******Skip Article on Arthritis Caused by Infections Below and go directly to   Products  That Support Healthy Joint Function:     Advanced INF   Advanced Joint Health   ADVANCED OSTEO FORMULA   Glucosamine 425 / Chonodroitin   Ultra R   Ultra Flex   Pain Essential Oils   There are over 60 causes of Arthritis but I wanted to talk about this one because most people are not aware of it.  I learned about it when the severe hip pain I had been experiencing for months went away in two weeks after having some bad teeth removed. The bad teeth had mercury fillings in them and I ended up with mercury poisoning and a severe immune dysfunction.     Arthritis can be caused by mouth and gum infections /other infections including infections in the bloodstream such as staph.   This is not well known and this is why I am presenting this information here.   Definition: Septic Arthritis Septic arthritis is an inflammation of a joint caused by bacterial invasion (but not the bacterium that causes gonorrhea).   Bacterial arthritis; Septic arthritis   Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Septic arthritis develops when bacteria spread from a source of infection through the bloodstream to a joint or the joint is directly infected by traumatic penetration or surgical procedures. The onset of the symptoms is usually rapid with joint swelling, intense joint pain, and low-grade fever. Risk factors include a simultaneous bacterial infection, chronic illness, diseases or medications that suppress the immune system, rheumatoid arthritis, intravenous drug abuse, sickle cell disease, artificial joint implants, recent joint trauma, or recent joint arthroscopy or other surgery. Septic arthritis may be seen at any age. In children, it occurs most often in those less than 3 years old. The hip is a frequent site of infection in infants. Septic arthritis is uncommon from age 3 to adolescence, at which time the incidence increases again (appearing as gonococcal arthritis in females with cervical gonorrhea). Children with septic arthritis are more likely than adults to be infected with group B streptococcus and Haemophilus influenza. Acute septic arthritis tends to be caused by organisms such as staphylococcus, streptococcus (pneumoniae) and group B streptococcus while chronic septic arthritis (which occurs less frequently) is caused by organisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Candida albicans. The knee and the hip are the most commonly infected joints.  To The Top   Bacteria, Viruses Can Cause Infectious Arthritis Most people are familiar with osteoarthritis – the common “wear and tear” arthritis that occurs over years of musculoskeletal stress and injury, and the source of many of the aches and pains we attribute to aging. Another well-known ailment is rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that usually affects several joints in the body at once. But there are actually about 100 types of arthritis and related disorders, many of which are caused by bacteria or viruses. Arthritis is a condition in which the joints of the body become swollen, tender and inflamed. “With infectious arthritis, a bacterium, virus or other infection directly invades the joint and causes pus to form there,” says James J. Nocton, MD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin. “While infectious arthritis itself is not contagious, the cause of the infection can be.” Dr. Nocton practices in the Division of Pediatric Rheumatology, Department of Pediatrics, at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, a Medical College affiliate. Bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus (“staph”) and streptococcus (“strep”) are the most common causes of infectious arthritis. These bacteria can gain access to the body in various ways, for example through a cut or break in the skin or via an ear infection. The infectious agent travels through the bloodstream and settles in a joint, where the body’s own defense system – the immune response – fights against the intruder. The end result is inflammation. Untreated Lyme disease, caused by a bacterium carried by the deer tick, can lead to infectious arthritis, as can untreated sexually transmitted diseases, particularly gonorrhea. In addition to certain common bacteria, some viruses can also initiate arthritic disorders. Parvovirus, which causes the common childhood infection known as “fifth disease,” can cause infectious arthritis in children or adults. While illness from parvovirus generally resolves without treatment, anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed to treat joint swelling and pain if infectious arthritis develops. People whose immune systems are already compromised by health conditions such as diabetes or sickle cell anemia may be at even greater-than-average risk of developing infectious arthritis. Symptoms and Treatment Infectious arthritis is usually quite painful. Children who are affected may even refuse to walk if their leg, ankle or foot joints are involved. In joints other than the hip or shoulder, swelling may be apparent, and the affected area might feel hot or look red. There is almost always a fever. (Infectious arthritis caused by Lyme disease, however, does not usually cause severe