General Primary Pillar Post

Here goes:

Arthritis is a term that is often bandied about the internet and general conversation. It isn’t a good medical term, as it describes many symptoms and medical conditions, from aggressive auto-immune conditions (rheumatoid arthritis), where joint surfaces are attacked by the body’s defence system, to osteoarthritis, which is itself caused by numerous conditions, such as poor alignment of lower and upper legs at the knee (for example after the fracture of a bone, tendon or ligament. Doctors often call the condition an arthrosis if the condition wasn’t related to inflammation.

However, whatever the molecular cause of the arthritis, the result is a painful loss of friction-bearing surface, the hyaline cartilage, a natural, slippery, shock-absorbing natural material. When the bony surfaces that are below the cartilage rub together, the result is similar to running a car without oil, a grinding mess.

When this happens, the result is terrible pain, that is usually relieved partially by pain killers. Doctors will normally recommend implanting a joint.

However, many people have seen remarkable results by controlling just the diet.
