What causes arthritis?
As I am sure that you are all aware of, Merck just took Vioxx off of the market...New data showed that it caused increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
This text could originally be found at http://apnews.myway.com/article/20040930/D85E0FA81.html, or on World Net Daily; but since this article may go away I am going to include some of the text here:
Pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co. (MRK) is pulling its blockbuster arthritis drug Vioxx from the market worldwide because new data from a clinical trial found an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
Whitehouse Station-based Merck said Thursday that data from the trial showed the increased risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular complications began 18 months after patients started taking Vioxx.
The data comes from a three-year study aimed at showing that Vioxx at a 25 milligram dose prevents recurrence of polyps in the colon and rectum. The trial was stopped after Merck discovered the higher heart risk compared to patients taking dummy pills.
"It's a disaster for Merck, coming at the worst time," said independent health care analyst Hemant Shah of HKS & Co. in Warren, N.J.
Vioxx is one of Merck's most important drugs, with $2.5 billion in sales in 2003. But sales dipped 18 percent in the second quarter of this year to $653 million, partly due to increasing concerns about the drug's safety.
"We're taking this action because we believe it best serves the interest of patients," Ray V. Gilmartin, Merck's chairman, president and chief executive officer, said in a prepared statement.
"Although we believe it would have been possible to continue to market Vioxx with labeling that would incorporate these new data, given the availability of alternative therapies and the questions raised by the data, we concluded that a voluntary withdrawal is the responsible course to take," he said.
Aren't you tired of taking drugs that the pharmaceutical companies put out there, that in this case, anyway, obviously endanger your health. And the kicker is.. you never get off of them. Take a look at this from: http://www.mall-net.com/arth/ - I have included a small part of the text here, this is a very interesting site if you want to check it out further, I have included the http link.
"Arthritis and Rheumatism Alternatives
- Cure the patient, and loose the revenue stream.
- Treat the symptoms, and the patient will pay you for the rest of his life.
Is that what you are finding? Is your doctor talking about pain management as arthritis treatment, and nothing else? Then it is time you looked further! It is YOUR responsibility to make sure you are dealing with a doctor who looks for causes, not merely relieves the pain symptoms. There are many good doctors out there, you just have to keep looking till you find one. And when you do, pass the word around!
"Rheumatoid Arthritis" is not one single disease, but a catch-all diagnosis for many different causes, over 190 known different diseases, and probably more. Many are curable! But will Your doctor try to find out which of those 190 diseases you really have? Or take the easy and profitable way out by simply prescribing pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs for the rest of your life?
I hope you check every one of these options. You never know which one will lead You to YOUR cure. When the doctors say it can't be cured, it means the multi-billion dollar pharmo-medical industry does not see enough profit in investing in a Permanent Cure -- But you do! When they used heavy legal mu$cle to force the former tenant of this web nook out over a dubious name similarity, a tenant who spoke of CURES, not profitable pain relief; we used our constitutional right to Freedom of Speech and put up these pointers to good information to help You.
Don't get stuck on pain killers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and mind numbing drugs to deal with pain! Stop the destruction, end the expense, and let your body heal by curing the CAUSE!
And yes, I HAD arthritis. After years limping around on a cane and being advised this was permanent, it ended a week after I started rotating my diet. My cause was leaky gut syndrome, caused in turn by Candida Albecans. That may or may not help you; there are many other causes, and many other cures. So my advice to you is: Keep Looking! There ARE real and often permanent CURES!"
This person found that candida albicans was the cause of their arthritis symptoms. Is it possible that candida is a problem for you? If you have ever, even once, taken antibiotics, corti-steroids like prednisone, birth control pills, chemotherapy or oral acne medications then you may have a candida concern!
Candida, what is it?
Candida albicans is a common yeast found in our digestive system and throat, when we are exposed to anti-biotics, birth control pills, corti-steroids, or prednisone the good bacteria which normally keep candida under control in our systems are killed off and the candida can overgrow. When the candida yeast gets out of control, it morphs into a mycelial fungal form, becomes invasive and grows rhizoids which then burrow into our intestinal wall. These rhizoids leave microscopic holes in the intestinal wall which allows toxins in the form of undigested food particles, bacteria and yeast into our blood stream. When this condition occurs the overgrowth is called Candidiasis or a systemic yeast infection. One indication of a systemic yeast infection is oral thrush or a white coated tongue. The toxins that the yeast puts into our system are responsible for the varying conditions that each individual experiences.
This overgrowth of yeast, I believe may also cause arthritis. You may be suffering from many other symptoms that are related to Yeast and just not realize it. Things like fatigue, recurrent vaginal yeast infections, eye pain, chronic sinusitis, headaches, and more. For a comprehensive list look at this list of Yeast Symptoms. I have supplied a list of things that I was able to solve with the fantastic product I will discuss below. Finding out that I had a candida problem solved so many problems for me! From things as benign as eye pain to water retention and the inability to lose weight (I have lost 12 pounds on this product).
You can take a bunch of tests to determine if you have systemic yeast, but doctors don't seem to want to acknowledge how wide spread this condition is. They would much rather treat the symptom then spend the time with you to get at the root cause. If you want a quick and suprisingly reliable test - try this surprisingly accurate saliva test.
"The majority of people who have Candida Albicans (Yeast) do not even realize they have it until they become seriously ill. It is estimated that over half of the worlds population has a moderate to serious Candida condition, due to the over use of antibiotics/drugs, bad diet and other causes. There are many programs, books and products on the market, all promising either control or relief from Candida and its symptoms. I have searched the net, researched with colleges and pulled together the most comprehensive, straightforward & up to date information possible. We will show you in these pages why Nystatin, Diflucan and other Fluconazoles do more harm than good, how to recognize the problem, arrest it and of course get rid of it!" - from Healthy Christian Living
A yeast overgrowth will not go away on its own, in fact this insidious fungus grows stronger and stronger with each passing year. I believe that I have unsuspectingly had an overgrowth for at least 20 years. I have suffered miserably with the inability to lose weight, food sensitivities and the like. If I had known of systemic yeast 20 years ago, I would have done everything in my ability to get rid of it when it would have been easier. However, I have found a way that may free even long time candida sufferers of this nasty fungal infection. You need to cleanse it from your body and I found a wonderful product that helps you do just that. The product is called ThreeLac and with guidance I can help you through the process of possibly ridding yourself of frequent urination and other symptoms once and for all. Learn More about Systemic Yeast Infections.
Arthritis in your case may not be caused by candida, but if arthritis is an indicator of a systemic yeast infection for you, can you afford to not take a look at these products? Bookmark this page so you can find me easily tomorrow and take the saliva test in the morning. If you test positive, these amazing products may help you eliminate the candida, solve your arthritis and avoid the problems that a systemic yeast infection may develop into!
