● Do your joints ache and limit your ability to enjoy life? Do you have an outlook that you can only expect to get worse as you grow older, no matter what. ● Many individuals rely on prescription pain killers and/or over-the-counter NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs) to get them through the day. Common over the counter NSAIDs include: ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin. Prescription brands are many, from celecoxib, ketorolac, tolmetin to rofecoxib to name just a few. ● Have no doubt, there is a very dark side to this reliance on these NSAIDs and dependence on these drugs are taking a very big toll. All too commonly people experience nausea, vomiting, unknown G.I. bleeding and eventually even kidney damage. More shocking is the fact that NSAIDs are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Over 100,000 people are hospitalized for GI bleeding and of those 16,500 die every year. Moreover, these numbers are very “conservative”. They have not been updated since 1997, and do not take in account the 30 billion over-the-counter NSAID tablets swallowed yearly! This is a horrific “silent epidemic” and getting worse. Just as important to know is that taking NSAIDs does not get to the underlying cause of the systemic inflammation that is affecting your joints, and the underlying cause of arthritis. It’s time you stop hurting yourself thinkng NSAIDs are the only salvation for arthritic pain! You don’t have to suffer, and you can start back on the road to healing today, naturally! ● So how does someone reverse the pain and stiffness of arthritis? There are many different names given to this condition, but no matter what the diagnosis; osteoarthritis, degenerative spinal arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or just arthritis, these conditions come from underlying biochemical changes that lead to increased joint destruction and decreased joint repair. In any arthritis, our natural cartilage synthesis and maintenance of the joint lining called the synovium does not keep pace with the background breakdown of these tissues. This increased breakdown is caused by multiple factors, key among them is increased lack of nutritional upkeep to help the needs of your cartilage and the joint lining maintenance. If this is properly understood through laboratory testing, then nutritional support specific to these needs can be supplied, increasing cartilaginous and joint lining repair, improving the health of your joints, thus relieving pain and stiffness. ● Another crucial factor contributing to increased joint breakdown is systemic inflammation coming from an up-regulated immune response. I find with many patients a primary cause for this is coming from the gastrointestinal tract (GI). Understandably, with over 70% of the immune system residing in your gastrointestinal tract, it is easy to see why a poorly maintained GI condition can be a source of increased systemic inflammation, and can bring on SIBO or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, which not only leads to irritable bowel symptoms (IBS) but also can damage your G.I. lining. This can also lead to a condition known as increased intestinal permeability or “leaky gut”. NOTE: NSAIDs are a major cause of G.I. damage and “leaky gut syndrome”. ● I hope this is becoming clear to you. With this “leaky gut”, bacteria in your G.I. have access to 70% of your immune system. Repeat! NSAIDs are a major cause of G.I. damage, and “leaky gut syndrome”. The bacterial imbalance situation can lead to an up-regulated immune response causing you systemic inflammation and inflamed painful achy joints. ● There are specific laboratory tests to identify if you have systemic inflammation, SIBO and a “leaky gut”. Once identified there are healing programs that can be implemented to heal your G.I and reduce your systemic inflammation. With this, your IBS goes away along with your inflamed achy joints. ● In addition to all this pain, “leaky gut” is also connceted to increased food allergies which I find in the majority of my arthritic patients. I have found for myself and many patients that by using a sophisticated Alletess IgG food allergy test for 184 foods, I can reduce arthritic symptoms, just by identifying, and then removing most of the patient’s food allergies. ● Don’t be a victim of your arthritis and NSAIDs. Want to know more? Google “sibo and arthritis” or “food allergies and arthritis”. I invite you to join me, Dr. Greg Fors, at one of my FREE “Reversing Your Arthritis” health workshops held at the Pain and Brain Healing Center, Blaine, MN on Wednesday, November 5th or Monday, November 17th at 6:30 PM or Wednesday, November 12th at 10:00 AM.
