Darlene’s Recipe to Recovery from Arthritis
by Shop Talk Notes on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 8:21pm
It was 5 years ago this past March when I was finally diagnosed with End Stages Osteoarthritis in every vertebrae in my back. I had developed spurs and calcifications that impeded my entire right side. I had only 15% use of my right arm and 40% of my right leg. The prognosis…ambulatory products..walker or wheelchair within 3-5 years.
I sat and cried as most would do for a couple of days…oh boo hoo and then decided to get to work on my body…….this condition crept up on me and became full blown manifest after a really bad fall and I assumed I had injured the roto-cuff in my shoulder…wrong…injury causes the body sometimes to speed up the degeneration which was already going on….here is what I did.
Clear Start….Paraway..Lifiber and tea
6 CM Plex Capsules……3 with breakfast…3 with dinner
MSM………………………..4 with each meal
Osteo Essentials………..4 with breakfast 4 with dinner
Bonemate…………………4 with breakfast 4 with dinner
White Oak Plus………….6 capsules with 1 tsp of Calcium Magnesium Chelate every 3-4 hours for pain
I did this regime for an entire 8 weeks before pain was completely gone and mobility began to return. Then I removed 1 capsule at a time for a day or so and then moved down slowly over the next 2 months until I was taking 1/2 of the amounts listed…
I also began walking regularly.
Dietarily, I removed…potatoes, green peppers, red peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, refined sugar and all white flour products as well as caffeine from my diet. I never ate egg plant..or I would have removed it too. I never drank sodas or pop or that would have been gone also.
I was changing practitioners this fall and had an entire work-up done on my back and joints…..here is the results….no joints in legs, hips, arms, or hands affected at this time with arthritis….my vertebrae show in my back as early stages…stage 2 arthritis. I have not had any pain in years from the arthritis and now have a full regime with a personal trainer at a gym…..I am in my late 50s and enjoy better health vitality, strength and flexibility than I have in 25 years at least.

White Oak Complex…..My Hero Product….in Canada only
by Shop Talk Notes on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 7:25pm
White oak bark, black walnut hulls, queen of the meadow leaf, marshmallow root and mullein leaf in a gelatin capsule.
This combination of herbs work synergistically together to give the body essential elements that aid in the healing and strengthening of bones, muscles and cartilage.
It has been found to speed healing of bruises, help relieve sore joints and muscles due to injury or arthritic symptoms, strengthen connective tissue and reduce swelling.
It is also a powerful analgesic and pain reducer for irritable bowel syndrome, crohns, and colitis. It also has anti-fungal properties and may be beneficial for some forms of Lupus.
When used with a Complex Calcium formula it is very effective in relieving any pain including headaches and migraine headaches. This powerful combination of Calcium Complex Formula and White Oak has been successfully used for post-surgical pain therapy and therapy for injury due to accidents.
Note: This is important….I personally have used this for Post surgical pain management since I am hyper-sensitive to prescription and over the counter pain medication and have been my entire life. Many people have used this product in circumstances that required pain medication such as morphine to replace this prescription successfully. Using this product with Calcium Magnesium Chelate, is non-addictive, and very effective without any side-effects……I use it always this way……if you change the dosage of white oak you will not get the same results…..6 White Oak Plus Capsules with 1-2 tsp of Calcium Magnesium Chelate dissolved in water. You may take this dosage every 3-4 hours for pain, or migraines. The only statement is you will have more bowel movements because of the magnesium..it will pass.

Glucosamine AJF™ ….. This One is Special….Everything You Need…Is In Here!
by Shop Talk Notes on Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 8:10pm
Glucosamine AJF™ (Advanced Joint Formula) is a special formulation of several natural ingredients that have been found to contribute to joint health. Glucosamine stimulates the body’s manufacture of collagen, the protein portion of the fibrous substance that holds joints together and provides shock-absorbing cushion. Chondroitin sulfate is synergistic with glucosamine. The combination is a popular and well-established nutritional formula that millions of people have found to be a beneficial addition to their supplement programs. Devil’s claw and shark cartilage extract have also been added. Glucosamine AJF is an exclusive formula and the perfect product to help nourish the skeletal system!*
It’s common practice to take for granted how the body accomplishes the demands we place on it until the day that extreme discomfort forces you to evaluate and measure each movement and position. As a person ages, the cartilage that cushions the joints often loses its ability to support healthy cellular growth. In addition, the synovial fluid which lubricates these joints also deteriorates. This condition, called osteoarthritis, often leads to rough bones that rub together and cause distress with every twist or bend. Over time, the only option you have is to use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These preparations may cause side effects like slowing down the body’s rate of cartilage replacement and actually destroying cartilage.
