Causes of Arthritis

• Arthritis is caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Joint instability

• Age-related changes

• Altered biochemistry

• Hormonal factors

• Genetic predisposition

• Environmental factors

• Psychological factors

• Stress - Stress disrupts the body's hormonal balance. Stress- induced cortisone deficiency can be a factor in some forms of arthritis. When stress occurs, body systems release adrenalin and cortisone, a process that weakens the immune system. As a result, bacteria and other detrimental organisms such as Candida albicans spread throughout the body.

• Arthritis And Dental Amalgams - Arthritic symptoms are often found to be associated with mercury dental amalgams. It was found that once the amalgams are removed, the symptoms of arthritis usually disappear.
