„为了中和酸中毒并维持动脉血 pH 值处于略偏碱性范围(7.36–7.44),有人建议食用碱性食物并补充碳酸氢盐。支持通过饮食使身体偏碱性的生理证据包括:减少或中和饮食负荷可抑制骨吸收、肌肉萎缩和皮质醇过量分泌(),使肿瘤微环境碱化可增强肿瘤对化疗的反应(),而血浆碳酸氢盐水平较高与 2 型糖尿病风险较低相关()。”To neutralize acidosis and maintain arterial pH that is slightly alkaline (7.36–7.44), alkaline foods and bicarbonate supplementation are suggested. Physiological evidence supporting an alkaline shift in the diet is shown by: bone reabsorption, muscle atrophy, and excess cortisol secretion is inhibited by reducing or neutralizing dietary load (), alkalinizing the tumor microenvironment enhances tumor response to chemotherapy (), and higher levels of plasma bicarbonate is associated with lower risk for type 2 diabetes ().
„骨关节炎是一种影响关节的 CT 疾病,与 T2D [193] 和 CMA [194] 都有关。研究表明,类风湿关节炎患者的滑液酸中毒与影像学所见的关节破坏以及膝关节中的粒细胞聚集相关 [195]。”An example of a CT disorder that affects joints and is associated with both T2D [193] and CMA [194] is osteoarthritis. Acidosis of synovial fluid has been shown to correlate with radiological features of joint destruction and granulocyte build-up in the knee in rheumatoid arthritis patients [195].
„在从牛关节软骨中分离出的软骨细胞中,pH 值的微小变化会影响软骨细胞的代谢及其合成 GAG 的能力;在 pH 值为 7.2 时,合成量最高 [197]。骨关节炎患者对碱性矿物质补充剂有积极反应,这为 CMAD 在关节炎症中的作用提供了进一步证据 [196]。”In chondrocytes isolated from bovine articular cartilage, minor alterations in pH impact chondrocyte metabolism and ability to synthesize GAGs, with maximum synthesis occurring at a pH of 7.2 [197]. Further evidence for the role of CMAD in joint inflammation is the positive response in patients with osteoarthritis to alkaline mineral supplements [196].
„如今,现代文明社会也长期受到不同程度的碳酸氢盐缺乏和慢性酸中毒的困扰。这是因为肾功能不足以应对长期偏高的蛋白质摄入,或蛋白质代谢增加(由运动或疾病导致的分解代谢)。”Die moderne Zivilisations-Gesellschaft leidet nunmehr ebenfalls aufgrund einer zu niedrigen Nierenleistung gegenüber einer permanent meist zu hohen Eiweiß-Zufuhr oder einem gesteigerten Eiweiß-Stoffwechsel (Katabolie durch Sport oder Krankheit) chronisch an einem mehr oder weniger großen Bikarbonat-Defizit und ist chronisch azidotisch.
„早在几个世纪以前,这种情况就在享有特权的贵族阶层中显现出来:他们因奢侈地大量食用肉类,典型地患上尿酸性痛风,也就是足部痛风。如今,现代文明社会也长期受到不同程度的碳酸氢盐缺乏和慢性酸中毒的困扰。这是因为肾功能不足以应对长期偏高的蛋白质摄入,或蛋白质代谢增加(由运动或疾病导致的分解代谢)。”Schon in früheren Jahrhunderten wurde dies in den privilegierten Adelsschichten sichtbar, deren typische Erkrankung durch Luxuskonsum von Fleisch die Harnsäure-Gicht, die Podagra war. Die moderne Zivilisations-Gesellschaft leidet nunmehr ebenfalls aufgrund einer zu niedrigen Nierenleistung gegenüber einer permanent meist zu hohen Eiweiß-Zufuhr oder einem gesteigerten Eiweiß-Stoffwechsel (Katabolie durch Sport oder Krankheit) chronisch an einem mehr oder weniger großen Bikarbonat-Defizit und ist chronisch azidotisch.
