DEGENERATIVE DISEASE

Because of improved sanitation and allopathic medicines over the past 100 years, acute infectious disease and illnesses, like polio, diphtheria,  Whooping cough and smallpox, have almost become a thing of the past. Degenerative diseases, however, have been steadily increasing over the last hundred years. Treatment of chronic disease accounts for over 85% of health care expenses. Degenerative diseases are now our first, second, third and fourth leading causes of death. Disease, like coronary heart disease and Alzheimer’s, were virtually unknown in 1900. Today, they are major health issues. Over 2,700 Americans are killed by heart disease every day (two people per minute) and 1,000 Americans are permanently disabled daily. The five most prevalent diseases today are all degenerative: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity and osteoporosis. About 15% of the World’s population suffers from osteoarthritis. Degenerative disease takes years to develop and is slow to show its effects. The best form of treatment is preventative heath care.

DID YOU KNOW…? THERE ARE OVER 100 TYPES OF  ARTHRITIS, INCLUDING OSTEOARTHRITIS, LUPUS, GOUT AND FIBROMYALGIA. DIFFERENT TYPES OF ARTHRITIS HAVE DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS WHICH VARY IN SEVERITY FROM PERSON TO PERSON. THE WORD "ARTHRITIS" ACTUALLY MEANS "JOINT INFLAMMATION," WHICH IS ONE OF THE BODY'S NATURAL REACTIONS TO DISEASE OR INJURY. IT CAN INCLUDE SWELLING, STIFFNESS, TENDERNESS AND PAIN. WHEN INFLAMMATION RECURS OR LASTS FOR A LONG TIME, AS WITH ARTHRITIS, IT LEADS TO TISSUE DAMAGE. OTHER SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE: FATIGUE, REDNESS, WARMTH, FEVER OR RASH.

“I don't deserve this award… but I have arthritis and I don't deserve that either!”

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, or NSAIDs, are painkillers that have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. They are used to alleviate the pain of inflammation, swelling and stiffness. Many people with arthritis use NSAIDs, and most have taken some type of NSAID in their life. Recent studies show people who take NSAIDs (other than aspirin) have a higher risk of stomach ulceration, heart attack and stroke. These problems can develop any time, may happen without warning symptoms, and can cause death. The risk is higher for those who take NSAIDs for a long period of time, are older in age, have poor health, or who drink alcoholic daily.

“When an elderly woman was asked why she was standing in line to buy stamps from a teller when she could have used a stamp machine she replied: The machine won't ask me about my arthritis!”

BASED ON ACCUMULATED EVIDENCE THAT NSAIDS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ASPIRIN, INCREASE RISK FOR HEART ATTACK AND STROKE, DOCTORS SHOULD CHANGE THE WAY THEY PRESCRIBE PAIN RELIEVERS FOR CHRONIC PAIN IN PATIENTS WITH OR AT RISK FOR HEART DISEASE. ~American Heart Association

"WE BELIEVE THAT SOME PHYSICIANS HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBING THE NEW COX-2 INHIBITORS (NSAIDS SUCH AS CELEBREX) AS THE FIRST LINE OF TREATMENT. WE ARE TURNING THAT AROUND AND SAYING THAT, FOR CHRONIC PAIN IN PATIENTS WITH KNOWN HEART DISEASE OR WHO ARE AT RISK FOR HEART DISEASE, THESE DRUGS SHOULD BE THE LAST LINE OF TREATMENT." ~E Antman, MD, Professor of Medicine, Harvard

"If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven't been born yet." ~Neil Simon

BY DR. BILL KELLAS, AUTHOR OF THRIVING IN A TOXIC WORLD

Most doctors help patients temporarily feel better by using symptom-suppressing health care methods. This is like disconnecting the “idiot light” on your car’s dashboard rather than fixing the problem that caused the light to turn on in the first place. We need to get to the root cause of the problem in order to foster healing.

There is an old parable told about the blind men and the elephant. Each of the men felt only one part of the elephant and yet each was completely convinced that they knew what the whole elephant was like. Since each of the men focused on only one part of the elephant, without realizing that it was part of a whole, they were all very much mistaken in their evaluation of what an elephant actually is.

It has been said that the definition of “insanity” is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. Isn’t it time for a new approach to health?  A comprehensive

integrated approach to health care is a re-thinking of the entire health process. It is integrating the best of both worlds, as well as other therapies, in a comprehensive plan based on healing that starts with the root cause. Re-examine your health in a NEW way to achieve optimum health!

“The immune system is the most important system in the body! It is central to your health and wellbeing because it affects every other part of the body. The healthier the immune system, the better the body will cope with the many allergens and toxic burdens it encounters. It is the defense force against invaders that cause disease and death!” ~Dr. William Kellas, Ph.D.

"Today, with the ever-increasing publicity given to the AIDS scare, people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of the immune system in maintaining health. The immune system is involved, not only with AIDS, but with bacterial and viral infections, allergies, candidiasis, chronic Epstein-Barr syndrome, cancer, arthritis and virtually every other disease affecting humans. A healthy immune system should protect us from these diseases." ~Dr. S. Kuprowski, Naturopathic Physician

Nothing motivates us more than to find a solution for an aching body!

