Is Knee Surgery really the answer for Arthritis?

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 18:20:02 +0000

A Knee Surgery for Arthritis Is Called Sham By GINA KOLATA This article – first published in the NY Times and The New England Journal of Medicine in 2002 bears repeating this year, 2008, as many who did not have knee pain in 2002 may now have it and, if the pain is debilitating enough, may be searching for a solution. A popular operation for arthritis of the knee worked no better than a sham procedure in which patients were sedated while surgeons pretended to operate, researchers are reporting today. The operation — arthroscopic surgery for the pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis — is done on at least 225,000 middle-age and older Americans each year at a cost of more than a billion dollars to Medicare, the Department of Veterans Affairs and private insurers. It involves making three small incisions in the knee; inserting an arthroscope, a thin instrument that allows surgeons to see the joint; and then flushing debris from the knee or shaving rough areas of cartilage from the joint and then flushing it. In the study, to be published today in The New England Journal of Medicine, investigators at the Houston Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Baylor College of Medicine report that while patients often said they felt better after the surgery, their improvement was just wishful thinking. Tests of knee functions revealed that the operation had not helped, and those who got the placebo surgery reported feeling just as good as those who had had the real operation. "Here we are doing all this surgery on people and it's all a sham," said Dr. Baruch Brody, an ethicist at Baylor who helped design the study. The study dealt only with arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis, not with other common knee operations. After learning of the results, Anthony J. Principi, the secretary of veterans affairs, said yesterday that the study would "change the practice of orthopedic medicine in the United States." But Veterans Affairs Departmentofficials stopped short of saying they would no longer pay for the surgery. Medicare and private insurers typically review such studies before deciding whether to change their reimbursement practices. The 180 participants in the study were randomly assigned to have the operation or to have placebo surgery in which surgeons simply made cuts in their knees so the patients would not know if they had the surgery. After they recovered from the procedures, most patients said their knee pain had improved, and they continued to say they were better for the two years that the researchers followed their progress. But Dr. Nelda P. Wray, who is chief of the section of health services research at Baylor, said, "On the objective scale, no one was better at any time point." Some orthopedists interviewed about the study said they had wondered for some time about the operation's effectiveness. Dr. Kenneth Fine, an orthopedic surgeon at the George Washington University School of Medicine, said the procedure had long seemed to do nothing for patients' underlying arthritis. "There are pretty good success rates in terms of patient satisfaction," Dr. Fine said, "but I have always been skeptical." Dr. William J. Tipton Jr., executive vice president and chief executive of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, also said he had questioned the operation. "I'm both a patient and a physician," Dr. Tipton said, explaining that he has osteoarthritis. "My knee is buckling now, but I'm not going to have arthroscopy done. I recognize that it's not going to help." Still, he said he would like to see the study repeated before doctors decided whether to do the operation. "Gradually," Dr. Tipton speculated, "physicians would say to their patients: `I know you've seen a lot about arthroscopy, but you know what? It doesn't work very well for osteoarthritis of the knee.' " But a past president of the orthopedic surgeons' academy, Dr. Douglas Jackson of Long Beach, Calif., said that the study's population, mostly men in a veterans' hospital, was not typical of what he had seen in his private practice, but that he would tell his patients about their experience. The research began when an orthopedic surgeon at the Houston veterans' hospital, Dr. J. Bruce Moseley, who is now the team physician for Houston's two professional basketball teams, approached Dr. Wray suggesting a study that would compare washing the knee joint with washing and scraping in patients with arthritis. Dr. Wray had a bolder idea. "She said, `How do you know that what you are seeing is not a placebo effect?' " Dr. Moseley recalled. "My response was, `This is surgery.' She said, `I hate to tell you this, but surgery may have the biggest placebo effect of all.' " Placebo studies of surgery are almost never done. Many doctors consider them unethical because patients could undergo risks with no benefits. Working with Dr. Brody, the ethicist, the group tried to make the placebo treatment no more dangerous than daily life. Still, of 324 consecutive patients who were asked to participate, 144 declined. For those who agreed, the day of surgery meant being wheeled into an operating room while neither they nor any of the medical staff knew what their treatment would be. When they were on the operating table, Dr. Moseley, who did all the operations, opened a sealed envelope telling him whether the patient was to have the surgery or not. Those in the placebo group received a drug that put them to sleep. Unlike those getting the real operation, they did not have general anesthesia. Dr. Moseley made small cuts in their knees to simulate an operation. He bent and straightened the knee and asked for surgical instruments, just in case the patient was partly conscious. An assistant sloshed water in a bucket to make the sound of a knee being flushed clean. The paper in The New England Journal is accompanied by two editorials. One, by Sam Horng and Dr. Franklin G. Miller of the National Institutes of Health, asks whether placebo surgery is unethical. The controversy, they wrote, comes because doctors assume that patients in clinical research should not be put at risk if they cannot benefit, and placebo surgery involves risk. But, they say, clinical research is different from medical therapy; its aim is not to help those in the study but to help future patients. To be ethical, they say, a study with placebo surgery must meet three criteria: it must not place patients at undue risk; the benefits of learning whether the surgery works must be worth any potential risk to the patients; and the patients must give informed consent. In the current case, they wrote, all those objectives were met and the study "exemplifies the ethically justified use of placebo surgery." In the second editorial, Dr. David T. Felson of Boston University and Dr. Joseph Buckwalter of the University of Iowa note that if there were large beneficial effects from the surgery, the study should have found them. "Although the study may not have been large enough to permit the detection of any small effects," they wrote, "the data presented do not suggest that there were any.," In a telephone interview this week, Dr. Felson, a professor of medicine and a rheumatologist by training, praised the research but said it remained to be seen whether doctors and patients would abandon the procedure. "There's a pretty good-sized industry out there that is performing this surgery," Dr. Felton said. "It constitutes a good part of the livelihood of some orthopedic surgeons. That is a reality." Beneficial and less invasive solutions are out there. One that has proven to be ‘the solution ‘ for many is available at www.bestcmo.com