Other side effects include: gastrointestinal tract damage, hemorrhaging, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), edema (fluid retention) and sometimes kidney and liver damage. After these products no longer are effective, you can choose to: 1) live with it or 2) undergo radical medical procedures like joint replacement surgery. This is where an orthopedic surgeon replaces your hip or knee with a metal one. The procedure is complicated and the recovery time extensive.
Research Brief
Moveable (synovial) joints in the skeletal system are characterized by the presence of a cushioning layer of cartilage on the ends of where the bones meet. This cartilage layer reduces the friction between the bones and allows for easier movement of the joint. Cartilage is a tough but resilient connective tissue that is constantly rebuilding to compensate for the mechanical stresses put on the joint. In addition, the joint is surrounded by tough layers of connective tissue that hold the joint together and also secrete a fluid that bathes the cartilage pads to reduce friction further. However, accumulated wear and tear on the joints results in the breakdown and thinning of the cartilage, causing pain, inflammation, and loss of motion.* Cartilage is composed of molecules known as proteoglycans, which are deposited within a matrix of collagen fibers. This complex traps water and helps give cartilage its flexibility, resiliency, and resistance to compression. Proteoglycans are a combination of protein and carbohydrate molecules. The most important of these is glucosamine, an amino-sugar. Higher levels of glucosamine within the cartilage-producing cells (chondrocytes) is critical for production of adequate amounts of proteoglycans. Chondroitin is another molecule that is involved in the production of proteoglycans.*
FAQs Q: What is the glucosamine in this product derived from? A: The glucosamine is derived from chitin.
Q: Will the glucosamine build up in my body?A: Glucosamine is water soluble, so it is eliminated daily.

Want to Beat Inflammation….
Want to Get Rid of Joint Pain and Swelling..CM Plex® Will Help!
Tens of millions of people suffer from joint problems and pain. Joint health is key to wellness. After all, it’s difficult to feel healthy when the very act of walking hurts! Keeping your joints strong, agile, and flexible is a priority for people wanting to live life to its fullest. When joints, which are made up of connective tissue, receive natural, effective support, the difference is amazing.
Now available as both a capsule and a cream, C.M. Plex™ supports joint health with a proprietary blend of cetyl myristate, cetyl myristoleate, and other cetyl esters. These compounds have been shown to help penetrate and hydrate the joints and increase mobility, encouraging a more active lifestyle.*
The cream and capsules work together synergistically.
The cream provides additional moisturizing benefits, while the capsules offer additional ingredients for internalized nutritional support. This is a highly non-greasy penetrating cream with a pleasant odor that is effective for pain relief on joints or muscles that may be sore because of arthritis or injury. It is also beneficial in reducing bruising from injury. It increases mobility of joints and muscles and reduces swelling. This product was also reported in the Journal of Rheumatology as has had double blind studies done showing it’s effectiveness.
This combination has been shown in double blind studies to reduce inflammation, pain and improve mobility in joints where rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis is present. The findings have been published in the Journal of Rheumatology with conclusive results of the benefits on these two conditions are present. Because of the anti-inflammatory action of this product other conditions that are inflammatory in natures will benefit. Inflammation occurs in the body as natural by-product of metabolic actions. When the body cannot detox the inflammation it builds up in all areas of the body and can cause degenerative diseases and pain. This product, it is important to note does not work effectively when the diet contains caffeine, sodas or high quantities of sugar. Sugar and Caffeine increase inflammation and swelling.
It has been shown to be effective in aiding people with conditions such as Fibromyalgia, gout, lupus, irritable bowel diseases and other inflammatory conditions such as injury or surgery.
