What’s Behind

FATIGUE

Chronic Fatigue?

by Ron Lawrence, Ph.D., M.D.

Welcome to our Universe Citizens Health Tip Center

We again are present material from some of your Allopathic Research institutions and as usual we will give our critique of this information and give you a comparison of it with our scientific conclusions.

 

This is to give you more information that support our technology and scientific approach that we present to all on earth who is concerned with the Health Care Trends that are taking place on your planet.

 

We have answers to your problems that are filled will confusion and contradictions that have been created by the belief systems fostered by those individual who are declaring themselves to be the EXPERTS in health care as they specifically concentrate upon DISEASE CARE.

 

They continue, for the most part, to deny the attempts that the Alternative Health Care system has made to alleviate pain and suffering, but are now faced with the fact that not only THEIR ALLOPATIC SYSTEM does not get the job done, but neither will the ALTERNATIVE NATURAL SYSTEM do the job.

 

Neither group knows the answers although they have many of the pieces put together, they do not have the complete science to guide their choices and procedures of administration of their therapies.

 

The results is sporadic, hit and miss, with millions of individuals not receiving the help that they could have if you had our technology and science that explains it all in simple to understand and use methods!

 

We hope you enjoy this information, because it is good and does provide some help, but knowing who should use it because it will help them, they cannot tell you.  You use all of these products and procedures at your own risk.  Why should that be?

 

IT SHOULD NOT AND THERE ARE GOOD SCIENTIFIC ANSWERS TO YOUR PROBLEM of not know what to use, how much to use, how long to use it, what to do when it stops working, how to keep things working for you and a whole lot of other reasons and answers you do not have.  It all is taught in our SEMINARS.

 

We want you to understand that these wonderful discoveries are only a reinvention of the wheel, for these products were introduced into your society many years ago by Alternative Practitioner Researches and have different companies producing these same type of product.

 

These Allopathic Practitioners and Pharmaceutical companies are trying to take the credit for their discovery and get into the marketing for the money that they can make from giving everyone these products, even if they get little help or even are harmed by them.  All they can say is here are our testimonies and (try them they might work)!

      Journal of Longevity 2000 vol. 6/No. 1

You wake up feeling like a diesel truck has hit you broadside.  Whether you get eight hours of sleep or three doesn’t matter. You still feel as you haven’t slept at all. You rise, wincing in pain, and move your body in slow motion as you try to get dressed and get going” for the day.

 

But those flu-like body aches and the joint tenderness cannot be ignored. You are completely exhausted, feel a headache coming on, and have difficulty focusing. This goes on every single day for months, even years. You don’t know why—chances are your doctor doesn’t either. You start to think it’s hopeless—this is how miserable you’re going to feel for the rest of your life.

 

FATIGUE

 

You’re not alone.

Although 500,000 Americans have already been diag­nosed with chronic fatigue, literally mil­lions go undiagnosed in this debilitating state. In fact, this health problem is so pervasive that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are diligently researching its causes and severity. But despite researchers’ efforts, there is still no specific medical treatment available for chronic fatigue, according to reports in top medical journals, such as the Journal of the American Medical Association (Buchwald 1992).

 

With no mainstream solution in sight, researchers worldwide have focused their efforts on Eastern medicine—and with good reason. Ancient Chinese herbs have been used for thousands of years to alleviate devastating fatigue. In fact, the Western quest for new information on the health benefits of select Chinese plants is unprecedented, according to Dr. Carla Field (1999), reporting in Nutrition Reviews.

 

After having studied the remarkable achievements of Traditional Chinese Medicine, top U.S. researchers have targeted the most powerful plant extracts shown to fight off fatigue quickly and permanently. But before describing the exceptional properties of these energy-restoring herbs, it’s important to understand the mystery behind this elusive and epidemic health problem.

 

The Main Powerhouse of Energy

 

Inside every cell in your body are mitochondria—very small, rodlike struc­tures that are the principal energy source of all your tissues and glands. Think of them as tiny “energy furnaces” that “fire up” the cell and keep it functioning at peak efficiency.

 

Mitochondria serve as a center of intracellular enzyme activity, which produces the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) needed to “power” the cells. Mitochondria also play a key role in protein synthesis (for replenishing muscle tissue) and lipid •metabolism (for the conversion of fat into energy)—two crucial functions for optimum health and vigor.

