Why Your Arthritis Isn't Getting Better

This astounding information is from 'The Doctors' Journal of Alternative Medicine'
"....the type of drugs most commonly used to treat arthritis are actually destroying joint tissue," says Dr. Braly.
'Arthritis researchers recently made a startling discovery. They found that arthritis medications and painkillers actually accelerate the destruction of joint tissue. These drugs also prevent new connective tissue from being formed in your joints. This means that the very treatment that people are taking to help their arthritis is, in reality, making the disease even worse.
"While they may reduce symptoms today, in the long run, they all make arthritis worse," says Dr. Braly. This includes many prescription treatments for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (or NSAIDS), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, indomethacin, naproxen, and many others.
Fortunately, there are many alternative treatments for arthritis that can relieve arthritis symptoms - and actually trigger the growth of healthy, new cartilage and tissue in your joints. '
If your arthritis is intense and you do take an NSAID or pain reliever, there's good news. Researchers have discovered a new way to protect your digestive tract from the damage these drugs can cause (like ulcers and internal bleeding). It's with an amino acid supplement called glutamine. The glutamine will actually form a protective lining around your digestive tract, like a Teflon coating, to protect against NSAID damage.'
