  1. Arthritis Irritation of a joint where two bones move against one another.

  2. We have 206 articulating bones moving against each other. Approximately one in five people in North America have arthritis. There are over 150 different types of arthritis.

  3. Most Common Types of Arthritis: • Degenerative (75% of all arthritis problems) • Rheumatoid (autoimmune response) • Septic (from an infection) • Allergic (sensitivities to enhalents or foods) • Toxic • Gouty • Trauma Related

  4. Pain is NOT a medication deficiency revealing itself!

  5. Traditional Medications for Inflammation & Pain

  6. Nuprin Pain Report says … • 46 billion work days are lost each year due to pain • which results in a financial loss of $92 billion per year • Centers for Disease control says … • Pain is the #1 reason why people go to the doctor • 1 in 3 people over 18 have pain • 66% of people with rheumatoid conditions are under age 65 • 350,000 children suffer with chronic rheumatoid conditions

  7. To understand Pain, we must understand THREE Internal Enzymes Cox 1 5-Lox Cox 2

  8. To understand Pain, we must understand THREE Internal Enzymes Cox 1 5-Lox Cox 2 • Cox 1 Enzyme = helps regulate the normal production of the mucosal lining of the digestive system (stomach and intestines)

  9. To understand Pain, we must understand THREE Internal Enzymes Cox 1 5-Lox Cox 2 • Cox 1 Enzyme = helps regulate the normal production of the mucosal lining of the digestive system (stomach and intestines) • Cox 2 Enzyme=Elevated COX 2 means PAIN (therefore, many medications are COX 2 inhibitors).

  10. To understand Pain, we must understand THREE Internal Enzymes Cox 1 5-Lox Cox 2 • Cox 1 Enzyme = helps regulate the normal production of the mucosal lining of the digestive system (stomach and intestines) • Cox 2 Enzyme=Elevated COX 2 means PAIN (therefore, many medications are COX 2 inhibitors). • 5-LOX Enzyme =Elevated 5-LOX means inflammation, and 90% of pain comes from inflammation

  11. Traditional Pain Killers • Most are Enzyme Inhibitors • which reduces pain and inflammation • BUT also blocks the Cox 1 which leads to intestinal havoc & ulcers • Other Negative Side Effects: • ALL have negative effects on the Liver • Most have negative effects on the Kidneys • Many have negative effects on the mucosal lining of the circulatory system) • Anti-Inflammatories (like prednisone) have major side effects on the bones and skin as well

  12. The Food & Drug Administration recently estimated that EVERY YEAR in the United States, as a result of drugs prescribed for PAIN … • as many as 200,000 cases experience experience gastrointestinal bleeding, • including 10,000 to 20,000 deaths, • pain medications constitute the 15th cause of death in North America

  13. Every time an individual takes an aspirin, they bleed approximately 1 tablespoon of blood 1tablespoon x 31 days in one month = approximately 2 cups of blood

  14. “An APPLE a Day keeps Arthritis at Bay” acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) = + +

  15. Turmeric: • active ingredient is Curcumin • Cardiovascular Protection (cholesterol) • Anti-inflammatory • IBS reduction • Rheumatoid Arthritis relief • Cancer reduction • Improved liver function • Improved brain function (anti-Alzheimer’s)

  16. Would it make more sense to understand the cause … and address it?

  17. Three Most Common Types of Arthritis • Rheumatoid • Osteoarthritis • Gouty Arthritis

  18. The Normal Joint • The healthy joint connects bones with a capsule called the “synovial sack” which should be filled with fluid, which allows for free and easy movement. • The tough joint capsule holds the entire joint together. • The capsule is lined by a synovial membrane which secretes a lubricating fluid • The ends of the bones are coved with shiny, ultra-smooth cartilage (gristle)

  19. Rheumatoid Arthritisis an inflammatory response: • is often three disorders combined: • an autoimmune response • an allergic response • toxicity In the earliest stages, rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by swollen (inflamed) synovial lining = limited movement = pain = morning stiffness very common

  20. Late Stage Rheumatoid Arthritis • As the synovial tissue becomes more swollen • it further restricts motion • the inflammation invades the cartilage and the bones • can begin to cause severe joint deformities, especially in the fingers & wrists

  21. Rheumatoid Arthritis: • ... is often three disorders combined: • an autoimmune response • an allergic response • toxicity • Common Underlying Causes: • dirty liver • acidic blood • nutrient deficiencies • allergies • trauma / injury
