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. In one comparative study, glucosamine (1500 mg/day) was compared to a common NSAID called ibuprofen (1200 mg/day). 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 over the 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. A longer and larger double-blind, placebo-controlled trial also found evidence that chondroitin sulfate can slow the progression of osteoarthritis. One hundred and nineteen people were enrolled in this study, which lasted a full 3 years. Thirty-four of the participants received 1,200 mg of chondroitin sulfate 8.8% of those who took chondroitin sulfate developed severely damaged joints, whereas almost 30% of those who took placebo progressed to this extent.

MSM Plus Formula: MSM, Chondroitin Sulfate, Glucosamine Sulfate and Potassium by Ultra Botanicals MSM Plus formula combines pure pain-reducing MSM with Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate, both of which are known to relieve pain and improve mobility in osteoarthritis. MSM is a 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 indicate that both Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate can relieve pain and improve mobility in osteoarthritis. In addition to pain relief, there is evidence that Glucosamine/ Chondroitin Sulfate may actually slow the progression of the disease.
