Of all the conditions afflicting chronic pain and inflammation is among the most insidious and depressing. Chronic pain, whether from arthritis, Fibromyalgia or injuries saps our energy and reduces our enjoyment of life. The Western medical establishment has numerous drugs to try to relieve these symptoms and they often do. The difficulty is that many of these drugs are expensive, have life threatening side effects and usually do not solve the underlying problems.
With homeopathy, herbs and nutritional therapy we have safe and effective treatments that can, at times, resolve the underlying condition. We offer here a variety of products which have proven effective. We have arranged them according to condition and have included PDF documents so that you can see the recommended protocols. You can purchase individual supplements or you may purchase complete programs at a 10% discount.
Arthritis - Degenerative Osteoarthritis
A type of arthritis caused by inflammation, breakdown, and eventual loss of the cartilage of the joints. Also called osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis (OS-tee-oh-are-THRY-tis) (OA) is one of the oldest and most common forms of arthritis. Known as the ìwear-and-tearî kind of arthritis, OA is a chronic condition characterized by the breakdown of the joints cartilage. Cartilage is the part of the joint that cushions the ends of the bones and allows easy movement of joints. The breakdown of cartilage causes the bones to rub against each other, causing stiffness, pain and loss of movement in the joint.
Osteoarthritis is known by many different names, including degenerative joint disease, ostoarthrosis, hypertrophic arthritis and degenerative arthritis. Your doctor might choose to use one of these terms to better describe what is happening in your body, but for our purposes, we will refer to all of these as osteoarthritis.
It is thought that osteoarthritis dates back to ancient humans. Evidence of osteoarthritis has been found in ice-aged skeletons. Today, an estimated 21 million Americans live with OA. Despite the longevity and frequency of the disease, the cause is still not completely known and there is no cure. In fact, many different factors may play a role in whether or not you get OA, including age, obesity, injury or overuse and genetics. Your OA could be caused by any one or by a combination of any of these factors

Arthritis - Psoriatic
Psoriatic (sore-EE-AA-tick) arthritis causes pain and swelling in some joints and scaly skin patches on some areas of the body. It is related to the skin condition psoriasis.
What Are the Symptoms?
About 95% of those with psoriatic arthritis have swelling in joints outside the spine, and more than 80% of people with psoriatic arthritis have nail lesions. The course of psoriatic arthritis varies, with most doing reasonably well. Symptoms include:
• Silver or grey scaly spots on the scalp, elbows, knees and/or lower end of the spine.
• Pitting of fingernails/toenails
• Pain and swelling in one or more joints
• Swelling of fingers/toes that gives them a "sausage" appearance.
What Causes It?
The cause is not yet known. It may be partly inherited and environment might play a role.
How Is It Diagnosed?
May involve X-rays, blood tests and joint fluid tests.

Arthritis - Rheumatoid
Rheumatoid arthritis (rue-ma-TOYD arth-write-tis) is a chronic disease, mainly characterized by inflammation of the lining, or synovium, of the joints. It can lead to long-term joint damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss of function and disability.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) progresses in three stages. The first stage is the swelling of the synovial lining, causing pain, warmth, stiffness, redness and swelling around the joint. Second is the rapid division and growth of cells, or pannus, which causes the synovium to thicken. In the third stage, the inflamed cells release enzymes that may digest bone and cartilage, often causing the involved joint to lose its shape and alignment, more pain, and loss of movement.
Because it is a chronic disease, RA continues indefinitely and may not go away. Frequent flares in disease activity can occur. RA is a systemic disease, which means it can affect other organs in the body. Early diagnosis and treatment of RA is critical if you want to continue living a productive lifestyle. Studies have shown that early aggressive treatment of RA can limit joint damage, which in turn limits loss of movement, decreased ability to work, higher medical costs and potential surgery.
RA affects 1 percent of the U.S. population or 2.1 million Americans. Currently, the cause of RA is unknown, although there are several theories. And while there is no cure, it is easier than ever to control RA through the use of new drugs, exercise, joint protection techniques and self-management techniques. While there is no good time to have rheumatoid arthritis, advancements in research and drug development mean that more people with RA are living happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives.

