Arthritis - A Chronic Illness that Impacts a Person's Entire
Lifestyle
Introduction
In its publication titled "Help Your Arthritis Treatment Work" the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that: "There is no cure for arthritis.
But correct treatment can ease pain and stiffness." "If you have arthritis,
the doctor may prescribe a medicine for you or tell you to use a medicine
you buy without a prescription, like aspirin.
Arthritis means inflammation of the joint; it causes redness, warmth, swelling
and pain. The general term arthritis refers to more than 100 different rheumatic
diseases. As of June 1997, it was reported that one in every seven Americans
had some form of arthritis. The incidence of this disease will continue to
increase as baby boomers age. The most common types of arthritis are:
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spinal arthritis, and gout.
How effective are medical treatments for arthritis?
Many forms of arthritis are autoimmune diseases that are debilitating,
disfiguring, and sometimes lethal. The immune system of some individuals
appears to make a mistake and attempts to destroy certain tissues of the
body as if they were the invaders (antigens) it is meant to destroy and remove.
Doctors should closely monitor patients that are taking drugs that slow the
disease process of autoimmune diseases or suppress the immune system. More
than one medication may be prescribed by a doctor for treating arthritis.
At this time, there is no known cure for arthritis!
The article titled "Arthritis: Alternative Trearments", published in Health
Line by Brent Hauver states "160,000 Americans died last year from adverse
reactions to prescription drugs. 18 million more suffered toxic side effects
from drugs prescribed to them and Arthritis medication tops the chart; in
fact there are more people who die from reactions to Arthritis medications
than any other drug (legal or illegal!)".
Are there alternative treatments for arthritis?
The FDA does not recognize the effectiveness of any diets, health foods or
supplements for treating arthritis. However, there is a significant amount
of technical information available which state that there are alternative
treatments that may provide relief from damages caused by arthritis. The
Internet is a good source for such information.
Certain nutrients which include Chondroitin sulfate, CMO (Cetyl Myristoleate),
Glucosamine sulfate and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) are believed to:
• Support the maintenance and repair of bone, joints, ligaments,
connective tissue, and cartilage.
• Alleviate the inflammation and pain associated with arthritis.
• Act as a lubricating oil found in synovial fluids in the joints.
• Detoxify the body.
• Act as immune system modulators by suppressing over activity of
the immune system.

N-Acetyl-Glucosamine (NAG) is
the body’s precursor to hyaluronic
acid, which is part of the synovial
fluid that lubricates joints. NAG is
produced in the intestinal tract via
specialized cells called goblet cells
that are responsible for producing
the body’s mucin (or mucosal
lining). Glucosamine is produced
naturally in the body and it is a
key building block for making
cartilage. The compounds that
combine to form glucosamine are
necessary for the construction and
maintenance of virtually all
connective tissues and lubricating
fluids in the body: tendons,
ligaments, cartilage, bone matrix,
skin, joint fluid, intestinal lining,
and mucous membranes. N-acetyl-
Glucosamine is the superior form
of glucosamine for joint and
intestinal tissue.
