Joint pain
Symptom- Liver toxicity and acids: An overabundance of acids and various toxins throughout the body due to a stagnant, sluggish, overburdened liver is one of the two primary causes of joint pain. The liver's inability to process and neutralize these acids allows them to accumulate in joints and surrounding tissue, creating inflammation and pain.
- An overabundance of acids and various toxins throughout the body due to a stagnant, sluggish, overburdened liver. Alternatively, low-grade viral infection from one of the over 60 varieties of Epstein-Barr virus feeding on mercury, aluminum, and/or copper in the body, releasing neurotoxins that cause the joints to ache. Together, these causes can contribute to joint pain at the same time, or someone may be suffering from only a stagnant liver or viral infection. Sometimes, rather than EBV, one of the over 30 varieties of shingles is the cause, creating viral inflammation around joint areas. Both viruses can create excess fluid and swelling, leading to a myriad of joint pain-related diagnoses. Joint pain can worsen on a high-fat/high-protein diet. At times, joint pain is clearly the result of injury. When someone continues to experience sustained pain after the injury should have healed, it's often the result of a low-grade viral infection.
- Both viruses create excess fluid and swelling: Both Epstein-Barr virus and shingles virus can create excess fluid and swelling in and around joints, leading to a myriad of joint pain-related diagnoses. The combination of a stagnant liver and viral infection can contribute to joint pain simultaneously, or someone may be suffering from only one of these causes.
- Calcium deposits in joint areas: Calcium deposits can accumulate in joint areas due to liver stagnancy and viral activity. These deposits cause additional joint pain and stiffness. Celery juice has the ability to break up and disperse these calcium deposits (same mechanism by which it dissolves gallstones, kidney stones, adhesions, and scar tissue).
- Epstein-Barr virus: Epstein-Barr virus being the joint pain maker - it hurts the nerves and swells up joints
- Pathogens: Inflamed joints are from pathogens
- High-fat, high-protein diet worsens joint pain: Joint pain can worsen on a high-fat and high-protein diet. A high-fat diet thickens the blood, making it harder to flush out viral neurotoxins and toxins that inflame the joints. This is why keto, paleo, and high-protein diets often worsen joint conditions over time.
- Epstein-Barr neurotoxins: Joint pain is from neurotoxins released by Epstein-Barr virus
- Epstein-Barr virus neurotoxins: Low-grade viral infection from one of the over 60 varieties of Epstein-Barr virus is the other primary cause. EBV feeds on mercury, aluminum, and copper in the body, releasing neurotoxins that cause the joints to ache. The neurotoxins inflame nerves in joint areas. EBV hurts nerves and swells up joints. EBV is the true cause of rheumatoid arthritis — it attacks the joints. This information was first published by Medical Medium.
- Shingles virus: One of the over 30 varieties of shingles virus can also cause joint pain, creating viral inflammation around joint areas. Shingles can cause sciatic pain, body pain, and joint pain in the back, hips, and other areas. Both EBV and shingles can operate simultaneously — shingles causing joint/sciatic pain in the back and hips while EBV causes nerve pain everywhere (shoulders, arms, hands, neck). People walk around with multiple low-grade viral infections and are highly inflamed.
- Viral infections: Viral stuff is the true cause of joint pain
- Post-injury viral activation: When an injury occurs, damaged nerve root hairs fray off the nerve, creating a homing signal for pathogens. When someone continues to experience sustained pain long after the injury should have healed, it is often the result of a low-grade viral infection that has taken hold at the injury site. At times, joint pain is clearly the result of injury, but the ongoing chronic pain is viral.
