Product Description: Inflammation - fire within our tissues - is the body's first defense against infection. But inflammation can also run like a wildfire out of control, and chronic inflammation can lead to life-threatening conditions: heart attack, cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes. Get a Grip on Arthritis and Other Inflammatory Disorders provides natural relief for the pain, swelling and destruction that inflammation causes in the body.
Why is 'natural relief' so important? Conventional pain and anti-inflammatory medications have serious side effects, including bleeding ulcers, digestive complaints and joint destruction. Within these pages you will discover what combinations of foods, vitamins, minerals, herbs and other supplements will prevent further damage, treat your existing condition and heal damaged tissues - all while relieving the pain associated with inflammation. Discover Mother Nature's potent painkillers and natural anti-inflammatories.