Exercise as Good as Surgery for Knee Pain

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:16:15 +0000

An exercise regime is as effective as surgery for people with a chronic pain in the front part of their knee, known as chronic patellofemoral syndrome (PFPS). PFPS is often treated with arthroscopic surgery, in which equipment is inserted through small incisions in your knee to diagnose and fix the problem. However, there is little evidence that this treatment is the best option. The study, conducted by researchers at The ORTON Research Institute in Helsinki, Finland, compared arthroscopy with exercise in 56 patients with PFPS. One group of participants was treated with knee arthroscopy and an eight-week home exercise program, while a second group received only the exercise program. After nine months, patients in both groups experienced similar reductions in pain and improvements in knee mobility. A follow-up conducted two years later still found no differences in outcomes between the two groups. The only difference discovered was in cost: those who had received the surgery had to pay over $1,300 more than the exercise-only group. The researchers concluded that arthroscopy is not a cost-effective treatment for PFPS. Sources: Science Daily December 13, 2007 BMC Medicine December 13, 2007, 5:38

NEW Vitamin News by Fred Van Liew

Mon, 12 Nov 2007 17:07:34 +0000

Ascorbic acid, or U.S. Pharmaceutical grade vitamin C, simply cannot eliminate scurvy. In contrast, a few naturally grown lemons consumed and the scurvy disappears! Why? Vitamin C as found in naturally grown whole food lemons and other fruits and vegetables has over 300 co-factors that may be present. These allow the vitamin C to be identified and fully utilized by the body’s own intelligence at the DNA level. (Dr. Szent Györgyi ) The U.S.Pharmaceutical Grade synthetic vitamins and minerals used in most supplements today simply do not have these co factors. Man in his finite thinking, looking to standardize amounts of single nutrients using mg. and mcg on the bottles, has all but eliminated these vital co-factors from the final nutritional product. He has extracted the key nutrient, and left behind all the catalysts and workers that make it perform in the body. Often the nutrient itself may be damaged or contaminated. The body can and will seek co-factors from within itself to “make” these synthetic or processed, fractionated whole food supplements work. Depending on diet and daily stressors, the body will deplete itself of these cofactors over time until further imbalance occurs. Finally, without any more co-factors from within, much of the perceived positive effect of these synthetic or processed “natural” nutrients cease. With few of Nature’s co-factors present the synthetics simply cannot perform. This helps explain the hope we get from a bottle of “magic” for a few weeks or months, possibly even a year or slightly more, only to plateau and perhaps crash. We end up with less energy, tired, exhausted, sometimes with pain, foggy thinking, acid systemically with the return of old symptoms, often more severe than before. The answer is to seek Synbiotic 100% Organic Whole Food Grown™ support. This natural fermentation process, preceded by Supercritical CO2 extracted concentrates (sometimes up to 800:1) keeps the co-factors that are naturally occurring. Neither the nutrients nor the co factors are damaged. The raw organics have to be sourced from around the world to find those rich in bio-photon life supporting energy, free of chemicals and molds, still rich in natural nutrients. They are protected from damaging x-rays and irradiation during their entire journey to your body. Unlike other fermentation processes, the Synbiotic fermentation perfected by Dr. Paul Yanick allows no mold to grow during or after this process. Today, mold is our enemy and needs to be cleared from the liver and systemically. During the Synbiotic fermentation process the full spectrum of vitamins, minerals and amino acids are naturally linked or matrixed with carrier proteins. This allows the nutrients with their still present co-factors to be utilized inside the cell immediately, bypassing often compromised digestion. A full, balanced support for the entire body is available on a daily basis, allowing the body to make decisions in its priority based on its own perfect knowledge. Lessening or elimination of many physical challenges is the body’s responsibility. Ours is to provide the resources for the body to perform. Body response can be immediate. Support vs. stimulation. Clearing vs. congestion. Coherence in body functions rather than confusion. Balance in the body starting within each cell is the result. The definition of disease (dis-ease) could be imbalance. The definition of wellness could be coherent balance. Read and listen to the wealth of information now found on www.trinisol.com. Print out the well researched articles of Dr. Paul Yanick, who has over 300 published articles and books, and multiple patents, including one of the most popular hearing aids still used today. Listen to an audio interview of Dr. Yanick himself on this subject found on the presentation link of the Trinisol web site Truth resonates with those seeking it.