 

FATIGUE

To fully understand the amazing effects of energy-restoring herbs, let’s examine the simplicity behind Chinese medicine that has worked so well for centuries. There are two primary organs related to energy called “chi”: the lungs and the spleen. The lungs are empowered to participate in the production of energy, which is the Western equivalent of adeno­sine triphosphate or ATP. This is a result of oxygen and iron combining in the lung capillaries, which form the energy source ATP that “drives” our cells.  The nutrients from the food then enter the bloodstream and are carried to the cells, where they feed the mitochondria—the main power­house of energy.

 

When energy is depleted in the lungs or spleen, the mitochondria can’t supply enough energy to the body. The result is low energy, poor metabolism, a weakened immune system, and an exhausted nervous system—all signs of long-term fatigue.

 

“Fire Up” the Energy Furnaces

Scientists have now identified the precise nutrients that “fire up” the energy furnaces (the mitochondria) within your cells. These plants are exactly what your body needs to quickly restore energy, strengthen the immune system, and increase mental alertness.

 

Astra ga/us membranaceus and Atractylodes macrocepha/a tonify the spleen, repair mitochondria, and produce additional white cells that enhance your immune system. The nutrients Bup/eurum chinense and Astra ga/us membranaceus improve metabolism and sharpen memory and thinking ability. Next is a more detailed description of the exceptional benefits of these and other herbs—all supported by compelling scientific research.

 

Astragalus membranaceus. This plant has been used successfully for over 2,000 years and ranks as one of the most potent health tonics in the world. In his book Radiant Hea/th, master herbalist Ron Teeguarden (1998) reports that Astra ga/us strengthens the primary energy of the body and all metabolic, respiratory, and eliminative functions. Studies have shown that Astraga/us has powerful immunomodulating effects in both animals and humans.

 

Studies conducted at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Center at the University of Houston, the world’s largest cancer research institute, demonstrated that Astra ga/us improves the immune response in people whose immune systems are ~~under siege” (e.g., individuals under­going radiation and chemotherapy). According to Teeguarden, this herb is a potent balancer of your body’s defense system; it is capable of strengthening the immune response while suppressing excessive immune activity, which occurs in people with autoimmune ailments.

 

Astra ga/us is also a vasodilator, helping to promote good circulation. This is crucial because good blood flow carries oxygen and key nutrients that feed our cells and organs, keeping them healthy and strong. If deprived of this nourish­ment, the body breaks down—which creates serious health problems, such as long-term fatigue.

Eleutherococcus senticosus (ES).

 

Grown in Russia, E/eutherococcus senticosus is known as an “adaptogenic” herb. When the body is exposed to physical stress (such as excessive heat or cold) or emotional stress, this herb helps the body “adapt” itself to a higher level to restore homeostasis (an optimally balanced state throughout the body). Some of the homeostatic mechanisms in the body include heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature, respiration, and electrolytic balance.

 

Atractylodes macrocephala. According to the prestigious Chinese Materia Medica, Atracty/odes macrocephala is “spleen invigorative” and helps to alleviate fluid retention. In one animal study, this herb demonstrated the ability to increase endurance, muscle tissue, and cellular immunity. The researchers concluded that Atracty/odes “invigorates the spleen and stomach, and fortifies the body consti­tution, as well as increasing resistance against [ailments].” In another animal study, this versatile herb showed cardio­vascular benefits by normalizing blood pressure (Chang 1986).

 

Bupleurum chinense. This herb boosts energy levels, allowing energy to flow freely and steadily throughout the body, according to herbalist Ron Teeguarden (1998). He notes that this herb is crucial because it protects the liver, the primary detoxifying organ that figures prominently in supplying the body with energy.  A smoothly functioning liver ensures that toxins—which exacerbate fatigue—are eliminated from the body quickly and efficiently.

 

The “Triggers” of Chronic Fatigue

 

The “triggers” of chronic fatigue include physical or emotional stress, toxins, micro­bial/viral invasions, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal losses, and a weakened immune system. Studies conducted at the Chronic Fatigue Clinic in Seattle focused on the most extreme form of this mala4 Characterized by overwhelming fatigue, in 85% of its vic­tims it strikes suddenly. They report that their illness began on a particular day with f1u-like signs, such as fever, pharyngitis, and joint/muscle tenderness. However~ unlike people with the flu, these individuals never fully recovered (Buchwald 1992).

