Arthritis is an inflammation of a joint. A pain in the middle of the upper arm for instance, is not arthritis because it has no joints. Joints of the body are found on the wrists, elbows, knees, fingers, toes, hips, and shoulders. The neck and back have joints between the bones of the spine. However, pains in the joints are not always due to arthritis. Other parts that surround the joints can cause pain such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, cartilage, and bursae.  Symptoms of arthritis are pain, swelling, stiffness, and deformity. Certain conditions may set off an attack of arthritis. It may be caused from a poor diet,  an injury, tonsils, infection of the teeth or other parts of the body, exposure to cold and dampness. There are several types of arthritis. The most common forms of arthritis are infectious arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Infectious arthritis, also called septic arthritis, is an inflammation of a joint caused by an infection of joint fluid and joint tissue produced by a bacterial invasion. It can develop by an entry of germs into the joint due to an injury, wound or skin abrasion. Infectious diseases such as gonorrhea or tuberculosis elsewhere in the body may travel from the infected area to the joints through the blood. The infected joint is painful, swollen, red, tender, and hot. The pain gets worse with movement.

Osteoarthritis is the wearing and tearing away of cartilage and joint tissues in the knees, back, neck, and the last joints of each finger. It is characterized by the degeneration of cartilage and thegrowth of bumpy lumps in the joints. It is most common in people advancing into old age. It is caused by wear and tear. The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis are stiffness, pain, heat, and loss of dexterity. Changes in the weather may flare up an attack.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory and destructive disease of the joints and soft tissue. The joints, cartilage, synovial membranes, muscles, and ligaments are involved. It usually begins in middle age, and most often in women. The symptoms include pain with stiffness in the joints of the hands, fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulder, feet, ankles, knees, or hips. After an attack, there may be scarring and new bone formation which cause deformities and loss of movement in the joint. Rheumatoid arthritis may be due to an autoimmune disease or infectious agent. Rheumatoid arthritis has a point of origin in the intestine. It is caused by an over consumption of improper food, poor digestion, and a slow metabolism.

Gout is characterized by inflammation of the joints of the hands and feet especially of the big toe caused by elevated blood levels of uric acids. Gout is associated with certain foods that are rich inchemicals called purines. Purines such as eggplants, peppers, anchovies, mushrooms, tomatoes, shellfish, peanuts, and meat are transformed in the organism into uric acids. Excess uric acids in the form of urate crystals accumulate in the joints and cause pain and inflammation. There are two forms of gout, primary gout and secondary gout. Primary gout is linked to inherited defect in metabolism. Secondary gout is a failure of the kidney to excrete uric acids. The kidneys are the principal organs of elimination of metabolic products. When there is an overproduction of uric acid,it reduces the kidneys ability to keep up with the elimination process. If the kidneys are unable to keep up with the overload, they will dump the urate crystals into the blood. As urate crystals travel throughout the system through the blood, they are deposited in the joints and tissues of the body.

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints and soft tissue affecting children 16 years old and under.

Polyarthritic rheumatoid is inflammation and soft tissue swelling of many joints at the same time.

Homeopathy in Practice

Respect the body’s natural ability to heal.

Every disease is caused by toxins. In an attempt to reinstate homeostasis, the body directs its vitality towards the elimination of toxins. As the organism struggles to eliminate toxins, it produces symptoms. This is articulated through pain, inflammation, elevated blood level, and so on. Therefore, symptoms are an attempt of the organism at a healing process.Do not suppress the body’s natural ability to heal. Doing so, may lead to a more serious internal ailment.

There are four factors that may affect arthritis.

1) Focal infectious agent

A focal infection may be located in the sinus, teeth, root canal, tonsils, or genitals. If the focal infection enters the circulatory system and travels throughout the body, it may affect other organs or tissues. An example of focal infection is gonorrhea in which the germ from the infected genital organ is carried to the joints through the blood.

2) Synovial fluid

A loss of synovial fluid may cause pain in the joints. An increase of synovial fluid may lead to an inflammation of the joints.

3) Acid-base imbalance

When the pH chemistry of the tissue is altered as a consequence of gut dysbiosis, inflammatory conditions may arise. This is caused from prolonged eating of foods high in acids. Make dietary changes by converting to an alkaline diet.

4) Weather joints

Joints may feel pain when the atmospheric pressure changes, especially before a storm. Watch the weather forecast and take the appropriate remedy before the weather changes.

Arthritis Healing Diet

Avoid gluten and dairy products.

Consume almond milk or rice milk, instead of cow’s milk.

Eat a well balanced diet of organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.

Eat chicken, turkey, eggs, and oily fish.

Avoid saturated fats and trans fats.

Supplement with omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Every morning take a very tiny piece of garlic crush it with a knife and swallow with a glass of water.

Take 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar in a glass of water twice a day.

Take a digestive enzyme if you have poor digestion.

Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day.
