Taking good care of yourself means stretching,
exercise and taking care of your joints
New From Formor
Joint Cocktail
Just $34.95 (Plus S & H)
Life today puts a tremendous
amount of stress on every part of the body, including joints. The old
way of supporting healthy joints with ingredients such as glucosamine
and chondroitin, is no longer enough. Our bodies demand a new level of
potency. Joint Cocktail is a breakthrough formulation of recently
discovered nutrients combined with a healthy splash of tart cherry juice
designed to support healthy joints.
Joint Cocktail is the first liquid
product to utilize the breakthrough nutrient Cynatine FLX™. Cynatine FLX™
contains Functional Keratin™, extracted from natural New Zealand wool.
Unlike all other keratins on the market, Functional Keratin™ contains
patented intact bioactive keratin proteins that have not been
denaturalized through a harsh hydrolyzation process.
Cynatine FLX™ also provides a non-allergenic alternative to marine
derived materials, unlike most glucosamine ingredients and contains no
products derived from processed animal cartilage, unlike most
chondroitin ingredients. Cynatine FLX™ is a highly potent enzymatic
antioxidant, which means one molecule can neutralize significantly
higher numbers of free radicals than most traditional antioxidants.
Also, Cynatine FLX™ supports the body’s production of superoxide
dismutase (SOD) and glutathione which are important nutrients in
combating the effects of oxidation.
In addition, Joint Cocktail delivers hyaluronic acid, a vital nutrient
for joint health, and Vitamin D3, an important nutrient to overall
health and vitality. It also includes colloidal gold, which enhances the
performance of the other ingredients, and tart cherry juice, considered
to have one of the highest antioxidant capacities of all known fruits
and vegetables.
Xylitol is another ingredient
in Joint Cocktail. Xylitol is
not only a safe, natural sweetener without the bad side-effects of sugar
and artificial substitutes; it's also good for your teeth, stabilizes
insulin and hormone levels and promotes good health.
Mix 1
to 3 ounces of Joint Cocktail, or as directed by a health care
professional, with 6-8 ounces of filtered water or your favorite juice.
Shake well before using. Refrigerate after opening. Drink as often as
needed.
For adult use only. Always consult your health care professional before
taking any dietary supplement. These statements have not been evaluated

ABOUT
HYALURONIC ACID
Amazing Video on Hyaluronic
Acid
If you have been to a
health food store or read a
beauty
or health magazine lately, chances are you have heard
about hyaluronic acid and the effects it can have on
your body. Claims have been made that optimum levels of
this nutrient help us move around more easily, and can
make us seem more youthful in our appearance.
Facts
Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the body. It is
a viscous, slippery material that lubricates the joints,
maintains the shape of the eyeballs, and is a key
component of connective tissue. HA is instrumental in
giving your skin volume and fullness by absorbing and
holding over 1,000 times its weight in water. It also
transports nutrients to parts of the body, such as
cartilage, that don't receive a supply of blood.
Significance
As we
age, our bodies produce less HA. This can lead to
various joint problems and contribute to skin
inelasticity, causing wrinkling and sagging. Because of
this, many people are interested in natural ways of
keeping their HA at optimum levels without resorting to
prescription drugs and risking associated complications
and side effects.
Research
John
Heinerman, a nutritionist, reports that there is a
village near Tokyo, Japan, called Yusuri Hara, where
more than 10 percent of the population--almost 10 times
the American norm--is 85 years of age or older. He notes
that these people have managed to "keep their skin tones
supple, resilient, vibrant, and wrinkle-free."
Conclusions
Heinerman cites findings by Dr.Toyosuke Komori, who
studied and wrote books on longevity in Yusuri Hara. Dr.
Komori concluded that certain starchy foods and
gelatinous root vegetables promoted the formation of HA
in the body, and were instrumental in the above-average
health and appearance of the villagers. Examples of
these beneficial foods included satsumaimo, a type of
sweet potato; satoimo, a sticky white potato; konyaku, a
gelatinous root concoction; and imoji, a potato root.
Based on the studies of Dr. Komori, Heinerman concludes
that other carbohydrate-rich and gelatinous foods more
common to Americans such as papaya, mangos, parsnips and
avocados should have the same effect in increasing HA as
the foods found in the diet of the Yusuri Hara
villagers.

Introducing Cynatine FLX™
Cynatine FLX™ Information - Printable pdf File
Cynatine FLX™ is a new joint care product designed as an
active ingredient in health and dietary supplements to maintain healthy joints
and fight cartilage damage due to aging and wear and tear. Cynatine FLX has a
four-fold mechanism that explains its potential to act as a combined joint
health and antioxidant product in a single premium ingredient extracted from
pure New Zealand wool.
It is a natural, non-allergenic alternative to
many other consumer health ingredients, including glucosamine and chondroitin,
and requires no undesirable stabilizers such as sulfate or hydrochloric acid.
Cynatine FLX also provides full-strength biochemical interventions, unlike many
alternatives in this market.
