Arthritis

Most people are familiar with arthritis, but they may not realize there are different types, with the two most common being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. As explained by the Mayo Clinic, “Osteoarthritis causes cartilage—the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a joint—to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of the joints.” Though different types of arthritis, the symptoms are the same: joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and redness. People who have arthritis also tend to have a limited range of motion in the affected joints.

There’s no doubt that living with arthritis puts a strain on your day-to-day life. The best way to combat the symptoms of arthritis is to reduce the amount of inflammation in the body. Most healthcare professionals recommend making dietary changes to reduce inflammation. That means incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like broccoli and turmeric in your diet. However, research has shown there is another way to reduce or eliminate arthritis symptoms—flax hull lignans.

Jocelyn Mathern, a registered dietician and member of the Flax Lignan Information Bureau Advisory Board,said in a recent article that flaxseed has been utilized since 500 B.C. when Hippocrates ate and wrote about the plant. While flax has been around for centuries and is known to have excellent health benefits, more extensive research has only recently begun to be conducted. These scientific studies have shown that lignans, found in the hull of flaxseed, are especially helpful in fighting arthritis symptoms and improving general health.

Flax is rich in omega-3 fatty acid ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), which is an anti-inflammatory known to lessen the pain of arthritis significantly. In order to fully absorb the ALA, experts recommend that flaxseed be ingested in crushed, milled, or oil form. To maximize its health benefits, original flax hull lignans are derived directly from organic flaxseed.

Before starting the Flax Hull Lignans, I would have a bad cough and would throw up stuff that I think was from my sinuses draining during the night. I used to get bad headaches from sinus pressure also. Now I don’t cough as much in the morning and hardly ever seem to throw up. The sinus headaches are not as frequent now. I also seem to have a “better feeling” overall.

I have noticed a slight improvement in joint pain since I have been taking the Flax Hull Lignans. I have had arthritis for years. Also, I seem to be sleeping better at night. I take a sleeping aid at bed time yet I still have some trouble sleeping

Yes, I am delighted to be able to report the changes we have experienced by using the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. My husband and I are in our fifties, and are starting to show a little wear and tear from fifty years of living, so this is the time when we are looking everywhere for natural ways to prevent any serious problems before they strike. (We don’t resort to Western medicine because we feel it is often more life-threatening than the diseases)...
