Show Notes
- At a point in his life, Pat literally started to 'slow down'
- He couldn't even close the car door, and struggled to move without significant pain
- He eventually got diagnosed with RA and put on medications
- The drugs brought some relief initially, but the improvements weren't enough
- He started with prednisolone and methotrexate and then added Arava to the mix
- Pat then started to do his own research and came across the Paddison Program
- With it, he managed to get to a stage where he was 'functioning again' and then constantly improve on it
- He found the mix of diet, exercise and stress avoidance was the key to his recovery
- It's more than one year now that Pat is completely drug-free and symptom-free
