I got this e-mail from a doctor that works for a group I subscribe to.
Before I tried this, the bursitis in my hip was so bad, I couldn't walk two blocks without sitting down. Now all symptoms are gone, it's only a memory.
In addition, I quit taking the SAMe, Glucosamine Suflate, Chondroitin Sulfate, and MSM.
Here is the part of the e-mail that explains the diet:
For both arthritis and bursitis, treatment is similar:
Try the dietary approach first, and if that doesn't work, take stronger action.
Foods that may contribute to chronic inflammation are foods with a high glycemic index (foods that convert to sugar quickly), such as fruit juices, sugars, simple starches, or rice cakes, foods heavy in polyunsaturated or saturated fats, and foods high in arachidonic acid. Some specific foods to avoid are:
* Fatty cuts of red meat (high in saturated fats)
* Organ meats: liver, kidney, and so forth (high in arachidonic acid)
* Egg yolks (high in arachidonic acid)
* Pasta (high glycemic index)
* Juices (high glycemic index)
* Rice, especially rice cakes (high glycemic index)
* White bread (substitute whole grain breads such as rye or whole wheat)
* Nightshade Plants (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, peppers, paprika)
Glycemic index charts can be found on the Internet.
Better choices are foods with a low glycemic index and foods that are heavy in monounsaturated fats. Some specific good foods are:
* Salmon and other fish
* Oatmeal
* Fresh fruits and vegetables
* Olives and olive oil
* Peanuts and other nuts
* Whey proteins
I hope this helps.

Flax seeds & fish oil are great - but fruit juices are a big no-no and it says so in the diet - too high of a glycemic index. |

Insulin is inflammatory, so the object of a low glycemic diet is to keep the insulin secretions at a minimum. |

I used essential oil like castor oil for Joint Pain for any relief. It has a substance that can absorbs our deepest skin and can reduce any pain. No supplements and no more meds needed. |

Arthritis is actually very painful, as it gives very bad joint pains. One should try to increase intake of omega-3 fats, which are found in salmon, sardines, mackerel, trout, flaxseeds and walnuts. One should also go for exercising, it increases strength and reduces joint pain. You can find some good exercise for arthritis here Joint pain treatment Chantilly, VA |