pain, fever or swelling.) “With most cases of infectious arthritis, the patient feels sick,” Dr. Nocton says. “The presence of a fever raises your suspicions that the cause of joint pain or swelling that does not resolve by itself may be infectious arthritis.”To The Top Health care providers typically diagnose bacterial arthritis by removing fluid from the affected joint through a needle, then culturing the fluid in the laboratory. The fluid will grow staph, strep or another infectious agent, thereby identifying the cause of the inflammation. X-rays or similar imaging tests may also be used, primarily to rule out other causes of inflammation. Patients who are diagnosed with infectious arthritis of bacterial origin receive antibiotics – usually intravenously at first, followed by oral medications. Depending on the location of the joint and the severity of the inflammation, treatment might also include draining the joint of pus, particularly in the case of the hip, which is more sensitive to damage from inflammation. Infectious arthritis caused by Lyme disease does not usually require joint drainage, and only oral antibiotics are necessary for treatment. Protection, Prevention Since many cases of infectious arthritis begin with a skin injury, good wound care is essential to avoid future problems. In addition, there are ways to provide some degree protection from other sources of infection. Safe sex practices and anti-tick measures (e.g., using insect repellant and wearing long sleeves and pants when in the woods) can help prevent the infections that may lead to an arthritic condition.    To The Top If not treated promptly and properly, infectious arthritis can destroy cartilage, which lines bone surfaces in the joint, acts as a shock absorber and helps the joint move smoothly. Eventually, the cartilage could break down completely and the inflammation would cause the bone itself to deteriorate. Furthermore, the infection could spread to adjacent tissues or to other parts of the body through the bloodstream. “The key is to diagnose the infection as soon as possible and start treatment,” Dr. Nocton says. “This usually prevents the permanent damage to the joint.”  Products That Support Healthy Joint Function ***Pain Essential Oil (Warming) A blend to help reduce pain when applied topically to most areas of the body. Creates heat, especially beneficial for muscles, joins, stiff, sore neck, etc. Ingredients; Wintergreen Eucalyptus, Menthol, Lavender and other essential oils.   To The Top   *Advanced IN-F - $34.95  700mg (90 caps) More InfoAdvanced INF More and more people are suffering with inflammation from various causes. To address this issue from a stand point of “one product can aid all people” is not the answer. New Sun has been working with Dr. Jeanne Petan over the course of several months for a formula that will compliment our current product line and assist those persons that our current anti-inflammatory product does not get the relief that might be expected. Again, each of us is different so our body’s needs will be different too. We have received Favorable remarks from those in the field who have used this product. Quercetin is a flavonoid that forms the "backbone" for many other flavonoids, including the citrus flavonoids rutin, hesperidin, naringin and tangeritin. Quercetin is found to be the most active of the flavonoids in studies, and many medicinal plants owe much of their activity to their high quercetin content. Quercetin has demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory activity because of direct inhibition of several initial processes of inflammation. For example, it inhibits both the manufacture and release of histamine and other allergic/inflammatory mediators. In addition, it exerts potent antioxidant activity and vitamin C-sparing action. Turmeric-The medicinal properties of the turmeric have for millennia been known to the ancient Indians and its medical properties have been expounded in the Ayurvedic texts. It is only in recent years that Western scientists have increasingly recognised the medicinal properties of turmeric. According to a 2005 article in the Wall Street Journal titled, "Common Indian Spice Stirs Hope," research activity into curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is exploding. Two hundred and fifty-six curcumin papers were published in the past year according to a research of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Curcumin has been used for thousands of years as a safe anti-inflammatory in a variety of ailments as part of Indian traditional medicine," Gregory Cole, Professor of medicine and neurology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA said. Consuming large doses is not recommended in cases of gallstones, obstructive jaundice, acute bilious colic and toxic liver disorders. Bromelain can be used in a vast array of medical conditions. It was first introduced in this area in 1957, and works by blocking some proinflammatory metabolites that accelerate and worsen the inflammatory process. It is an anti-inflammatory agent, and so can assist with sports injury, trauma, arthritis, and other kinds of swelling. Its main uses are athletic injuries, digestive problems, phlebitis, sinusitis, and