Arthritis is a painful debilitating disease which consists of two types, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is known to be an auto immune disease where the actual immune system attacks it self, causing inflammation, swelling, and in advanced stages degeneration of joints. Whereas Osteoarthritis is a degeneration of the joints which is usually caused by impact from strenuous sport, weight gain and old age. In this type of arthritis first the actual cartilage is worn, if left untreated will advance to an extremely painful stage where the bone also becomes inflamed. Osteoarthritis can have very effective results by taking collagen supplements, while Rheumatoid is effective when using detox methods and natural anti-inflammatories. For Osteoarthritis, use COLLAGEN & SILICA this combination helps to re-build cartilage and eliminate pain. WARNING Do not use silica if you have a pace maker or had a knee replacement as silica expels foreign matter from the body!
