Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / January 2008Pain Relief In Degenerative Joint Disease
Phytate found in the chaff of your grains and other plant foods has been shown to be a standin for eitdronate. Etidronate has been shown to have some impressive pain relief results. Analgesic effect of etidronate on degenerative joint disease. Author(s): Fujita T, Fujii Y, Okada SF, Miyauchi A, Takagi Y Affiliation(s): Calcium Research Institute, Katsuragi Hospital, Kishiwada, Osaka, Japan. Publication date & source: 2001, J Bone Miner Metab., 19(4):251-6. Publication type: Clinical Trial; Randomized Controlled Trial In the present study, 80 patients with degenerative joint disease, spondylosis deformans, and/or osteoarthritis of the knee with back or joint pain, especially on movement and strain, were randomly divided into four groups. Group A received no etidronate, while groups B, C and D received 66, 133 and 200 mg/day etidronate, respectively, for 12 months. Every 3 months, after evaluating subjective pain on a visual rating scale (VRS), skin impedance was measured with subjects in a quiet sitting position and with the application of various strains on the spine and knee, including standing up from quiet sitting on a chair, bending forward to flex the spine, squatting to flex the knee, walking 20 paces on a flat floor, ascending 10 stair steps and descending 10 stair steps. A dose related improvement of subjective pain on the VRS with a parallel decrease in the percentage fall in skin impedance was noted. The intra-individual coefficients of variation (CV) of L1-L4 bone mineral density (BMD) on dual-energy X- ray absorptiometry were calculated as a possible index for spondylotic changes before and after treatment as an indication of spondylotic deformity, because no established method is yet available to evaluate such changes objectively. A dose-related decrease in CV of BMD was also noted, parallel to the analgesic effect. ----------------------------------------------- You know there seems to be a bisphosphonate found in your .. grub.

Much worse however is its iron binding capacity. The consumption of large amounts of maize is a well documented cause of anemia this is due to its phytic acid content. The effect is of course countered by iron tablets or an adequate consumption of red meat.

Lao TT, Ho LF. Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong, China. University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China. OBJECTIVE:-Increased Hb and ferritin have been associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study was performed to determine whether the prevalence of GDM is influenced by iron deficiency anemia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-In a retrospective case-control study, 242 women with iron deficiency anemia (Hb <10 g/dl with features of iron deficiency) were compared with 484 nonanemic women matched for year of birth, who were delivered within the same 24-month period in our hospital, with respect to maternal demographics, infant outcome, and the prevalence of GDM diagnosed according to the World Health Organization criteria. RESULTS:-There was no difference in the prepregnancy weight or BMI, but the anemic group had more multiparas and significantly lower gestational weight and BMI increments and prevalence of GDM (odds ratio [OR] 0.52, 95% CI 0.27-0.97), which was inversely correlated (P = 0.045) with the duration of anemia. To determine the independent effect of anemia on GDM, multiple logistic regression analysis was performed adjusting for the effects of multiparity and BMI, and anemia was confirmed to be significantly associated with decreased prevalence of GDM (adjusted OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.23-0.90). CONCLUSIONS:-The prevalence of GDM is reduced in iron deficiency anemia, which probably served as a surrogate for other factors such as nutritional inadequacy and reduced gestational weight gain. Further studies on the relationship between nutritional improvement and the increasing prevalence of GDM in the developing world are warranted.

Drop ears into plenty of rapidly boiling unsalted water. (1 tsp. sugar may be added if desired.) Cook 3 to 4 minutes for young corn, 5 to 7 minutes for more mature cobs. Remove from water at once as corn becomes soggy-tasting if left soaking. Microwaving With husks: Peel back husks and remove silk. Spread corn with soft butter, if desired. Replace husks and secure with string or rubber band. Place in oven about ½" apart and microwave with full power, turning several times during cooking. If microwaving four cobs: re- arrange half way through cooking so that cobs in the centre are moved to outside: 2 cobs - 7 to 8 minutes; 4 cobs - 10 to 11 minutes. Without husks: Place husked corn in shallow baking dish leaving at least ½" between cobs. Add 1 Tbsp. water and cover dish. Microwave with full power: 2 cobs - 3 to 5 minutes; 4 cobs - 5 to 7 minutes Let stand, covered, 5 minutes before serving. Barbecuing With husks: Remove large outer husks, turn back inner husks, and remove silk. Spread with soft butter or margarine and pull husks back over corn. Wrap each ear in heavy foil, twisting ends to seal. Roast directly on medium coals for 10 to 15 minutes, turning once. To serve, pull back husks and snip off. Without husks: Remove husks and silk. Place each ear on heavy foil. Add 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine and 1 Tbsp. water, plus pinch of herbs if desired. Wrap securely, twisting ends to seal. Roast directly on coals for 10 to 15 minutes or on grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once. Corn Country Method: Remove silk. Leave husks in place. Soak corn 3-4 hours. The longer the better. Barbecue until husks are charred or bake at 475F for 20 -25 minutes. Fresh Corn Salad 1 ¾ cup (180 ml) light sour cream 1 cup (250 ml) finely diced red peppers 1 tsp (5ml) Worcestershire sauce 1 cup (250 ml) finely sliced green onions ½ tsp (2ml) seasoning salt 1 (one) clove garlic, minced 3 cups (750 ml) leftover fresh corn kernels (approx 3-5 ears) In a bowl large enough to hold all salad ingredients combine first three ingredients. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Makes: 4 servings Who loves ya.
