Cause of arthritis
Fatty acids are involved in countless chemical processes in our bodies and are used as building blocks for certain hormones. Two types of fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) cannot be made by our bodies and therefore must be obtained through our diets. They are called "essential fatty acids" (EFAs), and if we have an adequate supply we cause of arthritis can use these EFAs to manufacture the other fatty acids we need. 148 EFA supplementation has been helpful to many people with allergies, anemia, arthritis, cancer, candida, depression, diabetes, dry skin, eczema, fatigue, heart disease, inflammation, multiple sclerosis, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), psoriasis, sluggish metabolism, viral infections, etc., and in easing the addiction recovery process. TRANS-FATS AND CONFUSED CHEMISTRY Naturally cause of arthritis occurring fatty acids contain double bonds of a particular configuration, referred to as "cis-" by biochemists. The cis-causes the molecules to be bent so that the two hydrogen atoms are on the same side of the double bond. This means the bonds between the molecules are weaker due to their irregular shape, resulting in a lower melting point -In cause of arthritis supermarket shopper lingo, they are solid at room temperature. Fats with either trans-double bonds or no bonds ("saturated") are solid at room temperature. The more solid the longer the shelf life. Margarine is made by adding hydrogen atoms to the fat molecules to make them more saturated, raising the melting point of the fat so it remains a solid cause of arthritis at room temperature, i.e., the margarine won't run all over the table. This process, called "hydrogenation", requires the presence of a metal catalyst and temperatures of about 500°F (260°C) for the reaction to take place. It causes about half of the cis-bonds to flip over into a trans-configuration. 149 Hydrogenation became popular in the US because this type of cause of arthritis oil doesn't spoil or become rancid as readily as regular oil and therefore has a longer shelf life. You can leave a cube of margarine sitting out for years and moulds, insects or rodents, will not touch it. Margarine is a non-food! It would appear that only humans are foolish enough to eat it! Because the fats in margarine cause of arthritis are partially hydrogenated (i.e., not fully saturated), the manufacturers can claim it is "polyunsaturated" and market cause of arthritis it to us as a healthy food. Many other fatty chemicals are also created when oils are partially hydrogenated. In "Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill" Udo Erasmus stated: "So many different compounds can be made during partial hydrogenation that cause of arthritis they stagger the imagination...

By now you know cause of arthritis what foods to eat and what not to eat. You are now considering the fact that you are totally vulnerable to which vitamin to take and when and what combination. Needless to say, the industry is hesitant to fund or publicize thorough and systematic studies on the kinds of chemicals produced and their effects on health." Erasmus also cause of arthritis quoted a statement about hydrogenation, made by Herbert Dutton, one of the oldest and most knowledgeable oil chemists in North America. It basically boils down to this: because of the known and unknown health effects of these hydrogenation by-products, government health regulations would not allow the process to be used for making edible products if it were to be cause of arthritis introduced today. Another 'side-effect' of cause of rheumatoid arthritis hydrogenation is that a residue of toxic metals, usually nickel and aluminum, is left behind in the finished product. These metals are used as catalysts in the reaction, but they accumulate in our cells and nervous system 150 where they poison enzyme systems and alter cellular functions, endangering health and cause of arthritis causing a wide variety of problems. These toxic metals are difficult to eliminate without special detoxification techniques, and our 'toxic load' increases steadily with small exposures over time. Since they are increasingly found in our air, food and water, the cumulative doses can add up to dangerous levels over time. Since trans-fats don't occur in nature, our bodies don't cause of arthritis know how to deal with them effectively and they act as poisons to crucial cellular reactions. The body tries to use them as it would the cis-form, and they wind up in cell membranes and other places they shouldn't be. In recent years, measurements of trans-fats in the membranes of human red blood cells have been as high as cause of arthritis 20 per cent, when the figure should be zero. While red blood cells were used because they're easy to access, it's safe to assume that most other cell membranes in the body also contain these unnatural fats. Trans-fatty acids in cell membranes weaken the membrane's protective structure and function. This alters normal transport of minerals and other nutrients across cause of arthritis the membrane and allows disease microbes and toxic chemicals to get into the cell more easily. The result: sick, weakened cells, poor organ function and an exhausted immune system, in short, lowered resistance and increased risk of disease. Trans-fats can also derail the body's normal mechanisms for eliminating cholesterol. The liver normally puts excess 151 cholesterol in the bile cause of arthritis and sends it to the gall bladder, which empties into the small intestine just below the stomach. Trans-fats block the normal conversion of cholesterol in the liver and contribute to elevated cholesterol levels in the blood. It is found in black strap molasses, citrus fruits, brewer's yeast, meat, milk, nuts, vegetables, whole grains, lecithin, oranges, and peanuts.

