A Nutritionist's Insight on Arthritis by Carol Koester

A Nutritionist's Insight on Arthritis by

Carol Koester

Here is some of my knowledge about nutrition's role in

ARTHRITIS from past experiences. I am speaking as a

nutritionist, not a medical specialist.

Most arthritics I have dealt with experienced marked

relief usually within a short time after enriching

their diets with GLYCONUTRIENTS, along with

PHYTOGENENS in a complex that includes additional herbs

that assist the body in diffusing pain after strenuous

exercise or in conditions where there is chronic pain.

For best results, balancing all four systems of the

body speeds recovery time, so support from

PHYTONUTRIENTS and FOOD-MATRIX TYPE VITAMINS AND

MINERALS is also important. These nutrients play the

following support roles in the body:

GLYCONUTRIENTS: immune system modulation, either upward

or downward as needed; anti-inflammatory; anti-viral,

anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and delivery system for

all other nutrients.

PHYTOGENENS: hormonal balance, fat metabolism, bone

metabolism, stress management, energy levels, mental

clarity, help in building new nerve pathways.

PHYTOGENENS IN A SPORTS FORMULA: all of the above, plus

pain management and recovery from physical stress.

PHYTONUTRIENTS: help with repairs in the body of bone,

muscles, tendons, tissues, nerves; protect against

tumors; aid body's host defense system.

FOOD MATRIX TYPE VITAMINS AND MINERALS: nutrients that

the body can recognize as food and utilize 100%

(instead of the average 7% for non-food forms of

vitamins and minerals); act as a catalyst for other

nutrients in the body.

When relief of arthritis symptoms doesn't begin to

happen soon for someone I always investigate to see if

perhaps they might have an allergy to dairy products.

That can imitate a lot of the arthritic symptoms! My

nephew was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, but

when he got off of all dairy his symptoms all left, and

they discovered that he did not have arthritis,

actually. Also, a few are allergic to a lot of grains

such as wheat and corn, and that needs to be explored
