Arthmender treats the underlying causes of chronic joint inflammation - not just the symptoms!

Arthmender contains the 12 most joint rejuvenating herbal concentrates available in Ayurvedic Science and backed by clinical studies. When formulated in the correct amounts and blended by our proprietary process, 269 natural phytonutrients exert 514 synergistic activities on your body to restore joint suppleness and flexibility by reducing inflammation and pain, eliminating toxins, curtailing free radical activity, counteracting autoimmunity, improving circulation, engendering cell production and repair, shrinking inflamed tissues, preventing excessive blood clotting, lubricating and smoothing joint structures, improving calcium absorption, and relaxing and toning muscles.

Arthmender reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, suppressing cyclooxygenase-1, cyclooxygenase-2, 5-lipoxygenase, and cytokines, and neutralizing leukocyte elastase and free radicals. It helps eliminate toxins by increasing fluid secretion in the intestinal mucosa and forcing waste out of the body before toxins are absorbed through the intestinal wall. Free radical (tissue damaging) activity is curtailed by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and raising levels of Vitamin C and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide and hydroxyl radicals. Arthmender promotes healing of joints by stimulating peripheral and collateral circulation, facilitating thyroid functions and supplying Tryptophan to increase metabolism and repair activity, inhibiting platelet aggregation, reducing synovial fluid leucocyte count and lowering elevated serum transaminase levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rates, and supplying Lysine to help maintain nitrogen balance in your body.

The ingredients in Arthmender comprise a Proprietary Blend that goes to work directly on the entire musculoskeletal system with positive impact on inflammation, healing, and long-term joint health. Simply take one Arthmender capsule two times per day to maintain and intensify these effects on your body over time.

Your Joint Physiology

At birth you have over 300 bones.  As you grow, some bones fuse together and you are left with 206 bones as an adult.  The place where two bones meet is called a joint.  There are over 100 different types of joint but they are generally categorized by the amount of movement which they allow.  Some joints move and others don't.  You have over 230 moveable and semi-movable joints in your body.

Fixed or Fibrous joints are fixed in place and allow no observable movement.  Your skull has some of these joints called sutures which close up the bones of the skull.  An example is the parieto-temporal suture which runs along the side of the skull.

Slightly movable (Cartilaginous) joints allow some slight movement.  The ends of bones, which are covered in articular or hyaline cartilage, are separated by pads of white fibrocartilage and slight movement is made possible only because the pads of cartilage compress.  In addition, the pads of cartilage act as shock absorbers.  The intervertebral discs are examples of this type of joint.

Freely movable (Synovial) joints are the ones that allow you to twist, bend, and move different parts of your body.  It is the most common type of joint in the body.  There types of joint are categorized according to the movement they make possible:

• Ball & Socket (shoulders & hips)
• Hinge (knee)
• Saddle (thumb)
• Ellipsoid (wrist)
• Gliding (tarsals / metatarsals - cluster of bones making up the foot)
• Pivot (neck)

Joint Inflammation & Arthritis

Joint inflammation is the literal meaning of arthritis (arth = joint, ritis = inflammation).  Normally, inflammation is the way the body responds to an injury or to the presence of disease agents, such as viruses or bacteria.  During this reaction, many cells of the body's defense system (called the immune system) rush to the injured area to wipe out the cause of the problem, clean up damaged cells, and repair tissues that have been hurt.  Once the "battle" is won, inflammation normally goes away and the area becomes healthy again.

In many forms of arthritis, the inflammation does not go away as it should.  Instead, it becomes part of the problem, continually damaging healthy tissues and engendering a long-term cycle of more inflammation and more damage.  The damage that occurs can change the bones and other tissues of the joints, sometimes affecting their shape and making movement hard and painful.  Diseases in which the immune system malfunctions and attacks healthy parts of the body are called autoimmune diseases.

