The following is a synopsis of an interview done in New York about a natural cure for arthritis...

Arthritis is one of the most common and crippling degenerative diseases. Most sufferers have been dependent on daily doses of powerful drugs to ease their pain and stiffness. One group of these drugs are the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)--such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen sodium. They can cause stomach upset or internal bleeding, and long-term use is not recommended. Other drugs called corticosteroids are synthetic versions of cortisone, and can cause side effects such as weight gain, bone loss, muscle weakness, and skin change, as well as lowered immunity. In especially painful cases, joint replacement surgery is indicated where the diseased joint is removed and replaced with a synthetic one.

There are several different types of arthritis. The most common is osteoarthritis, which is caused by a chronic wearing away of cartilage, and is often associated with age. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is a chronic inflammatory disease that results in swelling and destruction of both cartilage and bone. Women between the ages of 30 and 50 are most commonly affected.

Some practitioners now recommend glucosamine sulfate. It's a simple molecule that can be made by the body, and it has been known to stimulate key components of cartilage.

According to one doctor specializing in natural remedies, "This supplement has been the subject of over 300 scientific investigations and over 20 double-blind studies. Studies have shown it produces better long-term results than any NSAID. This supplement significantly relieves the pain and inflammation of osteoarthritis.

Most people experience improvement within the first month."