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 23:21:13 +0000

What is CAM? CAM is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine. Conventional medicine is medicine as practiced by holders of M.D. (medical doctor) or D.O. (doctor of osteopathy) degrees and by their allied health professionals, such as physical therapists, psychologists, and registered nurses. Some health care providers practice both CAM and conventional medicine. While some scientific evidence exists regarding some CAM therapies, for most there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies--questions such as whether these therapies are safe and whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions for which they are used. The list of what is considered to be CAM changes continually, as those therapies that are proven to be safe and effective become adopted into conventional health care and as new approaches to health care emerge. Are complementary medicine and alternative medicine different from each other? Yes, they are different. Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine. An example of a complementary therapy is using, to help lessen a patient's discomfort following surgery. Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine. An example of an alternative therapy is using a special diet to treat cancer instead of undergoing surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy that has been recommended by a conventional doctor. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) What is NCCAM's role in the field of CAM? NCCAM is the Federal Government's lead agency for scientific research on CAM. . NCCAM's mission is to explore complementary and alternative healing practices in the context of rigorous science, train CAM researchers, and disseminate authoritative information to the public and professionals.

Why did I get Arthritis

Wed, 07 Nov 2007 23:17:30 +0000

About 37 million people in America have arthritis of some kind, which is one out of every 7 Americans. Here is some insight into the most studied causes and relatively new and much talked about solution. As we now live longer we have an increasing chance of getting arthritis. The good news is there are now non drug solutions to this ‘quality of life’ robbing condition. If you want to read about a state of the art non – drug solution go to www.cis9.com and review the studies about a remarkable supplement, CMO, that you will take for a short time and receive extremely long term benefits. • Genetics Exactly how much heredity or genetics contributes to the cause of arthritis is not well understood. However, there are likely genetic variations that can contribute to the cause of arthritis. Arthritic conditions seem to run in families. Is the cause genetics or lifestyle or a combination of both. Experts disagree but lifestyle is the factor that can be altered, genetics cannot • Aging Bones and Connective Tissue Cartilage becomes more brittle with age and has less of a capacity to repair itself. As people grow older they are more likely to develop arthritis. Omega 3 oils and consistent exercise can help to offset the inevitable. • Weight Challenges Because joint damage is partly dependent on the load the joint has to support, excess body weight can lead to arthritis. This is especially true of the hips and knees that can be worn quickly in heavier patients. One more reason to exercise and control food intake. • Previous Joint Injury Joint damage can cause irregularities in the normal smooth joint surface. Prophylactic CMO (www.bestcmo.com) taken shortly after joint damage has been known to offset any beginning of arthritis. • Employment Related Joint Aggravation Workers in some specific occupations seem to have a higher risk of developing arthritis than other jobs. These are primarily high demand jobs such as assembly line workers and heavy construction. Again, CMO taken once a year is a great preventative for these workers. • Some High-Level Sports It is difficult to determine how much sports participation contributes to development of arthritis. Certainly, sports participation can lead to joint injury and subsequent arthritis. However, the benefits of activity likely outweigh any risk of arthritis. CMO is routinely taken by some athletes to save their joints from the destruction many athletes experience. • Illness or Infection People who experience a joint infection (septic joint), multiple episodes of gout, or other medical conditions, can develop arthritis of the joint. A general detox program will help these people, followed with a course of CMO www.bestcmo.com.

