The way Nigeria treats joints is just bewildering”. Prominent Israeli rheumatologist gives candid interview to Nigerian newspaper.
15.05.2021
Dr. Moshe Szold Head of the Israel Rambam Haifa Center for Rheumatology at the world famous hospital.
Joint diseases have only one cause, and it’s the same one that the doctors in Nigeria neglect.
Dr. Moshe Szold: "In Nigeria, joint diseases are still treated with outdated and ineffective drugs that must be taken by the patient throughout all their life. While in Israel, treating joint problems is as simple as curing the common cold."
Last year Moshe Szold traveled to Nigeria to study the experience of the country’s medics. He was disheartened by what he saw. According to the Doctor, the area of rheumatology in Nigeria is in such a state that it's like it's stuck in the middle of the previous century. What was it about Nigerian 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 Israeli journalists, you said that what you saw in Nigeria 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 Israeli colleagues are, hm, puzzled by the state of your medical sphere. After all, it's lagging 20 or even 30 years behind the rest of 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 Nigeria.
What your doctors prescribe to treat joints and cartilages MERELY RELIEVES THE SYMPTOMS of the disease - pain, inflammation, edema. Now imagine what goes on inside the body. When a person takes this pill, applies this gel or makes this injection, the pain goes away. But as soon as the remedy stops working, the pain immediately returns.
And pain is an important signal, because it's actually a signal sent by your brain that a destructive process is taking place in the joint. Taking regular painkillers will not heal your joints.
This joint treatment method has not been used for 20 years already. pain relievers are used only in extreme cases and very carefully. In Israel you won’t be able to buy them without a prescription which are not given out left and right to every patient.
The so-called "chondroprotectors" are banned altogether for being completely fraudulent and useless drugs. Your doctors and pharmacists are just maiming people! It is clear that it is very profitable to constantly sell pain relievers at high prices. But it is better to cure the disease once and for all, restore the dying joint, but that's not what you do here!
Dr. Moshe Szold:
- And how do you treat joints in Israel?
- All Israeli doctors, from rheumatology professors to ordinary therapists and paramedics have long understood that it is necessary to eliminate not just joint pain, but also its causes. This is the key to easy and quick treatment. What is the main cause of joint damage? The deposition of ortho-salts in the joints and spine due to impaired blood circulation and synovial fluid circulation.
Urates - true salts of uric acid, the cause of gout.
Osteophytes - calcined salts, the cause of 96% of other diseases of the joints and spine. All types of arthritis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis, osteoporosis, rheumatism and even hernias. All these diseases have one cause - deposits of osteophytes.
Salts, deposited on the surfaces of the joints, begin to destroy a person's bone and cartilage tissue.When left untreated, they grow bigger and move on to devour muscle tissue, tendons, blood vessels and capillaries, thereby causing serious inflammation, swelling and severe pain.
A very dangerous misconception is that calcium is good for the joints. And yes, it is, but only for HEALTHY joints. When the joints already hurt or crunch, it means that a layer of osteophytes has already formed in them, and calcium, in addition to strengthening bone tissue, also strengthens osteophyte salts, accelerating their growth.
That’s why Israel’s rheumatologists first of all restore blood circulation in the riddled joint, so that the ortho-salts accumulated over the years are removed from it. This, in turn, restores normal synovial fluid circulation and initiates the process of joint tissue repair.

Human joints are actually very regenerative, they know how to quickly recover, like a lizard's tail. You just need to help them a little - free them from orth-salts that "cling" to them and then the body will do the rest on its own.
