Arthritis Alternatives

The first stages of arthritis may be silent; mild cartilage damage typically has no symptoms. Arthritis is most likely to show up in hands and weight-bearing joints, including the knees, hips, spine, lower back, neck, and end joints of the fingers. But it's only when there is significant cartilage loss that you'll notice real pain and loss of joint function. Rheumatoid arthritis can be triggered by tissue injury, infection or emotional trauma in individuals with a genetic predisposition toward them. 

Rheumatoid arthritis is an allergic reaction disease - to a food. The most common allergies are from white sugar, white flour, chocolate and red meats. Although it could be other foods that are causing the reaction. The big pharmaceutical companies want to put a name on a sickness, because once they put a name on it - they can now sell you a medication to fix it.

What symptoms should I look for?

Generally speaking, rheumatoid arthritis symptoms initially include overall fatigue, a noticeable loss of appetite, morning stiffness that will usually last well over an hour, muscle soreness, as well as a generalized feeling of weakness.

Other symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis include things such as anemia. That basically means that your bone marrow is not producing enough new red blood cells. You can sometimes also experience a burning sensation in your eyes as well as itchiness and some amount of discharge. Other symptoms that are more noticeable in late-stage RA is when the hands and feet develop deformities around the affected joints.

Another frequent and common symptom is limited range of motion. This is largely due to the fact that your joints are becoming increasingly swollen and filled with fluid. People may also experience a low-grade fever, and at times lung inflammation can also be present. Numbness and generalized tingling sensations have also been associated with rheumatoid arthritis symptoms.

Take care of your arthritis now...

By providing valuable lifestyle information on exercise and more, you can prevent further damage. If you don't take care of your arthritis now, you risk disability later on and the possibility of joint replacement surgery.

Can I do anything to prevent arthritis?
Yes, and because there's no cure, prevention is your best bet. Proper diet and nutrition are key elements in the prevention of all types of disease, including arthritis.The three big things you can do are 1) work out regularly and stay active; 2) maintain a healthy weight; and 3) prevent injuries to your joints. We tend to think of heart health as the main reason to keep physically fit and keep our weight down. But we need to consider another good reason—preventing arthritis.
Slimming down can also help if you already suffer from arthritis, and you don't have to lose a lot to make a difference. When you walk, your knees absorb a force equal to about 3 times your body weight. So losing just 10 pounds actually relieves each knee of about a 30-pound load with every stride you take.

Foods for arthritis relief

Which fruits, vegetables, meat, or fish should you eat? There are no absolute rules, but the results of studies and case histories suggest that these foods may be helpful: Apples: Not only can an apple a day keep the doctor away, but it may also help to hold your arthritis at bay. Apples contain boron, a mineral that appears to reduce the risk of developing osteoarthritis. Moreover, when boron was given to people who already have the disease, it helped relieve pain. Avocados Cantaloupe: This sweet fruit contains large amounts of vitamin C and beta-carotene, the plant form of vitamin A. These two powerful vitamins help to control the oxidative and free-radical damage that may contribute to arthritis. Chile peppers: Chilies contain capsaicin, which gives the peppers their heat. These vegetables also help block pain by encouraging certain nerve cells to run through their supply of substance P, which they normally use to help transmit pain signals. Curry: A combination of spices that often includes turmeric, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and so on, curry contains powerful antioxidants that may help relieve inflammation and reduce pain. Fish: The omega-3 fatty acids in Norwegian sardines, Atlantic mackerel, sablefish, rainbow trout, striped bass, and other fish may help reduce inflammation and pain. Garlic: An ancient treatment for tuberculosis, lung problems, and other diseases, garlic also appears to relieve some forms of arthritis pain. Although never tested in large-scale, double-blind studies, garlic has been found helpful in many case reports. These helpful benefits may be due to the fact that garlic contains sulfur, which has been known for many years to help relieve certain arthritis symptoms. Grapes: These bunches of sweet, bite-sized fruit are good sources of the mineral boron, which is important for strong bones. Mango: A sweet treat, mangoes are packed with three powerful antioxidants: 90 percent of the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances) for vitamin C, 75 percent of the daily dose of beta-carotene, plus vitamin E. Nuts: Almonds, peanuts, and hazelnuts are good sources of boron, a mineral that helps keep bones strong and certain arthritis symptoms at bay. Papaya: Long used as a folk medicine for diarrhea, hay fever, and other problems, a single papaya contains three times the RDA for the antioxidant vitamin C, plus more than half the daily allotment of beta-carotene. Pineapple juice: is the only source of the strong anti-inflammatory enzyme bromelain. Other juices said to help include bilberry, celery juice, green barley juice, aloe vera juice, and boswellia extract. Green vegetables, such as watercress, parsley, celery, kale, and okra - vegetables and their juices contain phytonutrients which can be instrumental in aiding the body in regenerating cells –a vital part of treating arthritis. Seaweeds Spirulina Barley and wheat grass products (anti-inflammatory and detoxifying) Potassium broth Whole grains, such as brown rice, millet, oats, wheat, and barley Water: Drinking eight glasses of water per day can help battle gout by flushing uric acid from the body. Eight glasses is also the amount most health experts recommend to keep your body moisturized and healthy.