 

Maintaining Your Energy Levels

Even more exciting is that all the nutrients mentioned in this story can now be found in one formula. Gero Vita, a leader in nutriceuticals, has developed Theragize—a comprehensive formula that provides the optimum boost your body needs to feel energized.

 

By committing to take these scientifi­cally documented herbs on a daily basis, you’re on your way back to an active life and doing the things you love. You may feel a positive difference after one week; however, for best results, allow four weeks to experience the full benefits of these plant nutrients. Remember, any health program requires a little patience to reverse long-term ailments.

Based on the research, I can assure you that within a few weeks, you will wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and revitalized—and able to maintain that energy level well into the evening.

 

JOINT HEALTH

 

answer: Cartilage contained collagen II, which provided the soothing effect on the wounds.  This breakthrough study was the jumping off point for many other studies on collagen II and its applications for arthritis sufferers.  One such study, conducted at a major medical center in New York City, involved 274 patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The patients were divided into two groups. The first group received collagen II and the second group took a placebo (fake pill). The results were astounding. There was little change in the placebo group, but the people who received collagen II experienced signifi­cant improvements. Patients reported not only a reduction in joint swelling and tenderness, but also increased grip strength and overall endurance. Best of all, collagen II produced no side effects.

 

It Really Worked

 

Dr. Arthur Johnson, a professor at the University of Minnesota’s medical school, set up animal tests to verify the results. His tests confirmed it was true. Collagen II definitely had a positive impact on joint problems.

Dr. S.J. Thompson, a specialist in immunology at King’s College Medical School in London, conducted clinical tests that also showed collagen II could actually block the causes of rheumatoid arthritis. This is fabulous news for people who want to avoid this awful ailment.

 

Harvard Was Impressed

Researchers at Harvard Medical School verified earlier results by putting together a study involving collagen II and its effect on rheumatoid arthritis. Within three months, the majority of the patients taking collagen II showed excellent improvement, with an astounding 14% in complete remission (no pain or symptoms).

 

The Second Discovery

After losing a friend to the ravages of arthritis, Dr. Harry Diehl, a researcher at the government’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Maryland, embarked on a personal crusade to find a treatment for this debilitating problem.

Earlier, scientists had found a very rare bacteria that caused arthritis in some animals. So he injected the bacteria into some Swiss albino mice to prepare for the drug tests.  Then something remarkable happened. The mice didn’t get arthritis! So, he injected them again with a higher dose of the bacteria—nothing happened.  After hundreds of tests, Dr. Diehl finally discovered that the Swiss mice made a substance in their bodies called cetyl myristoleate (CMO), which liter­ally stopped rheumatoid arthritis from occurring.

 

WD-40 for the Joints

CMO seemed to keep the immune

system in control by not letting it attack the collagen in the joints. Also, CMO was a super lubricant that softened the carti­lage, making it more pliable. It was sort of a WD-40 for the joints, helping them glide smoothly.

 

CMO occurs naturally and is a combi­nation of cetyl alcohol, found in coconut and palm trees, and myristoleic acid, which is found in small amounts in certain vegetables and nuts.

 

Is It an Arthritis Vaccine?

Dr. Diehl was astounded at the results because CMO had an awesome potential for stopping rheumatoid arthritis and deterring the ailment from starting.  He presented his findings to other scientific organizations but nothing was done. Even drug companies showed a lack of interest despite the enormous potential of Diehl’s discovery. Part of the reason the drug companies shied away was the fact that CMO was a natural substance and it could not be patented. 

 

 

 

Dr. Diehl retired many years later, and in 1991, he developed osteoarthritis. He had never forgotten what happened with CMO at NIH. Shortly after his doctor told him he had osteoarthritis, he made up a batch of CMO and started taking it.

 

Symptom-Free in

Three Months

Within a couple of months, he was totally free of any symptoms of osteoarthritis, so he started treating friends, who also recovered quickly.

Dr. Diehl was determined to teach scientists worldwide about his amazing discovery, so he submitted his research findings to the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, which published it.

 

As soon as Dr. H. Siemandi, a specialist in arthritis research, read about CMO, he began setting up a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical test of CMO on humans.

 

Almost 65% Improvement

The results were amazing. The patients taking CMO showed almost 65% improvement in three months. Also, the time between painful outbreaks decreased significantly.

