Arthritis Pain in North America hasreached enormous proportions. Millions of people suffer from some form of arthritis, with a huge impact on their quality of life. According to a 1990 study, Management The Search for Natural Solutions
Conventional medical treatments for arthritispain often have serious side effects. COX-2 inhibitors, which are widely prescribed for arthritis pain and inflammation are currently under scrutiny for raising the risk of heart attacks. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS) frequently cause symptoms of ulcers, nausea, stomach pains, and acid reflux. Powerful steroids, prescribed for rhuematoid arthritis can lead to weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure, and facial swelling. The search for effective and safe MSM
MSM is a sulfer-based pain-reducing agent. It blocks the transmission of impulses in nerve fibers that carry pain signals. It also decreases pain by altering cross-linked collagen, resulting in less scar tissue. Studies in laboratory animals show that in those whose diet included MSM, there was less degenerative change of the articular joint compared to the control group.
Chemically speaking, it belongs in the same family as oxygen, for in an oxygen-deprived state, sulfur often replaces oxygen as a provider of chemical energy for the sustaining of life. MSM is related to DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). Earl L. Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D., states “MSM is fast becoming a leader in helping pain sufferers. It is a safe, natural and effective solution for many types of pain and inflammatory conditions. With all the serious, toxic, side effects of many drugs on the market today, MSM is a health aid that should be offered as a healthy alternative by doctors and health practitioners everywhere.” Glucosamine
Glucosamine stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycan (GAG). Without GAG, the collagen matrix loses its gel-like nature and its ability to act as a shock absorber. The body’s intrinsic production of glucosamine decreases in some people as a natural result of aging. The inability to produce glucosamine may be a major factor leading to osteoarthritis.
It has been shown the longer the use of glucosamine, the better its therapeutic effect. Long-term use of Glucosamine produces better long-term results than NSAIDs as determined in double-blind studies conducted to compare the two. While NSAIDs concentrate on symptomatic relief, GS appears to address the cause of OA. Chondroitin
A growing body of evidence tells us that, chondroitin, like glucosamine, slows the progression of arthritis. An important study showed that individuals taking a placebo showed progressive joint damage overthe year, but among those taking chondroitin sulfate no worsening of the joints was seen. In other words, chondroitin sulfate seemed to protect the joints of osteoarthritis sufferers from further damage. Green Shell Mussel
Green shell mussel has been used successfully to treat degenerative joint disorders for over 20. It has been found beneficial in reducing pain, stiffness and inflammation in the afflicted areas as well as increasing joint mobility. Recent studies conducted at Clemson University show that green shell mussel has immune modulating properties that may slow down the pro-inflammatory cascade that one sees in arthritis. Green shell mussel is a natural source of mucopolysaccharides (MPs) & superoxide dismutase. MPs are critical components of the body, maintaining its structural integrity. The content of MPs in the body changes when inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, bursitis, gastritis, colitis, eczema, are present. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an anti-oxidant enzyme which detoxifies superoxides and other free-radicals that can damage tissues and membranes. Vitamin C

Lignisul MSM/ Formula with Glucosamine, Chondroitin Sulfate and Synergistic Nutrients by Progressive Laboratories, Inc. The anti-inflammatory formula in GC-MSM 3550 combines pure pain-reducing MSM with Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate, both of which are known to relieve pain and improve mobility in osteoarthritis. 9 additional nutrients are added for a powerful synergistic effect. MSM is a pain-reducing agent. It blocks the transmission of impulses in nerve fibers that carry pain signals. Lignisul MSM is specifically developed as an ultrapure food grade for human consumption. Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate havechondro-protective and chondro-regenerative properties. Such substances reduce joint pain and inflammation without harming the joint. L-Cysteine is essential in the formation of collagen, the main component of the body's connective tissues. Vitamin C has a synergistic effect on both Glucosamine and MSM. Pantothenic Acidhelps to increase omega-3 fatty acids in the body Molybdenum aids in the care of joints and bones. L-Cysteine and Vitamin E are superior antioxidants which help prevent free radical damage to the joints.
