Most people think that getting arthritis, having minor or major surgeries, taking loads of medications, are just part of getting older. In this article I will explain why nothing could be further from the truth. It makes me sad that almost 180.000 people die each year from prescription drugs and hospital accuired infections, when most of these patients do not have to die. So instead of starting to plan your funeral I suggest you start by adding things that will add more years to your life.
One of the first things to start with is exercise. And it doesn't have to be rigorous exercise either, it could be just walking 20-30 minutes three times a week. But exercise has been found to boost your immune system and decrease depression. And it's the only way your lymphatic system can get rid of toxins. Form a group with some friends, make it fun, instead of something tedious. The benefits will amaze you. Best of all it's totally free. If you have moderate to severe arthritis you may have to do step 2 and 3 first. Many supplements can help halt or even reverse the aging process. A recent best selling book about arthritis claims that Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondrotin Sulfate can help. However I have become aware of new information that Chonrotin Sulfate is only 8% absorbable and that Glucosamine Hydrocloride is more pure, cheaper and over 90% being absorbed compared to Glucosamine Sulfate. Cetyl Myristoleate(CMOä) a completely safe nutrient, discovered more than 35 years ago has been found effective in treating osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis and even gouty arthritis. Not all cetyl myristoleate product are created equal, the most effective seems to be a product called Collastin, which is a mixture of cetyl myristoleate and other fatty acid esters. Collastin has three benefits, it acts as a surfactant that loosens tight joints and tissues, works as a anti-inflammatory and as a immune system regulator that calms down hyper-immune responses and regulates immune systems that are not working at optimal levels. All very essential when combating arthritis. Manganese , Zinc, Ester C has also been found effective in joint repair. Boswellinä and Sea cucumber are also excellent anti-inflammatory nutrients but also helps repair damaged tissues in arthritic joints. Last but not least, probably the most effective weapon in combating arthritis and the effects of old age is chiropractic. Chiropractic is not a treatment for arthritis, but if you have arthritis I strongly urge you to have your spine checked for spinal nerve stress (interference in the nervous system) by a chiropractor. Spinal nerve stress damages the nervous system, stresses the immune system, puts the body in a weakened state and can set the stage for sicknesses and diseases of all kinds - arthritis included. Chiropractors are specially trained to analyze and remove spinal nerve stress from the body. Research has shown that most patents with arthritis have severe spinal misalignments and that over 90% of arthritis sufferers improves w ith chiropractic care. Dr. Jens Korgaard is practicing in Newington and specializes in chiropractic techniques that are very gentle, fast to perform and are actually quite relaxing.
