Rheumatoid arthritis can be both a disabling and a
disfiguring disease. Do you know the distinguishing features of RA? How
familiar are you with the disease's potential extra-articular manifestations?
RA is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the small joints in
the hands and feet in which synovial
inflammation leads too joint erosion and deformity. Rheumatoid is an autoimmune
disorder that affects the joints also has systemic extra articular
manifestations. RA is more common in women over the age of 40.
For arthritis, enzymes work by targeting various tissues and organs in the body and help to restore a healthy balance between anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines (kinetic messenger cells). When your body is trying very hard to get better, cells must work smart, do the right things, and do them in the right sequence. They must also have sufficient stamina to complete the job. A type of systemic oral enzymes called "proteolytic" have a communicating line with the master cytokine, also known as TGF beta (transforming growth factor). It is for this reason that systemic oral enzymes, in the European medical community, are known as "biological response modifiers"; they aid healing, they have positive effects on inflammation and they help in pain control, but their overriding and most notable effect is that they enhance the healing response. They do so by their interactions with a number of cell systems.
Proteolytic enzymes, such as bromelain,
papain, pancreatin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and rutin, are essential
regulators and modulators of the inflammatory response. Among their
important actions is a seven- to ten-fold increase in the “appetite” of
macrophages and in the potency of natural killer (NK) cells
Types of Arthritis
25 percent of them cause severe pain (seven or higher on a zero to 10 point scale). There are more than 100 different forms of arthritis and related diseases. The most common types include osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), fibromyalgia and gout.
