Proven Drug Free Treatment for Arthritis Over half a million New Zealanders live with arthritis and there is a lot of information available to help sufferers but many of the treatments offered are drug related and these can have serious side effects. Modern research has consistently shown that mitochondrial dysfunction is at the core of many very common illnesses and chronic conditions especially autoimmune diseases including Rheumatoid Arthritis. Reading this may feel a bit like a biology lesson but it helps to understand how the correct treatment can be of real benefit. Mitochondria are are specialized compartments within almost every cell in the body. They are often called the ‘cell’s powerhouse’ because generate most of the cell’s supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is the energy supply the body needs to function. In Sweden, muscle biopsies were taken from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and analyzed for ATP. The results were compared with corresponding values from normal healthy subjects. The muscle from the arthritic patients was notably low in ATP and, the extent of the decrease in ATP appeared to be related to the duration and severity of the disease.
Current treatment for Arthritis in New Zealand is generally through medication:
Dendrites Nucleus
Neuron Cell Body
Motochondrion
Action Potential Axon Schwann Cell
Presynaptic Terminals
Analgesics (pain-killers) which may contain paracetamol, codeine, aspirin or a combination.
There are few side effects if taken as prescribed although aspirin may irritate the stomach. These analgesics only treat pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) & Cox -2 inhibitors – are used to help
relieve the inflammation, swelling, stiffness and joint pain associated with arthritis. These can have serious side effects and should be taken with care. Corticosteroids break down musculo-skeletal tissues and they can have serious side effects.
A new treatment available in New Zealand is APS Therapy which exactly mimics the body’s action potentials. Action potentials are the small electrical charges in the nerve cells used to process information and send signals (impulses) to and from the brain. These action potentials also produce ATP as they travel down nerve cells. APS Therapy has been clinically proven to restore connectivity between cells and to increase the body’s ATP by up to 500%. This clinically proven therapy won a gold medal at the prestigious International Invention Show (Medical Category) in Geneva, Switzerland. The Therapy is widely used for arthritis in Europe with great success and it has no negative side effects.
Proven Drug Free Treatment for Arthritis One of the first people to benefit from APS Therapy was the famous surgeon who performed the world’s first heart transplant, Prof. Chris Barnard. He suffered from severe arthritis and was helped by APS Therapy. He said “With Rheumatoid Arthritis, the use of APS therapy not only alleviated the pain and led to the reduction for the need for anti-inflammatory drugs…it cured the disease.”
Anyone who is concerned about using an “alternative” treatment for arthritis should consider what the “alternative” is Side effects from well known medicines can cause kidney problems, bleeding stomach ulcers, high blood pressure and an increased risk of blood clots, heart attacks, and stroke. Risks of these medications should be weighed up against the possible benefits. People who do want to treat arthritis with prescription medicines should insist on knowing what all the side effects are and do some research on the specific drugs.
Published studies of patients with osteo arthritis show clearly that APS Therapy is effective – it relieves pain and has a restorative effect and there are no side effects. We have verifiable testimonies from medical professionals and individuals from around the world and in New Zealand who have benefitted hugely from the treatment. Even youngsters whose parents did not want their children to be on potentially dangerous drug treatments.
