‘SEPTEMBER IS ARTHRITIS MONTH

.- This month of September is
Arthritis Month. Terrace
residents as well as others
across the province will be
hearing and reading many
words in regard to arthritis, one
of the most common afflictions
known to people af the world, As
our contribution to the
provincial government’s
afficial proclamation of
Arthritis Month, we have the
following report, These words
came from Pegeen Davis,
known locally through her work
at the Market Place. Pegeen is
well oriented the health needs of
not only our community, bul
communities in general. She
says:

WHAT CAUSES ARTHRITIS?

Physicians and health
therapists who are really
getting results with arthritics,
not just patching them up or
temporily relieving their pains,
consider that arthritis is for the
most part, a_ nutritional
deficiency illness. According to
Pauline Beregoff-Gillow, M.D.,
“Arthritis is NOT a disease, il is
a symplom that something is
wrong in the system.”

Max ‘Varmbrand, N.D.D.O.,
in his book ‘New Hope For
Arthritis Sufferers’’ writes,
“Most people regard arthritis
as a singly specific illness
affecting only the joints,...\‘He
lists other symptoms often -
associated with arthritis:
constipation, digestive
disorders; catarrhal

. conditions; poor circulation,
cold glammy hands and feet,
fatigue, numbess irritability.
He continues, "As a rule the
illness develops = slowly,
imperceptibly.

It may take years before one
hecomes aware of ils serious
manifestalion. Even when the
onset is sudden, with high fever
and severe pains, one must bear
in mind that the factors that
have given rise to it have been
operating a long time.

“To begin with, it is well to
realize that arthritis is a
systemic disorder and the
outgrowth of many systemic
disturbances. These
disturbances WEAKEN the
functions of the body, impair
circulation and create
deficiencies. Starvation of the
tissues, retention of toxins,
chemical imbalance and

stagnation.are the factors that .

affect the ‘jcints and given rise
to destructive changes. Due to

individual differences, arthritis

takes different forms in
different people, Consequently,
one may react differentiy to
different treatments. However,
underlying cause is the same;
nutritional deficiency.

Tf an arthritic, who has been
bedfast, chairfast and suffering-

from excruiating pains, can be
relieved from pain without
faking drugs and can be assured
of being able to move around by
himself wilh comparative
cornfort, it is something indeed
to look forward to. Here are
some examples of what the
replacement of some of the
missing nutritional factors has

accomplished for some people.

ARE YOU DEFICIENT
INOILS?

The Cod Liver Oil Treatment
is listed below but before we
read the treatment, let us read
about a study of the treatment
conducted at the Brusch
Medical Center, Cambridge,
Massachusetts, by Charles A,
Brusch, M.D. ‘and Edward T,
Johnson, M.D. as reported in
the Journal of the National
Medical Association, July 1959:
98 cases of ostea, rheumatoid
and mixed arthritis lypes were
treated; 92 responded within a
period of 2 to 20 weeks.

RESULTS

Subjectively, there was a
marked reduction in pain, and
general
noted in the majority of the
patients.

Objectively there was
diminished tissue swelling, less
fatigue, butter complexion, skin
and scalp improved, ear wax
increase, stronger nails,
greater alertness, improvement
of blood chemistry in over 90
per cent of the patients,
sedimentation rate dropped,
cholesterol level dropped, even
with the addition of milk, eggs,
butter as well as the cod liver
oil, high white blood count gave
way to normal count,
hemoglobin level frequently
rose, blood sugar dropped to
lower side of normal body
weight remained the same, acid
urine remained or alkaline
urine became ,acid, urinary
mucous threads generally
cleared, constipation was
gradually overcome,
extremities became warmer,
with less swelling, more energy
was evident in 4 to 5 months.

THE TREATMENT

Water was drunk 60 minutes
before breakfast or 30 minutes
before the evening meal. The
only liquid permitted with
meals was raw milk served at
room temperature or warm
soup, :

1 tablespoon cod liver oil was
given in2 tablespoons of milk on

an empty stomach, preferably. §5, and when there is too much. it is.,

complications such as diabetes
or heart trouble, in which case it
was given only twice a week,

Complete elimination of
soft drinks, candy ice cream, or
any food made with white sugar
was observed, (for those who

1,80 to 24,000 calories were
allowed.

In the early 1930's there was
some crilicism of the benfefits
of cod liver oil. The explanation
has now come to light, Francis
M. Pottenger, M.D. states only
when the cod liver oil was
rancid did it produce problems.
Itis wise to purchase it in small
quantities and keep it
fregrigerated after opening.

_ CALCIUM AND B

VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES

Stress so affects the body
chemistry that there is a wide
fluctuation of calcium
phosphorus levels, Dr. D.C.
Jarvis (of Vermont) says, “It is
a common knowledge that arth-
ritic patients feel worse when
they are under strain which
activated their energy expendin
often caused by a mineral
(calcium) precititation in the —
bedy.

