 Arthritis
in its many forms (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic
arthritis, juvenile, etc.) is a debilitating problem for millions
of people around the world. The problem is so widespread that
an organization, the arthritis foundation, was created to help
educate and find causes and hopefully a cure for the disease.
Many suffer from joint pain and discomfort in their ankle, knee,
hip, shoulder or many other places in their body. Early diagnosis
of the condition is always good good. Sufferers seeking relief,
remedies, and treatments will find no shortage of ways to deal
with the degenerative and chronic symptoms... (continued after

Some studies indicate that arthritis can be "encouraged" by milk which feeds nanobacteria which in turn can cause harmful calcification which increases the likelyhood of arthritis, joint pain, osteroporosis, prostate cancer and other such undesirable conditions. This is an interesting read. Something at least worth considering...
Arthrtitis Causes - Milk Revealed As Main Cause Of Osteoporosis in New Book
by Russell Eaton
Dairy milk is revealed as the main dietary cause of osteoporosis, according to a new book. LONDON (PRWEB) September 16, 2005 -- It had been thought for many years that calcium in milk makes bones stronger, but new research shows osteoporosis is caused by a lack of bone-making cells rather than a lack of calcium, said Russell Eaton, author of the Milk Imperative.
Dairy milk is singled out as the culprit because more than any other food it depletes the finite reserve of bone-making cells in the body. Although milk makes bones stronger in the short term, in the long term it erodes bone-making cells, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. This explains why countries with the highest rates of milk consumption, such as Ireland, Austria, and Holland, also have the highest incidence of osteoporosis.
Growing evidence is showing that far from protecting bones, milk actually causes osteoporosis. For example in a 12-year Harvard study of 78,000 women, those who drank milk three times a day actually broke more bones than women who rarely drank milk. Similarly, a 1994 study in Sydney, Australia, showed that higher dairy product consumption increased fracture risk: those with the highest dairy consumption had double the risk of hip fracture compared to those with the lowest consumption.
"Dairy milk does increase bone density in the short term, but this comes at a terrible price," said author Russell Eaton. "Every time you consume milk you erode bone-making cells, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. The latest research also shows that people with osteoporosis also have a much higher incidence of heart disease and cancer, and the evidence is pointing at milk as the common factor. For example, it was thought that prostate cancer was caused by harmful fats in the diet, but it turns out that calcium in milk is the culprit because it feeds nanobacteria, and this in turn causes calcification and cancer in the prostate."
Research shows that harmful calcification, caused by nanobacteria in the body, is at the root of many diseases such as arthritis, kidney stones, heart disease and stroke. These microscopic organisms, which are present in virtually everybody, get fed calcium and phosphorus from the bloodstream and then secrete calcium phosphate to cause harmful calcification. The book explains how dairy milk is the main food source for nanobacteria, thus causing many serious diseases.
"The Milk Imperative breaks new ground by bringing together the latest findings on dairy milk that turn many preconceptions on their head - by simply switching from dairy to non-dairy milk we will make a dramatic and long-lasting improvement to our health," said Dr. Amy Lanou, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, United States.

(continued from before the article) ...There are prescription
and over the counter drugs and medications (like Celebrex, Celecoxib,
Ketoprofen, Oruvail, Orudis, Meclofenamate, Meclomen, Naproxen,
Naprosyn, COX-2 enzyme inhibitors, and NSAIDS to name just a few)
as well as natural alternative approaches like nutritional supplements,
vitamins, natural and herbal remedies (like MSM, chondroitin,
glucosamine sulfate to name a couple). Diet and exercise are considered
by many to be a significant part of the puzzle. Wow. This can
be pretty confusing... Severe and advanced cases sometimes require
radical measures like joint replacement surgery. If you search
the Internet, you will find no shortage of facts, knowledge and
information on the matter. With so much study, clinical tests
from doctors and medical practitioners, and such broad beliefs
about the causes and cures for arthritis it is difficult to know
what the authoritative answer is. I certainly don't have it. But...
I've collected a broad range of information that I've found interesting
and informative. It's just a start... but we have to start somewhere.
