Next, Time to back off on allergens like peanuts, eggplant, tomato, potato, which swell up the joints. Time to digest proteins perfectly by food combining correctly. Time to flush the kidneys after eating animal proteins, not with sugary drinks, which impede the acid digestion of protein but with water. And time to start supplementing the specific vitamins that your joints need. Chondroitan sulfate and Glucosamine.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is a component of all types of connective tissue. Since connective tissue is pervasive in the body, producing and maintaining healthy collagen is tantamount to maintaining health. Collagen has a triple helix configuration which gives it tremendous strength. This special biochemical configuration is highly dependent on the incorporation of the amino acid proline during the synthesis of collagen. The production of normal proline requires vitamin C. So I get all my neighbors to sign on for my taking the citrus that falls on the ground and I juice daily. Lemons that fall are not sour. Make sure your citrus has been 3 yrs on the tree, not the usual 'market' 2, so it doesn't WASH AWAY bone calcium.
Some of the earliest manifestations of scurvy, the vitamin C deficiency disease, are weakened connective tissue, i.e. easy bleeding of the gums. Although scurvy is considered a rarity in this country, inadequate intakes of vitamin C could still manifest in weakened connective tissue. Weakened connective tissue could allow joints to be vulnerable to injury.
Within cartilage there are two main 'ingredients.' -- chondroitin-4-sulphate and chondroitin-6-sulphate. We can supplement this with CHONDROITAN SULFATE.
The standard approach to treating joint pain has been and remains anti-inflammatory medications. Both steroidal and non-steroidal drugs are typically used. Medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (most over-the-counter pain relievers are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - NSAIDs) can block the production of the inflammatory chemicals, prostaglandins. BUT....studies conducted in the United States and Europe have reported that NSAIDs can lead to destruction of joints.
Athletes are also vulnerable to kidney problems, maybe even kidney failure, with high NSAID use combined with heavy sweating during workouts. Prostaglandins, the compounds whose synthesis is blocked by NSAIDs, are extremely important for normal kidney function. In order for the kidneys to filter the blood properly and help maintain normal water balance they must receive plenty of blood. Prostaglandins play a role in dilating kidney
blood vessels and thereby ensuring adequate blood flow to the kidneys. Less blood to the kidneys combined with high fluid loss during sweating could be a deadly combination.For severe joint pain, intra-articular (right into the painful joint) corticosteroid injections will often be given. Corticosteroids are very effective anti-inflammatory agents, but the injections themselves are often painful and corticosteroids can also lead to joint damage. Corticosteroids, in high doses, leads to connective tissue degradation. You would expect that collagen breakdown would be increased. How many injections are needed
before joint destruction can occur is unclear. The question remains, is short term pain relief worth the possibility of a joint that may forever be weakened?It may be possible, even after use of steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents that appropriate nutrient intake (maybe supplemental) and exercise rehabilitation could return weakened, damaged joint connective tissue back to full strength.
Nutrient supplements - There are two general approaches to treating joint pain; blocking the inflammatory response or enhancing healthy connective tissue regeneration (i.e chondroprotective agents). Natural products may be used to treat joint pain because they act as; 1) macromolecule synthesis co-factors, i.e. micronutrients, 2) precursor compounds which actually become part of connective tissue macromolecules, or 3) natural anti-inflammatory agents.Although a number of botanical medicines have been well studied for their anti-inflammatory effects, this article will focus on nutrients which are considered chondroprotective agents in that they are thought to work by one of the first two mechanisms.
Numerous animal and human studies have reported beneficial results in the treatment of osteoarthritis using glucosamine sulfate. In a number of these studies the effectiveness of glucosamine sulfate supplementation has specifically been compared to NSAIDs in patients with osteoarthritis.14,15 In both studies, glucosamine sulfate was more effective than the drugs, but it required about six weeks of supplementation before it appeared to perform better than the NSAIDs. It is theorized that glucosamine sulfate can be used as a building block for connective tissue GAGs. A Russian study found that the benefits of glucosamine sulfate were evident even one month after stopping supplementation. Several animal studies report that glucosamine sulfate does not block the production of inflammatory chemicals. Together these studies provide circumstantial evidence that glucosamine sulfate acts on joints by providing the precursor materials to make healthy connective tissue. The most compelling evidence for the connective tissue building actions of glucosamine sulfate arises from cartilage tissue biopsies from patients with osteoarthritis. One group of patients was treated with glucosamine sulfate while the other group was treated with placebo. Microscopically, the cartilage from patients treated with glucosamine sulfate had the appearance of healthy, not damaged cartilage.
Chondroitin sulfate (CS), has been tested clinically and reported to be efficacious in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Chondroitin sulfate, a very large molecule compared to glucosamine sulfate, may not be absorbed after oral supplementation Three clinical studies reported successful treatment of osteoarthritis using an intramuscular injectable form of CS. The actions which could explain the clinical benefits of CS include anti-inflammatory (via inhibiting complement action), inhibition of cartilage-destroying enzymes (elastase and hyaluronidase) and rebuilding of cartilage.
Despite the fact that there are misgivings about the oral absorption of CS, at least one French clinical trial of oral CS has reported good therapeutic benefits in an osteoarthritis population. Also an Italian study reported increased blood levels after a single oral dose of 0.8g of chondroitin sulfate (from 0.0 to 1.0 mcg/ml).4 Oral CS may indeed be an effective supplement for improving joint health, but the discrepancy in absorption studies of oral CS combined with unclear information as to whether C-6-S or C-4-S should be supplemented, are two reasons to consider glucosamine sulfate supplementation before CS supplementation.
