Possible Causes Of Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory and autoimmune disease and is a type of arthritis. While a cause is not able to be determined in all cases, most cases will be caused by the following:
Genetics: This is the gene HLA-B27. But remember not everyone with this gene develops AS. We will take a look at why this happens to us shortly. Also if you are HLA-B27 negative, you can still have AS.
Injury: Injury can be physical or emotional trauma. If you have been in an accident, illness, or perhaps lost someone, it can all impact your immune system. The good news is that this can be managed by exercise and other helpful techniques.
Prolonged Immobility: We can reverse AS by slowly increasing your activity level.
Infection: Klebsiella is a type of bacteria that in people with the HLA-B27 gene can cause AS. We can kill it naturally without the use of harmful antibiotics.
Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease. It is a type of arthritis mainly affecting the spine but which can progress to other joints in the body.
The two biggest causes of ankylosing spondylitis infection with the Klebsiella bacteria usually resulting from poor digestive health and chronic stress and anxiety.
Klebsiella bacteria feed on leftover starch in the digestive tract. This happens when there is an inability to digest carbohydrates, particularly, starchy carbohydrates like potatoes, pasta, and bread.
A low carb mostly alkaline diet will benefit those suffering from ankylosing spondylitis and those who carry the risk. Cut out grains as much as possible, and soak your nuts before eating them.
Chronic stress, anxiety, and fear cause stress hormones to be released constantly which leads to inflammation and diseases, including autoimmune diseases like ankylosing spondylitis.
Meditation, deep breathing, gratitude, cold showers, support groups, and Reiki can be helpful in reducing stress and the hormones released due to stress.
Relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness by taking a calcium, vitamin D3, vitamin K2, and magnesium supplement. Epsom salt baths also relieve pain and stiffness.
Supplements like PQQ, omega 3, and collagen can help to maintain joint health and reduce pain and inflammation.
Stay well hydrated and try massaging an ayurvedic oil like mahanarayan oil into the affected areas.