 

Horses Get Arthritis

Dr. John Metcalf is a farm vet who became quite well known among race­horse owners because he could correct afflictions of expensive horses that other vets could not.

Over the years, Dr. Metcalf treated horses for everything from arthritis to ulcers.  His favorite medication for many problems is methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM). Plants obtain MSM, a form of sulfur, from the soil and pass it on to the foods we eat.

Every cell in your body has sulfur in it, and sulfur has literally hundreds of functions in your body. It is like a T-bar that holds all your connective tissue together—skin, cartilage, tendons, liga­ments, and muscle.

 

Can’t Repair Joints

Without MSM

Collagen can’t be made in the body unless sulfur is present, so this means your joint cartilage can’t be repaired without sulfur or MSM. (MSM is not related to sulfa drugs, so if you are allergic to those drugs, don’t worry.)

However, heat destroys MSM, so this means that unless you eat uncooked vegetables, raw meat or fish, and drink un-pasteurized milk, you probably have a deficiency of sulfur or MSM.  Mineral deficiencies cause problems more quickly than vitamin deficiencies, and the problems are more severe. For example, if you fail to get a millionth of an ounce of iodine in your diet daily, your thyroid will enlarge. That’s why salt sold today is “iodized.” Iodine is added to it because we can’t get it from plants or meat. Dr. Metcalf often saw mineral deficiencies as the cause of many problems in animals.

Amazing New Discovery

Stops Arthritis Damage

And

Rebuilds Your Joints!

 

 

By John Megenhorn, Senior Science Writer

 

W hat you are going to read here may literally change your life.

 

      One of the most prolific substances in your body is collagen, for it is the stuff that holds your body together. Your skin is made from colla­gen. It knits together calcium to form bones. Your blood vessels are lined with it. Tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and even the corneas of your eyes are made from collagen.

 

There are 14 types of collagen that are used for various purposes in the body. Type II collagen could be characterized as the glue that holds cartilage together, and when low levels of collagen exist in the body, the cartilage lining between your joints can be damaged.

 

Something Strange Is Happening

If, for instance, you have rheumatoid arthritis, some­thing strange is going on in your joints.

Your immune system, in this case the white blood cells that kill bacteria, viruses, etc., start attacking the collagen in your joints. Thus, the important cartilage that makes your joints move smoothly is being destroyed. Inflammation, pain, swelling, and difficult movement are some of the problems associated with this condition.

 

The current arthritis drugs and over-the-counter medications may lessen the pain, but many of these products accelerate the destruction of cartilage.

First Discovery

It’s amazing that doctors are still prescribing drugs as their primary method of treatment for bone and joint problems today, when the real medical solution for these problems—collagen Il—was discovered over 40 years ago.

In 1958, collagen II gained widespread recognition when a doctor at a university hospital in New York discovered that carti­lage had anti-inflammatory properties.  In other words, there was something within the cartilage that helped reduce sore, inflamed joints.  In one study, a team of researching physicians reported a significant healing response from topical cartilage when applied to surface wounds. This discovery, however, did not definitively tell them why the cartilage worked so well, so they investigated further. After months of additional research, they found the  Journal of Longevity.

 

Your bone/joint discomfort could be caused by any one of these ailments...

 

Osteoarthritis:          The wearing away of the cartilage in the joints.

 

Rheumatoid arthritis (rheuma­tism): The body’s immune system attacks the cartilage.

 

Rheumatoid spondytitis: Same as rheumatoid arthritis, except located in the spine.

 

Bursitis~ Inflammation of the bursa, which supplies fluid to the joints.

 

Fibromyalgia:             Inflammation of the muscles near joints.

 

Inflammation:             The tissues’ (cartilage, tendons, and muscles) response to damage due to injury, abnormal wear or immune system attack, and usually felt as pain, swelling and impaired movement.

 

JOINT HEALTH

 

The Vet Gets Arthritis

Throughout his life, this vet had been very healthy, rarely suffering from even a cold, but in his late fifties, he began having occasional back pains. At first, he thought it was from bending over too much, but by his 60th year, he realized he had spondylitis—a type of rheumatoid arthritis concentrated in the spinal area.

Dr. Metcalf was aware of the arthritic cartilage studies by Dr. R. Rizzo and thought to himself, “I’ve treated arthritic horses successfully with MSM, why not myself?”

