Broccoli Fights Osteoarthritis

~~O.K. here he goes again, Dr. Pfeiffer is making another one of his "wild claims about another one of the research studies that he has been fretting through again." Well Gang, this one bears out what I have been professing for years. That's right, I have been telling my patients that eating "Cruciferous Vegetables" reduces inflammation in the body, but particularly in the joints. Well get ready for this one, because this study goes way beyond that claim. The decreased inflammation claim for this class of vegetables has been around for years, although not necessarily accepted by the dogmatic medical crew. The truth is the truth, and you can't argue with that one. This study however goes way beyond that truth. This one shows that eating cruciferous vegetables actually causes the regrowth of cartilage in joints. You heard me right, eating vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale, and kohlrabi will actually cause the "regeneration" of the protective and shock absorbing cartilage in joints. Can you believe it, we in the "Alternative World" were right again.
     So, let's look at what this is all about. Broccoli and this entire class of vegetables contain a substance called "sulforaphane". You see the first two syllables of that word "sulfor", or sulfur. That's what gives broccoli and brussel sprouts that distinctive "aroma" and taste, its sulfur! Sulforaphane has been demonstrated in other research studies over the years to have anti-cancer and anti-inflammation properties. This is the first study that has demonstrated that it actually causes the "regeneration" of cartilage in joints. This is a Big One! Sulforaphane is released when eating cruciferous vegetables. This research study, which was published on August 29th in the Journal of Arthritis and Rheumatism, was performed at the University of East Anglia in the U.K. These researchers discovered that sulforaphane actually blocks the enzymes that cause joint destruction by a key molecule which is know to cause the notorious INFLAMMATION! In the U.K. more than 8.5 million people suffer from osteoarthritis. In 2011 in the U.K. more than 77,000 knee, and 66,000 hip replacements were performed. That equates to one every four minutes. Now don't get me wrong I know that many of you reading this have had knee or hip replacements, many of those at my recommendation. Wouldn't it be nice if we could PREVENT the progressive and probable exponential rise in joint replacement surgeries? Obviously, there are other contributing factors such as obesity, and aging, or as I prefer to politely refer to it as "progressing through life" (P.T.L.). However, these compounding factors can also be prevented, or at least retarded in the case of P.T.L. Here is another staggering statistic for you to ponder; "Currently one in five people over the age of 45 has osteoarthritis in their knee." The sad news is that there is no cure or effective treatment other than attempting to relieve the primary symptom which is PAIN.
   A few quotes from the lead researcher in this study Ian Clark will help to put this all in perspective. "Osteoarthritis is a major cause of disability. It is a huge health burden but a huge financial burden too, which will get worse in an increasingly aging and obese population such as ours. Although surgery is very successful, it is not really an answer. Once you have osteoarthritis, being able to slow its progress and the progression to surgery is really important. Prevention would be preferable and changes to lifestyle, like diet, may be the only way to do that."
     So, what do I wish for you to take from this? First of all prevention is easier than restoration. Second, "the replacement parts are never as good as the originals".
