What are good supplements for joint pain?

Answer 1

Glucosamine is all the buzz at the moment and clinical trials are proving that it is quite effective in joint maintenance, recovery from operation and pain from debilitating illnesses such as rhuematoid arthritus or oesteo-arthritus.

Depending upon the reason for your joint pain may determine a suitable treatment. Another natural product listed and approved by the TGA Aust. and the FDA is called Oralmat. This supplement is taken sublingually and applied topically.

As reported by Dr Chris Reynolds.m.d.
Being a general practitioner I have been able to use the extract across a broad spectrum of medical conditions. Often this has been in a "last resort" situation, where chronicity was a feature, and the patient's condition had stagnated or was becoming worse. Many patients have experienced symptomatic relief, and some have been cured. Many conditions improved when nothing else worked, as in refractory osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, Raynaud's disease, teething, chronic cough, acute otitis media, epicondylitis and fracture pain. Now other general practitioners, consultants and alternative therapists are beginning to use the extract in a variety of clinical settings. Hopefully this report will provide a sort of "confidence-matrix" within which therapists can try out the extract for themselves.

Anti-inflammatory Effects

The cream has repeatedly proven its efficacy as an anti- inflammatory agent. This effect is most pronounced in the treatment of osteoarthritis, where patients frequently report significant relief of symptoms sometimes as little as 10 minutes after application of a small amount of the cream over the affected joint margins. Other patients experience symptomatic improvement within a few days to a week. Most patients experience at least some relief of symptoms.

One can conjecture a prostaglandin inhibitory effect or substance P inhibition or both in this setting. However, an as yet undiscovered immunological pathway as demonstrated by rapid relief of joint stiffness may be responsible. On the other hand, it seems paradoxical that rheumatoid arthritis responds initially to the cream, but the relief is short lived. Joint stiffness is not markedly affected as in osteoarthritis, and further applications seem to have little if any effect. These patients might benefit more from systemic treatment in combination with topical application of the cream and traditional medications, particularly if immunosuppressants are being used.

Osteoarthritis

An 80 year old woman suffered from a stiff, painful monoarthritis of the knee, which no longer responded to NSAIDS or intra-articular steroids. She was told by her orthopedic surgeon to "learn to live with the pain" as nothing more could be done for her. Approximately 10 minutes after applying the cream to the joint margins, she had regained almost a full range of pain-free movement. She remained symptom-free several months later using the cream once at night.

Epicondylitis

I have treated many patients with this troublesome problem, usually to good effect. Occasionally cure is effected in a few days after regular application of the cream. More commonly, pain is relieved and functionality restored for several hours after application. The cream may have to be used regularly or intermittently over a period of months or perhaps years, but the patient at least enjoys an improved quality of life. Simple Ganglion

Ganglia sometimes respond quite rapidly to application of the cream, when they soften, and diminish in size. This can happen over a period of ten minutes or so. The pain of tender nodules is also relieved. Ingrown Toenail

Patients receive rapid relief of pain from application of the cream, the swelling and inflammation settles quickly, the skin softens and infection is eradicated. Cervical Pain

I have used the cream on many patients with cervical myalgia and related disorders such as shoulder-hand syndrome. Some patients have responded, but results have been generally disappointing.

Osteochondritis

The cream can be very useful in this condition if applied regularly.

Periorbital Inflammation

A young male presented with severe pain in his left eye. There was associated bilateral periorbital edema which rendered him unable to open his eyes for closer examination. The cream was applied and within five minutes he was able to open his eyes sufficiently to be examined. By ten minutes, the periorbital swelling had completely resolved. He had opthalmic herpes simplex. Plantar Fasciitis

Several patients responded to treatment with the cream, symptoms disappearing in as little as three days. Other patients enjoyed relief of symptoms but required extended treatment.

Trochanteric bursitis

This condition has responded well in every case I have so far treated. One 75 year old male in particular required only one application of the cream. He had had pain for over two years.

Temporo-mandibulitis

3 patients with pain in a temporo-mandibular joint responded within minutes to topical application of the cream over the affected area. One patient showed no response but was lost to follow up. Tendonitis

Patients suffering from inflammatory conditions of tendinous tissue generally do very well soon after applying the cream. Symptomatic relief is usually quite rapid, but follow up data is not available.

Topical Analgesic Effects - Acute Skin Excoriations

A young restaurant manager presented with acute perianal excoriation, probably stress related, which was painful on sitting and standing. The cream was applied giving instant relief of pain and the lesion healed completely in two days. Aural Abscess

A woman presented with severe pain in the right ear, headache and fever for three days due to an external canal absces unresponsive to analgesics and antibiotics. She had not slept nor been able to move her head for 72 hours. Oralmat drops were applied over the abscess and the cream smeared around the auricle. Ten minutes later the abscess was incised and drained causing minimal pain, the patient's headache resolved and she felt and looked well. Metastatic Bone Pain

Several patients suffering from metastatic bone pain enjoyed rapid pain relief following application of the cream. Although the duration of analgesia was only in the order of 2 to 3 hours, I believe this area of efficacy warrants thorough investigation and further development. The possibility of a rapid-onset, effective, non-narcotic, non- toxic analgesic for cancer patients can not rightly be ignored.

Answer 3

Try to find a combination supplement at a good health food store. One that has glucosamine to help rebuild cartlidge, MSM, tumeric(curcumin) and bromelain are good anti-inflamitories,devils claw or boswellia are affective pain killers.
Two i know by name are Nutri-Flex by Naka and Joint Start by NutriStart.
A different way to go is with Serrapeptase. All kinds of pain have been releived with this product. Enerex sells the best one i beleive. Use the 60,000 IU and take 6 a day until you get releif. Usually within a week or two. Take on an empty stomach. Very important. Then you can reduce your dosage to 2-3 a day for maintenance. Keep in mind that if it is arthritis you have then the Serrapeptase is keeping down the inflamation and pain but not rebuilding the cartlidge so Glucosamine is recommended along with it. Serrapeptase is wonderful for all kinds of pain and actually removes all "dead" tissue from the body, so it can be used to clean arteries, lower cholesterol and reduce swelling. It is prescription only in most European countries but available over the counter in Canada and the US. It is used mainly by doctors in Europe to treat heart patients and numerous studies have been done on it. There is also no concern with any interactions when using prescriptions. I hope this helps. By the way, i have managed a vitamin store for 8 years now and keep up with the latest in supplements. Good luck.

Answer 4

I tried all kinds of things (glucosamine, chondrontin (sp?), MSM, topicals) for about 5 years dealing with shoulder pain and elbow pain from tennis injuries and this is what I found finally that works:

1 teas. cod liver oil and 1 tablespoon of high lignan flax seed oil per day.

I had been having pain off and on and for some weeks all the time. In about 2 weeks after starting these supplements it cleared up. Fish liver oil capsules do not work, use the cod liver oil in the bottle.

Answer 6

Herpes is an infection caused by the virus called Herpes Simplex Virus. The virus is of two types. HSV1 and HSV2. Herpes Simplex causes sores, and rashes on face and genitals. The virus type 1 causes sores on the mouth, which are called cold sores. The second virus type causes genital herpes.

Once you get herpes virus, it never leaves your body. The only thing you can do is to get it treated whenever it shows up as sores with blisters. After treatment the virus goes back into dormancy, but does not get eliminated from body. Whenever it gets triggered again, it will show up as a sore.

You can try with natural remedies. I really saw great results with the method described on this site http://herpescure.toptips.org
