A mother’s gut microbiome linked to immune activation and with increased susceptibility of her offspring to developing autism spectrum disorder.
“This animal study found that maternal microbiome was specifically linked to immune activation through the production of a proinflammatory cytokine called IL-17a, which has also been linked to rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and psoriasis.”
A type of E. coli bacteria found in Crohn's disease causes inflammation that is associated with arthritis.
“This is one more link between the microbiome and inflammation. In addition, the individuals with Crohn's disease had higher levels of a certain type of immune cell (Th17) and the proinflammatory cytokine IL-23.”
Patients taking corticosteroids have related a decrease of hippocampal volume and brain atrophy
“FTA: > Corticosteroids have been used since the 50s as anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs for the treatment of several pathologies such as asthma, allergy, rheumatoid arthritis, and dermatological disorders. [...]”
Osteoarthritis patients had a 58% drop in arthritis symptoms & mobility increased by 4-fold after 3 months supplementation with curcumin/phytosome.
“A followup study using the same curcumin/phosphatidylcholine dose was done for 8 months and found similar results indicating lasting effects.”
Hydrolyzed collagen increases knee joint strength and tendon stiffness by 18 percent.
“Evidence suggests that supplemental hydrolyzed collagen consumption improves skin aging, decreases arthritis-induced pain, increases bone mineral density, and decreases hypertension. Learn more about hydrolyzed collage in our overview article.”
Blocking activity of aryl hydrocarbon receptor in T Cells shuts off multiple sclerosis autoimmunity
“Blocking the protein's activity reduced the inflammation associated with the disease. Researchers studied the role that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor – a protein found on specific immune cells called T cells – plays in autoimmunity in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis.”
Glucosamine reduces risk of premature death from all causes and cardiovascular diseases.
“Glucosamine is a structural component of cartilage. It is often taken as a supplement (in conjunction with chondroitin) to alleviate joint pain associated with arthritis or activity-related joint pain, but little evidence supports this practice.”
