Natural Treatment for
Osteoarthritis
Instead of just dulling your pain and brain with drugs or getting costly
dangerous surgery, many people in Europe, Asia, and a few in the USA are now
curing the symptoms of osteoarthritis. These people are getting excellent
results using a combination of natural supplements that slow and eventually
eliminate the disease in many patients. The approach includes a combination of
two nutritional supplements called glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates. Both
glucosamine and chondroitin are available without a doctor's prescription.
These are substances we already consume and our bodies produce
in very small quantities. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates have no known
negative side effects unlike painkillers such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatories
and cortisone injections which can do significant damage to your body.
Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates can actually help your body repair its
damaged or weakened cartilage by assisting your body's own natural repair
mechanisms.
Chondroitin More Effective Than Drug Treatment:
In a sixth-month-long, double-blind study, chondroitin sulfate had longer-
lasting benefits than nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In this
randomized test, 146 patients with knee osteoarthritis were given either drugs,
a placebo or chondroitin sulfate for six months. Research showed that although
those on NSAIDs had prompt pain reduction, the pain returned at the end of
treatment, while those on chondroitin sulfate responded slower but for a longer
period of time, up to three months after the treatment was over.
Chondroitin sulfate acts like a bunch of magnets attracting
fluid into proteoglycan molecules. This is important to your body for two main
reasons:
1) this fluid sweeps nutrients into your cartilage
2) the fluid acts as a spongy shock absorber
Chondroitin can protect your existing cartilage from a premature
degeneration or breakdown. It does this by blocking certain cartilage destroying
enzymes and enzymes that prevent transporting of nutrients.
Chodroitin sulfates have been found effective for people suffering from
osteoarthritis. Glucosamine or chodroitin can work synergistically when taken
together to stimulate cartilage production and to help control cartilage
damaging enzymes. Your body can heal itself by using both of these supplements.
The glucosamine and chondroitin combination is a powerful "natural"
weapon against osteoarthritis.
Chondroitin Sulfate is also known as:
Chondroitin, Chondroitin Sulfate-A,
chondroitin-6-sulfate
