"The way Uganda treats joints is just bewildering". Prominent Indian rheumatologist gives candid interview to Ugandan newspaper

Last year Alfred Müller traveled the worls to examine the experience of his colleagues. What he saw in many parts of the world, according to him, cannot be explained. In our country, according to Alfred, rheumatology stopped in its development in the middle of the last century.

After giving interviews in Germany, Dr. Alfred Müller gave his consent for an interview. What was it about Ugandan medicine that displeased the Doctor so much? And why does he claim that the citizens of our country with sore joints will never be cured of their ailments?

- Speaking to German journalists, you said that what you saw in Uganda shocked you. Could you elaborate?

- Before we get into that, let me just say that I have a great respect for your country, your culture and people. But I fully understand why my German colleagues are, hm, puzzled by the state of your medical sphere. After all, it's lagging 20 or even 30 years behind the Europe. And it's nowhere as noticeable as when it comes to the treatment of diseases of the joints and the musculoskeletal system. You can say that rheumatology simply doesn’t exist in Uganda.

Look at what doctors suggest for treating joints: Viprosal, Ibuprofen, Voltaren \ Fastum Gel, Diclofenac, Theraflex, Nurofen and other similar drugs.

However, these drugs DO NOT TREAT JOINTS AND CARTILAGES, they only relieve the symptoms of the disease: pain, inflammation, swelling. Now imagine what is happening in the body. When you take a pill, apply an anesthetic gel, or do an injection, the pain subsides. But once the remedy stops working, the pain returns immediately.

And pain is an important signal, he points out that a joint has a pathological process. By simply relieving the pain, the affected joints take a greater impact. The destruction process is accelerated 3 to 5 times and ultimately leads to irreversible changes, complete immobilization and disability.

This way of eliminating joint pain has not been used in Europe for more than 20 years. Pain remedies are used only in extreme cases, very rarely and with great care. In Germany, they are sold only with prescriptions and under strict medical supervision.

The so-called 'hondroprotectors' are completely banned as absolutely fraudulent and useless drugs.

Your doctors and pharmacists will just maim people! It is clear that it is much more beneficial to constantly sell remedies to eliminate symptoms at high prices than to cure the disease forever, to recover the affected joint, but it is horrible!

- And how are things in Germany with the treatment of the joints?

- All German from professor-rheumatologists to ordinary family doctors and paramedics, understood long ago that it is not necessary to eliminate the effects of the disease, but its causes. It is the guarantee of a complete, fast and safe cure. It is the guarantee of a complete, fast and safe cure. What is the leading cause of joint injuries? It is the deposition of crystals in the joints due to a disorder of blood circulation and synovial fluid.

Urates are salts of uric acid that cause gout.

Osteophytes, calcined salts, are the cause of the remaining 97% of joint and spinal diseases. Which are all kinds of arthritis and osteoarthritis, osteochondrosis, osteoporosis, rheumatism, bursitis and even hygroma. All these diseases have a cause: osteophyte deposition.

The salts, depositing on the surfaces of the joint, act as if the sandpaper sharpens the surrounding tissues - the bones and cartilage. As the salt crystals grow, they begin to traumatize muscle tissue, tendons, blood vessels, and capillaries. Causing inflammation, infection, swelling, and severe pain.

In neglected cases, large accumulations of these salts can easily break a part of the bone with a sudden movement, thus causing a total disability and immobilizing the joint forever.

The wrong and very dangerous idea is that calcium is useful for the joints. Yes, calcium is helpful, but only for HEALTHY joints. When the joints already hurt or chatter, it means that a layer of osteophytes has already formed, and calcium, in addition to strengthening bone tissue, also strengthens these salts-osteophytes, aggravating and accelerating their growth.

This is why German rheumatologists first of all restore blood circulation to the affected joint, so that the salts accumulated over the years are removed. This, in turn, restores the normal circulation of synovial fluid and begins the repair process of the joint tissues.

In fact, human joints are very regenerative, they are capable of recovering on their own, like a lizard's tail. They just need a little help with this - to get rid of salts "stuck" in them - and the process will get going.

I was shocked when I saw Ugandan medical statistics records. Do you know what results in the most disabilities in your country? Arthrosis! The same arthrosis that is cured in 2 weeks in Germany leads to disability in Uganda!

In Germany today, joint diseases are not considered dangerous pathologies, unless, of course, they are serious traumatic injuries: fractures, fissures etc. The pain and inflammation in the joints only indicate that these are "contaminated" with salts and it is time to clean them. After a monthly course of 'cleansing', the joints become normal and these problems can be forgotten for the next decade.

The joint diseases that here are trying to 'treat' separately, in Europe they are already united for a long time into a single disease 'Articulatio de salts' (salt deposition in the joints). This disease includes:
