My first cousin told me about his 22-year-old granddaughter McKenna having
Relapsing Poly chondritis. When I see any disease that ends in itis that tells me the
root cause is inflammation/ In almost all diseases inflammation plays a big part in it.
And this holds true in any and all autoimmune diseases.

Q: How many words ending in itis in the dictionary?
A: There are 163words that end with ITIS. See also.
What does itis in medical terminology?
Medical Definition of itis: a disease characterized by
inflammation arthritis, tendinitis and those other itis’s
What is itis in English?
-itis in American English suffix. a suffix used in pathological terms denote inflammation of an organ (bronchitis; gastritis; neuritis) and hence, in extended senses, nouns denoting abnormal states or conditions, excesses, tendencies, obsessions, etc. (telephonitis; baseballitis)
Is itis a root or suffix?
Example: pericarditis (prefix) (root) (suffix) around heart inflammation What words end in itis?bronchitis.cellulitis.cervicitis.dermatitis.fibrositis.gingivitis.laryngitis.meningitis. What is suffix in medical terminology? The suffix usually indicates a specialty, test, procedure, function, condition/disorder, or status. For example, itis means inflammation and ectopy means removal. … Occasionally, a medical term may consist of a prefix and suffix. For example, apnea includes the prefix a- (without) and suffix -pnea (breathing).
“itis” indicates infection or inflammation. “Osis” means lots of.
The prime example is diverticulosis, which is the generally non-dangerous condition
of having little out-pockets pooching out of the intestinal tract, especially the colon.
In the US, a third or a half of all people over 55 or so, have them. Diverticulitis means
one of those pockets has gotten infected.
It causes pain, fever, abdominal tenderness, and can even lead to perforation.
There are, big surprise, some exceptions; or, at least, terms that only use one or the other. Tuberculosis, for example. There’s no companion term Tuberculitis. OTOH, there are very few “osis” variants of most “itis” infections. Prostatitis, parotitis, etc.
What is inflammation? What are the symptoms and signs of inflammation?
Symptoms of inflammation include: Redness. A swollen joint that may be
warm to the touch. Joint pain.
What does the prefix itis mean? itis: Suffix meaning inflammation.
For example, colitis is literally colon inflammation or figuratively
inflammation of the colon.

