Arthritis is the name of any painful condition which affects the joints and which is one of the commonest causes of visits to the doctor.. Arthritis can make even the most simple daily activities such as walking a painful process.

Conventional painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs have many side effects and sometimes may result in a faster progression of the damage to the joints. Fortunately there are natural alternative remedies based on a combination of diatary changes, nutritional supplements and various body and mind therapies.

There are different types of arthritis which affect the bones, the joints and the ligaments. One of the most common forms is called Osteoarthritis which destroys cartilage and can deform bone growth and it is one of the main causes of disability in elderly people. Another type is called Rheumatoid arthritis which causes your immune system to attack the tissues.

It has been found that diet and nutrition play a very important role. The arthritis is affected by a diet lacking vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Moreover the use of excessive fried food or smoking cigarettes will release free radicals that can damage the tissues around the joints. The effects of free radicals can be counteracted by a diet rich in antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and D, zinc and selenium.  It is also very useful to eat red grapes which contain a powerful antioxidant called resveratrol.

Another important factor is weight because too much weight will put joints under pressure. It is important to lose weight and to stay slim and a vegeterian diet can be very helpful.

There are also some herbal remedies which can be very useful such as the following:

  • Boswellia which is a small indian tree has been used for a long time in Ayurvedic medicine.  Research has identified many active ingredients in Boswellia which cause excellent improvements in pain and joint swelling.
  • Curcuma is another substance used for a long time in Ayurvedic and Chinise medicine. It is a common ingredient used to make curries and known also as turmeric which has potent medicinal properties very effective with all forms of arthritis
  • Devil’s Claw is another plant which benefits arthritis sufferersbecause it containa natural anti-inflammatory and pain relieving chemicals
  • Pycogenol which is a Pine bark extract. It is a anti-oxidant with anti-inflammatory properties.

You should also use nutritional supplements such as:

  • Glucosamine and Chondroitin. They help the repair and regrowth of cartilage and are especially useful with Osteoarthritis.
  • Celandrin which is a blend of fatty acids which can act as lubricants and decrease the inflammation.
  • B3 Vitamins supplements are also considered very useful.

Finally it should be mentioned that gentle exercise is very important. Activities such as walking and swimming are especially useful and should be dome regularly.

Doctor Walks Again Without Pain After 3 Years

I read this interesting story on a mail from HSI -Daily Health and I decided to report it here because it can be very useful for people suffering from Arthritis.

Dr. Petra Dance is  a 53-year-old Harley Street psychologist, who up until 3 years ago had been a keen skier, squash player and hiker. But, when she began experiencing pains in her foot, they got so bad that even walking to the local shops and driving became an ordeal.

In August 2009, she was diagnosed with arthritis of the main toe joint, and had surgery to rectify the problem. But the pain didn’t improve, even with the strongest painkillers…

She says  “I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life in this state, so I took matters into my own hands” .

After doing her own research and through professional recommendations, she discovered that the English National Ballet, several Premiership football clubs and even Olympic athletes were all using a device called MicroDoctor Micro current therapy to accelerate the healing of joint and muscle injuries.

Sge reports that “I noticed a difference from the very first time I tried it. And now, I’m off the painkillers.”

I found that MicroDoctor® is a unique little hand-held, battery-operated device, about the size of a Walkman. You simply attach small pads to the affected area of your body, and sit back for a harmless treatment of up to 30 minutes.

As thousands of lucky people are discovering, the results from using MicroDoctor® can be nothing short of astonishing. Using one of four different, pre-programmed therapies, you can specifically target:

  • Arthritic pain and swollen joints: MicroDoctor® is one of the greatest scientific weapons against arthritis at your disposal. To tackle arthritis in the hands, feet, ankles, knees and hips, MicroDoctor® works first to reduce the swelling, wiping out the pain, and then by enhancing the tissue healing process.
  • Tendon and ligament conditions: If you suffer a longstanding condition, such as tennis and golfer’s elbow, Achilles tendon problems, joint sprains and strains, MicroDoctor® provides lasting relief and, in some cases, cures the problem completely.
  • Muscle sprains and injuries: MicroDoctor® is the saviour of thousands of back and neck pain sufferers. It can also speed up the healing process of sports injuries, and substantially ease tired and cramped muscles after exercising.
  • Skin conditions: Recent studies have uncovered yet another amazing use for MicroDoctor® – curing ulcers, scarring, bruising, psoriasis and improving the general condition of your skin.
  • Plus a host of other ailments: Doctors are still discovering new applications for MicroDoctor® by the day! It’s recently been proved to help sufferers of asthma and carpal tunnel syndrome.

I found an interesting book at Amazon called Freedom from Rheumatoid Arthritis: The amazing story of one woman’s recovery (Paperback)
by Sonia St. Claire (Author).

You can read some pages from the Amazon site and I just write below some interesting points:

a) There is a way to bring about a natural remission of Rheumatoid Arthritis

b) R.A is an autoimmune disease which attacks the body’s own defense system

c) A natural remission can occur when the body is fed proper nutrition

d) It is only when you experience an illness such as this that you realize the depths of torment and sorrow it brings. I refused to give up ande continued to live in hope.

e) Due to the chemical components and horrific side effects, I prefer natural products as opposed to drugs therapy,

The book looks pretty interesting and you find more information by clicking the following image
