Some interesting points on Osteoarthritis:
Hot tubs and baths provide relief. Raw lemon rubs and hot castor oil packs are also extremely beneficial.
Drink steam-distilled water only.
Good posture is also important to prevent stiffness and crippling. Poor posture can cause body weight to be distributed unevenly, placing more stress on certain joints, resulting in unnecessary pain for the arthritic person. Overweight and obesity also affect the weight-bearing joints, which become irritated and stressed by having to carry too much of a load.
Alfalfa, Parsley, Celery seed, Ginger 1-2 grams per day (discourages inflammation and pain), hot Peppers, and Garlic make useful additions to the diet.
The bacteria responsible for Chlamydia non-specific urethritis has been linked as a cause of one form of arthritis in young women. In nearly half of the women with unexplained arthritis who were tested, Chlamydia was found in the joints. Seventy-five percent had raised antibody levels in the blood.
