What does one do for arthritis besides holding the affected area? My right thumb, first knuckle, suddenly got 'arthritic'. Holding it helps, but wondering if there is something else to do? Thanks.
Arthritis is not a simple issue with a one-size-fits all answer. The causes of arthritis are previous joint injury, wear and tear, systemic inflammation, hormone imbalance (thyroxin and parathyroid hormone), and leaky-gut syndrome, which in the extreme leads to rheumatoid arthritis with a proliferation of white blood cells (autoimmune response). Each case needs to be evaluated to determine the level of treatment required - a medical diagnosis is very helpful, particularly if level of inflammation is included.
In osteoarthritis, the normal wear-and-tear sort, there is at least local inflammation, leading to vulnerability of the cartilage lining the joint, often with bits of calcium/bone deposits and spurring of the bones involved. The Regenesis aspect consists principally of treating both the affected areas and the thryoid gland. Supplements to lower inflammation and encourage healing of the cartilage are also helpful, but are beyond the scope of this blog. If other signs of systemic inflammation, allergies and food sensitivities are present, leaky gut syndrome must be considered. This can be an aspect of the problem, whether it is from simple wear and tear to rheumatoid. Treatment is discussed in Advanced Level I of the course, but the section in the Regenesis Workbook (basic level) on the intestines can be very helpful. Jim
