Arthrits

[rbnwbr]

I had saline implants done in 05- all of sudden after that I developed arthritis in my fingers.  Could the implants be the cause. Thank you kindly Roben

Whoops - yes, Glucosamine with Chondroitin. There are some formulas that include MSM in them too.

Check into MSM, along with the glucosamine and hyaluronic acid.  No chondroitin?

I'm taking Ameriden Olive Leaf Extract - 6 caps a day, I was instructed to take only this brand.  Plus Glucosamine 1500mg 3 X a day and hyaluronic acid (cushions joint) 100mg 3X a day.  It'a lot of pills but would rather do that than take drugs with bad side-effects (had really bad reaction to Celebrex).  You can go to the website Arthritis Help For Me ******* for more info.

I am trying to follow an alkaline pH diet as much as poss - but it's not easy, do drink alkaline water tho'.  I'm trying to ionclude more veggies and juice and have wheatgress juice when I can.  Want to get some of the juice powder suggested on that website - next payday. I also have leaky gut from all the motrin so am trying to go Gluten Free - digestion is better now. I have always eaten healthy but have gained weight due to lack of exercise for past few years - hoping to fix that soon, already feeling better moving around, used to have pain just walking around the house sometimes.

Hope that helps.

Please share the supplements and dosage instructions that you're taking.  Are you following the pH recommendations?  What about elimination of foods enabling the pathogens?

After discovering that my arthritis is linked to a 'stealth pathogen' (tiny mocroscopic organism) that became active after a surgery, it could be that the surgery exposed you to something - it may not necessarily be the implants.  Now I know about it I'm taking supplements to kill the nasty pathogen and hope to be back to my mobile self very soon.  Already feeling a lot better.

good luck.

There are some people who believe their is a relationship between implants and autoimmune forms of arthritis.  I was not able to locate any studies that confirmed or denied the statement.  There was some evidence that a small percentage of women who had their implants removed experienced a reduction or eleviation of their symptoms.