VITAMIN C - ASCORBIC ACID Vitamin C is water-soluble. It is found in citrus fruits, cantaloupes, green peppers, and strawberries. Following the change in diet, she was soon playing several hours daily in her seventies and continued until her death. In the same chapter, she also tells of Mr. G. At 65, decades of pain had misshapen his tortured body until his chin was level with his knees. Yet, six weeks later, he was standing erect and working with hoe and shovel. All the result of changing his diet. 102 In "A Doctor's Proven New Home Cure For Arthritis" by Giraud W. Campbell, D.O., Chapter 1, pages 21-23, he tells about a grandmother at age 65. Suddenly, she began to have pains and stiffness in her arms and legs. Her family physician diagnosed it as arthritis. After treatments for one month, he sent her to an arthritis specialist. The specialist said it was not arthritis, but frozen shoulders and sent her back to her family doctor, who said he could not help her. An arthritic clinic said it was rheumatoid arthritis and there was no cure and no help. Finally, she got to Dr. Campbell, went on his diet on a Wednesday, and by the following Saturday, was able to go to his office on her own with no help. She now does what any other healthy woman does. On page 23 of his book, Dr. Campbell tells of a veteran of World War II, who, shortly after discharge, had lower back pains and shooting pains down the backs of his legs. He spent four years as an out-patient at the Veteran's Hospital, seeing arthritis pain them twice a week. No relief, but he was diagnosed as having "Marie Strumpell's" disease, which is also known as Ankylosing spondylitis. He then went to an arthritis specialist who treated him for nine years with medication and injections. It gradually grew worse. He became crippled, pain was intense day and night. His spine became fused solid. At this point, he went to Dr. Campbell and was put on a diet. Within two weeks, pain decreased 50%. His spine was still bent forward in a semi-circle which was gradually straightened so he now no.58 longer walks bent over. If he had had this simple treatment when he first got the disease, he would have been spared years of torment and not become deformed. 103 These are just a few case histories. I give the names of many books in Chapter 9. These books should be available in your Public Library. In July, 2003 I called the Arthritis Foundation and asked how many people have arthritis. The lady said it used to be 1 in 7 but now it is 1 in 3. That means 70 MILLION people in the United States alone have arthritis. Disgraceful. 104 CHAPTER 8 WHAT IS ARTHRITIS? "Instead of eating as much as possible, eat as little as possible." 18th Century - Lueges Carviri Your desire to stay well must be continuous. You need to remind yourself, every time you plan to eat or do grocery shopping, about the reason why certain foods are not good for you. Foods labeled "enriched" means they are first denatured, and then partially restored. That attractive color in food is to make us eat it, but it and words like "quick and easy," "smooth," are really warnings to us that we should not eat it. I believe that people are changing and going back to basic foods. He also cautioned that low-fat diets not based on whole foods might be hazardous: "Individuals who maintain normal or low body-weight by eating low-calorie, low- fat, processed foods, such as supermarket cereals, breads and pasta, are at high risk for EFA insufficiency...compounded by the use of hydrogenated oils, leading to elevated levels of circulating trans-fatty acids..." The breast milk of many US mothers also shows an excess of trans-fats and low omega-3 fatty acid content. Dr Donald 155 Rudin, in his co-authored book, The Omega-3 Phenomenon, stated: "American mothers produce milk that often has only one- fifth to one-tenth of the omega-3 content of the milk that well- nourished, nut-eating Nigerian mothers provide their infants."5 A revealing study was recently published by the Nutrition Research Division of Health Canada. The researchers analyzed the milk of 198 lactating mothers across Canada and found that trans-fatty acids averaged 7.2 per cent of total fatty-acid content, with a range of 0.1 to 17.2 per cent. Further analysis of these trans-fats showed that their major source was partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (that means margarine). They also noted that elevation of these trans-fats occurred at the expense of the EFAs, thus placing the infant in double jeopardy during a crucial period of development.6 Both types of EFAs are necessary for proper development of fetal and infant tissues, especially the nervous system. According to John Finnegan, in The Facts About Fats, the omega-3s in particular affect the parts of the brain that relate to learning ability, anxiety or depression, and auditory and visual perception. They also aid in balancing the immune system.7 A 1991 Mayo Clinic study of 19 'normal' pregnant women, eating 'normal' diets, showed that all of them were deficient in the omega-3 fatty acids and, to a lesser extent, the omega-6s. These researchers recommended that the omega-3 fatty acids be supplemented in every pregnancy, and that women avoid refined and hydrogenated fats during pregnancy.8 A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed a dramatic difference between the heart-disease rates of populations in northern and southern India.9.The northerners were meat-eaters 156 and had high cholesterol levels. Their foot rheumatism main source of dietary fat was ghee (clarified butter). The southerners were vegetarians and had much lower cholesterol levels. Present-day 'wisdom' would predict the vegetarians to have the lower rate of heart disease, but, in fact, the opposite was true. The vegetarians had 15 times the rate of heart disease when compared to their northern counterparts! What was the reason for this surprising difference? Aside from meat versus vegetables, the major dietary difference was that the southerners had replaced their traditional ghee (a real food) with margarine and refined, polyunsaturated vegetable oils. Twenty years later, the British medical journal the Lancet noted an increase in heart- attack deaths amongst the northern Indians. The northerners had also largely replaced the ghee in their diets with margarine and refined vegetable oils. |
