Probably not!!! With warm weather coming into full season in our part of the world the Orthopedists begins a heavy season of injuries. Most of them come from people suddenly deciding they need lots of exercise and outdoor recreation. With that come a lot of prescriptions to alleviate that pain and swelling of joints and/or tendon and muscle damage. Not only summer injuries create problems but bone and joint problems – a multitude of reasons - is at the top of the list of causes of disability in the U.S.. Sadly our chemical laden medical world treats symptoms not problems therefore are not helping the problem. According to medical experts one in seven people are experiencing joint problems. For those over 65 years of age it soars to 80% of people plagued with joint problems. There are several reasons for these problems. Those are traumatic overuse or underuse of the joints as well as poor diet, bacterial infection or virus, immune deficiency factors and heredity all playing a role. Post World War II the pharmaceutical industry began to try to mimic herbal medications by reproducing chemical drugs with the properties that had in the past, in their natural state, rebuilt the bones and joints thereby alleviating the problem. But their attempt has been a dismal failure and creates more problems than they solve. Of course that industry has tried to please the Fast Food mentality that now exists, by giving fast pain relief without curtailing the problem causing the pain! The last few years has seen drugs like Vioxx and the likes of vioxx come on the market with devastating results and creating more problems than they help. Then being taken off the market but only after devastating illness, death and heart problems occurred from them… Yet the pharmaceutical world continues with the propaganda that they are helping joints, bones and tendons, when they are really destroying them along with other parts of the body! Basic science tells us that our body regenerates itself when given the proper tools to do so, but that has long been forgotten and is rarely to never taught in our medical schools. History also teaches that the proper nutrition can repair our bodies as well. That too is being ignored by the bulk of physicians and scientists. If regeneration was truly taught by our medical schools the pharmaceutical companies could not sell so many chemical laden body-destroying drugs, which line their pockets with wealth. So it’s no mystery to me why they would not make something that works, it would drain their coffers? Whether anyone wants to believe it or not medicine is a business to those training our doctors! Those who take their drugs must also bear some of the blame! A sedentary lifestyles contributes to pain of joints and bones sufferers or a sudden overexertion to a normally sedentary body. The stiffness and soreness, due to inactivity, frequently start as minor symptoms. Before too long, if not exercised the stiffness leads to agonizing symptoms, which stop any kinds of movements and propels you to the doctor’s office. Where the rule to regeneration is broken by the medical treatments offered. Exercise has proven to regenerate the bones and joints but our society has been brain washed to think that pain should stop you from moving! So the get up and move, when joint pain hits in order to rebuild them, no longer exists as in past generations! Diet is another factor, especially as we age, more commonly poor eating habits are found among people with joint and bone problems. A diet lacking in fruits, vegetables, a balance of minerals and omega-3 and omega-6 fats can lead to the production of sticky, watery joint fluid that is unable to properly nourish cartilage and other joint structures or flush out the toxins that build up. It is important for people with joint and bone problems to eat whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts and drink plenty of clean, clear chemical-free water. Take daily food supplements, especially minerals, vitamins and Omega 3 laden fish or flax-seed oil, which will help rebuild the immune system and help to absorb the nutrients your body does consume in your diet! A real and dangerous thing is happening in our medical world! Have you ever known a person taking medications such as the common NSAID’s (ibuprofen, aspirin, Aleve, Motrin, etc.) to regenerate their bones and completely cure the problem? NOT! it does not happen! In the twenty years I worked in medical offices I only saw a downhill spiraling of health problems that can only be attributed to the drugs prescribed for an initial health problem. On the other hand I have seen people go off all NSAID’s and corticosteroids and regain total regeneration of their joints and bones, without a prescription! Myself and I and my best friend included in that group. Unfortunately traditional drugs play a major role in the continuing decline of the joints and muscles. Once requiring a prescription but can now be purchased over the counter to the tune of millions of dollars lining the drug companies pockets. If you are taking one of these: Aspirin – Orudis – Ibuprofen – Tandearil – Aleve – Rufen – Bufferin – Datril – Indocin – Nuprin – Asolid – Liquipen – Nafon – Butazolidin - Tylenol – Oxalid – Advil – Tolectin – Excedrin –IB – Clinoril – Midol 2000. You are unknowingly headed into a downhill decline. Warning: None of the above should be taken in conjunction with herbal/nutritional supplements! Although you may initially relieve the pain and cover the symptoms with prescription or over-the-counter meds you are accelerating cartilage damage and worsening your condition. You may also begin experiencing any or several of the following. Headaches, Diarrhea or Constipation, Drowsiness, Sore throat, Sensitivity to sunlight, Dizziness, Ulcers, Ringing in the ears, Nervousness, Kidney/urinary problems, Swelling of hands/feet, Cramps nausea, Rashes, Hypertension, Weight gain and colds. All are COMMONLY KNOWN SIDE EFFECTS from these drugs. Then one of the major side effects noted only by the hospitals, is death. More than 10,000 people die yearly from the side effects of these drugs with hundreds of thousands hospitalized. The JAMA (Journal of American Medicine Association) documented. Your body was made to take in food -- not chemicals. Drugs are unnatural to the body and create poisons to deplete the system of nutrients, which destroy the body. They may also subdue pain temporarily but these drugs are damaging to you. Clinical tests have shown that arthritis and rheumatism are the result of various nutritional deficiencies, but when was the last time your doctor told you that your diet could make you healthier? In order for the body to repair itself it must be fed the building blocks that can restore it to the natural state. Along with proper diet and exercise there are much-needed nutrients and herbs that can regenerate and restore joints and bones when taken over a period of time. True chemicals tend to give you that “right now good feeling” that this generation goes for but in the long run is ruining any chance of regeneration and contributing to your downward spiraling health. I wish you all good
health and a long life to enjoy it! |
