Arthritis
This week, the topic we will cover will be arthritis. As many as
43 million people in the USA have some form of arthritis or joint
inflammation. It is a major cause of lost work and can be very
debilitating for others. Although it mostly affects adults,
children can be affected as well.
The word arthritis is derived from "arthro" which means joint and
"itis" which inflammation. A joint is where the ends of 2 or more
bones meet. The bone ends of a joint are covered with a smooth
material called cartilage which cushions the bone and allows for
mobility of the joint itself. The joint is enclosed by a fibrous
envelope called the synovium which produces a fluid, reducing the
friction and wear in the joint. Ligaments connect the bones and
keep the joint stable. Muscles and tendons provide the power
source so to speak, enabling movement. As the joint deteriorates
due to injury, poor nutrition or over and/or under use, a painful
swelling and inflammation occurs in the socket region. If not
addressed properly, the cartilage covering the bone ends
gradually wears away. This in turn increases friction and thus,
inflammation occurs.
This is known as osteoarthritis. The second type of arthritis is
referred to as rheumatoid arthritis. This is a long lasting
disease in which the joint lining swells, invading surrounding
tissues and produces chemical substances which attack and destroy
the joint surface. The most commonly affected areas are the hands
and feet and over 70% of the cases are in individuals 30 years of
age or older.
Natural treatments for the aforementioned can be rather effective
in controlling symptoms but no known "cure" is available. The
most common protocols are as follows: For Osteoarthritis: - High
doses of flaxseed oil - Multi-minerals and trace minerals with
added manganese and magnesium - Light iron - High doses of
Vitamin B12 For Rheumatoid: ** It has been hypothesized that
Rheumatoid is caused by either a virus or over consumption of pork
and/or ham. A vegetarian based diet is ideal in this case. -
Immuplex from Standard Process - Ligaplex II also from S.P.