Research Brief The word joint refers to any of the connections between the body’s more than 200 bones. Joints are classified into three categories according to structure and movability. Cartilaginous joints, in which cartilage joins the bones, can move slightly-for example, the joints connecting the vertebrae and pubic bones. Fibrous joints are immovable, such as the joints between skull segments. Most of the joints in the body are freely moving synovial joints, in which touching bone surfaces are covered by cartilage, connected with ligaments, and lined with synovial membrane. Synovial joints take several forms, including ball and socket, gliding, hinge, pivot, and saddle.
Millions of people lose joint mobility and flexibility at some point in their lives. These problems can prevent full participation in many of life’s daily activities. However, natural nutrients can deliver various benefits, including joint lubrication and smooth joint movement. Vitamin C is vital to the skin’s formation of healthy connective tissue in ligaments and bones. Several other natural supplements have captured significant attention recently as researchers and scientists attempt to find effective ingredients to support joint health.*
FAQs Q: Will C.M. Plex™ lose its effectiveness with continuous use? A: The bones and joints are active structures, constantly creating new tissue and breaking down old. A healthy, varied diet profoundly affects this ongoing process. As with any other component of our nutrition, C.M. Plex™ can assist the body at any and all adult stages in life.*
Q: Can C.M. Plex™ be used by pregnant women or nursing mothers?A: As with many other nutritional supplements, it is not recommended that a pregnant woman or nursing mother use C.M. Plex™.
Q: Has any human research been done on the ingredients contained in CM Plex™? A: Yes. In fact, a human clinical study, presented at a major scientific conference in April 2001, demonstrated remarkable effects.*
Q: What foods are sources of nutrients that support joint health? A: Foods high in vitamin C, such as several fruits and vegetables, are important because vitamin C is vital to the body’s development of connective tissue in ligaments, skin, bones, and blood vessels. The body cannot make its own vitamin C, so absorbing adequate amounts through diet and supplementation is crucial.*

Bonemate® Plus……Get The Best…and Leave the Rest! .
This one Really Counts for more than your Bones
by Shop Talk Notes on Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 8:05pm
For those wanting to strengthen their bones and provide a boost to their immune system, BoneMate® Plus provides calcium, vitamin D, and other ingredients needed for optimal health.*
PRODUCT INFORMATION
BoneMate® Plus is specially formulated to help maintain optimal bone health.* It contains three forms of calcium ( Phosphate, Citrate, Malate) and vitamin D to maximize absorption and aid in the support of healthy bones, teeth, nerves, heart, and muscle tissue.*
As we age, we cannot feel our bones getting weaker. As such, we may not know we have osteoporosis until a bone is fractured from a minor fall or some other common occurrence. Women are especially susceptible to bone mass loss in later years, and can lose up to 20 percent of bone mass after menopause.1 Approximately one in two women and one in four men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis related fracture in their remaining lifetime.1
To help prevent bone loss and strengthen the immune system, BoneMate® Plus contains the following ingredients:
Calcium – Calcium is a major structural element of calcified tissues like bone and teeth. Three different forms of calcium: dicalcium malate, tricalcium phosphate, and calcium citrate, help ensure that optimal amounts of calcium are absorbed by the body.*
Magnesium – An essential part of over 300 metabolic reactions, magnesium is necessary for energy production, synthesis of essential molecules, bone support, cell signaling and more.*2
Vitamin C – A vitamin essential to proper health, vitamin C is a water-soluble molecule that helps to protect eyesight,3 increase iron absorption,4 and strengthen collagen.*5
Vitamin D – Recent research has shown how important vitamin D supplementation is to good health.6,7 Unfortunately, many of us are not getting the amounts we need.* Surveys have found that 7.6 million American children are vitamin D deficient.8
Vitamin K – Vitamin K has been found to assist in the normal growth and development of bone tissue while preventing cartilage and soft tissue from being calcified.*9
Trace Minerals – BoneMate® Plus also contains the trace minerals boron, zinc, manganese, and copper.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Immunity Boost
While vitamin D is well known for its ability to enhance the absorption and effectiveness of calcium, very few people are aware of its ability to stimulate our immune system. Vitamin D research has discovered that vitamin D may stimulate and be an important part of a healthy immune system.*6,7,13,14
• • •
Calcium is essential for maintaining proper bone mass10 Copper has been shown to improve bone density in conjunction with calcium11,12 Vitamin D helps to increase the absorption and effectiveness of calcium. It may also play an important part in a healthy immune system*6,7,9,13,14,15
