Valuable in Arthritis
Conditions

Introduction
Arthritis is a disease of epidemic proportions, but it has been
around for so many centuries that it is considered by most people
as a part of growing old or a consequence of physical injury.
Arthritis is in fact a far more complex disease than is generally
known. For instance, Dorland's Medical Dictionary describes 27
different types of arthritis, and that does not include such
diverse conditions as systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma,
fibromyalgia, and numerous other conditions which some authorities
consider to be types of arthritis.1 One authority states
that there are approximately 100 causes for arthritis.2
Arthritis is thought to affect more than 50 million Americans,
and is generally accepted to be the leading cause of movement
limitation and disability. It deserves and receives a great deal
of research and medical attention. There are hundreds of drugs,
procedures, and medical aids and devices directed at coping with
the many manifestations of the disease. Given this degree of
complexity, certainly no one agent alone could ever be expected
to manage or cure "arthritis" in its entirety. New
agents take their place in the spectrum and make a contribution.
Now there is a relatively new discovery of a natural substance,
cetyl myristoleate, which shows promise of making a great contribution
in non-infective types of arthritis.
Cetyl
Myristoleate
Cetyl myristoleate was discovered and isolated by one person,
working alone, on a quest to find a cure for arthritis. Harry
W. Diehl, while employed by the National Institute of Arthritis,
Metabolism, and Digestive Diseases, specialized in sugar chemistry.
He used his chemical knowledge and research instincts to great
advantage, identifying and characterizing over 500 compounds,
several of which were patented by the National Institutes of
Health (NIH). His most significant discovery before cetyl myristoleate
was a method of synthesizing 2-deoxydextroribose, a sugar used
in the preparation of oral polio vaccine by Dr. Jonas Salk.3
Diehl's interest in discovering a way to help victims of arthritis
began over 40 years ago when his friend and next door neighbor,
a carpenter, developed severe rheumatoid arthritis. His condition
deteriorated over time until he became disabled. The neighbor
had a family to support, but his arthritis made that impossible.
Diehl is a deeply religious man whose feelings overwhelmed him
as his friend's condition worsened. Harry thought, "Here
I am working at the National Institutes of Health, and I have
never seen anything that was good for curing arthritis."4 > He decided to establish
a laboratory in his home and embark on a search for something
to relieve the pain and disability of his neighbor and the millions
of people who suffer from arthritis. Unfortunately, he was too
late to help the neighbor, but Diehl's research did lead to the
discovery of cetyl myristoleate, which may someday be hailed
as one of the significant nutritional discoveries of the 20th
century.
The
Quest
As a researcher, Diehl knew that finding a cure for arthritis
first meant inducing the disease experimentally in research animals.
He started with mice, and quickly realized that he was unable
to induce arthritis in them. Diehl said he tried every way he
could to give those mice arthritis, but they just would not get
it. Then, he contacted a researcher in California who wrote to
him, "If you or anyone else can give mice arthritis, I want
to know about it, because mice are 100% immune to arthritis."5 At that moment, Diehl's
research instincts told him that what he wanted was already somewhere
in those mice.
It was a long, tedious job, working on his own in his spare time,
but Diehl finally found the factor - cetyl myristoleate - that
protected mice from arthritis. As Diehl said, "It didn't
come on a silver platter to me, but after years of chemical sleuthing
and just old-fashioned chemical cooking, I found it!" On
thin layer chromatography of methylene chloride extract from
macerated mice, Diehl noticed a mysterious compound, which was
subsequently identified as cetyl myristoleate. As Diehl was to
prove, cetyl myristoleate circulates in the blood of mice and
makes them immune to arthritis.
Cetyl myristoleate is now known to exist in sperm whale oil and
in a small gland in the male beaver. At this time no other sources
in nature are known to contain cetyl myristoleate. While the
first amounts of cetyl myristoleate for experimentation were
extracted from mice, Diehl quickly developed a method for making
cetyl myristoleate in the lab by the esterification of myristoleic
acid.
