Causes of Arthritis

 

Rheumatoid arthritis is classified as an autoimmune disease in which

the body attacks its own tissue.

 

" A primary cause of most rheumatoid arthritis appears to be delayed

food allergy and the often related problem of abnormal permeability

of the intestinal wall, " says Dr. Braly.

 

 

DRUGS ASSOCIATED WITH A HIGHER INCIDENCE OF ARTHRITIS

 

 

According to Dr. Braly, this abnormal permeability allows

incompletely digested food particles to pass through the walls of

the digestive tract and into the bloodstream, where, if not cleared,

they are eventually deposited in tissue.

 

There they can cause an inflammatory reaction, and, because the

body is allergic to the deposited food particles, an autoimmune

disturbance in which the body's own immune system begins to attack

the tissue around the joints.

 

Other causes of rheumatoid arthritis include genetic susceptibility,

lifestyle factors, nutritional factors, food allergies, and

microorganisms.

 

There may also be an association between rheumatoid arthritis and

abnormal bowel function.

 

According to the Physicians Desk Reference the following drugs are

associated with side effects of arthritis. (Statistics refer to the

percentage of individuals affected.)

 

 

 

TheraCys BCG Live (Intravesical) (1.0-7.1%)

 

Tonocard Tablets (4.7%)

 

Videx Tablets, Powder for Oral Solution, & amp; Pediatric Powder for

Oral Solution (1-11%)

 

Wellbutrin Tablets (3.1%)