aiding healing after surgery. It has also been proposed in the use of arthritis, chronic venous insufficiency, easy bruising, gout, hemorrhoids, menstrual pain, autoimmune disorders, and ulcerative colitis. Studies have shown that bromelain can also be useful in the reduction of platelet clumping and blood clots in the bloodstream, especially in the arteries. It may even be useful in the treatment of AIDS to stop the spread of HIV. It has no major side effects, except for possible allergic reactions. Ginger has been commonly used to treat inflammation. It may also have blood thinning and cholesterol lowering properties, making it effective in treating heart disease; while early studies have shown some efficacy, it is too early to determine whether further research will bear this out. Vitamin C To The Top **Advanced Joint Health $34.95        90-5     825mg (60 caps) More and more people are suffering with problems involving the joints wither it be stiffness, pain due to inflammation or arthritic conditions. In an effort to broaden our product line to accommodate our members we go to our members who are actively involved with on going research. One such person is Dr. Jeanne Petan of Simpsonville, SC. Dr. Petan has been working in this field for over 20 years and has always worked with Jim with formulations. This latest addition is a WINNER. Many people have had the opportunity to use this product as part of their protocol and their reports have been outstanding. The lists of ingredients in this formula are very impressive and together they work to bring relief very quickly. Glucosamine Sulfate (also known as Glucosamine Sulphate) is the form that has been tested in dozens of clinical trials. All Glucsoamine Sulfate forms originated from shellfish , our source is shrimp, and has been shown since the first clinical studies in 1980 to be effective at easing discomfort associated with arthritis - at least - if not more effectively than common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as Ibuprofen or Aspirin. Glucosamine sulfate also has very few side effects in comparison to NSAIDS, which can erode your digestive tract and cause internal bleeding, liver failure or death when taken over time or in people over the age of about 45 when your body being to not be able to heal quite as effectively. White Willow Bark The white willow was introduced into the United States from Europe and can be found next to rivers and streams throughout the country. The bark is the part of the willow used, and is easily removed in the spring when the sap begins to flow. Willows have been used for centuries for pain relief and reduction of fever. The leaves can be chewed, and contain salicylic acid. This compound has been synthesized into acetylsalicylic acid, otherwise known as aspirin. Natural salicylic acid is nearly as potent as aspirin, however, the compound salicin from willow does not cause gastric or intestinal upset or bleeding as aspirin can. This is because willow does not block prostaglandins in the stomach or intestines. Potassium (from glucosamine sulfate) is a mineral that assists in muscle contraction and in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells. Potassium is also important in sending nerve impulses as well as releasing energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates during metabolism. High dietary intake from fruits and vegetables throughout one’s life helps to preserve bone mass thereby preventing bone loss that can lead to osteoporosis. We know from experience that our foods are lacking in this essential mineral. Boswellia Serrata in combination with other herbs, may improve pain and function in patients with OA. Boswellia is an Asian tree also called salsi guggal or Indian frankincense. Boswellia has been commonly used as an anti-inflammatory agent for arthritis, asthma, and ulcerative colitis in Ayurvedic medicine. Tumeric is extensively cultivated all over India. India is the principal supplier of turmeric to the world markets. The total acreage under turmeric in India has been estimated variously from 60,000 to 100,000 acres, and the production is nearly 100,000 tons of rhizomes per annum. In traditional systems of medicine, turmeric is known to relieve inflammation, C. longa rhizomes of various habitats exhibit fungistatic (inhibiting the growth of a fungus) activity particularly against Aspergillus niger. In live blood cell work, Aspergillus niger is prevalent in persons who suffer with arthritic conditions. We have used the rhizome extract in this formula. Gamma oryzanol is a natural component of rice bran. Some evidence suggests that gamma oryzanol stimulates the release of endorphins (pain-relieving substances made in the body), and promotes the growth of lean muscle tissue. Plant Enzymes: Proteases (proteinases, peptidases or proteolytic enzymes) are enzymes that break peptide bonds between amino acids of proteins. The process is called proteolytic cleavage, a common mechanism of activation or inactivation of enzymes especially involved in blood coagulation or digestion. Cellulase is an enzyme complex which breaks down cellulose to beta-glucose. Disclaimer: These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
