Ankylosing Spondylitis or PSR (Pelvi-Spondylitis Rheumatica) is becoming increasingly common.

It’s an inflammatory disease of the sacroiliac joints and spine.

Ramses II had it!

It affects young adults, often starting around the age of 20-25.

It manifests as pain in the buttocks (sacroiliitis = inflammation of the sacroiliac joints), lower back (lumbar) or middle back (dorsal), as well as in the heels (talalgia), both during the day and at night (inflammatory type), causing discomfort when getting out of bed in the morning and an appearance of morning locking of the spine and pelvis.

At first, we think it’s a simple case of lumbago that will pass on anti-inflammatory drugs, but these are becoming less and less effective. The pain becomes increasingly incapacitating. The diagnosis is often made by a rheumatologist, with the association of inflammatory signs with biology, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging and the presence of a histo-compatibility antigen characteristic of the disease, HLAB27, which indicates a genetic predisposition to the disease.

If nothing is done, the succession and repetition of inflammatory attacks on the spine will gradually ossify the spinal ligaments, giving the spine a characteristic “bamboo” appearance on X-ray, which will progressively stiffen it, leading to ankylosis, hence the first name of the disease (spondyl = vertebra, arth = joint, ankylosing = stiffening). This will increasingly bend the patient’s back forward (hyper-cyphosis).

SPA = inflammatory damage to the vertebrae, leading to almost total stiffening of the spine in the long term.

It is accompanied by severe fatigue. During inflammatory flare-ups, pain is intense. They can lead to impotence of the lower limbs, lasting from a few hours to several weeks in the most severe forms.

It may be associated with psoriasis, Crohn’s disease Crohn’s disease, certain inflammatory conditions of the eye (uveitis). It is therefore a general disease, not just a disease of the spine.

What is the cause of SPA?

That’s a good question! Because the treatment depends on the answer.

What we do know is that there isn’t just one cause, but several. It is therefore a multi-factorial disease (due to several factors).

Genetic factors, with predisposition characterized by the HLAB27 gene.

Then there are environmental factors: a peptide (a protein), a bacterium of intestinal origin (Klebsiella pneumoniae), intestinal inflammation and dysbiosis (an alteration in the intestinal flora), the devitalized and “tampered” modern diet.

This gives rise to a hypothesis that hospital-academic medicine does not dare to assert, but which common sense and the practice of environmental and nutritional medicine allow us to envisage: on the basis of genetic factors predisposing to vertebral damage (HLAB27), a modern refined and devitalized diet gradually (after 20 years) leads to disruption of the intestinal flora and mucosa, resulting in intestinal hyperpermeabilityThe result is intestinal hyperpermeability: “micro-holes” in the intestine allow the passage of bacterial degradation products (peptides from Klebsiella pneumoniae, among others) whose structure is similar to that of vertebral structures (molecular mimicry).

These bacterial peptides, which should never have entered the bloodstream, attach themselves to the sacroiliac joints and vertebrae (because HLAB27 predisposes them to go there in particular): they are recognized by the immune system as “foreign” and trigger an antibody response that eliminates these “intruders”, triggering a local inflammatory reaction that destroys both the intruder and the substrate (the joint) to which it has attached itself.

This is considered an autoimmune disease, i.e. the production of antibodies against one’s own body, which is absolutely abnormal. But all this is primarily due to an intestinal problem.

And 90% of intestinal problems stem from an unbalanced diet (the aim of this natural health blog is to heal ourselves through a healthier diet).

What treatment, Doctor?

Hospital-academic medicine and rheumatologists mainly offer :

– to relieve symptoms: anti-inflammatories for pain. But these drugs “perforate” the intestine even more, aggravating the disease. While they should be taken sparingly during painful attacks, they should not be taken for long periods of time.

– reduce the inflammatory response: with new anti TNF alpha treatments, which inhibit the pro-inflammatory factor most often found in APS, TNF alpha. These treatments are mistakenly referred to as biological treatments! This is a mistake and a lie, because they are not biological at all, but chemical. What’s more, they’re very expensive and potentially dangerous (risk of leukemia, and yes, you can’t lower the immune guard without risk), so we reserve them for severe cases.

Environmental and nutritional medicine, which is the subject of this natural health blog, has its rightful place in the treatment of this disease.

Natural SPA treatment:

This requires :

1/ correct intestinal dysbiosis, the imbalance in intestinal flora that is the main cause of this disease.

In any case, the 3-month gut pack is the best pack to start balancing your gut:
It includes probiotics and omega3 for three months. That’s the minimum to get you started. These probiotics and omega3s have been specially selected by the doctor for this purpose. They work in synergy and their dosage has been carefully calculated to make them more effective.

PRODOCTA 1-0-0 one capsule before breakfast
OMEDOCTA 2-0-0. two capsules before breakfast

2/ A complete overhaul of nutrition

On the other hand, all cow’s milk and, if possible, gluten-containing foods should be eliminated. Eliminating these 2 staple foods from the modern diet often leads to a considerable improvement in the patient’s symptoms.
In the book “L’alimentation vivante, la première médecine”, the complete and complex reasons for eliminating these 2 foods are well explained.

3/ Treat pain as much as possible without anti-inflammatories

– You should know that auricular acupuncture is extremely powerful in reducing pain! It’s the No. 1 organic weapon for treating all types of pain.
It allows you to take fewer anti-inflammatory drugs, thus protecting your stomach and intestine.

It also balances the intestine, and regulates stress, which is often the cause of worsening symptoms and even flare-ups.

1 session every 15 days at first, then 1/month thereafter.

Auricular neuroacupuncture is a formidable ecological weapon in the hands of the experienced physician. It eliminates the need for painkillers and anxiolytics, thus protecting the intestine. After all, taking chemical drugs worsens the condition of the intestinal mucosa. It is therefore a way out of this vicious circle.

– ANTIDOLTA natural pain-relieving gel day on your painful joints: massage 3 times a day at first, then once a day thereafter. Massage well for 5 minutes at first. More effective than commercial chemical anti-inflammatory gels.

– Green clay poultices on your joints at night: an age-old and highly effective therapy.

– Harpagophytum TM 20 drops before each meal and in the evening at bedtime. Anti-inflammatory plant that does not affect the stomach or intestinal flora.

4/ Taking C-DOCTAVitamin C, 3 level teaspoons, i.e. 6g of vitamin C / day, to reduce oxidation, which rusts your joints and thus reduces pain.

5/ Scalar waves: revolutionary new wave therapy to boost your organism, your body, which is your best doctor.

6/ Endo-Bio-Therapy: Digital endotherapy, a method developed by Dr. Geffard to treat inflammation, chronic infection (very common in APS) and oxidation, can be offered as an effective long-term treatment for the causes of your APS, with no side effects. As this is an innovative and personalized treatment, you should seek Dr. Trotta’s advice during a TeleMedicine consultation or on site in San Sebastian. This would enable you to further reduce the dose of your intoxicating chemical medication.