Still Impressive - The Natural Fatty Acid – Cetyl Myristoleate

Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:38:28 +0000

In a placebo controlled study, patients with chronic knee Osteoarthritis, were given supplements containing the ingredient cetyl myristoleate (CMO). Those who took the supplements showed significant improved range of motion and overall functioning compared to the control group. This study, published in the August 2002, Journal of Rhuematology, was the first notable CMO study since H. W. Diehl’s clinical study on CMO reported in the March 1994 issue of The Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Even more recently, May, 2005, a study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research reports that a topical cream containing CMO, applied twice daily for one week, was equally as effective as the supplements. The CMO cream improved stair climbing, range of motion and general ability to “get up and go”. Kevin Trudeau, in his 2006 book, More Natural “Cures” Revealed, lists www.authenticcmo.com , 800 224 8912 (PermaHEALTH, Inc) as a resource to find quality topical cream, capsules and chewable CMO products.

Qlink Pendant vs. Expertise 3P Mist Spray

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 21:16:15 +0000

Reducing our personal biofield exposure to Electro Magnetic Fields (EMFs) appears to be prudent these days in our apparently ever increasing, all encompassing chronic exposure to technical gadgets emitting high levels of EMFs. Here is the low down on 2 products, designed, according to their manufacturers, to curb the detriments of EMF exposure. First – the well known - Qlink - a sleek pendant with numerous studies to back up it’s claims that its Sympathetic Resonant Technology (SRT) is tuned to optimize the human energy system through resonance. • In brainwave studies, (EEG) the Qlink reduced the harmful effects of EMFs – the fields around computers, cell phones and other devices. • In live blood studies, the Qlink led to greater cellular integrity and more efficient blood oxygenation. • World-class athletes reported that the Qlink improved their mental focus and endurance, giving them a significant edge. For a onetime cost of $99.95, you can own a Qlink pendant . Its lifetime is unlimited. Go to www.qlinkamerica.com Second –the latest product – EXPERTISE 3P –A liquid mist that Clarins of Paris, the cosmetic manufacturer, instructs you to ‘mist over entire face any time of day or night, alone or over make-up.’ ‘A groundbreaking patented protection product that helps prevent accelerated skin aging caused by electromagnetic waves and daily environmental pollution. With Clarins exclusive Magnetic Defense and Anti-Pollution Complexes, this gentle, refreshing mist invisibly shields skin, prolonging its youth, health and beauty. ‘ Ingredients : ‘ Our Magnetic Defense Complex has Thermus Thermophillus and Rhodiola Rosea, two powerful plant extracts which reinforce the skin’s natural barrier and provide biological protection against electromagnetic waves.’ Expertise 3P Mist is priced at $40.00 for 3.5 oz. and is available at http://www.gloss.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2595988 According to one physics major, Josh Warner, under ‘readers comments’, at http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/31/clarins-expertise-3p-anti-electro-magnetic-radiation-mist/“EM radiation can NOT be stopped by a mist, unless the mist consists of pulverized conducting metals and they arrange themselves in a precise lattice upon contact with the surface. Note that this would be extremely toxic due to the metals, and the spontaneous arrangement is probably impossible.” Our research at http://www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep2/report.php?type=INGREDIENT&id=8262 shows the two plant extracts mentioned under Clarin’s ingredient list for Expertise 3P are well known UVB blockers and are used in products to provide sunscreen protection.

