DEFINITION OF RIT/PROLOTHERAPY & PROLOZONE®

Regenerative Injection Therapy/(RIT) also known as prolotherapy or sclerotherapy is an interventional pain management technique that repetitively provides a mild neurolytic effect followed by a complex restorative process with biochemically induced collagen regeneration. It is also called Reconstructive Therapy, It is a non-surgical ligament reconstruction that accelerates the rate of cartilage growth. This therapy is effective because it addresses and eliminates the cause of chronic pain arising from connective tissue such as ligaments, tendons and cartilage. It is an injection technique that has been shown to cause growth of cells and tissue to stabilize and strengthen weakened joints, cartilage, ligaments and tendons. It rebuilds and strengthens the complete joint structure even in patients with no cartilage. This therapy may eliminate the need for joint replacement which usually takes three or more months to recover and costs thousands. Some  family doctors prescribe pain killers, NSAIDs and Cortisone shots which offer only temporary relief.

The term prolotherapy is derived from the word prolo, short for proliferation, as the therapy is intended to proliferate tissue growth

in the damaged area. This is also called Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT), since it is recognized that it extends beyond the proliferative stage-now understood as only the second stage of regenerative healing process. The idea behind this therapy dates back more than 2000 years to Hippocrates, who used it to treat soldiers with injured shoulders. Instead of

injections Hippocrates used a hot poker, which he speared into the shoulder joint, causing and stimulating the body to repair itself of inflammation.

The injection is placed into the damaged ligament or tendon at the point where it attaches to the bone. The injection produces an inflammation, which increases blood flow, swelling, and pain. The body then launches a course of repair and healing. The inflammation tricks the body into thinking another injury has occurred, so it sends in macrophages, which are cells that ingest and destroy the irritant solution. These cells clean up the area. The body then sends in fibroblasts, which are cells that help build fibrous tissue. The fibroblasts excrete collagen, a protein that makes the ligaments denser and stronger. The stronger ligaments provide more support for the joints and alleviates  the pain.

Orthoiodosupplementation: Iodine Sufficiency Of The Whole Human Body

Guy. E. Abraham M.D.¹, Jorge D. Flechas M.D.² and John C. Hakala R.Ph.³

I. Introduction

The essential trace element iodine (I) is the only one required for and in the synthesis of hormones. These I-containing hormones are involved in embryogenesis, differentiation, cognitive development, growth, metabolism, and maintenance of body temperature. I is highly concentrated in one organ, the thyroid gland, which becomes visibly enlarged when there is a deficiency of that element. It is the most deficient trace element in the world with an acknowledged third of mankind functioning below optimal level due to its deficiency ⁽¹⁾. Low intake of I is the world’s leading cause of intellectual deficiency ⁽²⁾. Yet, as unbelievable as it may sound, this essential element has suffered from total neglect regarding the amount of it required by the human body for optimal health. In 1930, Thompson et al wrote ⁽³⁾: “The normal daily requirement of the body for iodine has never been determined.” This statement is still true today, more than 70 years later.

At the Children’s Summit held in 1990, the United Nations and heads of state assembled for that occasion, pledged to eliminate I deficiency by the year 2000. Commenting on this meeting, John T. Dunn stated in 1993 ⁽⁴⁾ “The goal is technically feasible, but many obstacles must be overcome before it is realized.” In the list of obstacles, no mention was made of the greatest obstacle of them all: Our total ignorance regarding sufficiency of the whole human body for I. It is obvious that I deficiency has been equated with the simple goiter, cretinism, and I-deficiency disorders related to its role in thyroidal physiology. Supplementation was considered adequate if such amount prevented cretinism, simple goiter and symptoms of hypothyroidism ^(1,2,4). The assumption that the only role of I as an essential element is in its essentiality for the synthesis of T₃ and T₄, became a dogma. With the advent of sensitive assays, Thyroid Stimulating Hormones (TSH) was promoted to queen of tests for thyroid functions ⁽⁵⁾ and I was forgotten altogether as irrelevant to the point where most endocrinologists and other medical practitioners do not request a single test for urine I concentration, during their whole medical career.

An Introduction to the Benefits of a Professionally Supervised Fast

By Dr. Alan Goldhamer

When the body is provided with the requirements of health, including appropriate diet, environment, activity and psychology, optimum health can be maintained. If these requirements are not adequately provided, health will be compromised.

Often, the best means of facilitating the restoration of health is therapeutic fasting. It allows the body to create a unique physiological healing response that is unparalleled.

Therapeutic fasting is defined as the complete abstinence from all substances except pure water in an environment of complete rest.

There are no substitutes. When therapeutic fasting is indicated, nothing else can be considered “just as good.”

Going without food ­-­­ even for a few days ­­- while working, exercising, worrying, etc. is not therapeutic fasting. A noisy, high stress and/or non-supportive environment will not provide the body the opportunity to maximize the self-healing mechanisms. To maximize the benefits of therapeutic fasting, complete rest is essential.

Eating only certain foods or drinking only juices is not therapeutic fasting. The physiological and clinical impact and benefits are different. This is not to say that juice diets or so-called elimination diets do not have a role. But they are not the same as therapeutic fasting.
