Learn The Secret of Overcoming Winter Arthritis Joint Pain and Restoring Joint Health Naturally


Arthritis based joint pain is particularly harsh during the winter months, but can be effectively controlled using the powerful pain fighting properties found in the natural supplement grape seed extract. Little is heard from traditional medicine or the advertisement media about the joint pain healing properties found in grape seed extract, but there is overwhelming evidence to prove otherwise. The Federal Drug Administration doesn't even consider natural supplements like Grape Seed Extract important enough to regulate. However, there have been reports and studies lately to show that grape seed extract is in fact a viable agent in fighting joint pain caused by Arthritis, and similar afflictions, but without the serious side effects that result from prescription drugs.

Prescription drug companies are missing the point, by creating drugs synthetically in the labs that only treat the pain symptom alone, and do nothing about the root cause of Arthritis pain. The pain experienced from Arthritis actually comes from a misdirected immune system, also referred to as an autoimmune disease. In this situation, the body attacks its own cells, including the organs and joints and promotes the development of inflammation, which results in joint pain. Drugs do a good job of eradicating the inflammation and pain but at a great cost; instead of directly attacking the inflammation, drugs simply shut down the immune system completely, leaving it severely compromised in its ability to fight off infections and major viruses, including Tuberculosis. That is why advertisements are always accompanied with disclaimers cautioning users of the risks involved in using their drug. Approximately 50 million people in the United States suffer from the symptoms of some kind of autoimmune disease, which in addition to rheumatoid arthritis; include Fibromyalgia, Systemic Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis and more.

Grape Seed extract with Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPC) has been evaluated in connection with joint health in scientific publications and was proven to not only alleviate pain, but also promote superior joint health. In a study published in 2009 based on collagen-induced arthritis (or CIA) in mice, showed that grape seed extract treatment significantly lessoned the severity of CIA, and reduced the histology scores for synovial inflammation, cartilage erosion, bone erosion and the number of osteoclasts. Osteoclasts are the cells that destruct bones and osteoblasts are cells to build bones. In a later study published in 2010, researchers reported in an immunology letter that grape seed extract regulates inflammatory T cell differentiation and concluded that grape seed extract may serve as a possible therapeutic agent for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders. Additional research concluded that grape seed extract is both safe and effective in reduction of inflammation in all areas of the body. In addition to helping arthritis, OPC by boosting the immune system's ability to fight inflammation, is capable of, and effective in reducing the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, migraine headaches, asthma, allergies and even cancer.
