Arthritis: A Code Word for More Than 100 Ailments

---

More than 70 million Americans say they have arthritis pain. In fact, this age-old ailment is a "code word" for over 100 conditions. However, they all have one thing in common: swollen, painful joints. And a new case is diagnosed every 33 seconds!

 

Causes of Arthritis:  That's the Big Debate

There are various theories about what causes arthritis. For years, doctors thought it might be hereditary; but new research debunks this idea.

Many nutritionists believe that arthritis pain is really caused by food allergies. They suggest being careful about what you eat, making a special effort to limit: red meat and alcohol, which make it difficult for the kidneys to process uric acid.

• If too much uric acid builds up, the "overflow" travels through the blood and can settle in joints and tendons.
• Before long, inflammation and pain begin.

Are nutritional supplements an arthritis remedy?

Some doctors recommend nutritional supplements as arthritis remedies. But remember:

• no single regimen works for everyone and;
• even though supplements are sold over-the-counter, they are powerful substances, so
• taking too much can lead to serious health problems, and
• some can interfere with prescription drugs used for conditions unrelated to arthritis.

What about aspirin relief?

Don't rely on aspirin (or any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) for relief from arthritis pain.

• For one thing, you'll continually need a higher dosage to get the desired effect.
• Plus, the Journal of the American Medical Association reports that, even in small dosages, aspirin can cause stomach and intestinal problem
• Aspirin can also impair kidney function, aggravate high blood pressure and weaken your immune system.
• It is better to use arthritis remedies like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for relief from arthritis pain.
