Arthritis- How to Supplement for Symptom Relief -- Carolyn Dean MD ND 

According to RheumatoidArthritis.net, arthritis affects more than 46 million people resulting in disability for 19 million. Arthritis causes more disability than heart disease, diabetes, and back or spine problems. Osteoarthritis (prevalence ~26.9 million), gout (prevalence ~6.1 million), rheumatoid arthritis (prevalence ~1.3 million) in the US. Note: For example, a person who is newly diagnosed with arthritis is an incident case, whereas a person living with arthritis for 10 years is a prevalent case. 

Arthritis means inflammation of the joints. It is a very complex and multifaceted disease. A diagnosis of arthritis is made by analyzing X-rays, blood tests, and findings on a clinical examination. The most common finding is wear and tear on the joints and loss of the supporting padding around and between joints.  

You can develop joint symptoms due to toxicity from processed foods, sugar, gluten, alcohol, coffee, or food to which you are allergic. These toxins can gather in vulnerable, overworked joints or in areas where you have suffered an injury. The only way to find out if these substances are causing problems is to eliminate them from your diet and see if your joints feel better. An overlooked cause is a subclinical infection that targets the joints. Chinese Medicine addresses this issue and says the Divergent Meridians will direct an internal infection toward the joints to protect the internal organs. 

The medical treatment of arthritis merely suppresses pain and inflammation with stronger and stronger prescription medication without understanding that those drugs will cause more inflammation as they build toxicity and drain the body of magnesium and other minerals.  

Historically, the first drug used to treat arthritis and hailed as a miracle cure was cortisone. It wasn’t long before the horrible side effects of bleeding ulcers, suppression of adrenal gland function and thinning bones turned the miracle into a disaster. Suppression of the adrenal glands begins in as little as 7 days on drugs like prednisone. 

A series of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) that claimed to be safer than cortisone were also associated with bleeding ulcers. A newer generation of NSAIDs – Vioxx, Celebrex and Bextra – came under extreme fire in 2005 when Vioxx was shown to cause about 140,000 heart attacks – many fatal. I say that the reason these drugs cause heart side effects is because they deplete the body of magnesium. Ironically, magnesium is the best anti-inflammatory agent you can take for arthritis. Celebrex contains fluoride molecules that can account for its higher rate of heart disease side effects. Fluoride binds magnesium making it unavailable to the body. The resulting MgF2 compound is brittle and deposits in bone, joints, cartilage and tendons creating or increasing symptoms of arthritis. Now we have an absolute epidemic of opioid addiction from the flagrant use of this highly addictive drug. Add to that the addition of the poisonous drug fentanyl to street drug opioids and you have killer combination. 

Menopausal women often develop arthritic symptoms. Does cessation of the monthly period, which serves to rid the body of toxins, mean that, instead, the toxins are building up in the joints? The same might be said for iron build-up and high levels of hemoglobin; some researchers believe that women escape heart disease because their blood is not as high in iron and as thick as men’s blood. Because women lose blood every month, there is less strain on the heart. Donating blood at the local blood bank can be a sure way to thin out your blood and also stimulate the production of a fresh crop of red blood cells. However, don’t forget that proper hydration and a good diet free of sugar and processed foods and drinking plenty of pure water can also keep the blood from sludging and clumping. 

What if one of the causes of arthritis is a mineral deficiency but most doctors, who know nothing about recommending minerals to their patients, will never be able to help soothe or relieve arthritis symptoms in a safe, natural way? 

Our Completement Formulas help to soothe the symptoms of arthritis in several ways: they can alleviate symptoms caused by mineral and vitamin deficiencies, build cartilage, treat pain and inflammation, and help you avoid the potentially life-threatening side effects of anti-inflammatory medications. 

Minerals do their best work inside cells. They pull water in after them to assist in thousands of metabolic processes. If you are deficient in minerals, water has nowhere to go and ends up in tissue spaces causing painful swelling. If you are deficient in minerals you will also have more auto-immune disease, more inflammation, more pain, and more swelling. 

My recommendations include: 

ReMag is a fully absorbed, bioavailable, non-laxative magnesium. Dosage: ½-1 tsp twice per day. This mineral drives 1,000 enzyme systems in the body. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and confers the proper resiliency to bones and joints.  

ReMyte - is a fully absorbed, bioavailable, multiple mineral that contains 12 complementary minerals many of which will help alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis including Magnesium, Boron, Calcium, Zinc, Manganese, Copper 

ReAline - sulfur, which promotes the health of ligaments, cartilage, collagen, and tendons can be accessed in ReAline through the two sulfur amino acids, l-methionine, and l-taurine. Methionine and 4 of the B vitamins in ReAline provide methyl groups to the liver’s detoxification pathways. 

Pico Silver -   As I mentioned earlier, Chinese Medicine defines a type of arthritis that is caused by internal infections being directed at the joints – in an effort to protect the internal organs. Thus Pico Silver can play a major role in helping support the immune system against subclinical infections. 

Whole C ReSet is a food-based, organic Vitamin C Complex and one of our Completement Formulas. Vitamin C assists the body in many ways. It is a cofactor in 8 enzyme processes in the body. It assists the growth, maintenance, and repair of skin, blood vessels, bones, and teeth. It is a powerful antioxidant, essential for wound healing, a strong immune system, helps eliminate bruising, strengthens the adrenals, and helps absorb iron.  

Wondering if this all works? Consider Gracie’s story: 

“My 73-year old friend, Grace, who has arthritis, was diagnosed with trigger finger and she was given a cortisone shot but it only lasted 4 weeks. Arthritis gives her excruciating pain and she can’t use her hands till the afternoon and her hands are so swollen that she can’t even see between her fingers. So I introduced her to ReMag and so far she is sleeping much better. I told her to give it time cause it has been only 3 weeks. Then I told her about ReMyte. She received the ReMyte on Friday and started taking it and called me today, which is 2 days later and told me her pain and swelling subsided quite a bit and for the first time in a long while she can open and close her fingers. I’m so excited for her. The doctors said they could only help her with cortisone shots or surgery and she held off on the surgery because they couldn’t guarantee it would work.”
