Arthritis
Arthritis is an inflammatory condition affecting joints by displacing the synovial fluid. In healthy joints, the synovial membrane is thin, the cartilage that covers the bones is smooth, and a thin layer of synovial fluid covers the bone surfaces. If anything goes wrong with any of these factors, arthritis can result. It can appear suddenly or come on gradually. Some people feel a sharp burning or grinding pain. Others compare the pain to that of a toothache. Moving the joint usually hurts, although sometimes there is only stiffness. The swelling and deformity that takes place in arthritic joints can result from a thickening of the synovial membrane, an increase in the secretion of the synovial fluid, enlargement of the bones, or some combination of these factors.
Whether you suffer from Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Spondyloarthropathies; Gout; Systemic lupus erythematosus; Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis; Infectious arthritis; or even Kawaski syndrome, the cause can often be little more than a process known as Autointoxication.
Autointoxication occurs when the body’s digestive system fails to work properly through long-term constipation or other digestive challenges. When the digestive system fails to work properly, acids and other toxic wastes build up, causing an imbalance in pH through out the body. These acids can compromise the lining of the large intestine and make their way into the bloodstream. Once they enter the bloodstream, the body’s defence mechanism deposits them as far away from the heart as possible, such as in the hands and feet. These acids can replace the synovial fluid in our joints, causing an inflammatory condition.
The first consideration in treating arthritis sucessfully is to correct the ph balance throughout the body. We accomplish this through cleansing the digestive system, the circulation system and through the use of nutritional supplementation. Cleansing is best accomplished through a combination of proper nutrition & colonic-hydrotherapy. Colonic hydrotherapy is a gentle means of ridding the body of toxins & acids which quickly eases inflammation, thereby allowing the healing process to begin. Once the colon is properly cleaned and toxins stop building up, the body will quickly begin to remove any accumulated toxins in compromised joints. If arthritis is allowed to continue over a long period of time, irreversible damage can occur. But when treated promptly, all damage can be reversed.
Nutritional Supplementation:
- Ground flax seed – one tablespoon in a large glass of water 1st thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
- Multi-enzyme complex – 2 capsules before every meal to improve digestion.
- Probiotics – 10 billion count after every meal to repopulate the ‘friendly’ bacteria in the large intestine.
- liquid chlorophyl or a ‘green’s drink’ – to help alkalinize the blood and to neutralize acids.
- Zinc – 50 mg daily to neutralize acids
-Omega 3 fish oils – 2,000 mg 3x daily will ease inflammation.
- Superoxide dismutase (SOD) – An antioxidant that protects the fluid in the joints. A.D.O.L.
- Calcium/magnesium – 2:1 ratio in a liquid citrate from is best. Needed to prevent bone loss.
-Whey of Soy protein powder in the form of smoothies.