Fibromyalgia
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia (FM) is an increasingly recognized chronic pain illness which is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal aches, pain and stiffness, soft tissue tenderness, general fatigue and sleep disturbances. The most common sites of pain include the neck, back, shoulders, pelvic girdle and hands, but any body part can be involved. Fibromyalgia patients experience a range of symptoms of varying intensities that wax and wane over time.
Who is affected?
It is estimated that approximately 3-6% of the U.S. population has FM. Although a higher percentage of women are affected, it does strike men, women and children of all ages and races. Because of its debilitating nature, Fibromyalgia has a serious impact on patients' family, friends, and employers, as well as society at large.
What are the symptoms?
FM is characterized by the presence of multiple tender points and a constellation of symptoms.
Pain The pain of FM is profound, widespread and chronic. It knows no boundaries, migrating to all parts of the body and varying in intensity. FM pain has been described as deep muscular aching, throbbing, twitching, stabbing and shooting pain that defines the very existence of the Fibromyalgia patient. Neurological complaints such as numbness, tingling and burning are often present and add to the discomfort of the patient. The severity of the pain and stiffness is often worse in the morning. Aggravating factors which affect pain include cold/humid weather, non-restorative sleep, physical and mental fatigue, excessive physical activity, physical inactivity, anxiety and stress.
Fatigue In today's world many people complain of fatigue; however, the fatigue of FM is much more than being tired. It is an all-encompassing exhaustion that interferes with even the simplest daily activities. It feels like every drop of energy has been drained from the body, which at times can leave the patient with a limited ability to function both mentally and physically.
Sleep Problems Many Fibromyalgia patients have an associated sleep disorder which prevents them from getting deep, restful, restorative sleep. Medical researchers have documented specific and distinctive abnormalities in the stage 4 deep sleep of FM patients. During sleep, individuals with FM are constantly interrupted by bursts of awake-like brain activity, limiting the amount of time they spend in deep sleep.
Other symptoms Additional symptoms may include: irritable bowel and bladder, headaches and migraines, restless legs syndrome (periodic limb movement disorder), impaired memory and concentration, skin sensitivities and rashes, dry eyes and mouth, anxiety, depression, ringing in the ears, dizziness, vision problems, raynaud's syndrome, neurological symptoms and impaired coordination.

Pain & Inflammation - Acute
second area where we find the western approach taking a symptomatic turn is in the area of energy and fatigue. Based on the widespread use of coffee, teas and sugar, loss of energy is a major modern complaint. For awhile it seems to work to use stimulants to increase our feeling of energy but over time this approach causes the body to run down. Over time we still have the fatigue and we need to use more and stronger stimulants to get the same benefit.

Pain/Oxycontin Addiction Nutritional Support Protocol
Oxycontin addition has become a topic of concern. Intended as a painkiller, oxycontin addiction has become a serious problem despite legitimate use. An oxycontin addiction has been compared to quitting heroin. For many patients prescribed oxycontin without the knowledge that oxycontin addiction could occur were left with withdrawal symptoms.
Oxycontin addiction requires the close eye of a medical doctor to discontinue the patients treatment because oxycontin withdrawal can be very severe. The patient becoming physically dependent on the drug characterizes Oxycontin addiction and their body develops a tolerance for the drug. As time develops the oxycontin addiction will require the individual to need larger quantities of oxycontin for the same previous effect.

5-HTP Synergy

5HTP Synergy by Designs for Health
Our modern, stressful lives lower levels of the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin depletion leads to food cravings, depression, and other mood disorders. The pharmaceutical industry has responded to the serotonin crisis by creating a wide array of medications which seek to restore serotonin metabolism. A better approach may be to replete serotonin naturally by using its precursor, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP). Naturally restoring serotonin levels may help promote healthy mood levels and may also reduce food cravings.* Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P5P), the activated form of vitamin B6, is included in this formula to support overall neurotransmitter metabolism.

Carnitine Synergy by Designs for Health 60 caps
All Designs for Health products are made with pharmacutical grade ingredients and are of the highest quality and purity. This product does not contain wheat, yeast, soy, corn, dairy products, or preservatives.
What if there were one nutrient which could help you lose weight, increase energ , lower cholesterol, and promote heart health? Carnitine does all that and more. Carnitine accomplishes this by promoting fat burning. Carnitine is the only nutrient that can transport fat to the part of the cell that burns it off: the mitochondria. If you can’t get fat into the mitochondria, you can’t burn it. So no carnitine, no fat burning. Higher carnitine levels, on the other hand, allow our body to burn fat at an optimal rate. Carnitine is sometimes called an amino acid, but it is not. It is similar in structure
to B vitamins, especially choline. However, carnitine is not a true vitamin because the body makes it in small amounts. Carnitine is also found in animal products, especially red meat. Unless you are eating pounds of red meat a day, however, you are probably not getting enough carnitine.
Signs of inadequate carnitine intake include:
Fatigue
Progressive Weight Gain
High Cholesterol and Triglycerides
Weak Heart Function
Lack of Mental Focus
Poor Immune Function1

