Arthritis And Turmeric, A Different Approach - Part 2

Arthritis ... Different approach

Part 2

In addition to less conventional therapies, such as the efficacy of Indian cooking spice, Turmeric, discussed earlier in section 1, some remarkable steps forward have been made using stem cells extracted from our body. This, of course, can solve the problem of our immune system refusing treatment.

As a result of stem cell research, experimental therapy was conducted by a team of medical researchers, led by Professor Frank Barry, from the National University of Ireland, in the City of Galway. Professor Barry is one of the world's foremost experts on stem cells, and he does this by using patients' own stem cells, which are obtained by removing fat samples from his own body.

These fat samples were then separated by stem cells; and, under clinical conditions, the cells have 'expanded'. over time, before being injected back into the patient's body, in an area where the patient's joints are damaged. The results were very encouraging, and resulted in significant mobility.

Professor Barry, who is in clinical research, said, "The results are very exciting, and our strong belief that stem cell treatment will provide hope for millions of patients with Arthritis will go away," he said. who is over 25 years old, and more than thirty percent of retirees. "

Currently, there is no known medical intervention, drug or therapy, to stop the progression of the disease, and most patients only need to be treated with painkillers. In general, further development of arthritis will, in most cases, result in surgery to replace the damaged joints.

One of the most common forms of Arthritis is Osteoarthritis of the knee, this may be because our knee joints often experience extreme stress throughout our daily lives. Our knees are throbbing with stress throughout life; or, when turning and switching when we play different sports. Osteoarthritis can affect the main surface of your knee joint as well as the cartilage below your patella (knee). We are very likely to feel pain in the front and sides of our knees.

If you have severe osteoarthritis, your knees may bend and bend, causing you to walk with drowsiness. Your knee joints may also be unstable so they may affect your weight - this is usually due to muscle weakness in the thighs but sometimes due to ligament damage.

Who is more likely to have knee osteoarthritis?

Knee osteoarthritis is twice as common in women as it is in men; and, when it does, it usually affects both knees. It is more likely to cause most problems from the mid to late fifties.

Should I exercise?

Yes, exercising helps keep your muscles and joints soft. You can take gentle exercise without putting too much strain on your joints. Your joint and exercise protection work together.

Coaching with gentle exercise reduces stress on your joint capsules and ligaments, which can become tense if you are inactive: but remember, tightening your joints can make this worse. Regular exercise strengthens all the muscles and ligaments around your joints so they can provide the support joints they need.

Should I follow a special diet?

Excessive weight certainly puts extra strain on our bearing joints (back, hips, knees, ankles and feet), which is bad if they are damaged or scratched; and, because of the way our joints work, the pressure in our knee joints is five to six times our weight, as we walk. If only for this reason, it's important to maintain a healthy weight. You can do this by ensuring that you exercise regularly; Swimming, for example, is best for people with arthritis because water saturation supports our joints.

Eating a Mediterranean-style diet is good for providing all the nutrients and vitamins we need. This includes:

• Lots of fruits and vegetables

• Many oily fish

• Peanut butter and beans

• Good olive oil.

Some people also take supplements to help protect their joints; for example glucosamine and chlorine, which are available in most health food stores. Supplements in general are a bit well-advised by our body, but you should talk to your doctor about taking them as they may interfere with other medications.

If you decide to try a supplement, it might be a good idea to keep a written record of what they do for you, and to decide whether or not to decide if you see if there is an improvement in your condition.

Lifestyle plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of Arthritis; And, because changing our lifelong habits can be very difficult to do, many people find it helpful to be with other people who want to achieve the same results. Good sound advice can be obtained from any occupational therapy department in the hospital, and they often offer a joint protection program where groups of people with arthritis gather to support each other through learning and training of joint exercise activities. This is a great idea, and probably one of the most beloved parts of the overall program for people with arthritis.
