Take control of Arthritis, and Get Your Life Back!

Red, burning, swollen and so stiff you don't want to move... that's
what those who suffer from arthritis experience on a daily basis. If
you know this all to well, you are probably one of the 46 million
Americans (that's 1 out of every 5 people) that are living with
arthritis every day. To better understand how to get relief from this
debilitating disease we need to dive deeper into its root cause.



Some of the types of arthritis which are associated with
inflammation include:



* rheumatoid arthritis
* gout
* tendinitis
* bursitis
* polymyalgia rheumatica

What is Arthritis?


Arthritis actually means joint (arthr) inflammation (itis).

Arthritis can be used to define a group of more than 100
rheumatic diseases and other conditions that can cause pain,
stiffness and swelling in the joints or any part of your body.

Additionally, it can damage the joint cartilage which can lead
to joint weakness, instability and visible deformities that can
interfere and, in severe cases, limit a person's ability to
perform most basic daily tasks such as walking, climbing
stairs, using a computer keyboard, washing dishes or
brushing your teeth. Arthritis can affect anyone regardless
of age and most commonly affects joints in the knees, hips,
hands and spine. If left undiagnosed and not treated properly,
arthritis can cause irreversible damage to the joints, bones,
organs, and skin. Not to mention dramatically impair your
quality of life.



Arthritis-related conditions primarily affect the muscles and
the bones but it is also considered to be systemic, affecting
the whole body. Arthritis can cause damage to any bodily
organ or system, including the lungs, kidneys, blood vessels,
skin and even the heart. The Arthritis Foundation sites two
independent studies (Brigham and Women's Hospital in
Boston and at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota)
both of which prove that the widespread inflammation in
rheumatoid arthritis is linked to heart disease and an
increased risk of early death.

No one really knows the exact cause of arthritis but there
are certain risk factors to keep in mind:


* Genetics - likely to contribute to risk but no one knows
how much.

* Age - the older you are the more at risk you become.

* Weight - maintaining a healthy weight will ease the load on
the joints.

* Previous Injury - major injuries are likely to contribute to
risk.

* Occupational Hazards - repetitive, high demand jobs
increase risk.

* Certain Sports - high level, high demand sports can
contribute to arthritis (however, general exercise is always
a plus)

* Illness or infection - an infection in the joint or gout can
lead to arthritis.

What we do know is that when you have arthritis your immune
system goes into over-drive and causes the joints to swell and
become inflamed. Therefore, treating the inflammation becomes
key in managing the pain and discomfort associated with this
condition.

Sadly enough, the Arthritis Foundation reports that half of those
Americans with arthritis don't believe anything can be done to
help ease their pain. You may be in that situation yourself, having
thrown your hands up in frustration and simply decided to live
with your pain. The good news is that by reducing the
inflammation you can significantly ease the painful symptoms
associated with arthritis.


Here are a few ways to reduce your inflammation:


* Exercise - less weight equals less stress on joints

* Diet - Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits and whole-grain
products; limit sugar, salt and fat (especially saturated fat
found in animal products)

* Rest - a good balance between rest and activity is the
key to joint health

* Over-the-counter and prescription medications - while
these may provide temporary relief by masking the pain
they are not always get to the root of the problem -
inflammation. They can also have serious side effects,
especially with long-term use.

* Natural anti-inflammatory supplements - probably the
 most promising natural approach to reducing inflammation
in a long while. We recommend looking for supplements
containing systemic enzymes and all-natural herbal
ingredients.

By taking these simple steps to reducing inflammation you
will be well on your way to managing your arthritis pain
and it devastating effects on your mind and body. Everyone
should strive to achieve a healthy and active lifestyle for

optimal health and wellbeing.

inflammation in his leg. He could no longer walk. Even
standing was uncomfortable.

nothing helped. Pain was ruining his life. When Dan saw
an ad for this natural pain reliever, he was skeptical. How

you what happened:



"Was I pleasantly surprised! After only 2 to 3 days on the
activation dose, I noticed reduced inflammation and less
pain in my leg."



After just three weeks, Dan started walking again. This all

drugs hadn't. You can relieve your constant, burning pain
