Western vs. Natural Plant-based view on Rheumatoid Arthritis
What is Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)?
The term Rheumatoid Arthritis is Greek for “inflamed joints”. It is a chronic long term auto-immune disease, where the body’s own immune system starts attacking the cells, muscles and tendons of different joints. It affects more than 25 million people, and more than 100 thousand new cases are reported each year.
What is the cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis?
RA is an autoimmune disease, which means that the body’s immune system is at fault. Immune cells of the body start attacking synovial membranes (which are the tissues that line most joints). This results in the thickening of the joint capsule (which is the covering layer of the joints), as well as other adverse effects on the underlying bone and cartilage .
Genetics were recently introduced as a trigger for developing RA, with a risk of up to 3 to 5 times more likely that the disease develops in the same family. Smoking, particularly in men, could also be considered a risk factor for developing RA.
What are the signs and symptoms of RA?
Of course such condition could be debilitating, and have a tremendous effect on your movement, well- being and lifestyle in general. Patients with RA literally have to think twice before even trying to get up to take a walk, visit their family members, and even do a simple task such as going to the bathroom.
The joints become swollen, warm and painful. The condition starts at the small joints located in the hands and feet, and gradually moving up to bigger joints such as the ones in shoulders, knees and the spine. Other organs are also affected, which would mainly be the skin suffering from a type of rash called the Rheumatic nodules. In the long run, fibrosis of the lungs and amyloidosis of the kidney can be a consequence of the chronic inflammation. Eventually, the eyes, the heart, the liver and the brain become affected as well, but only if the condition is not properly controlled.
Treatment according to the Western medicine tradition
There is no known cure for RA. Anti-rheumatic drugs such as methotrexate are the most commonly used means of control, to decrease the effect of the immune system on the joints. Anti-inflammatory and pain medications are also used to control the pain and inflammation of the joints. In advanced cases, surgery will most probably be needed to correct the deformity caused by the long term inflammation.
Treatment according to the natural medicine tradition
Unlike Western medicine, natural medicine focuses more on lifestyle changes to accommodate the condition far less invasive and much easier to comply to.
Research has shown the positive effect of natural constituents, such as fish oil, primavera plant oil, and simple exercises such as Tai-Chi, in reducing the pain and facilitating the lifestyle for the patients living with this chronic condition.
