Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage. Glucosamine sulfate is a normal constituent of glycoaminoglycans in cartilage matrix and synovial fluid. Glucosamine sulfate builds cartilage with very few side effects
Available evidence from randomized controlled trials supports the use of glucosamine sulfate in the treatment of osteoarthritis, particularly of the knee. It is believed that the sulfate moiety provides clinical benefit in the synovial fluid by strengthening cartilage and aiding glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Recent studies have shown that the cartilage-building substance called glucosamine is also effective for the long-term relief of osteoarthritis pain. In some people, glucosamine appears to even slow the deterioration of joints over time and reinforce joint cartilage. If this hypothesis is confirmed, it would mean that only the glucosamine sulfate form is effective and non-sulfated glucosamine forms are not effective. Glucosamine is commonly taken in combination with chondroitin, a glycosaminoglycan derived from articular cartilage. Use of complementary therapies, including glucosamine, is common in patients with osteoarthritis, and may allow for reduced doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents.

An excerpt of an article about colon health
The good news about colon cancer is that it’s actually a very preventable disease. Colon cancer prevention has traditionally been focused on maintaining a healthy diet, and this is still recommended today. Diets high in fiber, and low in fatty foods and red meat are linked to a reduced risk of developing colon cancer.

There have also been some studies suggesting that aspirin may help lower your risk of colon cancer. Read the full article on colon health
These are all colon cancer prevention tips that may be useful to some, but for others you are going to develop the disease no matter how hard you try to avoid it. Many cases of colon cancer are linked to an inherited condition that leads to the growth of hundreds of what are called ‘polyps’ along your colon and rectum. Polyps are normally benign, but if you are a polyp grower there is an extremely high likelihood that one or more will become cancerous in your lifetime. If you have had close relatives that have developed colon cancer, there is a good chance you may be a poly grower.

An article excerpt for High blood pressure is a dangerous condition which often has a simple solution
High blood pressure (otherwise known as hypertension, or more correctly arterial hypertension) is a serious condition which seldom carries any symptoms and which, if left undetected and untreated, can result in stroke, arterial aneurysm, heart attack, heart failure or renal failure any one of which is a life-threatening condition.
So precisely what is hypertension and precisely what causes it?
The arteries within the body are continuously filled with blood which provides a normal ‘background’ pressure on the artery walls. As your heart pumps newly oxygenated blood around your body it forces this blood into the arteries briefly raising the pressure exerted on the artery walls during every beat of the heart. These two pressures are known as the systolic pressure (the higher pressure as the heart is pumping) and the diastolic pressure (the lesser normal or ‘background’ pressure).

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a fairly common complaint in our society. It is not an actual disease, but a collection of symptoms, or a syndrome.
Your doctor will probably tell you that the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the nerves as they pass through the carpal tunnel of the wrist, and that it requires surgery to relieve the pressure. That can sometimes be so. Alternatively, it may not. A friend recently had the carpal tunnel operation and sadly she was worse afterwards. Then her doctor told her that the surgery doesn’t always work!

The answer could be because there are many other conditions that can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome…
