and seaweed.
I’m not suggesting that drugs for
rheumatoid arthritis should be avoided.
I am saying that extraordinary nutrition
along with re-establishing optimal gut
health can be just as life changing. For
me, one of the best aspects to this was that

made
Detox benefits
✓ Boost your energy
✓ Loose a few kilos
✓ Your skin will glow
✓ Improve your digestion
o longer do you
need to cringe
at the thought of
detoxing! Here is a simple,
easy to follow two-week
detox and cleanse program
that will have you starting
the year fit, healthy and full
of energy!
N
Why detox?
Toxins accumulate in our body from
external sources, such as chemicals,
pesticides, food additives, heavy metals,
drugs and pollutants which may be
present in our food, water, or the air we
breathe. They also build up from the
‘unfriendly’ bacteria, yeasts and parasites
in our guts which create havoc with our
digestive processes. All these toxins travel
in our bloodstream and need to be
managed by our cleansing organs – the
liver, kidneys, bowel and skin. If toxins
accumulate faster than our body can
eliminate them, our detoxification
pathways become overwhelmed. The
4
ISSUE 37 • 2015
result is we feel less vital, less energetic
and gain unhealthy weight. What’s the
answer? A simple and effective cleanse
and detox can reduce the toxic load,
support and enhance the functioning of
your organs and begin to restore your
health and vitality.
Follow Go Vita’s simple three phase
program – you’ll be thrilled with your results!
For the most effective results, start with
phase 1 to kick off your cleansing regime.
If completely avoiding meat or other
protein is not suitable for you, then simply
start at phase 2. You will still see marked
improvements and feel rejuvenated!
Phase 1
Decrease toxic build up (days 1-7)
1. Eat foods that are high in antioxidants,
organic if possible and fresh, raw or
lightly cooked – see table.
2. Gentle exercise – walking, yoga,
stretching,
tai
chi,
swimming,
gardening. Try not to tax your body
too much with strenuous activity as
your body will be working hard on
cleansing and detoxification.
3. Skin brushing – gently brush your
arms, legs, stomach and chest with a
mitt or bristle brush prior to bathing
to stimulate the lymphatic system,
improve circulation and help skin to
excrete toxins.
4. Massage, sauna and Epsom salt baths all
promote relaxation, blood circulation,
and help reduce fluid retention where
wastes can accumulate. Indulge in
spa and sauna weekly and massage
fortnightly if you are able. Have no
more than two Epsom salt baths per
week.
Phase 2
Cleanse and support (days 7-14)
If you have followed phase 1 – well done!
You’ll start to feel lighter, more energetic
and vital. Continue to eat all of the foods
listed in phase 1 and introduce those listed
in phase 2.
If you’re starting the detox program at
phase 2 then follow the advice in phase 1,
and include the foods for phase 2 also.
Phase 3

