Complement Cascade

   In this time,  day  and  age  in  a culture  with some are being left out,         this website serves a purpose. When I think cancer awareness and how        to prevent this dreadful disease, so many won’t have to suffer in the not       so distant  future.  The main reason  may indeed be kidney insufficiency    and  the reason  for it is adrenal exhaustion.  Which  is a common cause          for health problems.

   When you push yourself,  it creates stress… any  form of  stress cost      energy  —  the  adrenal  glands  supply energy  to the kidneys. Thereby    when  the adrenals are exhausted — the kidneys will be one of  the  first organ systems that suffer.  As  their  function  slows down  which leads          to incomplete removal of  uric acid  from the blood.

    In case after case:  biophotons signals  have been linked to arthritis             to a malfunction of  the kidneys. Which are suppose to remove uric acid    and  other  toxins  from  the  blood.  As  the  circulatory  system  tries  to dump this waste as  far  from the vital organs possible and with the first places in the body being the hands and  feet.

  With the hands and  feet being the most common sites of early arthritis symptoms.  And  if  the situation continues, more and more joints, will be affected.  If the kidneys  aren’t up to the task,  the uric acid  will remain in the blood  and will eventually be deposited in the joints. Where it triggers chronic inflammation as uric acid over loads in the joints.

    Whereas,  the blood will then dump it into tissues; thus creating worse    symptoms called  rheumatism.  We’re  a society  filled  with  inflammation and  with 304 words  ending  with the letters “itis.”  Its important to know   how  your body works  and the reason  “why”  detoxification  is important.

    In  2011,  the  Associate  Professor of  Immunology  and  Rheumatology, William Robinson  and his colleagues at Stanford University carried out a study showing  Osteoarthritic  joint tissues  containing a larger number of  migatory inflammatory cells… that secrete certain substances early in the progression of  the disease.

   The presence of  these substances  also triggers the complement cascade.   Which is a chain of molecular events that eventually escalate into an attack mounted  by  the body’s own defense system.  Usually only depleted against invading micro organisms  against  the  joint itself.  Doctors have witnessed evidence of  inflammation in the cells of  arthritis patients.

   But the Stanford team discovery of a heightened number of inflammatory   cells  in  the early stages of  the disease, before it causes symptoms.  Suggest that inflammation could be the central ‘driver’ of osteoarthritis as well. This means osteoarthritis…. like rheumatoid arthritis,  is in  fact an autoimmune condition. Whereas the body begins to attack itself  due to an enhanced gene expression that activates inflammatory proteins.

   Therefore,  when the researchers examined how the process could lead to osteoarthritis.  They discovered:  a cluster of proteins called,  the membrane attack complex (MAC.)  While a breakdown product of  cartilage destruction called,  ‘fibromodulin’  keeps switching  the  compliment system on,  thereby, creating a continuing cycle of  destruction.

   Its this low grade complement activation that contributes to the death of     healthy cells  and  the development of  degenerative disease.  And  a  process which Robinson considers, the paradigm shift  and how medicine deals with  these diseases.  Whereas,  these  findings  have an implication how medicine deals with them.  Rather than treating  the conditions  as an inevitable part of  growing old.

    This  research  also suggest that individual lifestyle,  might be analyzed       to determine what’s causing chronic inflammation. Thereby, checking such  factors as being over weight, while having an imbalance of  fatty acids and  considering  food intolerances  from  common allergies or dangerous  food   preservatives that might be culprits to chronic inflammation.

   Some doctors may never even mention these factors as a cause, make sure you ask the doctor to consider your alkaline balance, electrolyte/potassium levels.  Therefore, being able to recommend  multi vitamin/mineral complex, and B complex with at least 25 mg. B5 (pantothenic acid), B3 (niacinamide), zinc 50 mg., vitamin C up to 3000 mg., vitamin E 400 IUs, selenium 200mcg. and vitamin D 2000 – 3000 IUs (if deficient in any.)

   Also  a  person  might  want  to  consider  systemic enzymes,  glucosamine  3200mg – chondroitin 3600 mg -MSM 1200 mg, SAMe 1200 mg, Pyenogenol, Undenature   type II  Collagen   10 mg,   Hyaluronic acid  40 mg,   Bromelain 90 mg 3 times daily, Soybean/Avocado Unsaponifiable (ASU) and Curcumin 400 – 800 mg and Peptamen.   (Seek out  a Naturopathic Practitioner. )
