Arthritis
There are two main types of arthritis that many people ultimately suffer from usually after they are in their 50s or beyond. Degenerative arthritis, overwhelmingly the most common, is a breakdown of the cartilage in a joint because the genetic code does not account for enough repair and maintenance of the cartilage in the joint, which is normally alive, dynamic tissue. Imagine an abandoned house that never gets painted and the roof falls apart, the window shutters dangle and perhaps the windows themselves are broken. Another type of arthritis, inflammatory, includes relatively small numbers of people by comparison afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis. With RA, antibodies are made by attacking one’s own body, setting off an inflammatory response. Gout is also a fairly common inflammatory arthritic disease. This is a poorly understood common ailment wherein crystals of urate are engulfed by WBCs that release caustic enzymes into the joints.
