Arthritis is a term used to describe around 100 similar diseases, these many different conditions are closely linked because of there detrimental effect on one’s joint and joint area. The many guises of arthritis come with there own underlying causes and contributing factors. Although arthritis is common with age, it is clear that the disease is far from being only age related, and is reported throughout all age and social groups.
Over 50% of people nearing retirement age are thought to be effected in some way by arthritis. Arthritis or musculoskeletal disease effects a very large proportion of adults, especially those living in industrialised nations. Studies indicate that almost three quarters of all people over the age of seventy will develop symptoms of arthritis at some point, although less common arthritis can be apparent in children (Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis).
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune version of the disease, which means its re-occurring over a long time. Many people with RA note that their arthritis symptoms change over time, sometimes experiencing periods of remission.
The term autoimmune describes a condition which causes one’s own immune system to mistakenly attack bodily tissues. In the case of RA this metabolic condition is known to attack and inflame the joint lining referred to as the synovium, Inflammation of the synovium causes extreme pain and swelling.
Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The symptoms normally associated with RA, are excruciating pain, inflammation, impaired mobility of the effected joint, in time and depending on the severity of the condition, one might experience bone damage, and deformation.
Symmetrical Attack.
The autoimmune disease known as rheumatoid arthritis commonly effects two symmetrical joints at one time, those suffering with RA may find they have symptoms of the disease in perhaps both hands, or knees. An autoimmune disease has the ability to travel around the body and can attack joints symmetrically & randomly. RA is also known to effect other organs, such as the kidneys.
How to Really Cure your Own Rheumatoid arthritis!
Rheumatoid arthritis is the symptom of an underlying disease, normal modern medical practice is to offer only symptomatic drug relief, which in my opinion can only lead to an eventual worsening of one’s condition, mainly due to the toxicity content.
As rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune diseases it needs to be treated as so, To successfully treat ones own RA, the following elements must be addressed.
* The toxins (many left by drug therapies) must be expelled from one’s body.
* GastroIntestinal problems such as bacterial and fungal infections must be addressed.
* Detoxify and cleanse the kidneys.
* Naturally remove arthritis triggers (even the ones which are not apparent).
* Control inflammation without drugs.
* Expel heavy metal from the body.
* Remove excess uric acid.
* Repair damage to tissue, cell and cartilage, naturally.
* Reduce the amount of excess free radicals in the body.
* The body’s immune system must be returned to a normal healthy level.
* Lose excess body weight.
* Lose excess body weight.
* Lubricate the joints.
Sounds like a tall order?, Then you might be surprised to know that alternative arthritis practices & simple lifestyle changes can address all of the underlying factors contributing to one’s RA, even when the actual cause one’s RA is not apparent.
I’m aware of the dim view that today’s medical professionals express regarding alternative treatments for many ailments, including rheumatoid arthritis, what should perhaps be remembered is the simple fact that modern medicine owes its very existence to ancient herbal & Natural practices. Try a natural approach to your RA it could be our best option.
