Millions of people worldwide suffer from an inflammation disease that falls under the heading, “arthritis.” Whether it is gout, osteoarthritis, or RA (or dozens of other associated diseases), the key culprit is inflammation.
Treatment to this point has included attempts at beating back inflammation with prescription steroid injections, with limited or little effect, but loads of dangerous side effects – even death.
A new study proves exactly how useless these steroid shots are for arthritis and indicates what to do instead.
According to new evidence presented recently by scientists from Tufts Medical Center in Boston, steroid injections do nothing to stop, or even slow, the progress of arthritis in virtually all sufferers who are prescribed this therapy.
While they are deemed to be safe in the short term, there is no evidence, according to researchers, of the shots’ long term effectiveness for people who suffer from inflammatory process diseases.
Even competing scientific communities acknowledge that there exist no known injections that will halt or reverse the damage done by arthritis diseases.
Instead, most new research is proving that the only way to permanently end the progression of arthritis– and in fact reverse the damage – is to end the inflammation before it has a chance to affect the body’s joints.
The best way to do this, say most researchers, is to reduce, limit, or eliminate exposure to inflammation-causing chemicals that enter the body.
Foods, environmental hazards, and other sources of inflammation are abundant in the processed food-filled world of the typical Western diet. So it is easy to see how these assaults can be difficult to avoid.
I am happy for this discovery for it will help a lot of people.
