Let me tell you a story about termites.
You know how termites sneak into a house and start quietly chewing through the wood? At first, you might not notice anything. But over time, they eat away the strong beams, and suddenly, the whole structure gets weak and creaky.
Well, something very similar can happen inside your joints.
Instead of termites, your body has something called MMPs—that stands for matrix metalloproteinases (I know… big word!). But to keep it simple, let’s just call them the termites of your joints.
What Are MMPs (Joint Termites)?
MMPs are tiny worker enzymes. Their job is to break down old, damaged tissue so your body can clean it up and build fresh, healthy tissue.
This is totally normal and helpful… when there’s a little damage and the job is small.
But here’s the problem:
What Happens When Termites Won’t Leave?
Imagine termites getting into your house and never stopping. Even after they finish the damaged wood, they just keep chewing… and chewing… and chewing.
That’s exactly what happens when MMPs stay active in your joint for too long.
👉 They start eating away the healthy tissue, like cartilage and ligaments, just like termites chewing through the good wood.
And the longer they stick around, the weaker your joint becomes. This is how chronic joint pain, arthritis, and degeneration get worse over time.
Why Do the Termites Keep Eating?
There are a few reasons MMPs get out of control:
🔹 Old injuries that never fully heal
🔹 Chronic inflammation
🔹 Wear and tear from years of use
🔹 Stress and oxidative damage in the joint
Once they’re active, they don’t know when to stop. It’s like your joints have a never-ending termite infestation.
How Do We Get Rid of These Joint Termites?
This is where something called A2M comes in.
A2M stands for Alpha-2-Macroglobulin. It’s a special protein your body makes, and it works just like termite spray—but for your joints!
When we inject A2M directly into the joint:
✅ It traps the MMPs (the termites).
✅ It shuts them down, stopping them from chewing up healthy tissue.
✅ It protects your cartilage from further damage.
✅ It helps break the cycle of inflammation and degeneration.
With the termites (MMPs) gone, your joint finally has a chance to calm down, heal, and feel better.
Do You Have Termites in Your Joints?
If you’ve been dealing with joint pain that just won’t go away…
If you feel like your knees, shoulders, or hips are getting weaker and stiffer…
Or if you’ve been told you have arthritis or “wear and tear”…
👉 It might actually be MMPs silently eating away at your joint, just like termites in a house.
