Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is not pleasant: its symptoms include inflammation of the joints, rheumatoid nodules on the skin, lung fibrosis, renal amyloidosis or a tendency to develop atherosclerosis. If you’re really unlucky, symptoms may extend to the eyes, liver, brain, you may start suffering from anemia, osteoporosis or lymphoma. Not to mention the ‘easier’ symptoms like fatigue, loss of appetite (followed logically by loss of weight) and so on. It is a disease that can end up attacking your entire body and turning your life into a very painful experience.
Like with just about any other medical condition, treatments for rheumatoid arthritis are considerably more effective in the early stages of the disease. Surgery is possible, anti-inflammatory drugs also work. The regular treatment for rheumatoid arthritis is made up of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD), which usually affect indicators like autoantibody levels, haemoglobin or ESR and also reduce the damage that the disease does to the bones.
Unfortunately, definite cures do not exist and the existing treatments take care of easing the symptoms, which means that once you are diagnosed with this disease, you can expect to have to battle it for life.
The Nopalea option
Nopalea is a health supplement. Its creators designed the juice to handle body, muscle and joint inflammation, respiratory and arterial inflammation, digestive tract or widespread body cell inflammation. The drink is meant to relieve the pain, reduce the swelling in muscles and joints and help improve the breathing process.
IS it for real?
So, of course, the relevant question is: does it work? Can it get rid of your rheumatoid arthritis pain?
The Internet offers some very puzzling results with numerous people asking in forums whether the juice is for real and replies that vary from not so good to the very best. The problem with the negative comments is that they mostly come from people who don’t seem to have tried the product, or didn’t take it the right way, while the positive comments many times sound a bit too good to be true. So where does the truth lie?
If you don’t want the answer to come in the form of the easy solution (which is, try it and see for yourself), what you can try is research the actual product, see what it’s made of and research the chances of its ingredients actually doing the job they are advertised to do.
Nopalea is based on the nopal cactus fruit, known as opuntia ficus indica or, in layman’s terms, the prickly pear. While not many drugs are based on it, the prickly pear is known to have a high quantity of antioxidants and we all know that antioxidants are the key to just about anything nowadays. This means that, strictly based on its ingredients, there’s a high chance that Nopalea might work. Unfortunately, just as in the case of any other treatment for rheumatoid arthritis it will probably be a temporary pain relief, but will not miraculously cure your disease. Continued use of the product would be the only way to maintain results.
All things considered, if it’s an all natural solution that MAY help and doesn’t have any known side effects, why not give it a try?