Osteoarthritis vs. Milk   (click link) According to Dr. Mark Stengler the pain of osteoarthritis can be alleviated within days with Sulphur. Sulphur sources  - Fennel seed - chew or make a tea. Coltsfoot, eyebright, mullein, meadowsweet, plantain leaves, shepherds purse, stinging nettle, watercress and garlic.      The main components of garlic oil are sulfur compounds. It has 33 sulfur compounds.  If you take it at night and then use parsley or chlorophyll there should be little if any odor the next day.  Fresh is always best, however you can buy odorless garlic.  Link to garlic and then scroll down to choose your preference.  Glucosamine & Chondroitin Sulfate - They are naturally produced by the body, and in supplement form have been shown to slow and even reverse the degenerative effects of osteoarthritis. Niacinamide -this anti-inflammatory nutrient (a derivative of niacin - also known as vitamin B3) relieved arthritis pain by almost 30 percent and improved range of motion and flexibility in joints. A study on osteoarthritis produced two key results: 1) Low vitamin K1 levels were associated with a greater severity of OA, and 2) Subjects with lower K1 levels had a greater number of osteophytes (bone spurs) than subjects with high levels of the vitamin. The plant-based source of vitamin K1 &  K2 (or menaquinones)seems to have no toxic effects in most any reasonable dose. But the synthetic form (K3, or menadione) has caused some liver toxicity and, rarely, a form of anemia when taken in high doses. It seems best to avoid synthetic forms, if possible. If the individual is on coumadin (blood thinner), he needs to talk with his doctor, as vitamin K can interfere with its effect. Dietary sources of vitamin K, are dark, leafy green vegetables, such as kale and carrot tops, are the best for vitamin K1. Highest amounts are in chestnut leaves and fish meal. Spinach leaves, cabbage leaves and cauliflower,  broccoli, Brussels sprouts, endive, and lettuce are also abundant in vitamin K1, as are olive oil and avocados. A new study reveals that low levels of this vitamin may also worsen symptoms and promote the formation of osteophytes - bony growths that intensify joint pain for many osteoarthritis patients.  Vitamin K can be produced in the intestines and this function is improved with the presence of cultured milk, like yogurt, in the diet, Vitamin K is classified as a fat-soluble vitamin. Coxsackie - Homeopathic - A physician in the town of Coxsackie, NY, found that many who suffer from pain in hip joints, hips, and lower back do not have arthritis but have something caused by a virus.  This is a vicious disease.  It takes a long time to manifest so that it becomes painful but there is, as far as I know, only one help and comes from Dr. Ray in England and is called Coxsakie homeopathic.  Only one small bottle can take away years and years of suffering.
