Chances are that you or someone close to you suffers from arthritis of the knee. They are hoping to find some relief from the symptoms of chronic knee pain and its cruel progression to a crippling state.
Today’s choices are painful surgery with high risk factors and high percentages of failure. Physicians prescribe medications with high risk factors such as Vioxx. Vioxx was removed from the market but
present medications have similar warnings. Warnings that were just increased by the FDA.

The western belief that all things medical can be quickly addressed with surgery or medicine is not the best choice as a first measure for arthritis of the knee. Reliable information about Natural cures for arthritis is difficult to find, but can be as simple as an effective form of weight loss, a reasonable form of exercise to strengthen the tissues in the knee and dietary supplements.
The most common form of arthritis is Osteoarthritis, which causes a slow deterioration of the cartilage on the tip of each bone. Then the bones start rubbing against each other limiting movement and causing pain as scar tissue grows and deforms the joint.
Chondroitin and Glucosamine can be taken to extend the time before surgery. Some manufactures produce combination products that include Chondroitin, glucosamine along with other ingredients. Other dietary supplements can be as simple as eating Alfalfa or taking alfalfa capsules. Alfalfa is very rich in minerals needed for the formation of bones. Green Tea has been mentioned as another source of aid in the battle against Arthritis. Grape extract has been shown to work in reducing swelling and the joint pain that come from swelling in the joints. One of the newer items available is NatrolHyaluronic Acid w/Chondroitin and is available from Swanson along with over 1,000 products at very reasonable prices.
