Arthritis and the role of Glutathione

Picture

Arthritis is a painful and debilitating condition characterised by inflammation of the joints. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, and is a degenerative condition related to aging. The cartilage that normally cushions our joints gets worn away as we age causing the bones to rub together, creating inflammation of the joint. 

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory immune disease that can strike at any age and is triggered when the body's own immune system starts to attack the joints and other tissues.

In contrast, the xray to the left shows a severe case of RA showing irregular bony growths and diminished joint spaces.


Inflammation is at the root of all disease

It is now known that cellular inflammation is at the root of most diseases, including arthritis. 

Glutathione is our body's most powerful natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecule. Created by every single cell, glutathione plays an important role in the immune system and has potent anti-inflammatory effects.

Scientists have discovered that people with arthritis have significantly reduced glutathione levels. 

Glutathione levels become depleted as we age


Unfortunately, our glutathione levels become rapidly depleted as we age, leading to a build up of free radicals and inflammation within our cells. To add to the problem, pain medications and other pharmaceutical drugs have the unfortunate side effect of further depleting our glutathione levels, creating a vicious circle. 

Glutathione reduces inflammation and strengthens the immune system

Glutathione deficiency allows oxidative damage to accelerate the progression of arthritic conditions. Glutathione supplementation can be of great benefit in treating these conditions.

The novel compound RiboCeine is a unique fusion of the amino acid cysteine with the simple saccharide ribose. It effectively delivers the essential precursor nutrients to the cells where they can then be turned into glutathione. RiboCeine has been shown to dramatically increase intracellular glutathione levels, and is the key ingredient in the supplement Cellgevity

For people suffering with arthritis, Cellgevity offers joint support and may provide a natural alternative to the unwanted side effects of strong anti-inflammatory drugs.

ARTICLE ON RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS- Rheumatoid Arthritis: New Discoveries Against Joint Pain and RA SymptomsIndividuals struggling with the pain and symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis, RA, will want to know about NEW medical discoveries that are helping many people to significantly reduce and even clear their SYMPTOMS, especially JOINT PAIN!- One of these discoveries is about BALANCING instead of SUPPRESSING the immune system with immune suppressant drugs -- and instead, how to CALM the immune and "bring it back into line" when it is "out of whack."- RA is considered to be an autoimmune disease, where the immune system is "over the top," and attacks the joints, which causes pain and dysfunction -- but there is more to it!                                  Why Balance, Not Suppress Your Immune System?- If you have Rheumatoid Arthritis, it is important that you know about the discovery that your immune can be both "UNDER-active" and "OVER-active" at the same time!

- In fact, scientists have reported that with RA there are both "OVER-active" B cells and "under-active" T cells.

- This means that ... the "OVER-activity" is "PICKING ON" the joints, causing inflammation and pain.

- On the other hand, the "UNDER-activity" represents a weakened ability to deal with "ANTIGENS," i.e. to "MOP UP" excess free radicals and "OXIDATIVE STRESS."

- This UNDER ACTIVITY also eventually results in tissue damage and increased inflammation and pain!
                                                     Best "Food for Your Immune?"- For healing your RA, you need to both STRENGTHEN the UNDERactive parts of your immune, as well as CALM the OVERactive immune responses.- Just using IMMUNE SUPPRESSANT DRUGS does not really solve the problem, because this only addresses 
one part of the equation.

- How to RE-BALANCE the immune to restore its natural SELF-REGULATING capacity? 
There is a NATURAL DISCOVERY, a protein that improves the body's glutathione levels.

      
                 GLUTATHIONE :   Why is it the key?- Scientific data is pointing to a molecule called Glutathione as being key to the regulation of the immune system -- both its ups AND its downs!- In fact...there are scientists who have demonstrated a clear IMPROVEMENT OF INFLAMMATION after raising glutathione in affected tissues.- Furthermore, this new discovery is noteworthy to people with Rheumatoid Arthritis now, because it has recently become known that glutathione levels are best raised with precursors such as GSH-IMMUNITY.                        Nutrition -- Not Just a Pill- Glutathione is a fragile protein which is destroyed in stomach juices, there for pills cannot  improve your body's glutathione levels.
Dr. Bounous' "Back To Nature" Discovery:

- It was Dr. Bounous at McGill University in Montreal, who, after two decades of research, "Ended up identifying the remarkable properties of some proteins that turned out to be the same as the three proteins in mothers’ breast milk.”
“It was a back-to-nature call,” according to Dr. Bounous.
- His discovery was -- the secret of nature to provide a cysteine-rich protein as the natural building block, or NUTRITIONAL precursor, to making glutathione.

- Anyone with Rheumatoid Arthritis OR ANY ARTHRITIS can benefit from this discovery by increasing their glutathione levels safely and naturally, with CYSTEINE-RICH protein to reduce inflammation and pain.

   
                         
   No Pain Killers Are Safe, Say Scientists
- Why use supplements to heal the body rather than rely on pain killers? A recent study shows that most prescription and over-the-counter painkillers increase the risk of heart attacks.  In the wake of the largest study to date showing most nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) -- including ibuprofen, naproxen, and Celebrex -- increase the risk of heart attacks in people with arthritis, experts are once again urging all involved to weigh their individual risks when choosing a painkiller.

- "This is a class effect of all the drugs," says researcher Gurkirpal Singh, MD, professor of medicine, 
immunology, and rheumatology at Stanford University Medical School about his study presented at the Annual 
European Congress of Rheumatology in Vienna, Austria.
