You would not think of exposing yourself to an Atomic Bomb fallout or excessive X-rays. But not getting enough vitamins and minerals is just as dangerous. Cells in your body not getting their vitamins and minerals suffer both DNA and mitochondrial damage. These cells under a microscope look like they have been hit with radiation. This type of damage may cause you to age faster and can lead to Cancer and other degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and others.
 

 
"It's virtually impossible to get sufficient quantities of some 
key nutrients from food alone - even with the most healthful diets."

Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory type of arthritis, and is an overactive autoimmune disorder. Like other autoimmune disorders, rheumatoid arthritis is a "self attacking" disease. Where the person's immune system incorrectly identifies the synovial membrane as foreign. Resulting in inflammation that damages both cartilage and tissues around and inside the joints. Often, the bone surfaces are destroyed because inflammation in the joints causes enzyme  production that digest nearby tissue. The human body replaces the damaged tissue with scar tissue, causing spaces within the joints to become smaller and the bones may fuse together. Rheumatoid arthritis creates stiffness, swelling, fatigue, anemia, weight loss, fever, and a crippling severe pain. Rheumatoid arthritis normally occurs in people below 40 years old. Over 2 million Americans have this health problem, of which 75% are female. Juvenile arthritis is a form of rheumatoid arthritis that strikes children under 16 years of age, affecting over 71,000 young people who are mainly female. The start of rheumatoid arthritis maybe triggered by physical or emotional stress, poor diet and nutrition, or even bacterial infection. While osteoarthritis affects individual joints, rheumatoid arthritis can affect all of the body's synovial joints. Joints affected by rheumatoid arthritis tend to make a sound like crinkling cellophane, and osteoarthritic joints make banging, clicking, or popping noises. Arthritis can also be caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal infection of a joint. The microorganisms most commonly involved in this type of the disorder are streptococci, staphylococci, gonococci, hemophilus or tubercle bacilli, and fungi such as Candida albicans. Normally the infecting organism gets to a joint via the bloodstream from an infection somewhere else in the body, but injury or even surgery can cause joint infection. Symptoms include redness, swelling, pain, and tenderness in the affected joint, often accompanied by systemic symptoms of infection such as fever, chills, and body aches.
