CHAPTER 30 Rheumatoid arthritis remedies that work
What is rheumatoid arthritis? Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease where your immune system attacks your joints, damaging your cartilage, bones, and even affecting organs like your heart and lungs.
Who gets it? Only about 1 to 2 percent of people develop RA, but women are three times as likely to get it as men. It tends to run in families and most often strikes people between the ages of 20 and 40.
What are the symptoms? |
| Many nutrients, like selenium and vitamin E, act as antioxidants in your body. Resveratrol, a flavonoid mainly found in red grapes and red wine, is another. Making a meal out of fresh fruits and vegetables will give you a variety of antioxidants and help you turn the tables on RA.
Honesty is the best policy
Humbleness and modesty may be heavenly traits, but it pays to be honest about your health.
Women are three times more likely than men to develop rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but they tend to downplay their symptoms to their doctors. |
| You can get plenty of vitamin C from traditional breakfast fare, like orange juice, cantaloupe, grapefruit, and strawberries. And when you're tired of these, try tangerines, pomegranate juice, mangoes, and guavas.

 Gerry: Well, spirulina is certainly a good source of protein, it contains all the essential amino acids, it's also a very good source of vitamin B-12, something that is difficult for vegetarians to get from other sources. And certainly as with everyone, it's a great source of antioxidant carotenoid.
Mike: So, just back to that vitamin B-12, to let people know, that's more traditionally derived from animal proteins.
Gerry: That's correct.
Mike: And as a complete protein, spirulina beats beans or rice or other protein sources that don't have all the amino acids.
Gerry: That's correct. |

 I call it "Vitamin X," and it's a supercharged antioxidant derived from microalgae. It's 500 times stronger than vitamin E and crosses the blood/brain barrier, meaning it offers powerful oxidative protection for the nervous system (eyes, brain, nerve tissues, etc.) I used astaxanthin as part of my strategy for achieving a whopping 89,000 score on the Pharmanex nutrition scanner!
I'm working on an entire report on astaxanthin where I'll go into detail about this miraculous substances. |

 E as olive oil. For more information on macadamia nut oil, visit www.mac nutoil.com.
Another important aspect to getting the right type of oils in your diet is to eat fish rich in the omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, and halibut. While we are encouraging you to eat more fish, we need to give you some guidelines. Nearly all fish contain trace amounts of methyl mercury. In most cases, this is of little concern because the level is so low. |

VII. FOOD INTAKE RELATIONSHIPS
A. Dietary Patterns
Diet is complex and comprised of foods that are usually consumed together and clusters of nutrients stemming from foods. Therefore, although individual foods and nutrients are studied, it is not clear that associations can be restricted to the individual food or nutrient. Whereas the association of colorectal cancer with individual food items is not consistent between studies, the data are more unified on the more broadly focused eating patterns. |

 In America, the term 'redneck' actually comes from a vitamin B deficiency that caused heightened susceptibility to sunburns. Interestingly, most Americans are, today, deficient in B vitamins as well, making them technically rednecks. It also explains why many people are so easily sunburned. As explained in Staying Healthy With Nutrition by Dr. Elson Haas, M.D.:
For a long period of history, the niacin deficiency disease, pellagra, was a very serious and fatal problem. Characterized as the disease of the "three Ds," pellagra causes its victims to experience dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia. |

B. An Alternative to the Randomized Controlled Trial
Before describing a design that might solve some of the problems implicit in Tables 1 and 2, it will be useful to review the major design types, with particular emphasis on their propensity to bias (i.e., what makes them, structurally, more or less persuasive).
1. Minimizing Bias
One inescapable fact of clinical research is that individuals respond differently to any given nutritional state, disease context, or treatment intervention. |
| E to enhance the cytotoxic effects of adriamycin in human prostate cancer, glioma, and HeLa cells; enhance cisplatin, tamoxifen, and decarbazine on human melanoma and parotid acinar carcinoma cells; and promote doxorubicin to inhibit murine leukemia cell lines [118].
Data from large-scale trials with antioxidants are not available, although some smaller studies provide evidence that antioxidant supplementation can increase the efficacy of standard chemotherapies in humans. |
| D.) The model is arbitrary in that it makes an artificial distinction between so-called index and nonindex mechanisms and diseases. Doing so simply pays homage to the diseases classically associated with each nutrient (their "index" diseases) and to the mechanisms elucidated for their pathogenesis. But it is artificial in that it gives special place to the disorder first associated with the nutrient, which, as it turns out, may not always be the most important expression of deficiency. Moreover, it lumps all of the other disorders into a catch-all category of "nonindex" diseases. |

When one considers that the skeleton is the repository for more than 99% of total body calcium, it is inconceivable that individuals whose intakes are below the amount necessary to maintain whole body calcium balance could be in negative balance without losing bone. Heaney has discussed the issues surrounding the concept of a Nutrient Requirement (see Chapter 14, this volume) and refers to calcium as a "threshold nutrient," by which he means that below a critical value, some physiological function (e.g. |