Another study revealed that
emotional upsets decrease the
retention of calcium. The
amount decreased was in exact
ratio to the amount of tension
experienced. (American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition,
November 1962)

WHATCAUSES
ARTHRITIS ?

There are different types of
arthritis, although faulty body
chemistry is the genera] cause
arthritis. A strong relationship
exists bebween pyorrhea and
rheumatoid arthritis. The
similarity in the chemistry of
these two disturbances has also
been found due to excess
phosphorus in the diet, pulling
calcium out of the body
(Modern Nutrition, June 1964)

Adefiency inpantothenic acid
(a B vilamin) has been found in
arthritics, The greater the
deficiency the more pronounced
the symptom of rehematoid
arthritis (Lancet, 1963 ii 362-3)
For relief of these deficiences
Adelle Davis (nutritionist )
suggest a food“ supplement
pow">r consisting of: 4-a cup of
e4i 41 lactate or calcium
gluconate powder mixed with a
pound cf brewer's yest,

You ut make sure to
measure correctly as brewer’s
yeast is high in phosphorus in
relation to calcium.Phosphorus
combines with calcium in the

advises that for every
fablespoon of brewer’s yeast,
you should take 8 ounces of skim
milk, raw milk or buttermilk to
supply the correct amount of
calcium. The brewer's yeast is
also an excellent source of
pantothenic acid and also
biotin, inositol, cholin, folic
acid, bilamin B6, niacin, B2, It
is the most inexpensive source
of B Vitamins.

Many people are frightend
away from using calelum due to
the fact that calcium is
deposited in the joints of the
arthritic And yet eating ca-
lIeium apparently does not cause
arthritis, rather a lack of
calcium can be the cause,

Dr. L.W. Cromwell of San
Diego found that 500 older
people, victims of
osteoarthritis, suffered from a
prolonged calcium deficiency
and exhibit more bulges at
finger joints and other signs
than people who had eaten
plenty of calcium,’ Adelle Davis
Says, “The lack of calcium
necessary to help Vitamin C in
forming normal cartilage
around the joints appears to be
the major cause of arthritis.’.

ARE YOU DEFICIENT
IN VITAMIN C?

Since the average arthritic is
deficient in Vitamin C this
vitamin is extremely
necessary, But it should be

taken in tablet form rather than
in large amounts of citrus fruit
juices, which for some reason
seems to aggravate arthritis.

Royal Lee D.D.S, says “very
often the arthritic patient on
citrus juices is killing himself
by inches. Immediate
improvement in the
symptomatic reactions follows
in these cases if the citrus foods
(juices) are dropped from the
diel,”

Dr. Morton §, Biskind and Dr,
W. Coda Martin recommend 200
mg. of bioflavonoids three times
daily (making 600 total) for
bursitis. They had instances
where swelling and pain
-dimished within 24 hours and
except for slight local
tenderness the lesions had
subsided almost completely in
72 hours (American Journal of
Digestive Diseases, Vol 21,
No.7, July 1954 p. 177)

PEGEEN DAVIS

Dr. Jarvis says, ‘‘People
with arthritis are usually
classified as calcium
deficient...normal calcium
metabolism is so highly
dependent upon this acid that
when there is a lack of it,
disturbed calcium metabolism
is inevitable. —

‘Biochemists know that
calcium cannot be assimilated
without acid. This means that
older people, even tense peaple,
who secrete a gradually
diminishing . amount of
hydrochloric acid may find the
cause of their trouble here,
Perhaps Vitamin C can provide
some of this much needed
acid.”

Dr: Jarvis,
adding’ 2 teaspoons of apple.
cider vinegar ina glass of water
sipped before a daily meal,

Curtis Wood, Jr. MD. “hag
reported relief from pain in
arthritic patients by the use of
kelp tablets which are rich in
many minerats.

Michael Rabben, D.D.S. has
something to say which may be
of help. “Refined
carbohydrates (including
sugar} intensify pain."

Numerous people report that
alfalfa tea or alfalfa tablets
have proved helpful.

Dr. Jarvis says, “Honey helps
to alleviate pain in arthritis. It
also helps toa bring ‘about a
disappearance of muscle
cramps in the body. Two
teaspoons of honey are taken
before each meal either from the
spoon or combined with cider
vinegar in water,

Dr. Beregoff-Gillow warns
that eating too fast, washing
down food with liquids causes
many deficiency conditions.
Liquids should be taken at the
end of a meal, Taken with a
meal they can dilute what little
stomach acid exists.

According to Dr. Hans Selye,
exercise of some kind is helpful,
even if you are at first only able
to tense your muscles, area by
area, while lying in. bed. [t
stimulates circulation and
brings oxygen to the stagnent
tissues,
