Is There An Allergy Arthritis Connection?

 Arthritis is one of the most debilitating conditions in the United States and a major cause of missed work. Unfortunately, traditional treatments are limited and almost solely focused on anti-inflammatory medications, not on eliminating the original trigger of that inflammation.

What Does “Arthritis” Mean?

The word “arthritis” simply means “joint inflammation.” There are basically two types: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

• Osteoarthritis is inflammation caused by degeneration of the joint and is due to chronic wear and tear. Osteoarthritis is most commonly found in the knees.
• Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a more common term for inflammation, pain, and swelling of the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is often seen in the hands, although it can affect just about any part of the body.

The Traditional Approach to Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is considered an autoimmune condition of unknown cause. This belief ignores a large volume of scientific evidence pointing to food allergies as a major cause of arthritis. The correlation between arthritis and allergies is found to be quite significant.

Dr. Theron G. Randolph of Illinois was the founder of environmental medicine. Over the course of his research, he tested over 1000 arthritis patients with commonly eaten foods and chemical substances.

He tested substances ranging from natural gas, auto exhaust, paints, perfume, hair spray, insecticides, tobacco, and smoke to find out which of these substances caused their symptoms.

Various other studies have shown that numerous foods, food additives, as well as foreign invaders like protozoa, bacteria, yeast, and fungus can trigger or aggravate arthritic symptoms.

In the case of food allergies, eating too much of a certain food too often is another problem. “Most people eat the same few foods over and over again, sometimes quite literally ‘ad nauseam’, wrote Doctor Randolph.

In addition, Dr. Marshall Mandell, the author of, Dr. Mandell’s Allergy-Free Cookbook, tested over 6000 patients. He found that foods, chemicals, grasses, pollen, molds, and other airborne substances caused allergic reactions in the joints of nearly 85% of arthritics he tested.

The medical community has focused almost solely on treating arthritis with anti-inflammatory medications, either prescription or over-the-counter. These medications only offer temporary relief of the pain and swelling, but they never cure arthritis. Over the long term, this type of treatment also comes with a host of side effects.

Is It Possible to Eliminate the Inflammation Without Drugs?

Very often it is actually possible to eliminate the cause of the inflammation without resorting to drugs to suppress it. Inflammation is actually caused by the immune system. The important question is, “Why is the immune system creating inflammation?”

What Triggers the Immune System to Create Inflammation?

Anything that triggers an immune response also triggers inflammation. This includes allergies and foods that are incorrectly identified by the immune system as not belonging to the body. Therefore an allergic reaction to a food can result in inflammation of the joints and pain.

What Foods Cause Arthritis?

The body can be allergic to any food, therefore any food allergy is capable of causing inflammation and arthritis. This includes RA, juvenile arthritis, and undefined joint pains.

This is why it can be so difficult for one to recognize the relationship between their diet and their symptoms. Many times, there is a delay between eating the suspect food and the associated pain.

What Your Doctors Forgot to Tell You about Arthritis Treatment

 A car lasts 20 years. A microwave could last 25 years. A human body lasts 80 years. And if you suffer from arthritis, you might be thinking that your body will only last 40 years. But you’re wrong!

Arthritis could now be labeled the newest epidemic to plague all industrial countries. And I emphasize ‘industrial’. And if you have researched the statistics on arthritis and treatments, you would know that both cases and costs for arthritis have literally quadrupled in recent decades. But why is this? Could arthritis pain relief be as simple as looking into our past?

What our past tells us about arthritis pain relief

A close friend of mine grew up on a farm in Iowa and during his childhood, he worked! In fact, their whole backyard was a garden growing produce for the 12 member family’s meals for the rest of the year.

And as I picture a dinner table with 12 hungry mouths, my mouth drops to consider what things would be like only 50 years ago. But recently, I asked my friend a question.

“Did your dad or mom ever suffer from arthritis?” I wondered. My friend reflected and to the best of his ability he never thought arthritis was a problem until their late 70s. Can you imagine not feeling the pain of arthritis up until you are 70+ years old?

But how come we are part of the first generation that arthritis is affecting so young?

Could your diet and activity level be the problem? If you consider how most people lived 100 years ago (pre-industrial), you might speculate how diets and activity levels differed. But what does this have to do with arthritis? Everything!

How Nutrition, Breathing and Exercise Cure Arthritis

Obviously, things have changed over the course of a half-century. For one, our diets have completely changed because of our now fast lifestyle. Secondly, our exercise patterns have also changed in the past century.

Instead of working out with a ‘blue collared’ job; we now take the stairs instead of the elevator for our daily workout. And thirdly, because of our sedentary lifestyles, our bodies are also starving for oxygen which is typically not a problem if you work on your feet all day.

The result of our 21st-century lifestyle! Almost 100 million arthritis sufferers in the United States alone and billions elsewhere. That is about 1 in every 3 adults suffering from one form of arthritis or another. And as gas prices rise so will arthritis cases!

But what are we to do? Fortunately, arthritis pain relief might be simpler than you expect if you watch your diet, begin to slowly work into an exercise routine, and increase your oxygen levels with simple breathing exercises you can do right in your work office!

Arthritis Pain Relief Tips

1. Nutrition!

What you put in your mouth has the greatest impact on hurting or helping your arthritic symptoms. You must begin to think of your diet as your treatment as opposed to satisfying your palette.

The basic rule for easing arthritis pain away is eating fresh and raw foods in their natural state. Stay away from fast foods, processed foods, and anything that is canned. Large amounts of additives and preservatives will wreak havoc on the joints.

2. Working out!

Did you know that you need about 20 minutes of moderate activity level for your body to reach the level to release chemicals for a ‘runner’s high’. Unfortunately, most people exercise for about 15 minutes and never get that addicting ‘runner’s high’ to keep the momentum going.

Start working out slowly and eventually work your way up to at least 20 minutes a day. My friend’s 70 years young, ex-arthritis mother is arthritis-free and now works out an hour each day. You can do it too!

3. Water!

This needs to become your drink of choice in all situations. Avoid caffeinated and carbonated drinks at all costs. Drink 10–12 tall glasses per day.

4. Breathe!

Did you know that those who have poor posture are also getting less oxygen to their body? It is kind of a vicious cycle! But if you can learn simple breathing exercises, you can actually feel years younger and your joints will too!

5. Vitamins!

The average person knows very little about vitamins. And unfortunately, the average arthritic sufferer knows even less! Our report gives a detailed report on what vitamins are essential for rebuilding cartilage between worn joints and which ones are a waste of your money. Are you taking your vitamins?

6. Alkaline vs. Acidic Foods!

You might not realize what foods are acidic or alkaline but you should if you have joint pain. You should be eating a composition of 70% alkaline compared to 30% acidic. For a list of foods please see our report.

7. Deer Antler Velvet?

You might be scratching your head on this but if you know anything about the male deer you know that they regenerate their deer antlers. And the same compound could regenerate cartilage in your joints.

8. Stress!

Finally, you need to play again. Do you remember when you had a little fun and forgot about the bills, job, and busyness? Find that thing that makes you come alive and do it again.
