Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 See http://story.news./news? tmpl=story2 & cid=97 & ncid=751 & e=10 & u=/hsn/20020821/hl_hsn/natural_carboh ydrates_contribute_to_arthritis The carbs are carbohydrates that naturally occur in the body, and the interaction with the immune system is suspected as what causes the buildup of the a complex in the joints, and subsequent inflamation. Microorganisms may be involved in triggering the immune response that results in the buildup and inflammation. They do not currently tie this process to carbohydrates consumed in the diet.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Hi All, This is something I could dig up on the issue and it seems pretty good. The women of the web page given by Francesca has not published any results. Cheers, Al. " The scientific literature validates the usefulness of fasting in the control of joint inflammation. Elimination diets are variably successful. Fasting followed by a vegetarian diet can produce a sustained positive response measured clinically and by laboratory variables of inflammation; the efficacy of such an approach appears to hinge on the alteration of fecal flora. Swaying the balance of dietary fats in favor of the omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids has an an iinflammatory effect, but does not appear to correct the basic immunologic processes involved in the development of the arthropathies. Practical guidelines for the application of this information are offered ." PMID: 10377605 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