FlamX
$67
|
FLAM-X by NeuroScience is an anti-inflammatory product that does not cause any of the gastrointestinal side effects seen with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use and may actually reduce these symptoms when taken with NSAIDs. Common NSAIDs are ibuprofen: Motrin & Advil, naproxen sodium: Aleve, and acetylsalicylic acid: Aspirin.
Flam-X is a gelcap containing a standardized preparation of Boswellia serrata. Boswellia inhibits the formation of the pro-inflammatory leukotrienes and is useful in patients with inflammatory disorders including: allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic colitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, bronchial asthma, peritumoral brains edemas, and cancer.
The Boswellia preparation in FLAM-X has been used in numerous clinical studies and has been shown to reduce patient pain and inflammation and increase the levels of active components in the circulation five times higher than equivalent doses of other Boswellia preparations. This same preparation has also been approved by the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medical Products, EMEA to treat inflammation associated edema.
FLAM-X is a commercially available Boswellia serrata preparation that has been used in double-blind placebo-controlled studies and has been proven to be effective.
Product Ingredients
One serving contains a Boswellia serrata resin extract preparation standardized to 800 mg boswellic acids.
Compare Boswellia supplements carefully beacause many less potent boswellia products contain less than one tenth of this amount of actual Boswellic acids. Fewer still contain the specific Boswellia serrata gum resin organic acids ß-Boswellic acid and derivates of 11-keto-ß-Boswellic acid, Acetyl-ß-Boswellic acid, and Acetyl-11-keto-ß-Boswellic acid. These prominent acids are the agents of the anti-inflammatory properties found in Boswellia serrata. In pharmacological tests these acids were found to inhibit 5-Lipoxygenase.
The ability to inhibit 5-Lipoxygenase makes Boswellia extracts a powerful anti-inflammatory remedy. Boswellia extracts are also used to treat Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis. |

Magnesium Malate Chelate 500 mg 120 tablets By Designs for Health
Designs for Health's Magnesium Malate Chelate offers the best chelated minerals sourced from the world’s leader in chelated mineral science, Albion Advanced Nutrition. The magnesium in Magnesium Malate Chelate is now fully chelated to glycine and malic acid, providing a combination of the two most health promoting and most absorbable forms of magnesium available. Malic acid is found naturally in apples and other fruits and vegetables. Glycine is a very low molecular weight amino acid found in foods and can be synthesized by the body. Magnesium can be perfectly chelated to two moles of glycine.
True chelates are not only absorbed better than magnesium salts, but they are retained better in body tissue such as bone. Chelated magnesium is better tolerated than non-bound magnesium salts. Also, the ligands the minerals are chelated to is important as the chelated compound will remain chelated throughout the gut and into the bloodstream. Mineral salts from non-true chelates break apart far sooner, usually in the stomach, leaving the body with the extra compound to deal with. Ionic minerals interfere with the absorption of other minerals including phosphorus and iron whereas chelated minerals do not.

Omega Synergy™ by Designs for Health 90 Softgels
Designs for Health’s Omega Synergy contains a super premium and synergistic blend of wild deep-sea sourced fish oils and borage oil because, when it comes to fatty acid supplementation, synergy makes sense. Among the many facts demonstrating the importance of this synergy are that eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) can lower the body’s natural production of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and vice versa. EPA helps keep GLA metabolism in an anti-inflammatory mode. In addition, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plays as many important roles in human health as EPA, with an added benefit to brain function. Therefore, for optimal benefit it makes sense to take these fatty acids together. Many studies also support the benefits of flax seed oil which is included to round out this formula to be a truly comprehensive omega formula.

PaleoGreens Lemon/Lime Powder by Designs for Health
Great tasting greens food made with organic ingredients
PaleoGreens™ is the great tasting lemon/lime flavored Designs for Health greens food made with organic ingredients, and with the principles of wholesome Paleolithic nutrition in mind. It contains cleansing, regenerative and alkalinizing grass juices, algae, enzymes, prebiotics, and is combined with high ORAC value vegetables, fruits and berries. Unlike other greens products, we never add fillers or bulking agents (such as whole grasses, apple fiber or pectin, rice bran, or flax), which can greatly dilute nutritional potency and are a potential source of genetically modified material. Because the cellulose fiber in whole grass is indigestible, it prevents the grass’s valuable phytonutrients from being released in the digestive system. For this reason, we use only grass juices. In every spoonful of PaleoGreens,™ you receive densely packed nutrition that intensely nourishes and strengthens every system in your body, resulting in sustained energy, enhanced recovery, mental clarity and overall well-being.

