Mr Mansard

Mr M went to Mathews Whole Person Medicine some time after rheumatoid arthritis (RA) had been diagnosed. Long before the positive diagnosis was made, the mobility of his joints was getting progressively worse. He could neither fully open nor close his hands, and thus could no longer write properly nor play the guitar which had been a life-long hobby. He could not raise his arms above his shoulders and could walk only short distances. He was also suffering, as is common with RA, from enormous fatigue. He also happened to be chairman and Chief Executive of an autonomous division of a public company.

Testing showed that he had problems chemically, structurally and emotionally. Treatment involved dealing with diet, allergies and nutritional supplements. It also involved a lot of work on emotional problems. The treatment was tough in that he had to cut a lot of things out of his diet for a time. He had to avoid things like alcohol, coffee, butter and beef. He had to eat organic food only for a long time. As something of a bon vivant he took this as pretty grim news. He did, however stick to it because he did not want to go where his disease was taking him.

As year later he tested negative for RA. Two years later he was able to return to a normal diet, much to his relief. He still has some pain in his joins, especially in damp weather but he is fully mobile and considers the pain to be very mild. There is nothing he feels unable to do. In fact he does far more with his hands such as carpentry that he ever did before he was ill. He returned because he decided that he valued his health more than his wealth.
