OSTEOARTHRITIS

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, especially among older people. Sometimes it is called degenerative joint disease or osteoarthrosis. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that mostly affects the cartilage. Cartilage is the slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint.Healthy cartilage allows bones to glide over one another. It also absorbs energy from the shock of physical movement. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage break down and wears away. This allows bones under the cartilage to rub together, causing pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint. Over time, the joint may lose its normal shape. Also, bone spurs--small growths called osteophytes--may grow on the edges of the joint. Bits of bone or cartilage can break off and float inside the joint space. This causes more pain and damage.

Some younger people get osteoarthritis from joint injuries,but osteoarthritis most often occurs in older people. In fact, more than half of the population age 65 or older would show x-ray evidence of osteoarthritis in at least one joint. Both men and women have the disease. Before age 45, more men than women have osteoarthritis, whereas after age 45, it is more common in women.

WHAT IS GLUCOSAMINE?

THE PAINFUL RED EYE ---> CONJUNCTIVITIS

Almost one week, many friends and their family infected with `RED EYE' which is highly contagious.

The term conjunctivitis implies inflammation of the conjunctiva which is a transparent surface covering the white of the eye. It can become inflamed due to infection,allergy or irritation.

Both bacteria and viruses can cause conjunctivitis. The symptoms are that of a painful gritty sensation and a discharge. The discharge is sticky and purulent in bacterial infections and more watery in viral. It nearly always affects both eyes.

Infected conjunctivitis is treated with antibiotic eye drops and ointment. Both bacterial and viral infections are treated in the same way. In viral infections, the drops will prevent secondary infection.Quite often it is difficult for the doctor to differentiate between the 2 types of infection, and it is safer to assume that it is bacterial

Once infected, the eyelids should be gently bathed with tap water and a clean washcloth to keep them clean and free of discharge.A person should wash the hands after bathing the eye or applying medication to it. Beside this, a person should be careful not to touch the infected eye and then touch the other eye. Towels and washcloths used to clean the eye should be kept separate from other towels and washcloths!!!

WONDERFUL PRODUCTS FOR ALLERGY RHINITIS

That's some of the products which i tried and beneficial to me ,a)pristine omega 3 fish oil, b)cryptomonadales tablet, c)zinc tab.,d)bee propolis. I suffered from allergy rhinitis 20 years ago,initially there was mild until age 22,after that i realized that the main culprit is dust mite.But there is no way for me to avoid dust especially in country like Malaysia.What i could do is to take antihistamine e.g. loratadine, chlorpheniramine,cetrizine etc + steroidal nasal spray. I had been taking it for 3 years when necessary.Nevertheless i had to go for surgical treatment to relief nasal passage blockace and to remove deviated septum. The story not yet end till year 2000, ENT specialist told me i need to do another operation. At that time......i was very frustated. Luckily i met one natural supplement which is cryptomonadales.