 And the reason for chronic vitamin D deficiencies in the black population is simply that their skin pigmentation is blocking the absorption of healthy ultraviolet light that would produce vitamin D under normal circumstances. Remember: darker skin pigmentation evolved in human ancestors who lived closer to the equator, where the sun was rather harsh and darker skin pigmentation was needed in order to protect the body from DNA mutations caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet light. |

 REPPED: On the heels of a bizarre announcement from the American Heart Association that people should not use antioxidant supplements to prevent heart disease, the Council for Responsible Nutrition has replied with a review of epidemiologic studies that shows strong support for the use of vitamin E and other antioxidants in reducing the risk of major coronary disease. One study that reviewed 80,000 nurses who took vitamin E supplements showed a 41% reduction in the risk of major coronary disease. |
| Another study of 11,000 elderly people showed a 47% reduction in coronary disease mortality and a 53% reduction if they used both vitamin E and vitamin C.
I think the American Heart Association should respond by saying "The only way people don't get heart disease is if they die before the age at which they would normally be diagnosed with it. Thus our recommendation is that people avoid taking antioxidant supplements so they die earlier before they ever get heart disease. |

| One of the most well known is probably scurvy -- a disease where your bones lose their rigidity due to a deficiency of vitamin C. The historical accounts of this mostly involve sailors who, on long sailing voyages, were overcome by this nutritional disease. And it actually took hundreds of years before the right scientist came along and discovered that this was caused by a simple nutritional deficiency that could be cured by eating fruits high in vitamin C such as limes. Hence the name 'limeys' for sailors.
That's just one example of a disease caused by nutritional deficiencies. |

 As far as vitamins and minerals go, the two best defenders against viral infections are vitamin C and zinc. In the world of herbs, echinacea and astragalus have earned a strong reputation as virus fighters. A wide assortment of foods also help boost immune system function: foods like garlic, ginger and onions. In fact, surviving the next pandemic need not depend on vaccines at all. Healthy individuals can survive the pendemic merely by dramatically boosting immune system function and supplementing with anti-viral herbs as well as powerful antioxidants like astaxanthin. |

 In the Daily Mail, meanwhile, in a box accompanying a story by another expert, Catherine Collins, the chief dietician at St George's Hospital, London, the RDA for vitamin C was said to be 40mg with a maximum safe daily intake of l,000mg. Large amounts, it said, can bring on stomach pains, diarrhoea and flatulence, which stop as soon as you stop taking the supplements. |

 We are now realizing in the scientific community that vitamin D is quite simply a miracle-class anticancer drug. I call it a "drug" jokingly because of course it's not really a drug. It's a hormone manufactured in your own skin from exposure to natural sunlight, but this one nutrient is, in my opinion, the super nutrient. It is the most powerful single nutrient found in the human body, because all by itself, it reduces the risk of some cancers by 50 percent. That blows away any prescription drug on the market and anything that's ever been created by any pharmaceutical company. |
| The cancers that I'm referring to are prostate cancer, breast cancer and cervical cancer. vitamin D is extremely powerful at halting the progression of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, schizophrenia, depression, gum disease and even neuromuscular disorders. This is a super nutrient, and the research is finally coming to light as people are waking up to its healing powers.
In fact, the more progressive, forward-thinking doctors out there are finally overturning some of the old medical methodology about sunlight being dangerous. People are realizing that we need sunlight. |

 You don't see crooks in the business of selling vitamin B12 or cod liver oil or other supplements. Why hoodia?"
The answer is pure economics. Hoodia is where the money is. At $300 a kilogram, hoodia is quite a lucrative commodity. It approaches the price of some high-end industrial metal alloys or bulk diamonds. There's obviously money to be made when something can be sold for $300 a kilo and not be considered blatantly illegal (it's not crack cocaine, for example).
On top of that, there is very high consumer demand. |

 Every single study that says "Vitamin E has no benefit" or "Saw palmetto is useless for your prostate" is a lie. It's all based on utterly dishonest science that's carefully constructed for the sole purpose of making nutrition look bad. And the press buys right into it, reporting information that's worse than merely useless; it's downright harmful. |
| Here's a sampling of the headlines you may have seen in the popular press:
No broad benefit from calcium found for women
- San Jose Mercury News
Back to milk: Few benefits found from calcium pills
- International Herald Tribune
Study Shows Limited Benefits From Calcium
- Houston Chronicle
Studies Question Benefits Of Calcium, vitamin D
- CBS (affiliate, California)
Anyone who actually reads the study, however, learns that calcium was shown to produce a whopping 29% reduction in bone fractures for those actually taking the pills. |
