There is a single cause of joint disease, but American doctors seem to completely ignore it.

Dr. Kiritani Hiroto: “Doctors in the United States persistently use outdated and ineffective medications for joint diseases, which requires lifelong adherence to the treatment regimen. In Japan, joints are treated as simply as a cold.”

Last year, Kiritani Hiroto was in the United States to exchange experiences with American colleagues. He notes that he was extremely surprised by what he saw and does not know how to explain it. According to Hiroto , rheumatology in the United States ceased its development in the middle of the last century.

After several interviews in Japan, Dr. Kiritani Hiroto agreed to share his thoughts with our American publication. He expressed concern about American medicine, focusing on the treatment of joint diseases and the grim outlook for those who suffer from such diseases.

Addressing Japanese journalists, Dr. Kiritani Hiroto expressed deep shock at the practices he encountered during his visit to the United States.

First of all, I would like to say that I am fascinated by the USA as a country, its culture, people and I come to this country every year with my family. But the state of medicine here is truly shocking to Japanese doctors. At least when it comes to treating diseases of the joints and musculoskeletal system. Your medications are at least 20 or even 30 years late. It can be said that rheumatology as a science does not exist in the United States.

Look what doctors recommend for the treatment of joints in the USA: Viprosal, Ibuprofen, Voltaren, Fastum, Diclofenac, Teraflex, Nurofen and other similar drugs.

However, these drugs do NOT treat joints, they only relieve the symptoms of the disease: pain, inflammation, swelling. Now imagine what is happening in the body. When you apply an anesthetic or give an injection, the pain goes away. But when the product wears off, the pain immediately returns.

Pain is an important symptom indicating the presence of a pathological process in the joint. Simply by drowning out the pain, we stop noticing the destruction of the joints, because there is no more pain signal. The destruction process accelerates 3 to 5 times and ultimately leads to irreversible changes, complete immobility and disability.

This method of eliminating joint pain has not been used in Japan for more than 20 years. Painkillers are used only in extreme cases, very rarely and with great caution. In Japan, they are sold only with a prescription and under the strict supervision of a doctor.

So-called «chondroprotectors» are completely banned because they are completely fraudulent and useless drugs.

Your doctors and pharmacists do nothing but harm people’s health! It is obvious that it is much more convenient to constantly sell overpriced products to eliminate symptoms than to completely cure a disease or a sore joint, but this is horrible!
