A cure for arthritis?
Who Is Affected By Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis afflicts countless millions of people worldwide,
including more than 50 million Americans.
ABOUT 2% OF THOSE UNDER THE AGE OF 45
ABOUT 30% OF THOSE BETWEEN 45 AND 64
AND ABOUT 63% TO 85% OF THOSE OVER THE AGE OF 65
Men are more likely to suffer from osteoarthritis than are women up to the age of 45, perhaps because men tend to engage in more strenuous physical activities. From age 45 to 55, however, men and women begin to suffer equally, while women are more likely to be victims after the age of 55. Not only is osteoarthritis more frequent in women age 55 or older, it is also more severe. Millions of women of all ages have osteoarthritis and are affected twice as often as men.
A New Approach Emerges
- Instead of simply dulling the pain with drugs or performing expensive and potentially dangerous surgery, many doctors in Europe and Asia (as well as a small but rapidly growing group in the United States) are actually curing the symptoms of osteoarthritis. They've had excellent results with approaches based on a combination of natural supplements that have been shown to slow and eventually eliminate the disease in many patients.
- Our approach includes a combination of two nutritional supplements called glucosamine (GLU-COSE-A-MINE) and chondroitin (CON-DROY-TIN) sulfates. Both glucosamine and chondroitin are available without prescription.
- Since they are substances we already consume and produce in very small quantities in our bodies, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates have no known significant side effects. This amazing fact stands in stark contrast to painkillers such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and cortisone injections, which can wreak havoc on your body.
- Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates "jump-start" the production of these key elements of the cartilage matrix, and then protect them. They can actually help your body repair damaged or eroded cartilage. In other words, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates strengthen your body's natural repair mechanisms. They can replace what your body fails to make.
- Bromalien Many of today's food allergies stem from the lack of certain enzymes. Joint pain and gout could come from undigested proteins, fats, and minerals that form uric acid crystals, which in turn, get caught in joints. Yeast and bacterial growth usually start with undigested foods. White flour and sugars we eat feed the yeast and bacteria. Extreme fatigue may be caused by an inability to digest proteins and fats, causing the blood cells to stick together, become odd shaped and stacked like coins so they can't circulate as they should. When the blood is in this condition, it cannot carry as much oxygen which may result in fatigue and slow, muddled thinking.
Bromalien is a digestive enzyme made from pineapple.

Collagen is an important natural component of our skin's structure. It is also present in our joints, bones and ligaments. In young skin, collagen is abundant and imparts plumpness to the face and other areas of the body, such as our hands. As we age, the amount and quality of collagen in our body decreases, and as a result, wrinkles and creases begin to appear.
I would urge you to only use a product which does NOT contain European Chondriotin. Mad Cow disease may be a small risk but why take any risk at all?

An excellent source, which uses Oriental, not European Chondriotin, is about $10.00/bottle of 90.
