Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms Don't Rule My Aud Life

As a person living with Rheumatoid Arthritis, I’ve looked down a few avenues to find relief and aid in fighting this disease. One avenue that has brought a bit of success for me is holistic or naturopath remedies.

I have only just begun this venture the past 5 months so I’m not a deep well of knowledge and experience, but I do have a bit that I can share first hand. My favorite is the lipid extract of the green mollusk of New Zealand.

I need to take 9 MG of warfarin daily, which means that I’m not able to take most anti-inflammatory medications. The green mollusk lipid extract (Lyprinol) is the only anti-inflammatory that I can take without having my coagulation compromised. I’ve had a lot of success with it.

I recently have been finding out more about this neat little tid-bit. Perna carnaliculus have been used to treat not only rheumatoid arthritis but also osteoarthritis, asthma and inflammatory bowel disease since the late 1970’s. Scientists, more recently, have discovered that the biologic necessity is in the lipid and not the protein of the mollusk. It contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and works against substances in the body called leukotreines (they are responsible for some aspects of chronic inflammatory responses).

It took about a month before I really noticed a difference, but it was wonderful. Flare ups are taken care of quicker than before when I didn’t have any anti-inflammatory to take. I would not recommend anyone with a sensitive allergy to shellfish to try this therapy. But, for those who are also on blood thinners and restricted from medications, or maybe you’re just wanting to try something different to see if it works out- talk to your health care provider about green mollusk lipid extract, this may be the start of some new relief for you! Since rheumatoid arthritis is a personal disease, affecting each individual in a unique way, sometimes we have to search a bit to find the proper solution for ourselves.
