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 Glucosamine HCL
Glucosamine works by stimulating cartilage cells in the joints to make collagen and proteoglycans, two proteins essential for the proper function of joints. Glucosamine may also help prevent collagen from breaking down.
Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin sulfate is known to protect the joints of osteoarthritis sufferers from further damage. 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.
D-Phenylalanine
D-Phenylalanine (DPA) is an amino acid. It acts as an inhibiting agent to the enzymes that are responsible for the breakdown of endorphins,
which control our perception of pain. Patients suffering from chronic pain often have low levels of endorphins. Supplementation with DPA helps to increase these levels. The natural pain-relieving action of endorphins are short-lived because they are quickly broken down by specific enzymes. DPA prohibits these enzymes, so the body can continue to increase its own natural pain tolerance mechanism. In studies with patients suffering from chronic arthritis pain, the pain threshold has been enhanced and prolonged with the use of DPA. Type II collagen
Type II collagen is the major protein in articular cartilage and is a potential autoantigen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory synovial disease thought to involve T cells reacting to an antigen within the joint. Recent clinical trials involving patients with severe, active rheumatoid arthritis showed a decrease in the number of swollen joints and tender joints among subjects using type II collagen for 3 months. Type II collagen is non toxic and considered a safe alternative to NSAID’s. Antioxidants – Vitamins C and E and Others
Deficiency of vitamin C is common among the elderly, resulting in altered cartilage synthesis and compromised cartilage repair. Studies show that vitamin C, as with vitamin E, protects and enhances cartilage formation. Animal studies show that cartilage erosion is much less in animals kept on high dose of vitamin C. Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant. Clinical trials using 600 IU of vitamin E to treat patients with OA demonstrated significant benefits. Vitamin C and E have synergistic effects. Together, they appear to enhance the stability of sulfated proteoglycan in the collagen matrix.
Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Copper, and Boron: These are necessary for the normal production and maintenance of cartilage structure. A deficiency in any one of these would allow accelerated joint degeneration. Supplementation at the appropriate level would promote cartilage repair and synthesis. Chinese Herbs
Traditional Chinese herbs have been used effectively for centuries to relieves symptoms of arthritis and promote healthy function of joints.
