Arthritis and Pain-Relieving Drugs & Side-Effects
 

Common Symptoms and Types of Arthritis:  Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis
 

Osteoarthritis is characterized by stiffness, pain and joint immobility.  It seems to get worse for many people during cold or damp weather. 

Those with rheumatoid arthritis have inflamed and painful swelling of the joints and even other parts of the body.  It can cause fatigue and digestive problems as well.
 

Arthritis:  Common Causes
 

The overall cause seems to be a poor diet and lack of certain nutrients like vitamins and minerals over the long-term.  Many refined foods like white sugar that deplete the body of crucial vitamins and minerals, like calcium can be especially detrimental.  Prolonged use of cortico-steriod drugs or aspirin may also be implicated.
 

Relieve Your Arthritis Pain with Vitamins, Minerals and Other Natural  Supplements
 

Many have found that they can gain some relief from arthritis pain with various supplements.  Everyone is different, and you may need to try more than one supplement.  Make sure with whatever you decide to try for your arthritis, you take enough, and take it for long enough (at least 1 month, 2 would be better) for it to start working. 

Some supplements that have been especially helpful for arthritis pain include Mangosteen juice, whey protein powder and fish oil or even better, greenlip mussel oil.  Some other ones to try include Ginkgo biloba, devil's claw, turmeric, and green tea extract.*  Mangosteen juice contains Xanthones, powerful antioxidants that have been shown to be natural COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors (synthetic versions of these are in many anti-inflammatory prescription drugs).

Top Natural Supplements for Arthritis

It was hard to pick a few top supplements for arthritis pain and other types of pain and inflammation, and if by chance you try any of these and it doesnt’ work, try something else.  We are all different.  And in addition, to these supplements, if you have low vitamin D levels, it is very important that you either take a natural D3 supplement or get out in the sun more, and low vitamint D levels seems to make all sorts of pain, including arthritis pain, worse.

1. Greenlip Mussel Oil with Natural Vitamin E
2. Glucosamine Sulfate
3. Magnesium or Coral Calcium with Magnesium
4. Tart Cherry Juice
5. Whey Protein Powder, Undenatured Only

1.  Greenlip Mussel Oil:  Very High Anti Inflammatory Potency

One of our top recommendations for arthritis pain is Greenlip Mussel Oil.  That’s because the omega 3 fatty acids found in greenlip mussels are substantially more effective than those found in other omega 3 supplements currently on the market.  The reason for this is that is it is very high in its anti anflammatory value compared to other Omega 3 supplements like fish oil and cod liver oil.  In fact, New Zealand greenlip mussels have certain omega-3s not found anywhere else in nature. For over thirty years, scientists and researchers have known the properties of the greenlip mussel grown only in New Zealand. New Zealand greenlip mussels are shown to have the highest concentration of omega-3 essential oils on the planet.

Studies Show Greenlip Mussel Outperforms Ibuprofen
Without Side Effects

Studies throughout the world have show a liquid extract of the greenlip mussel to outperform ibuprofen, as well as other omega-3 and omega-6 supplements.  The fatty acids in the greenlip mussel are simply better at modulating the abnormal chemistry of the cell membrane with regards to pain and inflammation.  And it does this without side effects, like damaging the intestinal lining, as NSAIDs can.

Higher Dose At First Works Better To Relieve Arthritis

Many medical professionals believe that in order to combat specific  ailments such as arthritis, an increased serving size is necessary to  dowse the flame��; after which a reduction in dosage may be used to  maintain the benefit of decreased inflammation.  Many start with double or even triple the daily recommended amount for those without a specific ailment, and take it at that level for a 3-6 weeks before dropping down to maintenance levels.  It may take a while to see the difference, but once start to feel better, you can usually cut back on the dose, saving you money.

Greenlip Mussel With Natural Vitamin E:  Moxxor

The best greenlip mussel supplement we know of is Moxxor™.  The New Zealand greenlip mussel in Moxxor™ comes from a natural, pristine environment in the spectacular Marlborough Sounds region of New Zealand where the nutrient-rich Tasman and South Pacific oceans collide.

This powerful and effective all-natural omega-3 also contains two powerful superfoods:  the exceptionally potent Sauvignon Blanc grapeseed husk and the New Zealand Kiwifruit seed that  is teeming with all 8 members of the vitamin E family.  Researchers have  shown that antioxidants effectively combat free-radicals, making these great additions to the omega 3 supplement.  And vitamin E is another supplement highly recommended by many natural health care professionals for arthritis.  In addition, researchers have shown that antioxidants effectively combat free-radicals and aging.  The antioxidants found in Moxxor™ are free from genetically modified material, heavy metals, arsenic, toxins and pesticides. In addition, they are in a completely natural form, unlike many other antioxidant supplements out on the market today.

Furthermore, the bio-activity and bio-availability of the polar forms of omega 3 in MOXXOR are so potent and so efficacious that they engage on a  cellular level. While many of the benefits of MOXXOR�™ are felt quickly in the  body, some of the benefits people are experiencing with MOXXOR would not necessarily be felt physically.  For example, if it works for you, you will feel the pain-relieving effects, like for your arthritis, but the cardiovascular  benefits, and those relating to brain activity due to MOXXOR�™’s ability  to get through the blood-brain barrier as well as the antioxidant  protection of scavenged free-radicals, may not be readily discernible.

2.  Glucosamine Sulfate for Arthritis Pain

Glucosamine sulfate can actually rebuild bone and cartiledge, and in this way actually help to eliminate the cause of some arthritis, where the pain is due to bone or cartiledge that has worn away.  The longer you take it, the more it can do its work of rebuilding, and the better pain relief you may experience.  It is also rather inexpensive, and a good idea for many of those with osteoarthritis.

Best Food Choices for Arthritis
 

Foods to Avoid:

• Refined Sugar & Flour Products
• Vegetable Oil
• Nightshades, including Tomatos

When you have any type of arthritis, including osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, you want to avoid refined foods that are devoid of vitamins and minerals – these just cause your body to become more depleted of these vitamins and other nutrients.  Also, vegetable oil like corn, soybean and cottonseed oil tend to add to inflammation, so try to avoid them (they are found in most processed foods), and use more extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil instead.

Also, some people with arthritis have found relief from symptoms if they cut out all nightshade family foods from their diets*.  These include tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant and even tobacco.  Other have found relief by finding out what foods they are allergic or sensitive to, and cutting those out of their diet.

(Note:  ibuprofen is also derived from the nightshade family, and should not be used by those sensitive to the nightshades, even though it is an anti inflammatory.)

Foods to Add to Your Diet:

Adding lots of fruits and vegetables that are full of vitamin C and other vitamins can also be useful.  So can a real, homemade bone broth, which contains many minerals, as well as glucosamine sulfate which comes from the cartiledge in the bones.  Some people have reported relief, especially from rheumatoid arthritis, with the consumption of tart cherry juice.*

In addition to a vitamin and mineral rich diet and adding vitamins and nutritional supplements to your diet, bath salts, like the Masada Dead Sea Salts can be useful, as can massage and chiropractic adjustments.*

Many have also found relief with homeopathy.  Rhus Tox is commonly used in the 30C potency.  A qualified homeopath may be able to help you as well.