 

Arthritis Disappears

After a few months of taking MSM regularly, Dr. Metcalf’s back problems disappeared.

A friend visited with an old Labrador dog that was so stiff and crippled with arthritis, it could not get up without help. The vet gave his friend MSM for the dog’s food because it is odorless and tasteless. Within five weeks, the dog was getting up by himself and walking again.

 

One of the great benefits of MSM is that it supplies the body with sulfur. Methionine helps the body to form S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM). As we all know, sulfur is one of the major ingredients in methionine—a very important nutrient.

 

Cramps are common. The Scandinavian Journal of Medicine reported that SAM relieves muscle cramps as well as fibromyalgia, which often accompanies arthritis. As you can see, SAM is very important for arthritis sufferers.

 

You Need More Than MSM,

CMO and Collagen II

Everyone who has any type of arthritis is or has been taking over-the-counter or prescription medications for their problem. Well, those drugs may have relieved your pain somewhat, but they create other problems. Not only do the drugs accelerate the destruction of the cartilage, they also stop the production of one of the most important healing mechanisms in your body— prostaglandins.

 

There are two kinds of prosta­glandins—good and bad, much like cholesterol. The bad prostaglandins cause inflammation of the joints. Normally, in any other part of the body, inflammation is an important trigger in the healing process. In a damaged joint, however, the inflammation-type prostaglandins interfere with the good guys, the “healing” prosta­glandins. Most arthritis drugs stop both prostaglandins, and joint damage continues to get worse.

 

The Incredible

Pineapple Stalk

Scientists have discovered a remarkable substance in the pineapple plant called bromelain. There’s not much bromelain in the pineapple fruit; it’s concentrated in the stem or stalk.  Bromelain has a fabulous characteristic that every arthritis sufferer needs. It stops the bad prostaglandins and doesn’t affect the good ones. Dr. H. Lotz-Winter reported clinical tests that show bromelain lowers inflammation by as much as 60% in a very short time.

 

In the journal Clinical Medicine, Dr. MG. Cirelli reported that he had used bromelain extensively for five years to treat all types of arthritis, muscle, and back pain.  Dr. M.G. Cirelli reported that arthritic patients quickly regained movement and had much less pain, swelling, and inflammation.  To find the extent of bromelain’s healing power, Dr. J.L. Blonstein conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled test of bromelain on 146 Olympic boxers.

Stops Depression

SAM is equal or superior to tricylic antidepressants, but without the side effects. Depression is common among people suffering from various forms of arthritis and, believe it or not, clinical tests show that depressed people heal very slowly compared to people who are not depressed.

 

Cholesterol Makes You Stiff

SAM reduces depression by increasing the production of phosphatidylcholine (PPC), which is a brain nutrient. PPC also makes the cell membranes throughout your body more pliant and flexible. Cholesterol makes the membranes stiff. As we age, the body produces more choles­terol and less PPC. Dr. S.D. Rao said that his clinical tests show that curcumin interferes with cholesterol uptake.  When you are suffering, you don’t move around much. The lack of activity tends to make muscles stiff and unresponsive.

 

The Side Benefits of MSM

 

When R. J. Herschler’s research was being conducted on arthritic patients, they reported all sorts of additional side benefits of MSM. Some said their skin became softer, smoother, and more pliable; their nails less brittle; and their hair more radiant and healthy.

 

It seemed that whatever their minor afflictions, MSM brought relief. The typical problems included constipation, yeast infections, breathing difficulties, migraine headaches, high blood pressure, poor circulation, and depression. Many people found that MSM also relieved ulcer problems better than Tagamet and Zantac.  Scientists believe this is because sulfur is needed by every cell in the body. A deficiency would cause many malfunctions of organs.

 

Great for Allergies

People with allergies were parti­cularly impressed with MSM. Most allergies are caused by an oversensitive immune system. Clinical tests show that MSM normalizes or stops the over-sensitivity, allowing the body to flush out allergy-causing particles. People with allergies to certain foods, such as milk, cereal, shrimp, and wheat, lost their allergic response to those foods.

 

Healed Three Times Faster

Dr. Blonstein found that the 73 boxers who were taking bromelain healed over three times faster than those receiving the placebos. In fact, most of the boxers treated with bromelain experienced almost imme­diate relief from the soreness and stiffness in their bodies.

