Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people over 15 years of age. One in five, or 46 million,<br \/>\nadults in the United States were diagnosed with arthritis. Nearly 75% of people over age 60 will experience Osteoarthritis\u00a0(CDC).\u00a0&#8220;Arthritis is the leading cause of disability over the age of 65&#8221;\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Arthritis\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Arthritis<\/a>).\u00a0&#8220;Arthritis has become one of the most misused and misunderstood conditions today. A great majority of people today consider &#8216;arthritis&#8217; an incurable condition, one which must be lived with for the rest of their lives&#8221;, and the pain masked by numerous toxic, damaging drugs\u00a0(Dr. DG Williams, 1994).\u00a0 However, this is a misunderstanding.\u00a0 Arthritis can be eliminated by eliminating the underlying causes. To get to these causes, it helps to have a thorough understanding of the disease.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What is arthritis?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nArthritis is a group of conditions characterized by joint inflammation and damage.\u00a0There are more than 100 types of arthritis, such as osteoarthritis (a degenerative<br \/>\ndisease of the cartilage and bone); rheumatoid arthritis (a systemic\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Autoimmune_disorder\">autoimmune disease);<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gout\">\u00a0gout<\/a>\u00a0(characterized by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Uric_acid\">uric acid<\/a>\u00a0crystals in the joint),\u00a0ankylosing spondylitis<br \/>\n(affects the spine, and sometimes the hips, shoulders, and knees); and bursitis (inflammation of the bursa, the small, fluid-filled sacs that help reduce friction between<br \/>\nmoving parts in the joints).<\/p>\n<p>Joints are encased by smooth cartilage to prevent friction during movement and help absorb shock. The joints are bound together by ligaments and surrounded by the<br \/>\njoint capsule, and some joints contain bursa sacs that help cushion the joint and reduce friction. The synovial lining of the joint capsule secretes fluid that lubricates the<br \/>\njoint, and when the joint is moved, delivers nutrients to the sponge-like cartilage and removes its wastes. Anything that interferes with this process can lead to some<br \/>\nform of arthritis.<\/p>\n<p>When inflammation occurs, white blood cells release chemicals into the blood or affected tissues to rid the body of foreign substances. This increases blood flow to<br \/>\nthe area and causes redness and heat. Some of the chemicals cause fluid leakage into the tissues, and swelling. This may stimulate nerves and cause pain, wearing<br \/>\ndown of cartilage and swelling of the joint lining.\u00a0 Other symptoms may include stiffness, limited range of motion, boney enlargements around the joints, fatigue, and<br \/>\nerosion of joint tissue.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What are the underlying causes of arthritis?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Toxic accumulations &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>caused by overeating, constipation, allergies, and chemical imbalances, or by exposier to\u00a0\u00a0fluoride and formaldehyde in toothpastes,<br \/>\nfoaming agents in soaps and detergents, cosmetics, mineral-oil products, antibacterial soaps and cleaning products, paints, urethane, pesticides, etc.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>&#8211;<br \/>\n&#8220;The toxic chemicals\u00a0(such as floride and formaldahyde) ingested from toothpastes can cause stiffness,&#8230; soreness, and pain\u00a0in all these joints<br \/>\nalong with weakness in the whole body. There can be stiffness and pain also in the muscles around the joints\u00a0as in rheumatoid arthritis.\u00a0 When<br \/>\nthe nerves get affected by the toxic chemicals, there can be pain and spasms in other muscles of the body too.\u00a0 Pain-killers are put in many<br \/>\ntoothpastes to prevent the incidence of pain in the gums and teeth of users. In the process, the nerves in the mouth are deadened as they get<br \/>\npoisoned more and more every day by the toxic chemicals of toothpastes. Gradually, &#8230; the poisoning spreads to all the nerves in the body.<br \/>\nThe affected person&#8217;s limbs and other parts of the body get stiff and lethargic and, when he moves the different parts of his body, he suffers<br \/>\nfrom the type of pain associated\u00a0 with rheumatism and arthritis&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>(Jaisinghani)<strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Other studies implicate&#8221; mineral-oil products as a possible cause of<br \/>\narthritis&#8230;.