M. S. Sater 和 H. A. Giha 指出,糖尿病相关关节疾病的特征与酸中毒相关变化相似,这种联系仍需进一步研究证实。
„另一方面,T2D 与多种结缔组织(CT)和关节疾病有关,包括弥漫性特发性骨肥厚、糖尿病手综合征、关节活动受限、Dupuytren 病、屈肌腱鞘炎/扳机指、腕管综合征、粘连性关节囊炎、肩袖肌腱病、钙化性肌腱炎、跟腱肌腱病和跟腱撕裂 [123]。虽然此前没有报告称上述与 T2D 相关的关节和结缔组织疾病与 CMAD 有关,但它们的病理特征与 CMAD 中观察到的特征一致。因此,需要进一步研究来证实这种关联。”On the other hand, T2D is associated with several CT and joint diseases, including diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, diabetic hand syndrome, limited joint mobility, Dupuytren’s disease, flexor tenosynovitis/trigger finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, adhesive capsulitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, calcified tendinitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and Achilles tendon tear [123]. Although the above T2D-associated joint and CT diseases were not reported to be associated with CMAD, their pathological features are consistent with those seen in CMAD. Therefore, further studies are required to confirm this association.
„值得一提的是,我从未服用止痛药、氨基葡萄糖或其他关节补充剂。随着时间推移,我的肩痛消失了,膝盖不适也好了。如今我 66 岁,每周仍打三到四次羽毛球,每次通常打两到三个小时。我经常与比我年轻 20 到 40 岁的选手比赛,活动能力和耐力都很好。虽然这只是个人经历,但它说明了 IOM 系统医学的一项重要原则。我没有把重点放在针对单一症状的某种补充剂上,而是致力于改善身体整体的生理环境。”Notably, I never took pain medications, glucosamine, or other joint supplements. Over time, my shoulder pain disappeared, and my knee discomfort resolved. Today, at age 66, I continue to play badminton three to four times per week, often for two to three hours at a time. I regularly compete with players 20 to 40 years younger and maintain excellent mobility and endurance. While anecdotal, this experience illustrates an important principle of IOM Systems Medicine. Rather than focusing on a single supplement for a single symptom, I focused on improving the body's overall physiological environment.
„结论:营养可以预防和缓解膝痛。我们通常认为膝关节是机械性关节,但膝关节有其独特之处:只要提供适当的构成原料,它就能自我修复。上文列出了三种对很多人有效、值得尝试的膝关节营养干预:烟酰胺、DMSO,以及搭配维生素和矿物质补充剂的更健康的整体饮食。它们价格不高,可以在家尝试。因此,显然“人如其食”这句话也适用于膝关节;通过饮食帮助膝关节,只会带来益处。本文列举了医学医生、脊椎治疗师和营养倡导者提供的案例。”Conclusion Nutrition can prevent and reverse knee pain. We all tend to think the knee is a mechanical joint, but the knee is unique that it can self-repair given the right building ingredients. Listed above are three knee nutrition items that have worked for many and are worth a try, niacinamide, DMSO, and a better overall diet with vitamin and mineral supplements. They are inexpensive and can be tried at home. Thus, it is apparent that "you are what you eat" applies to knees and a diet managed to aid the knee can only bring benefits. This article has provided examples from medical doctors, chiropractic doctors and nutrition advocates.
„然而,其他代谢酶也会受到阻碍,从而导致虚弱、关节疼痛、失眠、皮疹、肌肉疼痛、头痛、感染、鼻窦炎、胸痛和外周水肿。尽管使用药物的益处可能大于风险,但值得注意的是,药物通常无法纠正最初导致慢性健康问题的根本状况。药物往往旨在处理症状,而不是问题的根源。这凸显了正分子医学与传统医学健康理念之间一个非常重要的哲学差异。”However, other metabolic enzymes are blocked as well, causing weakness, joint pain, insomnia, rashes, muscle pain, headaches, infections, sinusitis, chest pain, and peripheral edema. While the benefits of utilizing a drug may outweigh the risks, it is important to note that medication usually does not correct the condition which caused a chronic health problem in the first place. Drugs are often designed to take care of the symptom but not the root of the problem. This highlights a very relevant philosophical difference between orthomolecular medicine vs conventional medicine approaches to health.
