I am back. - writing about joint pain and fatigue
August 22, 2006 drellencutler
Many people experience joint pain and fatigue. They can be young or old- no real difference. They may notice it is worse some days and better other days. And perhaps when they are on vacation it is hardly recognizable. Could it just be getting older, or can there be something systemic.
I have found that allergies or sensitivities can be the underlying trigger as well as one’s diet. If you are one of those that suffers from one or both of these symptoms, dry eating less sugar (sometimes chronium picolinate can be helpful do ward off those sugar cravings) and definitely avoid the grains. These include wheat, oats, millet, and even rice. Try doing quinoa, and buckwheat. They do not seem to promote inflammation. The other grains and sugars often do. You should expect to feel relief in ten days and I recommend introducing a digestive enzyme with meals for good digestion and a protease enzyme in between meals for reduction of inflammation. There are also adrenal enzyme formulas for help with energy and stamina.

Pardon me, seems that wordpress cutted my message, what i was trying to say : fatigue is connected with the lack of iron (esp.on women) - i am 31 yrs old and I was advised by physician to take during my period (2 days before, during and 2,3 days after) -iron in pills of 15mg. But, I want to take iron naturally -foods as there are some periods in the year or during the month that I really feel phycically weak (I did blood lab.test 2 weeks ago -everything is fine but my ‘iron issue’).
Best regards and keep on blogging

In my practice, The Beverly Hills Comprehensive Medical Group, we recommend Fish Oil Supplements for inflammation. They are a natural Cox-2 inhibitor which is an anti-inflammatory. For joint pain and flexibility we recommend a combination of glucosamine and MSM from DC laboratories. We sell in the neighborhood of 400 bottles of fish oil per month. There are some great articles by Barry Sears about inflammation and his anti-inflammation diet.

I have bad inflamation and paint in my joints, mainly knees and fingers, but sometimes it effects neck, elbows and back. I have tried many treatments with no luck. West. Med. can’t figure it out and doesn’t think it is RA. I just began seeing a NAET prac. in San Diego. So far I have not found relief but we have only eliminated the first 4 so I know it it prob. to soon to feel effects. I read your part about joint pain and wondered if the foods you suggest elim. is perm. or will the NAET treatments help? Because up until now I never hearrd about rice being a potential inflammatory, and that is about all I have been eating since I started the treatments and I think I feel worse?
I wish I were in SF to come to you but….Hopefully you may have a suggestion i can pass on to my practitioner.
I have also ordered your new book on Enzyme therapy, maybe that is the way to go!?
Thanks!

Great blog! Thanks for sharing. Could joint pain be due to heavy exercise?
9. Ellen Cutler | March 2, 2007 at 11:25 pm
Heavy exercise can probably be the root of joint pain. Enzymes can definitely reduce the inflammation. have you read my book, MicroMiracles, Discover the Healing Power of Enzymes.

Of the many things we can do to our bodies, intake of the essential elements of life are among the most important. I have never been one to just stop the pain, but to find the root cause and eliminate or lessen it. I appreciate the inputs from these and other professionals in this area of life that touches so many people, some more than others…

Ok so I had NO idea that mine AND my husband’s joint pains could be caused by our allergies??? That’s very interesting. Him and I both suffer from sinusitis REALLY badly. He suffers from joint pains every day and NEITHER of us sleep. EVER… Looks like we seriously need a change in our eating habits.

Do you follow Dr. Dan Murphy’s research at all? He has done extensive research on Omega-3 fish oils and the proper ratio of EPA to DHA that we need. He’s amazing!

back in october i went on an atkins/south beach diet to lose baby weight…after a while i noticed that my hips and legs didn’t hurt/ache anymore. I finally attributed to the elimination/reduction of sugar/carbs. I weaned my self off for the holidays and now am experiencing serious pain in my hips again which i definitely attribute to increase in sugar…i will be cutting it back out again this week.
