The general explanation for the cause of arthritis is that over time,
our joints simply wear out - that is, the cartilage that lubricates the
ends of the bones simply gets worn thinner and thinner until one bone
wars directly on another, causing pain and lowering our quality of life.
It stands to reason that wear and tear is responsible for some of the
damage.It is considered a progressive disease, meaning that once the
symptoms arediagnosed, they tend to get worse. Yet arthritis can be
reversed. The process of degradation and regrowth in a joint is a
dynamic process that continues throughout life. Arthritis results when
the joint does not recover from damage. Most people may not realise it,
but they have a direct influence on the current and future health of
their joints through their nutritional behaviour. With the proper
knowledge, we can prevent degeneration from taking hold by improving our
body's regeneration processes. This book offers natural weapons we can
use to defend and protect our joints from the destructive effects of
poor nutrition and time. This clear, readable book describes the
composition of joints and how they work within the body: how normal,
healthy joints are supported and what can go wrong. It describes the
degenerative diseases that affect joints and explains thebasis of
orthomolecular (natural, megavitamin) medicine from a scientific
perspective. There are several types of arthritis, but they all involve
degeneration of the joints and tissues surrounding them. This book
covers the different types, Including: * Osteoarthritis (OA) *
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) * Gout * Arthritis caused by infections or
inflammation, such as Borreliosis (Lyme Disease), fibromyalgia and
psoriasis * And more.THE VITAMIN CURE FOR ARTHRITIS explains each form
of arthritis and current and new medical treatments forthem. More
importantly, it describes the nutritional approach to help sufferers
prevent further progress of the disease and even reverse it.
