If you know anyone with arthritis, you will be aware of just how painful this condition can be at times.
Osteoathritis is pain and inflammation in the joints which can lead to long term damage and disfigurement to the joint and can become very unsightly.
Medically it is put down to wear and tear of the joints, and a by product of aging.
Nutritionally, we tend to see the underlying cause of the inflammation as being a too acid body environment.
It therefore is a condition you can do something about.
It is not just a case of take painkillers whilst it gradually gets worse.
So it stands to reason that one of the central thrusts of any arthritis programme is to alkalinise the diet, help the body detox the acid wastes and improve the body's levels of acid buffers such as magnesium.
A helping hand with this process comes in Alfalfa & Yucca, a herbal combination which helps to alkalinise the blood and expel acid toxins from the body.
Supergreens is a highly alkaline drink which helps re-alkinalize the body faster than achieved by diet alone.
Herbal remedies have traditionally proved to be effective at relieving some of the more painful aspects of arthritis, and certain nutrients can contribute to reducing inflammation, help keep joints healthy and relieve pain.
Everflex is a combination formula of Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM, all of which have been proved very useful in helping relieve arthritis for their cartilage building and anti-inflammatory and healing effects.
This also comes in a cream to rub on sore joints.
MSM is a powerful anti-inflammatory, which leads to pain relief, and also aids the liver with detoxification process of eliminating acid wastes.
Horsetail & Rosemary is a combination which is rich in silica and natural calcium, which helps the joint to heal and maintain flexibility.
Calcium-Magnesium is a nutrient blend of two alkalinising minerals which should ideally be taken together.
Calcium supplies the raw ingredient for healing damaged joints, and magnesium is needed to enable the calcium to be used.
So if you suffer from arthritis, or know anyone who does, give yourself a helping hand, don't suffer unnecessarily.
