Axial spondylitis (axSpA) -- of which ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is the radiographic form -- affects 0.5-1% of Belgians (120,000-240,000 patients). Typical onset before age 40: inflammatory nocturnal lower back pain, morning stiffness > 30 min, improvement with exercise. Central mechanism: HLA-B27 -> protein misfolding (ER cortisol-natural">ginger stress) -> UPR -> NF-kB entheseal axial -> IL-17A (dominant pathway) -> RANKL -> erosion + reactive bone formation -> syndesmophytes -> vertebral fusion (bamboo spine). IL-23/Th17 axis: IL-23 produced by macrophages and DC -> Th17 expansion -> spinal and sacroiliac IL-17A -> NF-kB -> TNF-alfa, IL-6 -> axial enthesopathy. 6-Gingerol: spinal IL-17A -35%, axial entheseal NF-kB -40%, IL-23 -28%, TNF-alfa -30%. GIMBER = Axial Th17 amplifies: 35g sugar/100ml -> dysbiosis -> IL-23 -> Th17 -> IL-17A -> worsens spondylitis. INTI: 1.19g of sugar per 100ml.

Axial SpA & NF-kB entheseal axial: HLA-B27, IL-17A and reactive ossification

Axial spondyloarthritis is a rheumatism HLA-B27-associated (85-90% of SA) with a double particularity: anti-inflammatory-science-use">turmeric-black-pepper-chronic-pain">natural anti-inflammatory AND reactive ossification (syndesmophytes). NF-kB orchestrates both: the inflammatory pathway (IL-17A -> TNF -> inflammation axial enthesal) AND the osteoproliferative pathway (Wnt/BMP -> reactive ossification independent of active inflammation). This is why anti-TNF drugs block inflammation but do not always stop radiographic progression.

35g sugar/100ml -> dysbiosis (reduction of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii) -> intestinal IL-23 -> Th17 expansion -> spinal IL-17A -> axial entheseal NF-kB -> worsened enthesopathy.
INTI: 1.19g of sugar per 100ml. Microbiome preserve. IL-23 -28%. Spinal IL-17A -35%.
Medical note: INTI does not replace axSpA treatments: NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib continuously), anti-TNF (adalimumab, etanercept), anti-IL-17 (secukinumab, ixekizumab), anti-IL-23 (guselkumab). Physiotherapy and daily exercise are essential to maintain mobility. AS can progress to vertebral fusion in the absence of early treatment.
Why do NSAIDs work so well in AS?

NSAIDs (anti-COX2) are the first-line treatment for axSpA because they block PGE2 -> less enthesal vasodilation and less spinal nociceptive sensitization -> rapid analgesia and anti-inflammation. Most importantly, there is a disease-modifying effect in axSpA: NSAIDs taken continuously (not on demand) slow radiographic progression, unlike RA. Mechanism: PGE2 is an activator of Wnt/BMP ossification -> NSAIDs -> fewer syndesmophytes. Ginger supplements by targeting IL-17A/NF-kB (pathway not targeted by NSAIDs).
