arteritis

[Amedee]

Hello, I have arteritis which poses problem with my left leg.
I walk only 100 m, or I step only three stages and I have to stop because blood does not circulate enough to irrigate the muscles and I have pains in the leg.
I have undergoes all the possible examinations, and all is in good state, except this artery of the left leg at the passage of the basin (and thus at an invisible place with the examinations)
My doctor says to me that it is because of the tobacco which clogs the arteries (I am smoker of pipe).
The specialist who follows me said no such thing, except that for a possible operation, it is necessary that I stop smoking not to mortgage the results.
I do not have other health issues and I have a good immunizing defense.

Is this really tobacco which is responsible for this clogging very localised?
Does there exist a natural product to clean the arteries?

I am French, excuse me for my bad English.

Thank you for your opinions


Bonjour,

J'ai une artérite qui me pose problème à la jambe gauche.
Je marche seulement 100 m, ou je monte seulement trois étages et je dois m'arrêter car le sang ne circule pas assez pour irriguer les muscles et j'ai des douleurs dans la jambe.
J'ai subit tous les examens possibles, et tout est en bon état, sauf cette artère de la jambe gauche au passage du bassin (et donc à un endroit invisible aux examens)
Mon médecin me dit que c'est à cause du tabac qui encrasse les artères (je suis fumeur de pipe).
Le spécialiste qui me suit ne m'a rien dit de tel, si ce n'est que pour une opération éventuelle, il faut que j'arrête de fumer pour ne pas hypothéquer les résultats.
Je n'ai pas d'autres problèmes de santé et j'ai une bonne défense immunitaire.

Est ce réellement le tabac qui est responsable de cet encrassement très localisé ?

Existe-t-il un produit naturel pour décrasser les artères ?

Merci de vos avis

Je suis français, veuillez m'excuser pour le mauvais anglais.

Re: arteritis

Hi Amedee,

I ain't no doctor but merely looking at what you wrote, some thoughts come to mind. Since the inflammation is so localised, it can't be the tobacco or something that you are eating. So I am guessing that perhaps your are using your left leg in a very specific way.

For example, I had a friend who had problems with his right wrist and couldn't figure out the cause. Well one day I was in his house and watching him and there he was sitting at the desk with his laptop and using his right arm moving the mouse. His wrist was resting at an angle and that immediately struck me as the source of the problem. So I pointed it out to him and lo and behold the problem abated. Once he was more aware of his wrist position, he took more care of placing it at a more proper angle and of course the problem diminished.

So perhaps it a similar issue. Try and observe what you do with your left leg and perhaps the cause might reveal itself, hopefully :)

I do not know if there is a specific natural product to clean your arteries but have you detoxify your body?

If not, maybe you could try to do it.

Have a look at that post which gives you the important threads for diet and health.

Hi Bohort

I for a long time started to have a food mode balanced, varied, and enough naturalness.
I think it is for that I have a good immunizing defense.
For example, I am almost never sick. And so on some rare occasions I was seized up, I always passed in one night.
The evening, I had headaches, and I did not see almost clearly any more, I drank a grog (lime, honey and rum), I spent one night to be sweated of the liters, and the morning the influenza had passed.
Even thing another time with a food poisoning.
I use few industrial products for my toilet, and more natural products; Alep soap, Alum stone,…
I drink pressed orange juice every morning, a glass of Kéfir every evening, etc
Since few weeks, I also take Spiruline every day.
I have of course consulted the topic " diet and detox" but having a bad knowledge of English, technical subjects is difficult to understand without risking a misinterpretation or an error.
I had information today that a presentation in French will be soon available and I would refer at once.

thank you for your opinion.

Re: arteritis

Perhaps you can use the French section of the forum to get some help with certain terms you might not understand in the health section. There is lot of useful info there, including the far infrared sauna, vitamin C thread, the ultra simple diet, vitamin C, other useful supplementation, etc.

