HOW ARTHRITIS IS CURED IN EUROPE: THE CASE OF MRS. GRETA FRIBERG, ENINGNAS
This is a true and dramatic story of human suffering and despair, a circulus vitiosus of going from doctor to doctor, from hospital to hospital, in the hope of finding relief from agonizing pain. This is a typical story of an arthritic, who consumed astronomical amounts of toxic drugs—and only became worse and worse! Happily, this sad story has a good ending!
The first signs of arthritis appeared in 1964. It started with a certain stiffness in the joints. The stiffness persisted and later the joints became swollen and painful. A visit to a doctor and examination showed low blood values (70 percent) and a high sedimentation rate (65). The doctor sent Greta Friberg to a hospital in Boras.
Thus started a two-year-long history of visits to various doctors and hospitals: two weeks, seven weeks and ten weeks at Boras Hospital, and five weeks at a convalescent home in Hultafors. Her condition was becoming progressively worse, her blood value was only 40 percent and the sedimentation rate 90. Finally after five weeks at the convalescent home, the stiffness and swelling in her joints was somewhat relieved.
But in January 1966 her condition again took a turn for-the worse. Not only her joints, but her whole body was swollen. Her doctor told her that the swelling was caused by the drugs she was taking. When she stopped taking the drugs, the pain was so unbearable that she couldn’t tolerate it. She felt discouraged and hopeless. Her doctors had tried everything and she was only getting worse. She felt depressed and wanted to die. There was no way out of her inferno of suffering and pain.
At this point some friends told her of Bjorkagarden Institute. Her husband felt that it was worth trying—she could hardly get worse.
She went to Bjorkagarden on March 18, 1966, and was put on a 17-day fast. “It wasn’t easy, I must admit. My nerves were bad. I was worried and irritable. But after 17 days of juice fasting, to my surprise, I felt great improvement!” said Mrs. Friberg. The pain was all but gone and her joints regained some mobility.
After one week at home (while the clinic was closed) she returned to Bjorkagarden and was put on a one-week pure-water fast; then she was on a special diet for four weeks. After this she had one more week of fasting. She returned home much improved, but not totally cured.
In June 1966 she returned to the clinic and was put on a 21-day juice fast. “After 17 days I felt that finally my health was returning to me. I could do sit-ups and walk long distances in the surrounding woods,” said Mrs. Friberg. It was at this time that I met Mrs. Friberg at Bjorkagarden Clinic and she told me her story.
To complete her cure, Mrs. Friberg returned to the clinic once more on October 9, 1966. This time she stayed a total of eight weeks. There was no. more fasting, only a special diet and all the other biological treatments: therapeutic baths, massage, steam baths, etc. Mrs. Friberg returned home completely restored to health. Now she lives a normal life, swims, skiis and exercises regularly. And she continues with the vegetarian diet she learned at Bjorkagarden, which consists mostly of raw fruits and vegetables, cooked potatoes, and little or no bread.
