\r\n \r\n Arthritis simply means inflammation of a joint and its a basket case diagnosis.. something a doc will put on an ICD form when he knows not the cause but still wants to get paid. There are many causes. Each person must seek out the cause in their individual case to find the cure. Misalignments are a well known causes amongsts chriopractors and traditional osteopaths, and of course physical therapist... as well as massage therapists.
\n
\nGo to a medical doctor and you will get a drug to take for the rest of your life. Go elsewhere and you may find your cause and cure. \r\n

\r\n \r\n I\'m in my late 50\'s, and I JUST noticed some discomfort in my knees after a treadmill workout. I have to mention that I wasn\'t really exercising on a regular basis until around a year ago. I try to consider my age, my past activity, and just feel good to continue my Omega 3\'s, glucosamine, msm, magnesium, etc. I have heard many kids in their 20\'s complain of soreness after exercise, it\'s very normal in my opinion. I don\'t consider it \'arthritis\' yet, just expected reaction to exercise or overuse.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I have arthritis in both knees....I never need a weather man to tell me when it\'s going to rain.
\nMy knees tell me first at least 2 days in advance.
\nHowever, as long as I eat my ultra hot cayenne pepper powder daily, I experience NO pain. \r\n

\r\n \r\n Poorly constructed shoes, or improperly sized shoes, are often the culprit in knee problems which develop as we age. A sturdy shoe which provides proper support, not only in the sole but on the sides of the shoe, can make a wonderful difference. If our feet are not aligned properly, there is a domino effect which eventually causes problems with ankles, knees, hips and lower back.
\n
\nOur feet change size and shape as we age. It is a good idea to have one\'s foot measured every couple of years, when buying new shoes. Gaining and losing weight also affect shoe size.\r\n

\r\n \r\n By the way, arnica cream/gel rubbed into your knee should be helpful. A combination of oral arnica tablets and topical use of the cream or gel will produce the best results. Arnica does a wonderful job of reducing inflammation.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Foods can trigger rheumatoid arthritis. (I\'ve had rheumatoid all of my life. Certain vegetables and fruits are poison for me-' + '-make me very sick.) In this situation, for Saved 1986, foods would not be a trigger factor. If his knee problem is arthritis, it is not rheumatoid. Personally, I don\'t think it is arthritis, but I think osteo arthritis could develop if the cause is not corrected.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Thousands of people have been able to easily reverse arthritis pain and disease conditions by eliminating the consumption of animal products. It usually takes about a week to notice a big difference. The vegan diet has proven to be a very effective way to combat the disease and get off medication.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Although not vegan, I had been a non-meat eater for several years, when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid. After fourteen years of no meat, I resumed eating meat. People told me my body would go nuts from going back to meat eating. I noticed no problem from the dietary change. My digestive system did not react, nor did my arthritis. However, my energy level did increase.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Well arthritis is no simple matter and the causes can be widely varried from person to person. RA is quite different from osteoarthritis in cause and in symptom aggravation. I believe mine to be started with a Measles vaccine that damaged some cellular programing because I\'ve been dealing with RA symptoms intermittantly ever since. For some people just a shift in weather can get them going, for others its diet, or dehydration, or other physical or joint stresses
\n
\nI have found a number of things that help me and help almost immediately:
\n
\nCMO
\nSerrapeptase
\nWobenzyme or equal
\n
\nThe two things that did not help me was Homeopathy and Acupuncture... but they certainly are known to help other people.
\n
\nI have been interviewing a doctor who is a DC and an NMD. When you go to his office it is filled with binders with patient testimonials and clinical case studies on his patients with osteoarthritis. Before and after x-rays are provided as well as letters from the patients. All the patient reviewed in the binders were previously scheduled for knee replacement as the joint deterioration was down to bone on bone. The x-rays showed full regeneration of cartlige between bones after treatment.
\n
\nThe therapy consisted of injections of homeopathic remedies, nutrients and ozone into the joint spaces over the period of about 6 months.... all the patients had been over 50 years old.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Researchers have concluded that boron mineral has a place in prevention and the treatment of arthritis. Sincethose with arthritis are more likely to have significant bone loss, let\'s look at this aspect of the mineral first. Could it be that a lack of this trace mineral underlies both arthritis and Osteopenia? If so, this information is really important.
\nPublished studies go back to 1963. See studies here https://www.osteopenia3.com/Boron-Osteoporosis.html
\n
\n
\nI have and am still trying this with Twenty Mule Team Borax. https://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/borax.html
\n Taken internally: Try 1/8 teaspoon to 1/4 teaspoon of borax in one liter of water/day. You just drink this water throughout the day. If it runs out then drink just normal water, with some magnesium added if possible. Magnesium is found in certain seeds such as sunflower. They seem to be synergistic with the vitamin D as vitamin D promotes calcium and the body needs to balance both magnesium and calcium to an ideal amount.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Boron is found in fruits and vegetables, especially apples, pears, and carrots. Other sources of boron are soy, prunes, raisins, almonds, rose hips, peanuts, hazelnuts, dates and honey. Our bodies utilize boron as a trace mineral, needing only 2-3mgs. per day.\r\n