There are over 100 kinds of arthritis that can affect many different areas of the body.  In addition to the joints, some forms of arthritis are associated with diseases of other tissues and organs in the body.  People of all ages, including children and young adults, can develop arthritis.

It has been estimated that as many as 70,000,000 Americans (about 1 in 3) have some form of arthritis or joint pain.  Currently there are 46,000,000 (more than 21%) living with arthritis in the United States.  By 2030, health officials are estimating that 67,000,000 adults will have arthritis in the United States along with 294,000 children.  Prevalence extrapolations based on U.S. statistics indicate that over 795,000,000 people suffer from arthritis worldwide. 

Some of the more common types include:

• Osteoarthritis - This is the most common type of arthritis.  Osteoarthritis results from overuse of joints.  It can be the consequence of demanding sports, obesity, or aging.  It occurs when the cartilage covering the end of the bones gradually wears away. Without the protection of the cartilage, the bones begin to rub against each other and the resulting friction leads to pain and swelling.  Osteoarthritis can occur in any joint, but most often affects the hands and weight-bearing joints such as the knee, hip and facet joints (in the spine).  It often strikes early in life with athletes or those who suffered an injury in young adulthood.  Osteoarthritis in the hands is frequently inherited and often happens in middle-aged women.  Since osteoarthritis often occurs as the cartilage breaks down, or degenerates, with age, it is sometimes called degenerative joint disease.  27 million adults in the United States suffer from osteoarthritis.  It can also co-exist with Gout and Rheumatoid Arthritis.




• Gout - This is a painful condition that occurs when the body cannot eliminate a natural substance called uric acid.  The excess uric acid forms needle-like crystals in the joints that cause swelling and severe pain.  Gout most often affects the big toe, knee and wrist joints.  IT most commonly affects men between the ages of 40 and 50, people who are overweight, peopel who frequently drink alcohol, and people who use diuretics to lower blood pressure or treat heart failure.  Over 6,000,000 Americans have been diagnosed with gout and it currently affects about 2,000,000.
  
  
  
  
  


• Rheumatoid Arthritis - This is a long-lasting disease that can affect joints in any part of the body but most commonly the hands, wrists, and knees.  With rheumatoid arthritis, some of your body's cells recognize a protein as a foreign intruder.  The exact protein involved in rheumatoid arthritis has not yet been discovered. Some experts believe the immune system becomes "confused" after infection with a bacteria or virus and begins attacking the normal joint tissues.  Immune cells called lymphocytes are stimulated to react to this protein.  The reaction causes the release of cytokines, which are chemical messengers that trigger more inflammation and destruction. This battle between the body's chemicals occurs mainly in the joints and causes the joint lining to swell.  The inflammation then spreads to the surrounding tissues, and can eventually damage cartilage and bone.  In more severe cases, rheumatoid arthritis can affect other areas of the body, such as the skin, eyes, and nerves.  1.3 million adults suffer from rheumatoid arthritis in the USA.

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of arthritis requires a pattern of symptoms and test results to pinpoint the type of arthritis present.  Your doctor will first perform a physical examination to identify visible signs and symptoms that indicate arthritis.  If there are relevant symptoms, then the following blood tests are used to collect more evidence:

• Rhumatoid Factor - this is an antibody or immunoglobulin which is present in 70 to 80% of adults who have rheumatoid arthritis.


• Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) - is also known as sedimentation rate or sedrate.  The test is an indicator of the presence of nonspecific inflammation.


• C-reactive Protein (CRP) - this is a protein which is produced by the liver following tissue injury. Plasma levels of CRP increase quickly following periods of acute inflammation or infection, making this test a better indicator of disease activity than the sedrate which changes more gradually.


• Anti-cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Test (anti-CCP) - this is a blood test which has become more commonly used and is ordered if rheumatoid arthritis is suspected. Moderate to high levels of anti-CCP in a patient’s blood confirm the diagnosis in someone who is felt clinically to have rheumatoid arthritis. The test is more specific than rheumatoid factor.


• Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) - these are abnormal autoantibodies (immunoglobulins against nuclear components of the human cell).  The test is based on indirect immunofluorescence.  Moderate to high antinuclear antibody levels are suggestive of autoimmune disease. P ositive antinuclear antibody tests are seen in more than 95 percent of systemic lupus erythematosus patients, 60 to 80 percent of scleroderma patients, 40 to 70 percent of patients with Sjogren’s syndrome, and 30 to 50 percent of rheumatoid arthritis patients, among others.


• Complete Blood Count - The complete blood count determines the WBC (white blood cell count), RBC (red blood cell count), hemoglobin, hematocrit, several red blood cell indices and the platelet count.  Elevated white blood cell counts suggest the possibility of an active infection.  Patients taking corticosteroids may have an elevated WBC due to the medication.  Chronic inflammation can cause a low red blood cell count.  Low hemoglobin and hematocrit may be indicative of anemia associated with chronic diseases or possible bleeding caused by medications.  The platelet count is often high in rheumatoid arthritis patients, while some potent arthritis medications can cause platelets to be low.


• HLA Tissue Typing - Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) are proteins on the surface of cells.  Specific HLA proteins are genetic markers for some of the rheumatic diseases. P atients may be tested to see if they have the genetic markers.  HLA-B27 has been associated with ankylosing spondylitis and other spondyloarthropathies.  Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with HLA-DR4.


• Uric Acid - High levels of uric acid in the blood (known as hyperuricemia) can cause crystals to form which are deposited in the joints and tissues, causing painful gout attacks.  Uric acid is the final product of purine metabolism in humans.
  

Commonly prescribed medications are Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs - Ridaura, Imuran, Sandimmune, Neoral, Myochrysine, Plaquenil, Arava, Rheumatrex, Trexall), Biologic Response Modifiers (Orencia, Humira, Kineret, Enbrel, Remicade, Rituxan, Simponi), Glucocorticoids (Celestone, Deltasone, Meticorten, Orasone), Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Medications (NSAIDs - Celebrex, Voltaren, Ecotrin, Relafen, Naprosyn, Colchicine, Motrin, Advil), Analgesics (Tylenol, Faverall, Tempra, Ultram, OxyContin, Roxicodone) and Corticosteriod / Steroid Injections. The most common drug for preventing Gout attacks is Allopurinol which decreases production of uric acid in the body.

The combined COMMON side effects of these drugs include abdominal pain, absence of menstrual periods, acne, agitation, anxiety , back pain, bronchitis, burning sensation, clumsiness, confusion, constipation, cough, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry skin, gas, general unwell feeling , hair loss, headache, heartburn, increased hair growth, indigestion, inflammation of the eye, mouth or skin, joint disorder, loose stools, mild nausea or vomiting, mild stomach pain, mild tiredness or weakness, nausea, ringing in the ears, runny nose, sinus infection, sleeplessness, stomach upset, stuffy nose, texture change in nails, tremor, twitching, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, vomiting, weakness, and weight loss.

The goal of Osteoarthritis treatment is to provide pain relief and increase joint mobility and strength. Treatment options include medication, exercise, heat/cold compresses, use of joint protection and surgery. Types of surgery include Arthrodesis (fusion of joints), Arthroscopy (replacement with artificial joints), Total Knee Replacement, and Total Hip Replacement. Your treatment plan may involve more than one of these options.

Recommendations
You can optimize your long-term joint health by:

1) Reversing Damage - Years of stressful living caused damage to your body. To help reverse this, Arthmender releases hundreds of phytonutrients that act at the molecular level to restore joint suppleness and flexibility by reducing inflammation and pain, eliminating toxins, curtailing free radical activity, counteracting autoimmunity, improving circulation, supporting cell production and repair, shrinking inflamed tissues, preventing excessive blood clotting, lubricating and smoothing joint structures, improving calcium absorption, and relaxing and toning muscles.