What Discomfort? As a young mother in my 20’s, I enjoy a very active lifestyle. However, I recently began experiencing severe stiffness and pain in my elbow.  Every time I picked up my ten-month old daughter I would cringe with pain. A few days after I started taking Natural Pain Relief I noticed less stiffness and pain. After ten days someone asked me how my elbow was and I realized that I was no longer in pain! It really works! I will always take Natural Pain Relief so I can safely enjoy the simple things in life like carrying my daughter and throwing a ball for my Labrador Retrievers. ~Shannon L., Alaska

Gout Disappears! The pain from my gout was so intense, I could hardly walk. I had to wear my house shoes to work! I started taking Natural Pain Relief a few days after my doctor wrote me a prescription that was going to cost $540.00! I took three Natural Pain Relief capsules each day and began to notice some relief. By the fifth day I could wear my shoes and my limp was almost gone. By the next day I was pain free! ~Harold M., Texas

No Longer a Problem! The pain in my thighs, knees and ankles was so bad that I could only go up and down stairs one at a time. After two weeks of taking Natural Pain Relief I can finally walk up and down the stairs like a normal person! Natural Pain Relief worked very well!! ~Carol A., Pennsylvania

Finally After 20 Years! The only thing that exceeds my love for dance is teaching dance to my students. However, for twenty years I have suffered from an unusual discomfort in my left foot that hurts every time I bend it. Nothing has helped. Imagine my joy, when after only six days of taking Natural Pain Relief the pain was gone! In fact, I don’t feel any pain in my body…even the stiffness in my knees is gone. What a miracle! ~Marlene S., Georgia

Kre-Celazine® is a natural “non-drug” ingredient that has been scientifically proven to reduce pain and promote joint health by improving flexibility and mobility through the reduction of inflammation. It is made by bonding another patented ingredient, Kre-Alkalyn®, with esterified fatty acid carbons. Here are the main benefits of Kre-Celazine:
• Proper maintenance of cell membranes is vital for good health. Things like water, medicine and minerals need to get through the membranes for necessary bodily functions to occur (i.e. “life”). Kre-Celazine provides lipids necessary for maintaining the integrity of the membranes allowing the cell to remain stable and not be inflamed by outside agents. The result is a reduction in the inflammation seen in so many diseases, including arthritis.
• Kre-Celazine helps to suppress an inflammatory cell’s function and slows the breakdown of cartilage.
• This unique ingredient reduces cellular damage and inflammation to muscles caused by intense exercise. This is done by increasing creatine phosphate which helps restore the depleted adenosine triphosphate (ATP) fuel used by muscles.
• Kre-Celazine helps the body maintain an optimal pH balance. We eat and drink too many things that are acidic. Several things occur when we are acidic, none of which are good. Many nutritionists believe acidic levels can lead to side effects such as depression, complications with the gastro-intestinal tract, inflammation and more.

FruiteX-B® is another patented ingredient in our Natural Pain Relief. It is a calcium-boron carbohydrate molecule found in fruits, nuts, legumes and vegetables. Boron is a trace element considered by scientists to be essential for maintenance of healthy levels of serum calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, DHEA, and testosterone. We usually get the daily amounts of boron we need through the plants we eat, but if we don’t eat enough fresh fruits and vegetables, that have been grown in boron rich soil, then we are probably lacking in this vital nutrient. FruiteX-B® is superior to other boron sources because it is the world’s only food-form source of boron, making it safe, stable, and water-soluble. It has been shown to be absorbed into the blood stream intact which helps account for its effectiveness in various human studies. These studies support the following structure function claims for FruiteX-B®:
• Helps maintain healthy levels of testosterone and estrogen
• Helps maintain joint comfort and flexibility
• Supports healthy vitamin D metabolism
• Supports healthy calcium metabolism
• Promotes healthy bones and joints
• Promotes healthy aging

Enzyrest® is the third ingredient in Natural Pain Relief. It is a proprietary formulation which works naturally to suppress enzymes that lead to inflammation. Enzyrest is a combination of three unique herbs: Turmeric Root Extract, Rosemary Leaf Extract, and Indian Frankincense. It’s important to remember that all inflammatory situations in the body constantly release free radicals into the system, making it vitally important to provide sufficient antioxidants. Turmeric root and rosemary leaf contain high amounts of antioxidants which counteract the inflammation.
• Turmeric Root Extract, by far the main component in Enzyrest, is a super antioxidant that, according to studies, also helps fight inflammation related to arthritis.
• Rosemary Leaf Extract, another antioxidant, has also been shown to have “therapeutic potential” in treating and preventing bronchial asthma, inflammatory diseases and arthrosclerosis.
• Indian Frankincense, also known as Boswellia, has specific active anti-inflammatory ingredients which inhibit inflammation by blocking the synthesis of leukotrienes, which cause inflammation. It contains compounds that suppress the pro-inflammatory cytokines.