 

Multiple Benefits

Dr. G.E. Felton reported in the Hawaiian Medical Journal that his clinical tests show many unusual benefits from regular consumption of bromelain. It reduces blood clotting and blood pressure, and it blocks the development of varicose veins. It increases lung capacity and subdues coughs and bronchitis. It is used as a digestive aid to accelerate the healing process of ulcers.

 

The Last Arthritis Problem

Many of you have heard that free radicals are one of the major causes of aging because they destroy cells, and the body’s defenses against them diminish the older we get.  There are various kinds of free radicals in the body. The most common ones are oxygen and peroxide free radicals. In the

Why Collagen II Works So Well

 

Chicken collagen II contains not only collagen but glucosamine sulfate (CS) and chondroitin sulfate (CS). Scientists have separated GS and CS from collagen II and given it to patients with various kinds of arthritis to determine what each one does.

 

Dr. E. Paroli conducted clinical tests on arthritis patients at the University of Rome Medical Center. He found that CS caused degraded bones in the joints to begin a repair process through its ability to increase absorption of calcium.

 

Dr. A.E. Kingston gave animals CS and then tried to induce arthritis with that rare bacteria mentioned earlier. The animals were protected by CS and didn’t get the ailment.  Those that did suffer showed something different in their joints, there is a different free radical, nitric oxide.

 

According to Dr. S.H. Ralston of the University of Aberdeen, nitric oxide radicals create a tremendous amount of damage in the joints—especially where there is inflammation. In fact, Dr. D.R. Blake reported in the famous British medical journal Lancet that his studies indicate free radicals in the joints may be the trigger that causes rheumatoid arthritis.”

 

OUR COMMENT:

 

Using a toxic chemical to alter the free radicals that are in the body is not the correct answer!  What needs to be done is to stop putting, into your body, the things that the body cannot deal with from which these free radicals are created!  This same thing should be the required manner in treating stomach and digestive upsets: stop eating poisons that create gas and other toxic substances that disturb those organs!

 

“Walking Speed - Up 72%

The test results for GS were almost identical to CS. Dr. J.M. Pujalte reported in the journal Current Medical Research and Opinion that GS totally eliminated swelling, and the pain decreased by an average of 80% in a three-month period.

 

Other clinical tests showed similar results, with walking speed increasing 72%. Many patients were symptom-free in six months.  Long before chicken collagen II was identified, the basic therapy for arthritis in Europe was CS and CS, according to comments by Dr. C. Rovetta of the Institute of Rheumatology in the journal Experimental Clinical Research.

 

Gobbles Up Radicals

Fortunately, scientists have found a natural substance that particularly likes to go after nitric oxide radicals. It is called curcumin and is found in the root of the turmeric spice plant. Turmeric is commonly used as one of the spices in curry-type dishes.

 

Dr. V.K. Shalini says that curcumin is twice as powerful as beta-carotene and vitamin E in stopping nitric oxide free radicals.  To give you an idea how much nitric oxide radicals contribute to arthritic problems, Dr. S.D. Deodhar gave curcumin to patients with arthritis for two weeks. The curcumin reduced swelling by over 25%, decreased morning stiffness by 10%, and improved walking time by 15%.

 

 

Many Side Benefits

Curcumin has numerous side benefits. It is particularly protective of the liver, and it is used in Europe and India for alleviating hepatitis. It also breaks down fats in the liver, helping with weight reduction.  Some doctors use itto stop inflammation associated with asthma and bronchitis. Others find that it deters blood clots and suppresses digestive gases from gas-causing foods.

 

Where to Get the

Ingredients

The only company to put together all of the substances mentioned in this article is a company that specializes in ailment-targeted nutriceuticals, Gero Vita. Their product for all types of arthritic problems is called Arthro-7, and it is available in 33 countries, including the United States.  Arthro-7 contains the proper amounts of each of the following:  •Collagen type II, which contains naturally occurring glucosamine sulfate (GS) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) * Methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM) • Cetyl myristoleate (CMO)• Bromelain • Curcumin • Vitamin C • Lipase Gero Vita added vitamin C to the formula because it enhances the absorp­tion of collagen. Lipase is helpful in the absorption of CMO and curcumin.

 

Some people begin noticing the effects within a week or two, but most people start seeing definitive results in about six weeks, and then the progress is noticeably steady. You must remember that the damage to your joints didn’t happen overnight, and the repair won’t happen overnight either.
