Combating Osteoarthritis

That is the title of the feature article in the November  Alive  by Sara Henderson ND and she points out , in addition to ways to fight it, that some 50 percent of persons over the age of 50 suffer from this health problem.


She also highlights some effective non pharmaceutical treatments, which of course  only mask symptoms. These are Glucosamine/Chrondroitin, Type II Collagen and Eggshell Membrane.


As she says these, especially, are all promising non-pharmaceutical optins for treating and managing  osteoarthrthritis -- which is often made worse by other pharmaceutical medications for treating  asthma and pulmonary lung disease.


For more information check out this interesting and informative article. And then, remember what my old swim coach used to tell me, "If you only read about it, but don't master the swim strokes you are still going to drown."


The same thing is true with health care knowledge.