Probiotic Synergy

Probiotic Synergy by Designs for Health 90 Caps
Designs for Health’s Probiotic Synergy takes advantage of a new patented delivery technology. It is designed to ensure that the bacteria survive passage through the stomach to the small intestine. The polysaccharide matrix is a delivery system involving gel-forming polysaccharides that are insoluble at a low (acidic) pH like that in the stomach. When this capsule enters the stomach, it begins to dissolve in the gastric juice. The polysaccharides in the gel rehydrate and form an insoluble gel matrix. The protected bacteria move their way to the small intestine where the increased, more alkaline pH causes the probiotics to release—right where we want them. There is now no need to overstuff the capsules to account for die-off of organisms due to their typical intolerance to stomach acid. Refrigeration is not recommended or required (as to avoid moisture accumulation). Room temperature is ideal. Keep out of extreme temperatures—especially heat.
Size: 90 capsules
Each capsule provides:
• Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 1.68 billion
• Bifidobacterium BB-12 1.68 billion
• Streptococcus thermophilus .44 billion
• Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp bulgaricus .20 billion

SAMe
$35
|
SAMe30 Blister Pack by Designs for Health
SAMe is a naturally occurring metabolite found in the human body as well as in plant and animal foods. SAMe is naturally synthesized in humans from the amino acid methionine in the presence of the cofactors B12 and folate. SAMe is the most active of all methyl donors and has been compared to ATP in its importance for the body.
SAMe is involved in the synthesis of:
• Neurotransmitters
• The hormone melatonin
• Phospholipids
• Polyamines, which control cellular growth
It is also the source of methyl groups inside the nucleus for DNA methylation which controls gene expression and masking of genetic damage.
SAMe is extremely sensitive to degradation from air and moisture. Designs for Health SAMe is superior to other products on the market due to its stability in the nitrogen blister packs and maximized bioavailability by an enteric coating. It is recommended that each blister be opened immediately before ingesting the tablet. Designs for Health SAMe tablets are enterically coated in order to prevent its breakdown by stomach acidity and promote intact absorption in the small intestine. Vitamins B6, B12, and folate were added in order to provide cofactors for the natural conversions of SAMe to L-homocysteine and then safely to L-cysteine.
Even if the body is producing normal or average levels of SAMe, certain physiological states create an increased demand for it, such as: aging, dietary deficiency, inflammatory states, emotional/physical stress or genetic polymorphysms. Sub-optimal levels of SAMe in some individuals may be due to insufficient amounts of the precursor amino acid methionine (vegetarianism or poor protein intake). Age related decline in enzyme difficiencies throughout the body can be improved by increasing the supply of enzyme cofactors such as SAMe, B-vitamins, and magnesium.
Initial dosing of SAMe should begin at 200 mg early in the day. SAMe should not be taken in the evening, because its natural circadian rhythm is high during the day and low in the evening and throughout the night. The dose can be increased after 5 days or more, 200mg at a time, while evaluating its effectiveness. Absorption of SAMe is optimal on an empty stomach, however, taking SAMe with meals may be more clinically efficacious by slowing its delivery into the blood stream and creati

Three a Day Antioxidant 90 Cap by Designs for Health
Three A Day Antioxidant combines the best of the water soluble and herbal free radical quenchers, including optimal doses of C, E, zinc and selenium. Three A Day Antioxidant is a critical supplement for anyone under high amounts of stress, or exposed to environmental toxins and pollution.

• The curcumin is now standardized to higher curcuminoids (95%).
• The Green Tea is now a much higher standardized EGCg (50%).
• The manganese and molybdenum are now chelated Albion minerals.
• The zinc and selenium are bound to methionine which aids the synthesis of metallothionine, the important zinc binding protein, which aids the removal of heavy metals such as cadmium. Methionine is a sulfur containing amino acid involved in Phase II detoxification.

Tyrosine 100 gm powder by Designs for Health
Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid synthesized in the body from the essential amino acid phenylalanine. The typical dietary amount provided by a 3 oz portion of animal protein is 0.3-1 g of tyrosine. Tyrosine is the precursor amino acid from which the body makes Dopamine (with vitamin B6 as cofactor), which is then converted to Nor-epinephrine (with vitamin C as cofactor ) and then to Epinephrine (with SAMe as cofactor). Tyrosine competes for uptake with other large neutral amino acids, so in order to maximize absorption from the supplemented Tyrosine into various tissues (such as brain, adrenals, nerves), it should be taken on an empty stomach, or two hours away from a protein containing meal.
Size: 100 gram container
Each 1/2 teaspoon (1 gram) contains:
• Tyrosine 1000 mg

ZELLULISAN spag. ointment
Anti-inflamatory for Tendonitis
$28 |
Zellulisan OIintment by Pekana
For detoxification of the connective tissue and relief of tendonitis
INDICATIONS
Weakness in the connective tissue, poor nutrition and a lack of exercise can cause toxic waste deposits to build up, particularly in the arms and legs in many women. Although initially a cosmetic problem (cellulite), this condition is also a sign of lymphatic stagnation and blocked excretion processes. Combining ZELLULISAN ointment with PEKANA excretion remedies, especially TOXEX drops, ITIRES drops or MUNDIPUR drops, corrects this build up and allows proper excretion of toxins.
In addition, this ointment is highly effective in treating acute and chronic tendonitis.
