#112 What is osteoarthritis? And how to prevent chronic pain from a cartilage problem?

When doctors told me I had osteoarthritis I started searching for solutions and I found about the inflammation issue. I started a keto diet, today low carb diet, and I feel much better. Low carb diets reduce inflammation and help a lot

I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my early 60’s, but probably the diseasewas there already many years earlier. My fulltime job was gardener, on hands and knees a lot of the time and always on the move. I have never been obese or even overweight. Wear and Tear was the likely cause of my hip pain. Now I am almost 70, retired for two years and the pain comes and goes in the course of a year. I hardly ever take ibuprofen but if I do it works. I do tai chi, other exercises, walk and undergo radon therapy once a year. This therapy works a dream. I try and avoid any operation and artificial hip replacement. So far so good. Thank you for your informative video’s. They are very helpful.

It's one thing to be delightful, it's something else to be helpful and informative at the same time. Thank you Dr. !

Very impressive. I am a physician. I learned a lot from your video. The way you explain everything is amazing. Thanks very much. (subscribed) 👏👏👏

Thank you for this! I was told that it’s not from inflammation, but from wear and tear. I knew that wasn’t the case because, firstly, I’ve been careful with my joints my whole life. But, secondly, when I’m eating non inflammatory foods, my pain is close to zero. Literally an hour after eating sugar, my joints go crazy for a few days. Also, movement does really help me.

Excellent explanation. Thank you doctor for your kindness and patience. I learn a lot more from your advice than tons of doctors around