Also, one thing that you could research about is nattokinase, an enzyme that helps arteries unclog, a fibrinolytic. But if you have other conventional therapies like blood thinners, you'll have to talk with your doctor about it, hopefully he will be open minded. Here is some info about it (there must be something in French though):

Wikipedia:

Arteritis (not to be confused with arthritis) is inflammation of the walls of arteries,[1] usually as a result of infection or auto-immune response.
[edit] Types

* Temporal arteritis, also called giant cell arteritis, is specifically arteritis of the vessels supplying the head, eyes and optic nerves, particularly the temporal artery.

* Takayasu's arteritis affects the aorta and its branches.

* Polyarteritis nodosa affects the medium-sized arteries, especially those of renal, coronary, hepatic and skeletal muscle systems.

Arteritis may be partially caused by the fungal pathogen Candida albicans.[2]

Hello, I have arteritis which poses problem with my left leg.
I walk only 100 m, or I step only three stages and I have to stop because blood does not circulate enough to irrigate the muscles and I have pains in the leg.
I have undergoes all the possible examinations, and all is in good state, except this artery of the left leg at the passage of the basin (and thus at an invisible place with the examinations)

So if they can't visualize the obstruction, they can't really tell if its a plaque or an inflammatory thickening of the arteries. If it is a plaque, usually other arteries in the body have some degree of affection, for example in the heart. If it is a thickening of the wall, it could be more a specific immune problem. In both cases, tobacco shouldn't be necessarily the one real culprit as it usually is thought and infections with microorganisms can produce that kind of problem.

There is an inflammatory vessel disease which is called Buerger's disease (_http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maladie_de_Buerger) where a connection with smoking have been supposedly observed. But again, you should be looking to what you eat and general toxicity in general, real culprits which are often overlooked in conventional medicine. Doctors are pretty brain washed when it comes to smoking.

I do not have other health issues and I have a good immunizing defense.

Well, your leg problem is an enough indicator and if you can take control of your health, you could probably spare a procedure which will involve manipulation of the artery and even the probability of a stent insertion, a foreign material which will sure irritate your artery (no pun intended).

Have in mind that even though there are alternative therapies (like the far infrared sauna) and supplementation that can help you, what you eat is of utmost importance and eliminating the usual suspects is the priority. Here is an elimination diet, from The Ultra Simple Diet by Mark Hyman:

Again, do read the recommended threads in the health section and don't hesitate to ask for help in the French section if you need help with certain terms.

Herbs that aid in circulation include capsicum, hawthorne, butcher's broom, garlic. It could be worth researching or talking to a herbalist.

Hi Psyche, Laura, Odyssey

You give me a lot of informations to learn (after a precise translation).

Laura, the arteritis term is the BabelFish translation of french "Artérite" that is used by my doctor and the specialist, without more precision.

Upon the begining and before examinations, the specialist indicated the two possible causes: inflammation, or clogging.
Following the examinations which one confirmed that the heart and the other arteries are without problem, I did not have a clear answer from him, as if he awaited the operation to know what it is.
The problem occurred rather abruptly, which makes me doubt it is a clogging.
It occurred a few weeks after a confirmed osteopath has realigned my basin on the same side and in spite of the formal negation of the specialist, I think that it can have a report: the replacement of the basin which was perhaps moved since my childhood perhaps has involved an inflammation.

I will study closely all informations you brought to me, and of course I'll continue in a more thorough way my diet and detox.

I thank you all, well cordially and would communicate the continuation to you on this post.

Amédée

Hi Amedee,

A sudden realignment, particularly from a part that is central to your body such as the basin, can sometimes have repercussions.
Your body needs time to adapt itself to a completely new posture. It is not a simple process, as there are many bodily habits involved who are challenged quite abruptly. With sudden changes you can expect success, but sometimes also misfortunes.
I don't know if that could cause your arterites, as I'm not a doctor or osteopath, but it might be worth to look deeper into it as well.
