Treating Osteoarthritis

Although I do think that mineral depletion does play a role in osteoarthiritis there are other concerns. Arthritis in general is an inflammation due to often times unknown factors.

1. It can be caused by stress and over use.
2. It can be caused by a microbial invasion to the cartilage and other joint tissues.
3. It can be caused by an inflammatory response that for some reason cannot turn off.

In order to heal these joints the first thing that needs to be done is to eliminate inflammation. If inflammation is present it is very difficult for other joint tissues to regenerate. CMO (cetylmyristoleate) is a fatty acid ester made from sperm whale oil. It is highly effective in reducing and most often at eliminating inflammation in joints. When this is done the nutrients of glucosamine and condroitin can do a more effective job in rebuilding tissue.

CMO may require one to three months of therapy. Some people will respond very quickly, in just a week or two, then a few others may require treatment up to 6 months but this is quite unusual. CMO is perfectly safe and will not hurt you in any way even with extended use. You will know if it is working in the first month, This site will provide extensive CMO details.

For CMO with the product name of Inflameze purchase it here. About $15.00

This is also a good place to purchase trace minerals also and they should be taken with any osteoarthritis and osteoporosis protocol.

For joint reconstruction with glucosamine and condrointin:

If there is no cartilage left at all I just don't know if any program will work.

When I first heard about glucosamine it was on a news report way back in the '90's sometime. It was about a pro basketball player who destroyed his knee cartilage. After treatment with glucosamine the docs said that his knees were better than ever.

I suspect that these treatments will work better on the young than the old who have such severe damage. What would be the difference? Lots of human growth hormone circulating.

Reach for Life no longer carries CMO in the product Inflameze, but be my guest and call them up and yell at them for it! I have and they deserve it!

Dr Donsbach, who developed Inflameze is no longer with that company. But he does sell a product at Dr. Donsbach's Let's Talk Health | Premiere Nutritional Support Supplements that has cmo in it, mixed up with herbs etc. I would only assume that it is a good product. He has done much to stake his reputation on helping those with all kinds of arthritis.