CMO for Arthritis vs Glucosamine & Chondrotin for Arthritis

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 21:26:14 +0000

Let’s take a look at the pluses and minuses of the 2 most popular ‘non drug’ products available today for the relief of arthritic pain. CMO (Cerasomal cis-9-cetylmyristoleate) • CMO is a natural supplement derived from a fatty acid ester complex found in cattle. All CMO manufactured in the USA uses fatty acid ester compounds from USA raised cattle. • Dose – 3 capsules, each containing 385 mg of CMO, taken twice a day. This suggested dose matches the dose used by the late Dr. Len Sands in his first trial of 48 patients testing the efficacy of his new product in 1994. • CMO is taken for only 10 -20 days. After that time most continue to see added benefits from CMO for several months even though they no longer take CMO. • Dr. Sands believed CMO worked on the memory T Cells of the immune system, halting the arthritic process and allowing the body to heal itself. Many who took CMO years ago still enjoy a much more pain free existence, without drugs, and they have never taken more than 1 or 2 bottles of CMO. Studies available at www.cis9.com • CMO has proven effective for many auto immune illnesses other than arthritis. Studies have yet to be done and published to prove the amazing benefits that users have reported over the years. The product sells by word of mouth and sales are increasing, world-wide, every year. • Downside? CMO is not for everyone. Those who have been taking immune suppressing medications for their arthritic condition will not benefit from CMO because these drugs suppress the immune system and CMO works on an active immune system. Details at www.bestcmo.com Glucosamine and Chondrotin • These 2 natural ingredients, when taken together in proper proportions have a documented history of greatly reducing pain for arthritics. Together they have a synergistic effect in patients that have significant symptoms from joint pain. • Glucosamine aids in the formation of connective tissue including collagen and cartilage and a deficiency or depletion of Glucosamine may be associated with joint and tendon problems, indicating a need for increased intake. • Chondroitin: The cartilage in the joints act as a spongy shock absorber. For this it needs special substances to attract fluid. Chondroitin, another natural substance made in the body, attracts fluid into the cartilage like a liquid magnet. Without this fluid, cartilage would become malnourished, thinner and more fragile. In this way Chondroitin protects cartilage from breakdown and also stimulates the synthesis of new cartilage, important for healthy joints. • In an 8 year study funded by NIH Glucosamine and Chondrotin together were better at relieving moderate to severe joint pain than the well advertised drug,, Celebrex. The cost for the supplements is significantly less than the drug which potentially can cause severe side effects. • Those with an allergy to seafood should not take most Glucosamine and Chondrotin products. However there is one available that is made with soy. • For those that have trouble swallowing pills the liquid version, Synflex, www.synflexsales.com is getting rave reviews from customers for its benefits and the ease of consuming. A new joint health supplement with patented Biocell Collagen 2 ,Glucosamine and Chondrotin is now available. HylaJoint http://www.hylajoint.com

Pet CMO – Chewable Arthritis Solution

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 21:04:56 +0000

Finally available - a pet friendly, liver flavored, chewable version of the popular CMO (Cerasomal cis-9-cetyl myristoleate) arthritis product www.bestcmo.com used for years by humans with amazing long term effects for stubborn joint challenges. PermaHEALTH, Inc, www.permahealth.com, the exclusive manufacturer of Duoflex CMO is happy to announce the release of chewable CMO for pets. This new version of our tried and true arthritis product is a definite winner for immediate results, short term use and long term benefits. CMO for animals or humans is an alternative treatment option to the chronic use of anti inflammatory medications, many with possible side effects, and nutritional supplements like Glucosamine and Chondrotin, which are expensive and need to be taken continuously to maintain results of pain free joints.. Chewable Pet CMO tablets, like CMO capsules, are beneficial to all animals with joint challenges. One bottle, 60 capsules, is all that most animals need to consume to stop the arthritic process and return to being the active, agile, playful pet of the days before joint pain slowed them down. Most dogs and cats respond posuitively within a couple of days of having the tablets offered to them. The compelling liver flavor makes it easy to give to most animals, as it can be taken whole, broken into appropriate size or crushed and added to a small amount of food. Dosage should continue for 10 – 20 days, depending on the animal’s response. After that time period you will notice steady continued improvement in your pet’s joint function, even though you no longer are giving your pet CMO. How great is that? Once and done with ongoing benefits. How can that be? CMO appears to stop the arthritic process and allow the body to then heal itself. Will you ever need to repeat the dosage for your pet? Maybe, in a year or so, as your pet ages, a second does will be needed for arthritis in another joint. And again, maybe you’ll never need to give another dose. Questions?
