Re:Good book from a natural perspective on 'arthritis' and 'mental heal

[Guest guest]

Hi Dan,

Not a book, but the website www.ctds.info is a wealth of information.

The last book I read that had an interesting insight about both of those

topics was actually Dangerous Grains by Dr. Hoggan iirc (book is

downstairs and if i go check i'll not get back here).

It mentions that the number one presenting clinical symptom of celiac or

wheat or gluten intolerance is depression, and that anyone with arthritis

in their family should consider a wheat free trial (it is often thrown

around in these circles that arthritis first entered the fossil record

after grain domestication, particularly wheat in Egypt). Also mentions

the connection btwn. senility and wheat intolerance, and deficiencies

from intolerance causing mental symptoms.

Another awesome book is Rebuild from Depression - website for the book is

www.rebuild-from-depression.com written by a native nutrition studying,

recovered vegetarian mom I e-know.

There is also the microbe theory of arthritis- like lyme in joints.

Hoggan et al I think make the arguement that gluten damage to the gut

allows microbes through the intestine, gluten mediated damage to joints

allows the microbes to lodge in joints. So, arthritis can be both

issues.

Of course one must exacerbate that populations who can tolerate wheat

could be damaged in similar ways by other foodstuffs which they don't

tolerate- aka wheat is not the only natural postmodern poison, just a

likely one in certain demographic groups- whose ancestry is far from

where it was originally domesticated, perhaps.

Hello, Barb Lee here, new member. I have a little to share based on

my studies of Albrecht's soil fertility science and resulting

nutrition of food grown on mineralized soil.

Boron plays a supporting role in both arthritis and brain function.

There's no established RDA for boron, although it's been proven to

have great value in metabolism of hormones, and has some powerful

implications for diabetes (Curtiss Hunt, research biologist for

USDA). It's been proven that 3mg of dietary boron can prevent the

excretion of magnesium and calcium so is important for osteoporosis

prevention. According to Hunt, it is very difficult to find boron in

combination with other substances. The thrust of research is to find

ways to use boron to shove drugs into cells more effectively, so I

doubt we'll be seeing an RDA anytime soon.

According to Walters, " Minerals for the Genetic Code " boron

plays an important part in " higher brain function. " One particle of

aluminum can displace 3 particles of boron, so therein may lie a

connection of aluminum to Alzheimer's.

Those areas of the world which have the lowest soil boron content

(Jamaica) have the highest incidence of arthritis. Those with the

highest soil boron (India - tumeric) have the lowest incidence of

boron. Areas of , Australia are deficient in boron and have

a high incidence of arthritis, both in humans and animals.

Boron is a very tricky mineral to keep in the soil and is likely

absent in all forms of agricultural crops where the crop does not

absolutely demand it. Hence, most crops will not have an appreciable

level of boron in the modern diet.

So boron deficiency is a real possibility even though you will never

find an RDA for it.

I get real good results with minor arthritis pain taking 3 mg of

boron along with daily Mg and Ca.

Best regards,

Barb Lee
