If
you have experienced occasional or constant joint pain – whether or not you
are arthritic – there is a very urgent need to act right now.
A
new study published in journal Arthritis
Research & Therapy now shows that joint pains are actually more
serious than arthritis.
Fortunately,
something that can be done immediately to reverse the process. However, if you
wait, it can be too late.
A
team of scientists recruited and compared 2,120 people with no radiographic
osteoarthritis and 2,249 people with radiographic osteoarthritis.
Radiographic
osteoarthritis simply refers to arthritis that can be observed
on magnetic resonance imaging and on x-rays.
Researchers
assessed the participant’s knee pain using the Western
Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index at the beginning of the
study and a year after.
Researchers
then used magnetic resonance imaging and x-rays to examine cartilage volume and
progression of Radiographic osteoarthritis, if present, at the beginning of the
study and four years after.
Surprisingly,
even those who had measurable arthritis had very little
problems down the road if they did not have any joint pain in the beginning.
But those with persistent or serious pain were a different matter
altogether.
Both
those with scan-detectable and scan-undetectable arthritis at the beginning of
the study who had experienced fluctuating or persistent pain went on to suffer
faster cartilage volume loss than those with no pain did.
In
other words, those who had knee pain in the absence of arthritis lost more
cartilage in the following four years than those did who had painless
arthritis.
Fortunately,
arthritis can be reversed using simple diet and lifestyle changes. The sooner
you take action however, the quicker and better the results will be.
Can this
Popular Fruit Reverse Arthritis Fast?

Arthritis Pain
Reduced 62% With A Popular Fruit
New
studies have revealed the amazing ability of one specific fruit in diminishing
arthritis pain and stiffness.
And
it works in the long haul.
What’s
more, it doesn’t matter if you suffer osteoarthritis, rheumatoid or any other
type of arthritis, eating this delicious fruit will cut your pain by up to 62%.
The
best part is, it’s available in most supermarkets worldwide.
Pomegranates
have recently become popular, not just for their taste, but for their medicinal
properties in treating anything from arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease,
diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, ED, male infertility, and many other conditions.
One
claim seems wilder than the next.
Yet,
one such claim that is accumulating an impressive amount of research, however,
is the ability of pomegranate to manage arthritis and arthritis pain, primarily
due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
As
per the norm, early studies were conducted on animals. For example, a 2009
study in the journal Phytotherapy
Research found that pomegranate juice could not only reduce
osteoarthritis pain in mice, but could also halt the inflammation and repair
some of the joint damage that was caused by it.
A
small exploratory Israeli study, with only eight subjects, published in the Israeli Medical Association Journal
the tested effects of pomegranate extract on human beings with rheumatoid
arthritis in 2011.
And
their findings surpassed their wildest expectations.
They
first analyzed their participant’s conditions, after which they gave them the
pomegranate extract for 12 weeks.
They
then examined their physical conditions again and found that there was a 62% reduction in pain and a 17% reduction in limb
impairment.
They
also discovered that free radicals were causing less oxidative damage.
Most
experts believe that pomegranate exercises its effects through chemicals called
polyphenols. These polyphenols include flavonoids, condensed tannins, and
hydrolyzable tannins, all of which are the same substances that give berries,
grape wine, and green tea their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
The
healthiest form to take pomegranate would thus be as an extract or as a whole
fruit.
Unfortunately,
juicing it would remove the fiber that is meant to slow your body’s absorption
of the fructose and even promote its excretion. Such high, uncontrolled sugar
content would then spike your blood glucose levels and can end up being stored
as fat.
Powerful Spice Heals
Arthritis (beats leading drug)
In
a recent study, it was found that a natural spice beat one of the leading
arthritis drugs on the market in pain and swelling reduction as well as limb
function.
In
addition, you can add it to smoothies, salads, soups, vegetable stews, pizzas,
pasta, and almost any other dish.
The
best part is, it seems to work for all types of arthritis and has absolutely no
side effects.
Scientists
have long suspected that curcumin could relieve
arthritis pain and halt the progression of disease in rats and mice, but it is
only in the last few years that they began to seriously test it on human
beings.
From
these tests, two studies are especially encouraging.
For
osteoarthritis sufferers, Canadian scholars demonstrated in the journal Alternative Medicine Review that curcumin could relieve
arthritis pain, reduce inflammation, and improve limb function.
They
divided a hundred participants into two groups. One received what they
considered the best arthritis treatment available, while the other received the
same treatment together with a curcumin supplement. The study continued for
eight months so the researchers could also verify that the supplement was safe
for long-term use.
By
the end of the experiment, the curcumin supplement group was found to have much
better limb function, walking ability, and everyday activity performance than
the control group. They were also found to have considerably less inflammation
and pain.
Two
years later, the Phytotherapy Research
published a study that compared a curcumin supplement with the non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory diclofenac sodium (brand name Voltaren).
All
45 of their subjects were all suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis. They
divided them into three groups. The first received a curcumin supplement, while
the second received diclofenac sodium, and the third received a combination of
the two.
By
the end of the study, the curcumin groups had improved substantially more than
the diclofenac sodium group. Their pain and swelling had reduced significantly,
and their limb functions had improved.
The
only problem with food-sourced curcumin is that the human body does not absorb
it very well. Curcumin powder alone contains enough curcumin, but your body
probably won’t absorb enough of it, unless you cram at least three grams per
day down your throat. Curry powder does not contain enough curcumin to let your
body enjoy these beneficial effects in any capacity.
That
leaves curcumin supplements. Both these studies used special bioavailable
supplements. These are now becoming commercially available, but you must read
the label to confirm that the manufacturer has taken care to make it
bioavailable.
I
highly recommend buying it in a respectable health food store, even if it costs
a little more.
This post is from
the Arthritis Strategy Program. It was created by Shelly Manning, a former arthritis
sufferer and a health consultant.
A Brief Background on the Author
Like you, Shelly Manning also suffered from arthritis, particularly
osteoarthritis. This was due to her weight and desk job. Her condition
eventually took a toll on her relationship with her (former) husband.
It was when she went to Hong Kong that she met Janerdquo, an old woman
who owned the restaurant where she ate. Janerdquo supposedly offered her a bowl
of a weird-smelling soup, which helped ease her joint pain. She ate there each
day for 10 days until she was completely healed from arthritis.
Shelly Manning decided to research this natural remedy and to create a
step-by-step treatment plan to others who are suffering from different types of
arthritis, such as gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia,
and psoriatic arthritis.
That’s why she created “The Arthritis Step By Step Strategy.” According
to her claims, this unique strategy will get rid of joint pain and stiffness,
repair your damaged joints, and treat the underlying cause of your arthritis.
Shelly teamed up with Christian Goodman, the owner of Blue Heron Health
News, a publishing company that aims to help people to take responsibility for
their own health by using natural health alternatives.
