Symptoms, conditions and causes
What are the potential causes of joint pain, and how do factors such as injuries, arthritis, and underlying health conditions contribute to this issue?
Joint pain is a problem that can be resolved by nutrition and proper diet. Certain foods and nutrients can reduce the inflammation and speed the recovery process of your joints and bones.
Cause #1: Nutritional deficiencies
When you are lacking certain vitamins in your body it can cause a lot of joint pain. This is because these certain vitamins are required for the healthy functioning of your joints and body tissues.
Vitamin D3 is one of the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory vitamins. It will help with joint pain and reduce inflammation.
Vitamin K2 is a vital nutrient that helps to move excess calcium deposits from your joints into your bones.
Vitamin C helps to develop and repair bones and joints in your body by making collagen (proteins for bones and joints). If you have fatigue in addition to joint pain that’s a good indicator of vitamin C deficiency.
Colostrum is a great anti-inflammatory and a good supplement for joint pain.
Vitamin D3 (get 20,000 to 40,000 IU daily):
Consume cod liver oil
Get more exposure to the sun
Take a vitamin D3 supplement
Vitamin K2 (get 300 to 400 mcg daily):
Consume vitamin K2-rich foods:
grass-fed milk
cheese
butter
goose liver
grass-fed organic egg yolks

Vitamin C:
Consume vitamin C-rich foods:

Cause #2: Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are various poisons which are released from mold and fungus that can affect your joints and your immune system in a bad way. One thing to know is that consuming refined carbs and sugar will worsen the problem as mold and fungus live on sugar and carbs.
Remedies:

Consume grapefruit seed oil
Consume bentonite clay
Consume garlic
Do the Healthy Keto® diet

Cause #3: Omega-6 fatty acids
When you consume certain oils that contain omega-6 fatty acids, they can greatly spike the inflammation in your body and this alone can cause you to have joint pain. The solution would be to avoid foods with omega-6 fatty acids and to consume more foods with omega-3 fatty acids (these are anti-inflammatory).
Remedies:
Avoid foods containing omega-6 fats:
corn oil
soy oil
canola oil
cottonseed oil
sunflower oil
vegetable oils in general
too many nuts
Substitute with these oils containing omega-3:
butter
olive oil
