35,000,000 Americans have Osteoporosis, 1,500,000 have spontaneous fractures a year and 150,000 die from them; if that doesn't scare you-it'll probably scare someone who cares about you. Most often Osteoporosis affects both men and women over 50, although it affects women 300 percent more than it affects men. A published research of Clematis Chinensis, Trichosanthes Kirilowii and
Prunella has undergone rigid Double Blind controlled clinical studies,
evaluated for the efficacy and safety against a placebo in 96 patients
with classical Osteoarthritis of the knee. This formulation
demonstrated a powerful clinical efficacy, with beneficail results by
patients and investigators' opinion on the positive therapeutic effect,
with no significant side effects noted. In summary, this study
demonstrates a New triple herbal extract with anti-arthritic agents
provides excellent clinical efficacy in patients with osteoarthritis
and/or joint pain with arthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative
joint disease that may develop into severe disability and pain. It is
primarily distinguished by the progressive loss of articular cartilage
and by severe reactive changes in the subchondral bone. This
continuously developing joint pain with acute flare ups, joint
enlargements, and severe limitation of movement are most frequently
manifested and require immediate attention.
Over the past decade,
several non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) have been used to
treat osteoarthritis and other kinds of arthritis. But their usefulness
has always been limited because of their multiple adverse
gastrointestinal and renal side effects There were new classes of
selective COX II inhibitors which have been taken off the market
recently by the FDA due to severe side effects of cardiovascular
diseases.
Arthritis Special is a new formulation of pure extractions
of herbs with multiple functions which may help with anti-inflammatory,
analgesic, and may improved micro-circulation with protection against
joint cartilage degeneration.
What makes-Arthritis Special different?
An
analysis of six hundred (600) different oriental herbs that are widely
used in past centuries for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such
as arthritis in the Far East resulted in researchers carefully
selecting 53 herbs, they studied their anti-inflammatory, analgesic,
and anti-arthritic activity with blood micro-circulation enhancing
activities, and inhibition of cartilage degeneration enzyme. Using
different biological screening system, they were able to identify only
3 herbs, this special combination of Clematis Chinensis, Trichosanthes
Kirilowii and Prunella vulgaris .
In two separate medical centers in
Seoul, Korea, 96 patients with classic osteoarthritis of the knee were
allocated to this study. After 4 weeks of taking a combination of these
three essential herbal extracts, 3 times a day, the efficacy rating
reported by the research investigators, with the agreement of the
patient's own assessment, showed an incredible 95.8% improvement from
"fair to very good". Safety and tolerability assessment of all 96
patients showed no different than the placebo group. There were also no
clinical observable changes in blood pressure, pulse rate, or any
significant differences in laboratory parameters, from serum
biochemistry, urinalysis or hematology on all the groups. It is truly
an exciting opportunity to offer a formulation in pure natural
extraction of herbs directed exclusively to the relief of pain and
inflammation with improvement of micro-circulation and cartilage.
A
special ginger extract (Gingerol) has been added to this formulation.
Ginger extract has been studied as an effective alternative to NSAID
therapy for arthritic condition. A randomized, placebo controlled,
cross-over study comparing ginger extract with Ibuprofen was performed
on 75 individuals with arthritic in the hip or knee Patients who had
received ginger extract vs. Ibuprofen, study received significant
improvement of symptoms. The ginger extract (Dr. Phan, 2005, Journal of
Alternative Complimentary Medicine, Division of Arthritis Surgery at
John Hopkins University Medical School) shows that it has positive
suppression of inflammation in arthritis, and is primary attributed to
the suppression of pro-inflammatory Cytokinins produced by the joints,
found that ginger formulation maybe useful in suppressing inflammation
due to arthritis.This study was published in the Arthritis and
Rheumatism Journal, Vol 44, Nov 2001.