Derived from a gentle patent-pending
extraction process, Cynatine FLX makes it possible for the first time for the
body to digest natural keratin. Because it keeps the amino acid structure intact
it is therefore fully potent and available to the body.
Cynatine
FLX Works in 4 Ways
Cynatine Flx™ Builds Joint Resilience
-
Cynatine FLX™ supplies the key building
blocks for joint repair. It provides the essential bioactive high sulfur
precursors that cells use to rebuild vital joint tissue, faster.
-
The only joint
mobility product that contains the building blocks needed for
joint repair and remodeling of tissue.
Cynatine Flx™ Helps Reduce Inflammation
-
Cynatine FLX™ suppresses the inflammatory
mediators associated with degradation of the joint. Without the
anti-inflammatory properties of Cynatine FLX™, longterm inflammation can
lead to further erosion and assault on the joint.
-
Reduced inflammation means
reduced pain and more activity.
Cynatine Flx™ Improves Mobility
-
Cynatine FLX™ is a highly potent enzymatic
antioxidant. Unlike most antioxidants that require one molecule of
antioxidant to be sacrificed for every free radical, one molecule can quench
millions of free radicals.
-
Cynatine FLX™ is a ‘Force Multiplier for
the Body’s Natural Defense’ by increasing the production of superoxide
dismutase (SOD) and glutathione.
-
An important aspect of Cynatine FLX™
potent antioxidant activity is the promotion of glutathione production, a
major antioxidant present in all parts of the body.
-
Research data indicates that ingested
Cynatine FLX™ helps to build the cells' glutathione supply, resulting in an
increase in glutathione-dependent peroxidase
-
(GSH-PX), which is a primary defense
against oxidative damage.
Cynatine Flx™ Protects The Joint
-
Cynatine FLX™ has intrinsic natural
antioxidant activity. Even when it is not involved in rallying the body’s
own defenses, Cynatine FLX™ is still exerting a potent antioxidant affect.
-
By increasing antioxidant defenses,
Cynatine FLX™ can reduce the damage in joints caused by free radicals, which
cause oxidative stress. This suppresses the inflammatory response which
ultimately results in pain reduction and increased mobility.
Joint Pain
Joint
Pain Not Inevitable
With Age
Creaking knees,
hips, and ankles
aren't
necessarily
normal aches and
pains that come
with age. Your
pain might be
arthritis.
Luckily,
medicine has a
lot to offer ---
from exercise
and alternative
supplements to
medications and
joint
replacement.
It's a serious
problem, because
pain can affect
every aspect of your
life. "Pain is not
only the experience
of hurting; it
affects how you
handle your life,
your livelihood,
your interactions
with family and
friends," says Raymond
Gaeta, MD, director
of
pain management
services at Stanford
Hospital & Clinic at
Stanford University.
Getting the Right
Diagnosis
Arthritis is a
catch-all term that
simply means
inflammation of the
joints - but it's
not a simple
diagnosis. "We now
recognize over 100
different forms of
arthritis,"
says Robert
Hoffman, MD, chief
of rheumatology at
the University of
Miami Miller School
of Medicine.
Gout is
a form of arthritis
that can lead
to
osteoarthritis;
hemochromatosis is
an inherited disease
involving abnormally
high iron storage in
the body, which
causes
heart disease,
diabetes, and
arthritis. Joint
pain can also result
from cancer that has
spread to joints, he
notes.
Common
Pain-Related Conditions
Osteoarthritis:
This is often called
degenerative joint
disease and is the
most common type of
arthritis in the
over-50 crowd. As we
get older, the
rubbery cartilage
that serves as a
shock absorber to
our joints becomes
stiff, loses its
elasticity, and
becomes more
susceptible to
damage. As the
cartilage wears
away, tendons and
ligaments stretch,
causing pain. It can
occur in almost any
joint in the body -
most commonly in the
fingers, hips,
knees, and spine.
Symptoms include
joint aching and
soreness, pain, and
bony knots in the
finger joints.
Medications,
painkillers, and
alternative
supplements can
help relieve the
pain. But lifestyle
changes like weight
loss may also be
necessary to reduce
stress on
weight-bearing
joints.
Rheumatoid
Arthritis
This form of
arthritis is very
different from
degenerative joint
disease. The
inflammation occurs
in joints on both
sides of the body -
a symmetry that
helps distinguish it
from other types of
arthritis. However,
many of the symptoms
sound familiar -
joint pain and
swelling, joint
stiffness, and
fatigue. Researchers
believe that an
external organism -
like a virus or
bacteria - may alter
the immune system,
causing it to attack
the joints and
sometimes other
organs.
Rheumatoid
arthritis is not
just a benign joint disease,
as it can lead to
early death. With
rheumatoid
arthritis, there is
quite good evidence
that early diagnosis
and aggressive
treatment can help
to maintain
function, prevent
disability, and
improve survival.
