It is nearly mind boggling the number of alternative remedies created for the treatment of arthritis. Many are peculiar like the suggestion of filling a canvas bag with the chaff from the bottom of a horse trough, then taking a bath with the bag. But this remedy leaves one wondering if the curative agent is the hay or horse saliva left on the hay. Either way, most people would rather sit in mud, which may actually have more curative properties than wet horse hay.

Because everyone seems to have a favorite remedy, many of them end up contradicting each other. For instance, aspirin has been used for years to help arthritis sufferers because of its anti-inflammatory properties. However, new research has indicated that the drug and ones like it, may actually contribute to osteoarthritis for it inhibits the body’s natural ability to repair cartilage.
 

Improving The Arthritic Condition

It is a tall order to improve the arthritic condition. The most beneficial way to improve arthritis is through diet and detoxification.

It is no trade secret that glucosamine sulfate helps arthritis sufferers by stimulating the body’s ability to manufacture glycosaminoglycan. Glycosaminoglycan helps the cartilage integrate sulfur. Without it cartilage will lose its shock absorbing ability, and its gel-like nature will harden. To help this process of keeping the cartilage pliable it is advised arthritis sufferers eat foods containing sulfur; like eggs, garlic and onions. A spice that combines well with glucosamine sulfate is turmeric, a member of the ginger family. Together they work better than either substance does separately. Not only does it strengthen cartilage, but a reduction of pain and inflammation also takes place.

The ginger plant in general is very helpful in blocking the formation of inflammation. Either fresh or powdered ginger will have the same effect. Once a day, drink 1/2 a teaspoon of the powdered ginger in a cup of hot water, or steep 6 teaspoons of the fresh spice in a cup of boiling water.

Omega 3 Fatty Acid, found in fish like halibut, bluefin tuna, rainbow trout, salmon and mackerel has been known to suppress the immune system’s production of leukotrienes and inflammatory prostglandins, both of which contribute to inflammation in the joints.

To help the bones grow, renew themselves and remain strong, boron should be taken. Boron can be taken through supplements or eaten in plums, red grapes, apples, pears, avocados, legumes and nuts. Many arthritis sufferers are deficient in boron, zinc, copper, silicon, selenium, manganese and iodine.

It is important that people with arthritis boost their intake of vitamins C and D. Both slow the loss of cartilage. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and is believed to protect the joints from the free radicals that can cause damage. Vitamin D is crucial for proper bone development.

Along with things that should be eaten, a few things should be eliminated from the diet. All of the nightshade vegetables should be avoided. Foods like tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers contain solanine which interferes with needed enzymes.

It is also important to eat low acid foods as too much acid in the body may contribute to the dissolving of cartilage. To create the correct acid/alkaline balance it is recommended the diet consist of several raw foods daily. Promolife offers four alkaline water purifiers which will help to both balance this delicate system of the body, and also decrease fatty deposits which will help reduce inflammation.

Along with these suggestions it is important to find out if the arthritis sufferer has allergies or heavy metal in their system. As heavy metals and toxins settle into the body they cause irritation and illness. Detoxification is essential for the removal of these foreign substances. The Renovati is specifically designed to help remove these toxins from the body.

Sweating is also one of the best ways for the body to expel harmful materials. Promolife has far infrared, high heat and steam saunas which cause the elimination of toxins through perspiration.
 

Locational Pain Relief

It is a well known fact that heat loosens the muscles and brings blood to an area promoting healing. A hot bath or shower upon waking can help free the stiff joints.

Far infrared clothing provides temporary pain relief by creating a penetrating warmth in the body. Along with FIR clothing many people have found relief from arthritis by using a TDP far infrared lamp to directly heat the affected area. Far infrared increases circulation at the molecular level, and in turn helps to reduce the pain and inflammation.

The Platinum Magnetic Braces also help to temporarily relieve pain. The magnets charge the iron in the blood which help increase circulation and generate heat.

Promolife concentrates on finding products which will help people relieve their pain. Arthritis pain is one of the most extreme agonies the body can suffer. A cure may seem unattainable, but through proper eating, detoxifiction, mild exercise and sufficient rest the symptoms can be diminished or eliminated.
