Re: New Anti-inflammatory drugs?

[Guest guest]

I was most interested in this as I also have arthritis and can't take anti inflammatories. I did a bit of looking around on the net and found this and would like your opinion on the findings here.

I'm sorry ,but could you rephrase your question.

Have you tried to make your diet more anti-inflammatory,by consuming more

Omega 3 fatty acids and less omega 6 fatty acids?

See " Omega-3 Fatty Acids Shown to prevent or Slow Progression of

Osteoarthritis " ,Science Daily(oct17,2011)

Also achieving ,or being at a healthy weight might also help to decrease

inflammation,and put less wear and tear on the weight bearing joints.

Corticosteroids and osteopenia or osteoporosis is a real concern.

Does any of this help?Wayne

I consume the maximum permitted of Omega 3, am definitely not overweight, 5'6 and only 60 kg so well within my required range.

Because of aspirin in Voltaren/Deep Heat creams I use Rapigel instead which scarily enough is a gel designed for horses (not that I'm a nag of course haha) and find that gives some relief.

My GP has said I'm doing all the correct things and my diet is excellent.

Guess it's the luck of the draw.

My wife has osteoarthritis,fairly severe involving knees ,wrists,hands especially(it runs in her family).She takes Osteo Bi-Flex which has Boswellia serrata extract in it something called AKBA (see following article).

Also some articles talk about uric acid increasing the likelihood of Severe Osteoarthritis (see Science Daily).

Light exercise may prevent osteoarthritis and high-impact activity is associated with cartilage degeneration and a higher risk for osteoarthritis.(also in Science Daily)

New anti -inflammatory drugs might take 10 years or more before marketed. Wayne

My point is that combining asa with omega-3 fatty acids might increase an

anti-inflammatory response by increasing resolvins and protectins. The real

questions is how much omega-3 combined with how much asa produces the best

result?I've heard of omega-3's in the range of 3-6 grams per day(ie EPA and DHA

combined)but as this and asa both thin the blood what would be optimal when

both are taken together?--_In samters , " Wayne " <louis7680@...>
