Arthritis
is a term literally meaning "inflammation of
the joint". There are over 120 forms of arthritis.
Many of these forms are triggered by infections in
the joint. For example Lyme disease, a form of arthritis,
is created by a bacteria carried by ticks. When the
cushioning for the bones, known as cartilage, deteriorates,
bone ends rub together leading to pain and inflammation,
known as osteoarthritis. Gouty arthritis, commonly
called gout, occurs when uric acid crystals accumulate
in the joints. The crystals are sharp and easily irritate
the tissues. Uric acid is produced during the breakdown
of proteins, and are found in meats. Beer is high
in purines, which raise uric acid levels, and all
alcohols inhibit the excretion of uric acid. Rheumatoid
arthritis is an autoimmune disorder. Autoimmune disorders
occur when the adrenal glands become weakened through
stimulants, stress, cortisone based drugs, etc. This
in turn affects the thymus gland, which helps regulate
the immune system. The resulting depression of the
immune system leads to an overproduction of non-specific
antibodies, known as low affinity antibodies, or autoantibodies.
Unlike the normal high affinity antibodies, low affinity
antibodies cannot differentiate between dangerous
foreign substances, pathogens, diseased tissues, and
healthy tissue. Because autoantibodies are non-specific
they can readily attack healthy tissue. Infections
are often associated with triggering autoimmune disorders.
Scientists have isolated a form of bacteria believed
to play a role in the formation of rheumatoid arthritis.
It is believed that the intended target of the autoantibodies
is this bacteria, but instead they attack the joint
leading to inflammation.
Bone
is a complex mixture of substances including a protein,
called collagen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, strontium,
boron, and vitamin K. Collagen is composed primarily of
silica, vitamin C, and the amino acid L-proline. Collagen
gives flexibility to bones, and provides much of their strength.
As the collagen is mineralized, the bones become stiffer,
and stronger allowing more force to be applied to them.
Cartilage is made up primarily of collagen, sugar proteins,
sulfur, and manganese. Because of the lack of minerals in
cartilage, it is more flexible than bone. The flexibility
of cartilage makes it a good shock absorber for the bones.
Drinking
plenty of water is very important when treating arthritis
to prevent dehydration of the joints, and to assist in the
removal of toxins, such as uric acid. Spring water is recommended
since distilled and reverse osmosis waters leach minerals
from the body. If distilled or reverse osmosis water is
going to be used, add some minerals back to the water first
so the water is saturated with minerals to prevent leaching
of these minerals from the body. Diuretics, such as caffeine,
promote dehydration and should be avoided.
Maintaining
healthy intestinal flora can also benefit your bones. Among
their various jobs, the intestinal flora also produce vitamin
K which is important for bone strength and formation.
Proteins
block absorption of some minerals, such as calcium. Phosphates,
found in beef and cola-type soft drinks, displace calcium
from the body. Carbonic acid; from carbonated drinks, sugars,
salt, and caffeine all demineralize bone tissue.
Cow's
milk should be avoided. Contrary to popular belief, milk
does not build bones, in fact it can break down bones several
ways. The high protein content of milk blocks the absorption
of calcium from milk. Phosphorus and sugar found in milk
further demineralize bone.
Also
avoid antacids and acid blockers if you want healthy bones.
Calcium must react with an acid before it can be absorbed.
Acid levels, in the stomach, naturally decline with age,
decreasing the ability to absorb calcium. Antacids block
the absorption of calcium. They can also aggravate or create
certain forms of arthritis by allowing undigested proteins
to enter the bloodstream where they trigger inflammatory
immune reactions.
The
use of painkillers should be limited to facilitate healing.
Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as
ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.), kill an estimated 20,000
people each year, primarily from chemically induced hepatitis,
kidney failure, heart attacks, and strokes. These drugs
inhibit hormones known as prostaglandins which increase
blood flow to injury sites to speed healing. Though this
increased blood flow also creates inflammation and pain.
NSAIDs reduce inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandins,
but they also reduce oxygen and nutrient levels to the tissues
that need them the most. This makes it much harder for the
body to heal. Though they are effective in reducing inflammation,
steroidal drugs can damage the thymus and adrenal glands.
This can make a treatable condition, such as rheumatoid
arthritis, a chronic condition.
INGREDIENTS:
Bone
meal- Provides protein and all essential minerals for proper
bone growth.
Calcium
malate- An acidified form of calcium for improved absorption.
Malic acid aids in the formation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate),
which is the fuel for cellular metabolism.
Gelatin-
Dried and ground bone protein.
Silica-
Strengthens bones, cartilage, and other connective tissues
through the formation of collagen. Enhances the absorption
of calcium.
Magnesium
Malate- Provides magnesium, essential for bone strength.
Malic acid aids in the formation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate),
which is the fuel for cellular metabolism.
Nettle-
Rich source of minerals, especially calcium and silica.
Also an excellent source of vitamin C to improve calcium
absorption, improve immune function, prevent free radical
damage, and build collagen. The vitamin K in nettle strengthens
bones. Nettle is also anti-inflammatory, and removes uric
acid in gout. Supports the growth of beneficial intestinal
flora.
Oatgrass-
Provides silica and vitamin C for collagen formation. B
vitamins, and vitamin C support proper immune function.
