Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Namaste Marilette, My 18 yr old nephew along w/45 yr old father both have this disease. Lately, the 18 yr old has gout on his left foot. What would be the protocol for ankyralosing spondylitis and should I recommend that the son soak his left foot in salt water during our healing session. Love and Light, Lori ================================ Dear Lori, Namaste. Thank you for your email. Medical Background: Ankylosing Spondylitis(AS) is the primary disease in the group of diseases known as Spondylitis, Spondyloarthropathy or Spondyloarthritis. Ankylosis means " fusion " , which may be fibrous, or bony. Spondylitis means " inflammation of the spine. " Ankylosing spondylitis (pronounced ank-kih-low-sing spon-dill-eye-tiss), is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, although other joints can become involved. It causes inflammation of the spinal joints (vertebrae) that can lead to severe, chronic pain and discomfort. In the most advanced cases (but not in all cases), this inflammation can lead to new bone formation on the spine, causing the spine to fuse in a fixed, immobile position, sometimes creating a forward-stooped posture. This forward curvature of the spine is called kyphosis. AS can also cause inflammation, pain and stiffness in other areas of the body such as the shoulders, hips, ribs, heels and small joints of the hands and feet. Sometimes the eyes can become involved (known as Iritis or Uveitis), and rarely, the lungs and heart can be affected. The hallmark feature of AS is the involvement of the sacroiliac (SI) joints during the progression of the disease, which are the joints at the base of the spine, where the spine joins the pelvis. Currently, there is no known medical cure for AS, but there are treatments and medications available to reduce symptoms and manage the pain. Recent studies show that the new biologic medications can potentially slow or halt the disease progression in some people. Although the exact cause of AS is unknown, we do know that genetics play a key role in AS. Most individuals who have AS also have a gene that produces a " genetic marker " - in this case, a protein - called HLA-B27. This marker is found in over 95% of people in the causcasion popluation with AS (the association between ankylosing spondylitis and HLA-B27 varies greatly between ethnic and racial groups. It is important to note, however, that you do not have to be HLA-B27 positive to have AS. Also, a majority of the people with this marker never contract ankylosing spondylitis. Scientists know that other genes, along with a triggering environmental factor, such as a bacterial infection, are needed to trigger AS in susceptible people. It is thought that perhaps AS starts when the defenses of the intestines start breaking down and bacteria from the intestines pass into the bloodstream directly into the region where the sacroiliac joints are located. The risk factors that predispose a person to ankylosing spondylitis include: -Testing positive for the HLA-B27 marker -A family history of AS -Frequent gastrointestinal infections Unlike other forms of arthritis and rheumatic diseases, general onset of AS commonly occurs in younger people, between the ages of 17-35. However, it can affect children and those who are much older. AS is more common in men, but occurs in women as well. Gout is the form of arthritis in which extremely painful inflammatory attacks can occur as a result of the participation of uric acid crystals from the blood. It usually affects the wrists, knees or feet, being most common probably in the joints of the big toe. In contrast to rheumatoid arthritis, gout is more commonly found in men than in women. When it does occur in women it is usually in the post-menopausal phase of life. Gout, like ankylosing spondylitis, is an ancient disease and has even been found in Egyptian mummies. Traditionally the cause of gout has been linked to high living. This may well be true since the consumption of large rich meals accompanied by plenty of alcohol would stimulate production of uric acid and concurrently inhibit its disposal by the kidney. However, many gout sufferers lead a very moderate lifestyle and suffer the disorder due to some defect in their system, which allows the build-up of the uric acid in the bloodstream to reach a level at which its solubility is exceeded and it therefore crystallizes out. The pain is caused by the physical presence of the acid crystals in the joint lining. Sources - Spondylitis Association of America, Pranic Healing: 1.
