ROSEHIPS EASES ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS

A herbal supplement made from the seeds of rosehips(Rosa canina) can overcome severity of symptoms in people with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee and hip, according to a study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology.(2005:34:302-8).

OA, a degenerative disease common in older people, is characterized by progressive loss of cartilage in the joints and symptoms such as pain, stiffness and reduced mobility.

Rose hips are the bright red fruit of a wild rose bush, known for their high vitamin C and bioflavonoid content. Popularly used to prevent and treat colds and asthma, a recent study found that powder of rose hips has anti-inflammatory properties.

Three clinical trials involving the same preparation of rosehips concluded that rose hips are an effective pain reliever. A total of 306 patients participated in the three clinical trials, two of the studies were from Denmark and one involved patients from Norway. The results of this study show that rosehips powder can alleviate symptoms of OA and increase mobility in arthritic joints.

XAMIOL: A NEW TREATMENT OPTION FOR SCALP PSORIASIS

Xamiol is a new once-daily topical treatment developed especially for scalp psoriasis in patients over the age of 18 years. Xamiol contains a vitamin D analogue (calcipotriol) and a corticosteroid (betamethasone) in a gel formulation. The complementary modes of action of the two active ingredients support a fast onset of action and results in the long term when used as recommended.

Xamiol should be applied to the affected areas of the scalp once daily for 4 weeks. After this period, repeated treatment with Xamiol can be initiated. Xamiol is to be used once-a-day, for convenience, Xamiol can be applied NIGHTLY as part of your bedtime routine.

All the affected scalp areas may be treated with Xamiol. When using calcipotriol-containing products, the maximum daily dose should not exceed 15g (app. 4 teaspoons), and the maximum weekly dose should not exceed 100g (app. 25 teaspoons).

People react differently to treatments. Most people see results within 1-2 weeks of treatment. It is, however, important to continue with the treatment as described by your doctor. When you have been cleared from psoriasis, you may not need the treatment for a period of time. You can safely stop the treatment and start it again when necessary, as described by your doctor.

BARAKA: NIGELLA SATIVA OIL EXTRACT

Baraka,the only pharmaceutical standard designed Food Supplement with Nigella Sativa Oil Extract to maintain good health.

Many centuries ago , Nigella Sativa ,or black cumin, or known as Habbatus-Sauda is regarded by many as a panacea for many illness. Habbatus-Sauda seeds have been known to have the high remedial quality. Remedy asthma and allergies, and also banish fatigue.

Baraka is a pharmaceutical quality product with endorsement of Ministry of Health Malaysia and NPCB.

Each capsule contains: Nigella Sativia Oil Extract 450mg

Usage: 2 to 6 capsules daily.

{Sabda Prophet Muhammad S.A.W,"Keep your treatment with Habbatus-Sabda, as it contains a cure for all illnesses except death" ,related by Al-Bukhari.}

Nigella sativa oil (not black cumin seed oil) contains nigellone, which protects guinea pigs from histamine-induced bronchial spasms(perhaps explaining its use to relieve the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, and coughing).
The presence of an antitumor sterol, beta-sitosterol, lends credence to its traditional use to treat abscesses and tumors of the abdomen, eyes, and liver.
N. sativa oil has been reported to be effective in treating opioid dependence.
N. sativa also has been reported to reduce calculi formation in rats' kidneys.
The oil contains melanthin, nigilline, damascene and tannin. Melanthin is toxic in large doses and nigelline is paralytic, so this spice must be used in moderation.

Researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found that thymoquinone, an extract of N. sativa seed oil, blocked pancreatic cancer cell growth and killed the cells by enhancing the process of programmed cell death, (apoptosis), acting as an HDAC inhibitor. While the studies are in the early stages, the findings suggest thymoquinone could eventually have some use as a preventative strategy in patients who have gone through surgery and chemotherapy or in individuals who are at a high risk of developing cancer.

Nigella Sativa currently has five (5) FDA separate patents in the U.S. and one (1) in the UK for the treatment of:
1.Diabetes (US 6,042,834)

2.Inhibition of cancer cell growth (US 5,653,981)

3.Improvement of the Immune System (US 5,482,711)

4.Viral Infections (US 6,841,174)

5.Psoriasis (US 6,531,164)

6.Asthma (UK - EP1709995)

NARCOX :NATURAL COX-2 INHIBITOR

NARCOX is a natural long-term pain relief supplement with a patented Belgian technology called CCE 4800. CCE stands for ‘Caged Curcumin Extract’. CCE 4800 contains curcumin extracted from Curcuma longa, commonly known as turmeric. Curcumin is one of nature’s most powerful anti-inflammatory agents. By using a patented Belgian technology, the curcumin molecule is caged in a polysaccharide (natural starch) called ?-cyclodextrin to increase the absorption of curcumin by 4000x.

NARCOX is proven to offer a completely safe and effective relief for joint and muscular pain caused by swelling and inflammation, without any side effects.

NARCOX is a solution for those who suffer from severe arthritis and injuries from sports or accidents. It is an alternative for those who are taking drugs and medication for their pain but are looking for a safer solution that doesn’t pose any side effects in the long run.
The amount and consumption frequency of drugs or medications that cause side effects can be reduced by complementing them with NARCOX.

NARCOX’s source of curcumin is derived from organically cultivated turmeric plants. NARCOX has been sold in North America and Europe for almost 5 years. Today, NARCOX is available in all leading pharmacies in Malaysia.

There is no issue of NARCOX being taken together with other painkillers. NARCOX can be used to substitute or complement your prescribed painkillers. It is not necessary for you to take other painkillers if you find that NARCOX alone is providing sufficient pain relief. But certain individuals may need to take a small dose of painkillers with NARCOX to manage their pain. This is beneficial as long term consumption of painkillers such as NSAIDs (non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs) can cause side effects including strokes as well as cardiovascular and gastrointestinal problems.

NARCOX should be taken, or its dosage increased, when the pain is aggravated. However, do note that NARCOX cannot eradicate pain permanently but daily consumption can keep the pain at a minimal level.

For a better absorption, it is advisable to take NARCOX 30 minutes before taking your meal or medication. This is also to ensure that the medication does not affect the efficacy of NARCOX.

The efficacy of NARCOX varies from one individual to another and depends on the severity of the pain. However, there should be significant pain relief within 2 weeks if NARCOX is consumed according to the recommended dosage.

RSP for NARCOX is RM75 for 30's

BLACKMORES GLUCOSAMINE 1500MG

Research shows that glucosamine sulphate may help reduce joint inflammation and swelling, increase joint mobility and provide temporary relief of the pain of osteoarthritis.

Researchers found that 55% of patients with osteoarthritis of the knees had a clinically significant improvement in pain and mobility after a period of four weeks using glucosamine sulphate 1500mg daily.

I prefer people to take Glucosamine 1500mg instead of 500mg because one-a-day high strength tablet may contribute to good compliance.

The only problem for Blackmores glucosamine 1500mg is the tablet is quite huge.
