HOW ALLERGIES CAUSE ARTHRITIS
HOW ALLERGIES CAUSE ARTHRITISClinical ecologists have shown that in 80 to 90 percent of arthritis cases, allergy is the culprit. It has been scientifically proved by the recently published double-blind study I conducted with the assistance of Anthony Conte, M.D., which confirms observations of other ecologists.The mechanism is the same as for any other allergic reaction. Remember that the pain, swelling, and stiffness in arthritic joints (and ultimately the permanent damage) are due to an excess of fluid in and around the joints and the joint inflammation that occurs when the body attempts to defend itself against the environmental offender. When a substance to which the body is sensitive arrives at an affected or soon-to-be-affected joint via the bloodstream, the capillaries in the synovial membrane lining the joint respond with an inflammatory reaction, allowing fluid and certain cells from the bloodstream to enter the joint and the surrounding tissues. This occurs because the immune system begins an unnecessary, illness-causing effort to fight off the usually harmless substance it unfortunately recognizes as an offending intruder.In many cases it will be easy for an arthritic person to determine if his or her arthritis is an allergic disorder. And once it has been shown to your satisfaction that this is the case, it is usually not very difficult to relieve your pain and swelling. In addition, you will probably be able to prevent the occurrence of permanent joint damage, or at least keep it limited in severity as you bring the allergies under control by yourself or with professional assistance.Thousands of cases of allergic arthritis have been diagnosed by clinical ecologists in the United States, Canada, England, Australia, and elsewhere. Allergic arthritis is a common disorder, and it may very well be the kind that you have. It is very likely that many of people will be able to do everything in the Lifetime Arthritis System from start to finish on their own and be well again, or much better, without any professional assistance. If your self-help program is not completely successful, at least there is an excellent chance that you will learn so much about your illness, even if it happens to be a very complex disorder, that you will strongly suspect or have definitely proved that you are allergic and are proceeding in the right direction, even though it is obvious that additional help is necessary.*14/295/5*
