Is it posible to to regenerate cartilage in case of degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis by any method?

It is claimed by a Bangalore based radiologist that he can cure osteoarthritis by using a new technology (Rotational Field Quantum Magnetic Resonance (RFQMR) technology) invented by him.

He claims that "this device focuses RFQMR beams on the affected joint. The beams alter the dynamics of the cell to activate and regenerate. This leads to stimulation of cartilage growth in case of degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis. The process of regeneration of tissues enhances mobility and improves the quality of life. The treatment is painless, safe and scientifically proven through successful clinical trials involving more than 500 cases over the span of three years." (See his website http://www.sbfhealthcare.com/index.html for details). Is it correct or is it yet another quackery?

What Is Cartilage?
from Good Living with Osteoarthritis

The main symptom in osteoarthritis is the breakdown of cartilage, which can lead to pain and limited motion in the joints. You may be wondering what cartilage is, and what purpose it serves. Knowing what cartilage is and what it does can help you better understand osteoarthritis and how to protect your joints.

Cartilage is made mainly of a protein called collagen, which also gives skin its elasticity. Cartilage covers the ends of bones, and provides cushioning to prevent bones from rubbing together during movement and impact. It also offers a slick surface that allows your bones to glide against each other so your joints can move smoothly.

Healthy cartilage is strong and elastic. But when you have osteoarthristis, the cushioning cartilage surface wears away. As cartilage breaks down, bones rub together and joins no longer move as easily and comfortably as they did before. The result is the pain and stiffness of osteoarthritis.

Scientists once thought that cartilage, when damaged, could not be repair itself and regenerate like bones and other tissues can. Recent research has indicated that in some cases, however, catilage can repair itself. Researchers are investigating this possiblility, which may provide clues to better osteoarthritis treatments. Currently, experimental techniques to enhance cartilage repair have only been successful following an injury in people who have otherwise healthy cartilage. However, in the future such repair may be possible.

I am interested to hear from anyone that has had this treatment and what their experience was. My mother suffers from OA and obviously this is a better option that knee surgery. Report It

you have to be sensitive with it all you need 2 do is 2 check adoctor's advice 4 that
you nedd 2 eat vegetable with a lot of vitamins
rest and think of something that can cure that
nice to do is to prevent urself from the exposure of bad env't
