Common Forms of Arthritis
PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS Etiology is unknown, but aging, obesity, and joint trauma seem to be disposing. The patient does not appear ill but pain of varying intensity is present and is especially severe after exercise. There is a definite disturbance in calcium metabolism and this is related to nutritional deficiencies over a lifetime, with most of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and hormones involved in the process. There is also a definite relationship with the functions of the endocrine glands. Renal exhaustion from stress is part of the picture. SUPPORT Diet is most important in these cases and should be rich in unprocessed, natural foods which have not been chemicalized in any way. An abundance of fresh, raw foods should be the dominating factor in planning a diet. Concentrated, natural food supplements, vitamins, and minerals in adequate amounts constitute the major therapeutic approach. Dr. Campbell's "7- Day Raw Food Diet" from his book, "Home Cure for Arthritis", is recommended. In most cases, constipation is an associated problem and must be dealt with first.For generations arthritis has been considered an inevitable part of aging. This painful condition causes stiffness and swelling of the joints, often a sensation of heat at the affected parts, and in some cases crippling deformity. Less known are other symptoms including fatigue, fever, skin rash, and heart and liver disorders. Temporary pain relief was thought to be the best one could hope for. Not so any longer. Promising research offers new therapies and remedies, which can control most symptoms, and the future hope of a complete cure. The most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, also known as inflammatory arthritis because it is associated with severe swelling of joints and other tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis is the most severe form, as it is an autoimmune disease: It causes the body's own immune system to attack the tissues of the joints. Osteoarthritis, the most common form, usually affects the weight bearing joints which cause the cartilage in the joints to degenerate. A joint injured through excessive wear and tear (and more common in overweight people) often develops osteoarthritis The most recent scientific research reveals that arthritis may not be more then a stubborn bacterial infection that is out of reach of antibiotics. There are natural supplements that do have the ability to reach infections in the joints. The information in the arthritis categories may help you decide the proper treatment for you. Is it really arthritis? There is confusion between Arthritis and cartilage deterioration. Arthritis is defined as a bone to bone disease. Cartilage Deterioration is really a subject separate from arthritis but it was much easier for the medical community to lump these conditions together and justify using anti-inflammatory drugs like COX2 inhibitors which have turned out to be very dangerous.NEW RESEARCH Recently there has been new research showing a substance called Serraflazyme-Serrapeptas-Serratiopeptidase. The results of adding this product to inflammatory programs is receiving recognition in the medical establishment as possible a slow reversal for arthritis or cartilage problems. Many of our clients are adding this Serraflazyme-Serrapeptas-Serratiopeptidase to our programs with much faster improvement to their problems. |
