52. Osteoarthritis Challenging The Myths Debunks the myths about osteoarthritis including climate changes can causeor eliminate the disease, and that a special arthritis diet exists. http://www.about-osteoarthritis.com/html/myths.php3

Popular Opinions About Arthritis Are Often Quite Wrong Entertainment and "quick answer" news articles offer information that often perpetuates osteoarthritis myths. Here are some of the more common misconceptions people have about arthritis: "Only Older People Get it" While it's true that the majority of arthritis sufferers are over the age of forty-five, even very young children can develop arthritis. Genetic disorders, autoimmune diseases, sports injuries and other trauma can cause osteoarthritis in any age group. "Climate Change Cures Arthritis" It was once thought that a cold, wet climate caused arthritis, and that a climate change to a drier, warmer location could reverse, or at least halt the disease's progression. While increased warmth may provide some comfort, a climate change has no effect on arthritis. Warmer areas of the world don't have lower incidence of arthritis than colder regions. "Diet as a Cure" The idea of an "arthritis diet" has been around for a long time. Many who suffer from arthritis search fruitlessly for a special arthritis diet that will provide a cure. While some types of arthritis, like gout for example, are affected directly by diet, no evidence indicates that a particular arthritis diet will eliminate either the disease or the symptoms. However, eating a balanced diet is always a good idea. And, while proper eating habits may not be enough to prevent arthritis, reducing weight through healthy eating will put less stress on the body's joints, reducing the risk of osteoarthritis.

Bandolier Bandolier Library search Fasting and vegetarian diet in rheumatoid arthritis Clinical bottom line Few trials likely to be bias free (randomised, blind), and valid (longer duration) exist. The results are mixed, but a cautious interpretation may be that there is no evidence of lack of effect, while what evidence we have suggests some benefit. Clinical observation has been that diet may improve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. The biology underlying any dietary influences is not exact. Some food additives are taken by patients with RA. It has also become traditional in some centres for patients to fast, followed by a vegan or vegetarian diet with add-back of foods not associated with symptom worsening. This may be accompanied by holistic approaches involving physiotherapy, exercise, and psychotherapy. A systematic review has examined the evidence-base for fasting and vegetarian diet. Reference Review Only MEDLINE was searched (up to 1997), and reference lists checked. Criteria for inclusion were trials with follow-up information for at least three months, and full journal publication.

Order Arthritis Rescue Starter Pack Now Environmed Research Inc. Many of our readers are arthritic sufferers or have loved ones who are suffering. Some are newly diagnosed and are beginning the search for information and guidance. Others have had arthritis for some time and are disappointed with treatments offered them. Many have read both the orthodox literature and popular books or magazine articles with claims of arthritis cures. Try Diet Revision We think that inflammatory arthritis is often caused by immune responses to food materials and encourage everyone with arthritis to give diet revision a try. There is clash between orthodox opinion and the ideas that flourish in the community at large. Many books and magazine articles over many years have championed nutritional approaches to solving arthritis. The main problem with common diet advice is that book and magazine articles often get the story mixed up and good ideas are entangled with bad ideas. Food ideas are also mixed up with commercial hyperbole and diet advice often is contradictory and confusing. At the same time, advice about diet from the major institutions can be misleading and often discourages any self-directed effort to seek a solution through diet revision. The truth of arthritis probably lies someone in the middle. The institutional advice ignores a body of scientific evidence that should be of great interest to the arthritis patient and his or her MD. We urge the reader to spend the time required to understand good scientific hypotheses which lead to practical, common sense approaches to diet management in arthritis. In the pages found at this web site, the key concepts are discussed.

Rescue Starter Packs An Introduction to the dietary management of Inflammatory Arthritis with the Alpha Nutrition Program We encourage all people with inflammatory arthritis to try diet revision. The supplementary text explains why. T he program is explained in enough detail in the Alpha Nutrition Manual that an intelligent, well-motivated person can follow the steps outlined. Diet revision is an experiment, not a guaranteed cure. Inflammatory immune-mediated diseases, in our experience, are very tricky. The inflammatory tendency in your body will be explosive at times and the triggers can be sensitive. You have to take the program seriously and accept that the rules of the game will not seem fair. Often a food holiday on Alpha ENF is the best way to begin recovery and the Alpha Nutrition program is an ideal way to design a safer, healthier long-term diet.

59. Vegetarian Diet Eases Arthritis Vegetarian diet eases arthritis the effect of fasting followed by one yearof a vegetarian diet was assessed in this randomised, controlled trial. http://www.globalideasbank.org/BOV/BV-223.HTML

Vegetarian diet eases arthritis Summarised from an article in the Lancet (12/10/91) by Dr Jens Kjeldsen-Kragh and colleagues of the Department of General Practice, University of Oslo, and from a report in the Independent by Celia Hall. Fasting is known to be an effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, but most patients relapse on reintroduction of food. The effect of fasting followed by one year of a vegetarian diet was assessed in this randomised, single-blind controlled trial. 'They began with a seven to ten day subtotal fast. After the fast the patients re-introduced a 'new' food item every second day' A control group of 26 patients stayed for four weeks at a convalescent home, but ate an ordinary diet throughout the whole study period. After four weeks at the health farm the diet group showed a significant improvement in the number of tender joints, Ritchie's articular index, the number of swollen joints, pain scores, the duration of morning stiffness, grip strength, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, white blood cell count and a health assessment questionnaire score. In the control group, only pain score improved significantly. The benefits in the diet group were still present after one year, and evaluation of the whole course showed significant advantages for the diet group in all measured indices.
