COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Question: Are backaches caused by Arthritis? Answer:- Backache are a common disorder that affects many people, four out of five (5) people will suffer from them at some time in their lives. Back problem is a common cause of disability, missed work days and other problems.

Over 80% of back problems are due to overwork or under exercised muscles.

These strained muscles may suddenly go into a sustained contraction or spasm and become a hard knotty mass, signaling body distress by sharp pain.

Only about 10% of low back pain is from Osteoarthritis or a disc problem.

Only a few suffer back pain from other specific serious injury.

Question: WHAT ABOUT RED SWOLLEN PAINFUL JOINTS?; RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Answer: This is different from osteoarthritis in that it results from inflammation of the joints with weakness, swelling, pain, fever, rather than from injury or wear and tear.

Rheumatoid Arthritis is an immune disease related to asthma, hay fever, eczema, and other diseases that have an allergic component.

Repeated attacks over the years produces muscles that gradually stiffen and cause disfiguration of the joints, mostly the wrist and finger joints.

Since Rheumatoid arthritis is longed been closely intertwined with immune (defense) system certain immune protein complexes deposited in the joints play a key role in the defunction of cartilage that takes place. These protein antigens have been known to be absorbed intact from the small intestine without being digested.

Question: Do you mean that what we eat causes heart attacks?

Answer: Yes- Major Culprits are excessive fat and cholesterol. It leads to narrowing, hardening and eventually clogged up of vital arteries that supply the heart with oxygen. This is called [Artherioslerosis]

People are born with clean flexible arteries; they should stay like that throughout life.

Many however clog up cholesterol, fat and calcium- a concoction that gradually hardens and eventually chokes off needed oxygen supplies.

It is recorded that those that change their food habit from eggs, meat, diary products to diet of potatoes, grains, beans, roots and vegetables, leads to dramatic decrease in arteriosclerosis related diseases such as heart attack, strokes, diabetes, gall stone, cancers, arthritis.