What does inflammation mean?
Inflammation refers to your body’s process of fighting against things that harm it, like infections, injuries, and toxins, in an attempt to heal itself. When something damages your cells, your body releases chemicals that trigger a response from your immune system.
What does the word itis come from?
More commonly known now as a food coma, this phrase directly alludes to the stereotype of laziness associated with African Americans. According to Mic, it stems from a longer (and incredibly offensive) version n—-ritis.
ITIS: A Supercharged Mediterranean Diet for RAA Dr Linda Rath
new approach to a popular diet shows a positive effect on the microbiome,
a key player in inflammatory arthritis severity and outcomes.
Design of an anti-inflammatory diet (ITIS diet) for patients with rheumatoid arthritis – ScienceDirect.
Diets fall in and out of favor, but the Mediterranean diet has stood the test of time. Decades of research have shown that a plant-based mix, including vegetables, fruit, legumes, olive oil, fish and whole grains, can improve or prevent many chronic diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and arthritis.
Scientists trace the diet’s benefits in part to its positive effect on the microbiome —
the rich ecosystem of microbes, or microorganisms, that inhabit our bodies, especially
the gut. What you eat can encourage or inhibit the growth of certain types of gut bacteria, increase or decrease overall diversity and influence metabolites the microbes produce, which are key players in activating inflammation. An unhealthy microbiome — one that’s less diverse and unbalanced — is associated with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in susceptible people.
Mediterranean Diet 2.0
“We know the Mediterranean diet is good for patients with rheumatoid arthritis,” says Monica Guma, MD, a rheumatologist and researcher at the University of California, San Diego. “But there also might be something better.” That something is what she calls the ITIS diet. It’s the Mediterranean diet supercharged with anti-inflammatory foods and herbs that may improve gut health and arthritis symptoms.
She and her colleagues spent a year designing the diet.
At four different stages, they consulted patients to make sure the diet was affordable and was one they could stick with for the two-week study period. They made a few changes as needed. The diet includes a lot of things the standard Mediterranean doesn’t, including:
A home-made green drink (green vegetables and fruit) every morning.
Oily fish such as sardines, salmon or tuna at least twice a week.
A high daily intake of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) from avocado, nuts, sesame seeds or sesame butter (tahini) Daily chia seeds and flaxseed oil. Unsweetened yogurt and miso, a fermented soybean paste Fruits high in enzymes, such as pineapple and papaya. Daily green tea Turmeric (used with black pepper for better absorption) and ginger.
It also excludes some things the Mediterranean diet allows: Wheat flour and gluten Tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant, which may worsen arthritis symptoms in some people.
Combining protein with grains (spaghetti and meatballs, for example) Red meat, sugar, soda and processed or fast foods are out of bounds in both the Mediterranean and ITIS diets. ITIS Diet Study ResultsTwenty-two highly motivated patients with doctor-diagnosed RA followed the ITIS diet for two weeks.
They continued taking prescribed medications during the study. Half experienced a 50% improvement in pain and swelling as well as in subjective measures such as fatigue, often in three or four days. A few patients went into complete remission.“They got better really quickly,” Dr. Guma says.
What about the 50% of patients who didn’t respond?
Dr. Guma says everyone felt better, had more energy and less fatigue.
But it’s not clear why some didn’t have less pain and swelling, too. Dr. Guma says the patients who saw the most improvement had better diets and microbial diversity to begin with. It’s possible the others may have needed more time. It’s also possible a subset of people may never respond due to certain conditions that inhibit the microbiome from changing as quickly or as much. This is especially true if the microbiome gets off track early in life.
Caesarean birth, for example, prevents infants from picking up healthy microorganisms in the birth canal. Antibiotics in infants and kids can wipe out most gut bacteria, which may never completely repopulate in a healthy way. Many other factors influence gut health, too, including childhood stress, trauma or poor diet.Despite the remarkable success of the diet for some people, Dr. Guma emphasizes she’s not suggesting it can replace arthritis drugs.“Many patients need meds to slow out-of-control disease.
But diet can complement regular medical care; it can decrease the need for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories and other drugs and may make it possible to taper off them at some point.”The study has several important limitations: There was no control group for comparison. It’s also impossible to know if ITIS has long-term benefits. In studies of the Mediterranean diet, the benefits disappeared when people stopped following it.
Dr. Guma plans to conduct longer trials with more participants who will work closely with dietitians. “People often want to change their habits, but it’s difficult to change them all at the same time,” she says. “This was a short trial just to see if people could follow the diet. About 80% of the participants said it was easy to make these dietary changes. Some are continuing to follow the diet on their own, but there will be times when they don’t. We just tell them to do the best they can.” Relapsing Polychondritis is an autoimmune disease in which your immune system is attacking cartilage tissue (ears, joints, etc) in your body.

Low Dose Naltrexone for autoimmune disease – Bing video
Naltrexone, a non-selective antagonist of opioid receptors, is mainly used as rehabilitation therapy for discharged opiate addicts to eliminate addiction in order to maintain a normal life and prevent or reduce relapse. In recent years, there have been some novel and significant findings on the off-label usage of naltrexone. Within a specific dosage window, LDN can act as an immunomodulator in multiple autoimmune diseases and malignant tumors as well as alleviate the symptoms of some mental disorders.
The results of increasing studies indicate that LDN exerts its immunoregulatory activity by binding to opioid receptors in or on immune cells and tumor cells. These new discoveries indicate that LDN may become a promising immunomodulatory agent in the therapy for cancer and many immune-related diseases.
In this article, we review the pharmacological functions and mechanisms of LDN
as well as its clinical therapeutic potential as revealed by our team and other researchers.