2) Increasing Omega-3 Intake - Omega-3 essential fatty acids can dramatically reduce inflammation. Increase your intake of Omega-3 with fish oil, ground flax seed, minimal-mercury tuna, wild-caught salmon, and sprouted walnuts.

3) Decreasing Omega-6 Intake - Omega-6 essential fatty acids can increase inflammation. Decrease your intake of polyunsaturated oils in your diet that contain Omega-6 such as sunflower, safflower, soybean, and corn oils.

4) Increasing Monounsatured Fats Intake - Olive oil is a healthy monounsaturated oil that is used in the Mediterranean diet (a diet praised for its anti-inflammatory effects on the body). Monounsaturated fats can also be found in raw almonds, cashews, and avocados.

5) Increasing Fiber Consumption - A low-fiber diet can contribute to systemic inflammation. Liberally add ground flax seed (which is also high in omega-3 fatty acids) to many of your favorite recipes, smoothies, shakes, and salads. Also try coconut flour which is 58% fiber!

6) Eating Fruits Rich in Vitamin C - These fruits help relieve inflammation. Choose blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, kiwi fruit, peaches, mango, cantaloupe melon, and anti-inflammatory fruits like apples. However, try to moderate your intake of citrus fruits that may be too acidic and irritating, such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruit.

7) Eating Fresh Produce High in Carotenoids - Carotenoids are found in yellow and orange fruits and vegetables. A British study at the University of Manchester Medical School showed that subjects who ate a diet high in dietary carotenoids dramatically reduced their risk of inflammatory arthritis. Carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, and cantaloupe are some examples of foods that contain carotenoids.

8) Eating Superfoods Rich in Antioxidants - When you’re at the supermarket, just remember this rule of thumb: the deeper and richer the color of the fruit or vegetable, the more antioxidant power it has. Choose the most colorful fruits and vegetables in the produce aisle to benefit from powerful antioxidants. Vibrant choices include blueberries, red grapes, mangos, pomegranate, dark green leafy vegetables (such as spinach), brussels sprouts, red cabbage, broccoli, sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash.

9) Increasing Calcium and Vitamin D Intake - If you suffer from arthritis, you may suffer from coexisting bone conditions as well. In order to protect your bones, choose foods that are naturally high in calcium such as mustard greens, broccoli, spinach, collard greens, and turnip greens. Foods rich in vitamin D include mercury-minimal tuna, sunflower seeds, and wild-caught salmon. Also, moderate exposure to sunlight increases vitamin D production, which helps the body absorb calcium.

10) Adding Anti-Inflammatory Spices - Herbs like turmeric, ginger, and garlic have powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that naturally help boost the immune system.

11) Choosing Low Gycemic Index Carbohydrates - Complex carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index such as brown rice, raw apples, and winter squash. Avoid simple or refined carbohydrates (sugar, white bread, pasta, cookies, cakes, crackers) which are inflammatory.

12) Moderating Alcohol Consumption - Use moderation and preferably choose wine, which has anti-inflammatory properties.

13) Exercising and Losing Weight - While it may sound painful to exercise with arthritis, there are techniques that you can use to keep yourself flexible. According to the National Institutes of Health, there are three types of exercise that are best suited for people with arthritis: Range-of-motion exercises help maintain normal joint movement and relieve stiffness. Strengthening exercises (weight training) help keep or increase muscle strength. Strong muscles help support and protect joints affected by arthritis. Aerobic or endurance exercises (bicycle riding, swimming) improve cardiovascular fitness, help control weight, and improve overall function. Weight control can be important to people who have arthritis because extra weight puts extra pressure on many joints. Some studies show that aerobic exercise can reduce inflammation in some joints. Your healthcare professional may recommend physical therapy to help create a low-impact exercise plan that is tailored for your level of physical ability. The focus of physical therapy should be to protect the joints, while increasing strength, flexibility, and range of motion.

14) Stop Smoking - Cigarettes contain many chemicals that increase inflammation, and greatly aggravate chronic conditions.
