If you are going to use Glucosamine make sure it is Glucosamine Sulfate and at least 1.5 grams...
Glucosamine
Sulfate...Helps generate the viscous (Synovial) fluid that lubricates joints, is used to build cartilage, manufactures connective tissue, shown in clinical studies to promote joint health!
MSM...helps with inflammation, nourishes strong connective tissue
Vitamin C...helps with the synthesis of two primary components of connective tissue, collagen and glucosamine sulfate
Boswellia...helps with inflammation (ayurvedic herb)
I found a product that has all of the above plus manganese and minerals
and it works...when you are pain free it makes it easier to then deal with the real cause...
Natural anti-inflammatories include mangosteen, MSM, celadrin, omega 3's, GLA, boswellia, organic flax, salmon and primrose oils, fish oil and cod liver oil...
When estrogen levels start declining, many women experience what is commonly called menopausal arthritis. But what women are really experiencing is increased inflammation. Remember inflammation not only causes joint pain but also increases the risk of colon cancer, Alzheimer's, rapid aging, heart disease and more. Take bio-identical hormones!
Lousie Hay "Heal you Body" has many insights...PS I have this book and more listed on my web site...
The mental patterns that cause most dis-ease in the body are CRITICISM, ANGER, RESENTMENT and GUILT.
Arthritis...feeling unloved. Criticism and resentment...start to LOVE yourself
"I now choose to LOVE and APPROVE of myself"
***if you don't love you how can anyone else...
Arthritic Fingers...a desire to punish. Blame. Feeling victimized...I now see with love and understanding
Inflammation...FEAR. Inflammed thinking...my thinking is peaceful, calm and centered
Joints...represent changes in direction of life and ease of these movements.
I easily flow with change...