The element sulfur is absolutely required for the synthesis of normal GAGs. This sulfur requirement would answer the question as to why glucosamine sulfate is an effective chondroprotective agent, while glucosamine HCl is not. SAM is a special form of the sulfur containing amino acid methionine called S-adenosylmethionine. SAM is used as a precursor for the production of sulfated products such as phospho-adenosyl-phosphosulfate (PAP). PAP is the molecule used by connective tissue cells for sulfation. SAM can have anti-inflammatory activity similar to NSAIDs. In a number of clinical trials with osteoarthritis patients, SAM performed at least as well as NSAIDs, and often with fewer side effects. Most importantly, SAM may have connective tissue rebuilding effects, evidenced by the maintenance of benefits one month after stopping the supplement SAM has also been found to stimulate production of GAGs which, as we have seen, are the building blocks of connective tissue.28
Although 500 milligrams (mg) of glucosamine sulfate three times per day (a total of 1500 mg daily) and 400 mg per day of SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) would appear to be excellent choices of nutrients which could rebuild damaged connective tissue, a comprehensive approach to joint health includes exercise and other nutrients. While glucosamine sulfate appears to be virtually non-toxic, SAM has reportedly caused stomach pain in a few individuals.
Minerals shown to be important in producing strong connective tissue are copper, zinc, manganese, and boron. The best way to obtain a complement of these minerals is to add fresh nuts, seeds, vit filled GREENS (not oxalic acid ones like spinach) and non-citrus fruits to the diet. For repair, such as with osteoarthritis or following joint injury, supplementation may be warranted (specific studies have not been conducted). Standard supplement doses would be daily: 1-2 mg of copper, 15-30 mg of zinc, 5-15 mg of manganese and 2-6 mg of boron. Vitamin C is particularly important for connective tissue integrity. Vegetables and fruits are the best sources of vitamin C, but if supplementing during a time of needed repair, one to two grams (1000 mg to 2000 mg) in divided doses should be sufficient. All of these nutrient supplements should be taken with food.
Exercise for healthy joints
Healthy connective tissue needs to be both strong and supple. Regular exercise is a key to achieving both. Resistance exercises (strength training) appear to be the best form of physical activity to stimulate new growth and correctly align the collagen fibers in newly forming connective tissue. This means that joints need to be moving against some resistance, either using weights or working against body weight as in push-ups. These exercises are best done slowly and when the joint is free of pain.
The approach to take for strengthening a joint which has been injured
or is arthritic should begin with isometric exercises. These are resistance
exercises whereby the muscles surrounding the affected joint is contracted,
but there is no movement at the joint. I often refer to this type of
exercise as "holding" exercise. Specifically, correctly executed (i.e. with
proper biomechanics) yoga poses are an excellent form of isometric
exercises. Since these types of resistances exercises do not require
movement of a painful joint, they can be started as long as the joint is
stable. Once joint movement becomes pain-free, adding in isotonic
resistance exercises is important. Strengthening the joint (and all the
connective tissue maintaining the joint) within its full range of motion is
extremely important to return the joint to full functionality. I would
venture to say that the reason an injured or arthritic joint is often
vulnerable to future problems is because most individuals do not take the
time to fully rehabilitate the joint's connective tissue.By imposing "passive" (stretching) forces on newly forming collagen
fibers (i.e. scar tissue), cross-linking and collagen fibril
disorganization can be diminished.38,39 Flexibility or stretching exercises
are tantamount to maintaining and rebuilding supple connective tissue.40
Stretching of the connective tissue around the affected joint should begin
as soon as the joint is relatively pain and inflammation free. Stretching
exercises should include the affected joint but also the unaffected paired
joint and always be within the limits of pain. Further, stretches should be
held for 30 seconds to 90 seconds, at least. Please see reference #40 for
more details on how to properly undertake a stretching program.Summary
Maintaining joint health is a matter of paying attention to diet and
exercise (not very original!). In the diet a sufficient intake of minerals
and vitamin C is ultimately important for synthesis of healthy connective
tissue. Adding in two aspects of exercise which are less publicized
(strengthening and stretching and oxygenating with YOGA,)
much better than aerobic exercise, these would be the key to
maintaining joint health, i.e. prevent future injury.Information regarding the composition of joint connective tissue and
metabolism of connective tissue macromolecules has laid the groundwork to
understand what natural products could be helpful for joint repair.
Glucosamine sulfate, SAM, vitamin C, copper, zinc, boron, and manganese are
some of the important nutrients to consider supplementing when joint repair
is required. Complete joint repair would also include specific
strengthening and stretching exercises for the affected and paired joint.It is important to remember that short term, infrequent use of NSAIDs
are probably not problematic for the joint tissues. However, the only
effect an individual is achieving with NSAIDs is anti-inflammatory. This
means that treating affected joints with NSAIDs is simply symptomatic
relief. Although the cause of joint pain appears to be chemicals involved
in the inflammatory response, joint inflammation is a response to damaged
connective tissue. Therefore the logical, comprehensive treatment for joint
pain is to deal with the underlying cause of damaged connective tissue.
