Arthritis and Nightshade Vegetables - Jeffrey Dach MDArthritis and Nightshade Vegetables by Jeffrey Dach MDSusan, a Young Woman with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Susan, a 4. 6 year old female retired nurse arrived in my office with a chief complaint of joint pain, involving the hands. Susan was post menopausal, and had been taking prednisone (a synthetic steroid) for her diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Susan was started on bioidentical hormones including Bi- Est (estrogen), Progesterone, Testosterone and DHEA. Susan consulted several rheumatologists, and was prescribed methotrexate, a mainstay immunosuppressive medical treatment. And now I am pain free.”Tom, a Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis On AZTRecovery on Gluten Free, Nightshade Free Diet, Vitamin K, LDN and Testosterone. Tom, a 4. 6 year old gentleman with severe incapacitating pain and swelling in the joints arrived in my office with a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Instead, it was causing severe muscle weakness, a well known adverse effect of the AZT drug which is a mitochondrial toxin. On examination, Tom’s hands and knee joints were visibly swollen, and tender with active inflammation. He was able to walk and to get up from a sitting position with difficulty, indicating muscle weakness from the AZT drug.

I purchased their cookbook and became a devoted Nightshade sleuth. The No Nightshades Diet works for me. ![]() No dangerous drugs are used. Norman Childers Web Site: (5)Garrett Smith on Nightshades, From Weston Price Web Site(8)“If you suffer from inflammation, joint pain and cracking, avoiding nightshades will lessen your pain, whether or not the nightshades are the true source of the pain. Muscle pain and tightness, morning stiffness, poor healing, arthritis, insomnia and gall bladder problems. Nightshades can also cause heart burn or GERD . The leaves of eggplant are highly toxic and never should be eaten. Pimento and paprika are also nightshades. Black and white pepper are not nightshade plants, nor are yams and sweet potatoes. Dr Norman Childers. The Arthritis Nightshades Research Foundation has been established to research why and how usage of these crops is causing arthritis in humans, and the relation they may have to other serious problems such as: heart aliments, cancer, circulatory problems, stroke, fast aging, Alzheimer’s, high blood pressure, crippling, and deterioration of major organs in the body. If you would like to contribute to these tax- free studies, please contact Dr. Unfortunately, there are so many important industries (drug, medical, agricultural, and marketing) adversely affected by these studies that about the only source of research funds is through devoted private contributors. Only the sufferers are happy with the program and the results. Gainesville, FL 3. Phone 1- 8. 88- 5. Journal of Neurological and Orthopedic Medical Surgery (1.

Diet appears to be a factor in the etiology of arthritis based on surveys of over 1. Plants in the drug family, Solanaceae (nightshades) are an important causative factor in arthritis in sensitive people. This family includespotato (Solanum tuberosum L.),tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.),eggplant (Solanum melongena L.),tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), andpeppers (Capsicum sp.) of all kinds except the black pepper (family, Piperaceae). A buildup of cholinesterase inhibiting glycoalkaloids and steroids from consumption and/or use (tobacco) of the nightshades and from other sources such as caffeine and some pesticides (organophosphates and carbamates) may cause inflammation, muscle spasms, pain, and stiffness. Osteoarthritis appears to be a result of long- term consumption and/or use of the Solanaceae which contain naturally the active metabolite, vitamin D3, which in excess causes crippling and early disability (as seen in livestock). Rigid omission of Solanaceae, with other minor diet adjustments, has resulted in positive to marked improvement in arthritis and general health. Nightshades Norman F. Childers, Ph.

Effect of vitamin K2 on experimental calcinosis induced by vitamin D2 in rat soft tissue. Seyama Y, Horiuch M, Hayashi M, Kanke Y. Source. It may be suggested that a high dose of vitamin K2 suppressed experimental calcification of soft tissues induced by vitamin D2. Therefore, a pharmacological dose of vitamin K2 might have a usefulness for the prevention and treatment of arteriosclerosis with calcification. Jpn J Pharmacol. 1. Oct; 7. 5(2): 1. 35- 4. Effects of vitamin K2 (menatetrenone) on atherosclerosis and blood coagulation in hypercholesterolemic rabbits.

Source Pharmacological Evaluation Section, Tokyo Research Laboratoires, Eisai Co., Ltd., Koishikawa, Japan. Abstract Gamma- Carboxyglutamic acid (Gla)- containing protein, synthesized in the presence of vitamin K, has been found in atherogenic plaques, but the pharmacological effect of vitamin K on atherosclerosis is unclear. We examined whether vitamin K2 (menatetrenone) could affect the progression of both atherosclerosis and hypercoagulability in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. Vitamin K2 in daily doses of 1, 1. The plasma levels of total- cholesterol in the vitamin K2- treated groups were clearly lower than that of the hypercholesterolemic control group. The excessive dose of vitamin K2, even at the high dose of 1. In contrast, the vitamin K2 treatment (1 to 1. X level and increase in Hepaplastin test value in the rabbits. These results indicate that the pharmacological dose of vitamin K2 prevents both the progression of atherosclerosis and the coagulative tendency by reducing the total- cholesterol, lipid peroxidation and factor X activity in plasma, and the ester- cholesterol deposition in the aorta in hypercholesterolemic rabbits.

This may be due to different effects of vitamin K(1) (phylloquinone) and vitamin K(2) (menaquinone, MK), but few studies included both. METHODS: We investigated the association of intake of phylloquinone and menaquinone, including its subtypes (MK4- MK1. Phylloquinone and menaquinone intake was estimated using a food- frequency questionnaire. RESULTS: Sixty- two percent (n=3. Phylloquinone intake was not associated with coronary calcification with a relative risk (RR) of 1. Menaquinone intake was associated with decreased coronary calcification with an RR of 0. CI: 0. 6. 5- 0. 9. CONCLUSION. Adequate menaquinone intakes could therefore be important to prevent cardiovascular disease. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis. Sep; 1. 9(7): 5. 04- 1. Epub 2. 00. 9 Jan 2.

Data on the effect of vitamin K intake on coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, however, are scarce. To examine the relationship between dietary vitamins K(1) and K(2) intake, and its subtypes, and the incidence of CHD. METHODS AND RESULTS: We used data from the Prospect- EPIC cohort consisting of 1. Intake of vitamin K and other nutrients was estimated with a food frequency questionnaire. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyse the data. After a mean+/- SD follow- up of 8. CHD. Mean vitamin K(1) intake was 2. K(2) intake was 2. After adjustment for traditional risk factors and dietary factors, we observed an inverse association between vitamin K(2) and risk of CHD with a Hazard Ratio (HR) of 0. This association was mainly due to vitamin K(2) subtypes MK- 7, MK- 8 and MK- 9. Vitamin K(1) intake was not significantly related to CHD.
