It seems the diagnosis of arthritis is becoming more common by the day. It’s estimated that 78% of the adult population has arthritis. But what exactly is it?
Joint inflammation. That is exactly what the word means. Itis means inflammation and arthro means joint. So any sprained ankle can be said to have arthritis. But the real question is what is chronic arthritis and how can you get rid of it.
The first step is to get rid of the inflammation. And the best way to do that is to stop eating hydrogenated trans fat. Read your labels. Look for ingredients that say partially hydrogenated soybean oil and so on. These compounds are altered fats, which are basically plastic. It takes 6 months to flush trans fat out of the body tissues. However, it takes 1 to 10 years to get rid of the trans fats in the brain. Hmmm, I’ll have to write another article on that.
Get these fats out of your body and get good fats in like omega-3 oils. These are most commonly found in fish oil capsules and flax seed oil. Contact us for our recommended source. DO NOT go to a store and buy fish oils. You’re better off not taking any at all. The supplement business is tricky and not regulated very well.
The second step is to get your liver under control. Yep, your liver. Your liver uses sulfur to get rid of nasty compounds and detoxify. Well, there are over 86,000 chemicals in active production in North America last time I checked, and only a small amount have ever been tested. Bottom line is that you are extremely toxic until proven otherwise.
So what does this have to do with your joints? Simple. The liver uses up it’s sulfur reserves because you are incredibly toxic. The next readily available store of sulfur is in your joints (it helps bind water). The liver steals the sulfur to get rid of the harmful chemicals making your joints crusty due to lack of water. Your brain basically sacrifices your joints to protect the rest of the body. Smart if you ask me.
And finally we have to deal with the blood sugar issue. It takes blood sugar (glucose) to make cartilage. All that pop, refined food, candy, white bread, etc. that you are eating is putting a tremendous stress on your pancreas. Sure you might not have diabetes…yet, but you end up not making very healthy cartilage. So put glucose and sulfur together and you get……
glucosamine sulfate
Ever heard of it? I bet you have. Many people swear by it for their joint pain. But here is the real truth. It’s just one gigantic band-aid. Your joints feel good, but your body is still toxic, your blood sugar is out of control and your brain is inflamed from the hydrogenated fats you eat. You’ve effectively turned off your warning signal and are now going to get something usually much worse such as a heart attack, Alzheimer’s, cancer, etc.