do you
need more
magnesium?
aturopath Paul
Keogh shares some
of the clues that
indicate you might benefit
from topping up your
magnesium levels.
N
Magnesium is vital to a vast number of the
body’s processes and metabolic reactions,
but many Australians don’t consume
enough of it in their diets.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a reliable and
inexpensive test to determine the body’s
total magnesium levels. Instead, clinicians
often rely on their knowledge about who’s
most likely to be affected by magnesium
deficiency, and the types of symptoms that
it causes. Here are some of the red flags we
watch out for.
You’re physically active
Athletes and active people may need
magnesium in greater quantities than
other people, so if you exercise regularly,
it’s important to be aware that being
magnesium deficient may impair your
exercise performance and reduce your
stamina and endurance.
Magnesium supports exercise performance,
endurance and recovery in several ways,
including helping to maintain electrolyte
16
ISSUE 37 • 2015
balance, assisting muscle recovery after
exercise and reducing fatigue.
Taking a magnesium supplement may
assist with all these issues, and also help
prevent and/or relieve exercise-induced
muscle cramps, spasms, pain and weakness.
You experience muscle tension,
cramps or twitches
Magnesium deficiency can lead to a
wide variety of muscular symptoms,
ranging from tiny twitches in
your eyelid right through to
those agonising cramps in
the soles of your feet that
only ever seem to creep
up on you in the middle
of the night.
Taking a magnesium
supplement may help to
prevent or relieve these
symptoms, and may also
provide relief from the symptoms
of restless legs and fibromyalgia.
You’re experiencing stress, mood
problems or sleeping difficulties
High levels of stress can lead to magnesium
depletion, especially if the pressure you’re
under is particularly intense or persists for
an extended period of time.
In a vicious cycle, magnesium
deficiency can interfere with your normal
biorhythms and the excitability of your
nervous system, which in turn can disrupt
your sleeping patterns and play havoc with
your moods.
Magnesium supports healthy moods,
and taking a magnesium supplement
during times of stress may help to relieve
nervous tension, mild anxiety and
irritability.
Magnesium also enhances restful
sleep. For instance, in a study
involving older people with
insomnia, taking magnesium
supplements for four weeks
helped them fall asleep
faster, stay asleep longer,
and be less prone to waking
in the early morning.
You’re overweight
People who are overweight
or obese tend to consume lower
quantities of magnesium than those
whose weight is in a healthier range.
Since magnesium plays an important
role many metabolic functions, taking
a magnesium supplement to correct
this deficiency may help people who
are overweight but otherwise healthy to
maintain healthy blood sugar balance, and
may also have beneficial effects on their
maintenance of healthy blood cholesterol
and blood pressure.
H E A LT H R E P O R T
Choosing a
magnesium suppleme
nt
You get migraines
Studies have shown
that people who get
migraines often have low
levels of magnesium, and women
whose migraines tend to correlate with
their menstrual cycle are particularly
likely to be affected.
Taking a magnesium supplement may
help reduce the frequency and duration of
migraines.
You get PMS or period pain
The blood cells of women who experience
premenstrual syndrome (PMS) contain
lower levels of magnesium than
those of other women, and
studies have shown that taking
a magnesium supplement
(especially when combined
with vitamin B6) may help
relieve symptoms such as
cravings, fluid retention
and mood changes, as well
as being effective against
period pain.
You’re over 65 years old
Research from the Australian Bureau of
Statistics (ABS) indicates that the diets of
many older Australians don’t supply the
recommended quantities of magnesium.
Half of all Australian men over 65
Not all magnesium su

years old consume threequarters or less of their
recommended dietary
intake (RDI) of 420mg
per day, and half of all
women of the same
age consume less than
80 per cent of their RDI
(320mg per day).
The diets of people living
in nursing homes, hostels and
other forms of residential care are
considered particularly likely to be
magnesium deficient, but those living in
their own homes are also affected.
Since magnesium is involved in such a
wide variety of body processes, correcting
any imbalance
mbalance that’s present may have
far-reaching effects on your health and
wellbeing.
For example, in recently published
research, older women participating in a
gentle exercise program who took a
magnesium supplement for several
months experienced improvements in a
range of aspects of physical performance
that have an impact on day-to-day quality
of life, including walking speed and their
ability to stand up after sitting in a chair.

Niulife DME®
Extra Virgin
Coconut Oil
now in glass
Responding to feedback from customers,
Niulife now packs their DME® extra
virgin coconut oil (fairly traded from the
South Pacific) in handy 500ml and 1L
glass jars that reflect the premium quality
product inside. DME refers to the direct
micro expelling process that takes less
than an hour to turn selected mature
fresh coconuts into delicious hand
pressed extra virgin coconut oil. This
award-winning process uses Australian
technology, developed by Niulife, that
locks in the flavour and the beneficial
properties of the coconut oil, all
without the use of chemicals.
Niulife DME® extra virgin coconut oil
is renowned for its exceptional
taste. It is 100 per cent certified
organic, cold pressed and unrefined
– so there is no copra, no refining,
bleaching or deodorising, no
hydrogenation, no trans-fats,
no hexane and no GMO.
It’s an alcohol, paraben, sulphate and preservative-free
formula, a non-aerosol pack and not tested on animals.
Check out the new environmentally friendly 28g refill
packs so you can mix colours for a perfect match.
Available in five beautiful shades.