Polymyalgia
Rheumatica (PMR) and
Temporal Arteritis
(TA)
These
inflammatory
diseases often occur
together and are
thought to be
related. PMR is a
disease involving
the larger joints of
the body like the
hip and shoulders.
TA is an
inflammation of the
blood vessels to the
head, including the
eyes. Both
conditions are
caused by the body's
immune system
reacting against
itself.
Pain
and stiffness in
shoulder and hip
joints, fever,
weight loss, and
fatigue - these are
all symptoms of PMR.
Often the only
symptom is the
inability to get out
of a chair easily or
raising the arms to
brush one's hair.
The most common
symptom of TA is a
severe headache -
and if not treated,
TA can cause
irreversible
blindness, stroke,
or transient
ischemic attacks (ministrokes.)
Gout
Hyaluronic acid
works effectively to
counteract the
inflammation
associated with gout
and other
inflammatory joint
conditions. The
preparation as a
gout remedy can be
taken as an oral
supplement.
Fibromyalgia
This chronic
disorder creates
pain and tenderness
at numerous points
throughout the body,
resulting in serious
sleep problems and
fatigue. The cause
of fibromyalgia is
poorly understood,
but is not related
to any muscle,
nerve, or joint
injury. One theory
is that the
condition may be
related to
oversensitive nerve
cells in the spinal
cord and brain. Or
it may be due to an
imbalance in brain
chemicals that
control mood, lowers
a person's tolerance
for pain, possibly
triggering a cycle
of restless sleep,
fatigue, inactivity,
sensitivity, and
pain.
Though there is no
cure for
fibromyalgia,
treatment is focused
on managing pain,
fatigue, depression,
and other symptoms
in an attempt to
break the cycle of
sensitivity, pain,
and decreased
physical activity.
Low
doses of
antidepressant
medication taken
before bedtime may
offer more restful
sleep. Other kinds
of sleeping pills
are not very helpful
for people who have
fibromyalgia.
Nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) --
including ibuprofen
and naproxen -- may
help decrease pain,
but they should be
used long-term only
under the care of a
doctor.
Depression
Sadness is not the
only hallmark of
depression. There
also may be physical
symptoms like
unexplained aches
and pains, studies
show. The most
commonly cited
symptoms are
frequent headaches,
back pain, joint
pain, and abdominal
pain - all of which
may mask the
depression. These
physical symptoms
may be related to or
aggravated by the
depression and can
linger longer than
the emotional
symptoms.
It is believed
that these physical
symptoms are really
signs of
fibromyalgia. The
two conditions do
seem to commonly
coexist. Also,
depression may bring
a heightened
awareness of pain.
Treating the
depression is
important.
Lifestyle Changes
Lose Weight
If you are
overweight, the
first step is to
shed those excess
pounds. Recent study showing
that even losing as
little as 10 to 15 pounds
can cut the risk of
osteoarthritis of
the knee by 50%.
Start
Exercising
Develop an
exercise program
that's right for
you. All too often,
pain victims get
caught in a vicious
cycle: Their aching
joints prevent them
from exercising,
which causes their
joints to weaken
further and their
condition to
deteriorate.
Exercises
are best that usually
improve
strength, endurance,
and range of motion
and specific joint
exercises designed
specifically for
pain relief.
Getting 40 minutes
of exercise at a
time -- three or
four days a week --
is generally
advised. Some
suggestions:
If you have
access to a
pool, water
workouts are
often
recommended. The
buoyancy of
water supports
the weight of
the body, taking
the stress off
stiff and achy
joints and
making it much
easier to
exercise.
Biking, walking,
and other
low-impact
exercises that
don't put
pounding
pressure on the
joints are also
helpful. But
high-impact
exercises such
as jogging
should usually
be avoided, and
never subscribe
to the "No pain,
no gain" mantra,
Wear Correct
Footwear.
Buy
soft cushiony shoes
that provide an
extra layer of
protective padding.
If You
Smoke, Quit
It's been shown that
smoking has an
effect on both bone
health and response
to treatment.
Some Ways to
Relieve Pain
Heat
or cold therapy can
often provide
temporary pain
relief. Some
people prefer heat
packs, others ice
packs, so try both,
and see which works
better for you.
Neither should be
kept on the joints
for more than 20
minutes at a time..
For
other patients,
"creams such as
Ben-Gay that are
associated with a
warm, peppery
feeling can help. Rubbing
the cream stimulates
the skin around the
joint, reducing
pain."
The
supplements contain
a form of hyaluronic
acid, a natural
chemical that acts
as a lubricant and
shock absorber in
the joint can be
useful.
Shoulder Pain is a very common among
athletes
Steroid shots. Corticosteroids are yet another option. Shots of steroids -- artificial versions of the body's natural hormones -- into the joint can reduce inflammation, thereby reducing pain. But though injections are fine as a short-term fix, long-term use is usually not recommended because of potential side effects.
Get yourself and your family started here with a
program that makes sense and please stay in touch. Your health is
important to us so please make it important to you. Remember
"The Time is Always Now."
Sincerely,
Bob Fox
