No more Pain .. increased mobility!
05.27.06 (11:41 am)   [edit]

This is a testimonial written by Andera...
I have to write this at my husband's insistence, concerning the Joint Health
Complex
and Pain Relief Complex supplements.

After spending over $1,000 at the orthopedic specialist's office, without
receiving an guarantee that he could fore-go surgery, my husband asked me to
order the Shaklee products mentioned above.  I had told him about these
after the first visit with the doctor.

My husband has received 2 shots of something supposedly superior to the
old-fashioned cortisone shots.  Well, although he had some relief
immediately after the shots, his pain diminished only somewhat but he still
h ad limited motion in his arm.  The doctor said he had a problem with
what's called the rotator cuff, and surgery would inevitably have to follow.

Well, after a little over one week with the joint and pain relief
supplements, my husband comes home from work with a great, big grin.  He
says, "It's almost too good to be true.  I don't even want to say it, but I
have almost no pain at all!"  The great thing about this, in addition to not
having pain, is that he can move is arm around, all he wants, and has full
motion.

He works one day a week a double shift at the restaurant, where he's a cook.
He had to stop working the double shifts because he's come home in such pain
that he almost could not go to work the following day. Now, he comes home
after a double shift, experiencing minimal pain, the usual anyone would feel
after 12 hours in the kitchen!

So, needless to say, Joint and Pain Relief supplements are here to stay in
this household.  Once his order is filled, I will set him up on an automatic
shipment.

I mentioned this to my sister, whose husband is a glacier, and as such, he
works long hours working with glass.  He's been in terrible pain lately and
my sister asked me to order these products for him.  He's going to give them
a try and, if they work for him as they have for my husband, they'll be on
automatic shipment too!  (As it is, my bro-in law takes the Vitalea and just
placed his second order.  My sister who is diabetic and has a thyroid
condition, just ordered the Immune Bldg Complex.)

I'm very happy and satisfied with these results for my husband, and my
brother-in-law is, too, since he's ordered his second supply.  I expect to
see wonderful results with the Sleep relief my husband has just ordered, and
I'll keep you posted in that regard.

Thanks for everything you do!
Andrea

 
Vitamin K vs Osteoarthritis
05.02.06 (7:39 am)   [edit]
 Source:  Health Sciences Institute, April 25, 2006
"Low Vitamin K Status is Associated with Osteoarthritis in the Hand and Knee" Arthritis and Rheumatism, Vol.  54, No.  4, April 2006, interscience.wiley.com
"Is There a Link Between Vitamin K and Osteoarthritis?" Cynthia K.  Buccini, Bostonia, Fall 2005, bu.edu
New research indicates that a deficiency of one vitamin may increase the severity of osteoarthritisa.  

Low levels of vitamin K may trigger abnormalities in bone and cartilage, says Boston University School of Medicine researcher Tuhina Neogi in an interview that appeared in Bostonia (the BU alumni quarterly).  Neogi noted this as the impetus behind her examination of vitamin K and osteoarthritis.

Neogi and her team examined data collected from more than 670 subjects who participated in the Framingham Offspring Study.  Blood samples revealed levels of phylloquinone (also known as vitamin K1), and x-rays were used to assess joint space narrowing and the presence of osteophytes, the bony growths that sometimes form in the joints of osteoarthritis patients.

The study produced two key results: 1) Low vitamin K1 levels were associated with a greater severity of osteoarthritis, and 2) Subjects with lower K1 levels had a greater number of osteophytes than subjects with high levels of the vitamin.

Based on the outcome of this study (published in the current issue of Arthritis and Rheumatism), the BU team has already received Arthritis Foundation funding for a clinical trial in which osteoarthritis patients will receive either a vitamin K supplement or a placebo.

Neogi told Bostonia: "We don't know how much vitamin K is necessary for these bone and cartilage proteins to function optimally.  Our preliminary observational results suggest that we probably need more vitamin K than the recommended daily allowance."

The current recommended daily allowance for vitamin K is 65 micrograms for women over the age of 25, and 80 micrograms for men in the same age group.  But in his Nutrition and Healing newsletter, Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., recommends 5 to 15 MILLIGRAMS per day.

The following SHAKLEE products provide vitamin K:
Alfalfa - 50 mcg per serving
Vita-Lea - 80 mcg per serving
Vita-Lea Gold with vitamin K - 80 mcg per serving
OsteoMatrix - 40 mcg per serving.
