Natural Cures for Common Illnesses

Doesn’t joint pain cramp your life? When reaching for a jar in the kitchen or sitting down to lace up your shoes turns into a painful experience you know you have a problem.

Pain killers are the obvious next step so you take it. And take it and take it but sometimes you hear about side effects of painkillers and wonder if there is another way to deal with joint pain. A way that does not involve taking painkillers.

There’s no doubt about it – pain killers reduce the pain in your joints but who wants to take them permanently? And pain killers are not a cure, they give your body some time to heal the damage or inflammation causing the pain.

To fix or heal the damage you need to look elsewhere but where? Lots of natural remedies are used and advertised, but do they work?

One of the most used and most studied joint pain remedies is glucosamine.

Glucosamine is made by the body and so is a natural substance which helps joints move smoothly and without pain. But sometimes it seems that we don’t make enough of our own so we need to take a glucosamine supplement to supply the “missing glucosamine”.

We could be hurting due to a sports accident or maybe just wear and tear and it is true that painkillers will reduce the pain of the injury but we need the joint to heal as well.

What you need is a “repair kit”.

And we’d like our repair kit to be effective, free of side effects, easy to use and of course easily affordable.

And glucosamine hits the mark. And in case you were wondering if there was any back up from science – the answer is yes, there are many studies showing glucosamine to both reduce pain and boost healing in the joint. And our pets have not been left out either because there are special versions of glucosamine for horses, dogs and cats. If your pet has joint pain or is limping we can help them with glucosamine too.

The doses needed to be effective can easily be supplied in a normal supplement and side effects are virtually unheard of.

Finally we do have to deal with where glucosamine comes from and usually it is from the shells of shellfish. Vegetarians and shell fish allergic people can choose to use glucosamine derived from corn instead. There are other sources too.

Let’s end with advice to get the best out of glucosamine. Glucosamine has to be used with other remedies and with a supportive diet, glucosamine is good for your joints but it is not a magic bullet.
