Rheumatic diseases and therapy

What are rheumatic diseases?

Rheumatism is a collective term for over 100 different diseases, most of which are associated with chronic inflammation of the joints, muscles, or connective tissue. These diseases can affect the immune system, the musculoskeletal system, and internal organs.

Common rheumatic diseases and their causes

1. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

• Chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease
• Often affects small joints (fingers, hands, feet)

1. Bechterew's disease (ankylosing spondylitis)

• Chronic inflammation of the spine
• Can lead to stiffening of the joints

1. Psoriatic arthritis

• Joint inflammation associated with psoriasis
• Frequent swelling of fingers or toes

1. Lupus erythematosus (SLE)

• Autoimmune disease that can affect the skin, joints, and organs
• Typical: butterfly rash on the face

1. Fibromyalgia

• Chronic pain in muscles and tendons
• Often accompanied by fatigue and sleep disorders

1. Gout (hyperuricemia)

• Joint inflammation caused by uric acid crystals
• Often affects the metatarsophalangeal joint

Holistic therapeutic approaches for rheumatism

Since many rheumatic diseases involve inflammatory and autoimmune processes, therapy aims at pain relief, anti-inflammatory and immune modulation.

1. Ozone therapy to reduce inflammation

• Intra-articular ozone therapy → Reduces joint inflammation
• Intramuscular ozone therapy → Promotes blood circulation and relieves muscle tension
• Large Autohemotherapy (GEB) → Regulates the immune system
• Rectal ozone insufflation (ROI) → Systemic anti-inflammatory effect
• Ozonated infusions → detoxification and immune strengthening

2. Infusion & nutrient therapy

• High-dose vitamin C → anti-inflammatory & antioxidant
• Glutathione infusions → Promotes detoxification and reduces oxidative stress
• Curcumin & Resveratrol → Strong anti-inflammatory
• NAD / NADH infusions → Supports cell regeneration
• Magnesium & Amino Acids → Muscle Relaxation & Pain Relief

3. Detox & heavy metal elimination

• Chelation therapy → Removes toxic metals that can enhance autoimmune processes
• ME2.Vie System Treatment → Cell regeneration & blood circulation promotion

4. Natural pain and regeneration therapies

• Leech therapy → Reduces swelling & improves blood circulation
• Cupping (Hijama) → Releases tension & detoxifies the tissue
• Autologous blood therapy → modulation of the immune system

5. Diet & Lifestyle

• Anti-inflammatory diet (omega-3, vegetables, antioxidants)
• Avoiding triggers (e.g. sugar, dairy products, red meat)
• Regular exercise & physiotherapy to maintain mobility
• Stress management (meditation, sleep hygiene)

Individual therapy planning

Because rheumatism is a complex and often chronic disease, treatment should be individually tailored. A combination of ozone therapy, infusions, detox, and naturopathic treatments can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve quality of life.
