Osteoarthritis - Glucosamine Relieves Arthritis Pain and Rehabilitates Cartilage Naturally
by Marvin Pirila
Glucosamine has been shown to rehabilitate cartilage reduce the progression of osteoarthritis and significantly lessen pain from arthritis. The best part is it’s all natural. (PRWEB) July 28, 2005 -- Glucosamine has been shown to rehabilitate cartilage reduce the progression of osteoarthritis and significantly lessen pain from arthritis. The best part is it’s all natural.Arthritis affects 46.5% of all persons aged 65 and over (Fife, Bruce, The Detox Book, 1997, P. 30). Arthritis is not a localized problem, but a metabolic or chemical dysfunction of the entire body. In order to get lasting relief from arthritis, the entire body must be put back into chemical balance (Fife, P. 82).
Glucosamine is very beneficial in the treatment for arthritis and is backed by numerous double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. In these studies, glucosamine has been shown to rehabilitate cartilage reduce the progression of osteoarthritis and significantly lessen pain from arthritis. While glucosamine is believed to play a role in cartilage formation and repair, chondroitin gives cartilage its elasticity.
Young Living offers glucosamine via its BLM capsules. BLM Capsules Type II Collagen is an easily absorbed source of Glucosamine Sulfate, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin. These ingredients have been shown in numerous studies to support the body as it rebuilds cartilage and resupplies synovial fluid. Ingredients: Manganese, Potassium, Chloride, Proprietary blend of: Glucosamine Sulfate, Type II collagen, MSM, Idaho Balsam Fir, Wintergreen, Clove. Manganese (Ascorbate) assists your body with processing the glucosamine. This is a very important ingredient and one that is missing in nearly every glucosamine product on the market today.
Another outstanding product receiving raving results in Regenolone. Regenolone is a pregnenolone cream that includes MSM and essential oils that combat arthritis pain, back pain, and other muscle and skeletal discomfort. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is an exceptional source of nutritional sulfur – a mineral that is vital to protein synthesis and sound health. According to research compiled by Ronald Lawrence, Ph. D., M.D., and Stanley Jacob, M.D., MSM represents a safe, natural solution for chronic headaches, back pain, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, rheumatism, arthritis, athletic injuries, muscle spasms, asthma, and allergies.
(continued from before the article) ...There are prescription
and over the counter drugs and medications (like Celebrex, Celecoxib,
Ketoprofen, Oruvail, Orudis, Meclofenamate, Meclomen, Naproxen,
Naprosyn, COX-2 enzyme inhibitors, and NSAIDS to name just a few)
as well as natural alternative approaches like nutritional supplements,
vitamins, natural and herbal remedies (like MSM, chondroitin,
glucosamine sulfate to name a couple). Diet and exercise are considered
by many to be a significant part of the puzzle. Wow. This can
be pretty confusing... Severe and advanced cases sometimes require
radical measures like joint replacement surgery. If you search
the Internet, you will find no shortage of facts, knowledge and
information on the matter. With so much study, clinical tests
from doctors and medical practitioners, and such broad beliefs
about the causes and cures for arthritis it is difficult to know
what the authoritative answer is. I certainly don't have it. But...
I've collected a broad range of information that I've found interesting
and informative. It's just a start... but we have to start somewhere.
