Ever feel like you're getting older every day? One of the most unpleasant aspects of aging can be the onset of soreness and discomfort in our joints. In fact, arthritis and other disorders of the joints are the most common causes of disability in the United States. More than 20 million of us suffer from these conditions. But a new approach to therapy may help millions relieve their pain. The personal cost of joint disorders can be staggering. Often, people suffering from joint pain or arthritis must miss a good deal of work, which can have a negative impact on income and on access to health insurance at exactly the time when the need for expensive medications and frequent visits to the doctor increase. In fact, of the $100 million or so that arthritis costs our country every year, half of that cost is from lost income. "I had a condition that caused my muscles and joints to ache and I had extreme fatigue that made it difficult to get out of bed in the morning," said Terri, 46, a personal trainer. People with joint soreness often become inactive, spending more and more time at home. This can cause obesity and depression, and those additional stresses on the body can worsen the burning. While the causes of arthritis -- especially rheumatoid arthritis -- are poorly understood, it is clear that the tissues around the joints become damaged. These tissues are made up of billions of individual cells. In healthy tissue, these cells are able to receive messages from the nervous system and from other cells nearby. They are able to repair damage to themselves. And they are able to divide and multiply to fill in areas where sick cells died. All of these processes depend on a plentiful supply of tiny reactive molecules called redox signaling molecules.These molecules are produced and used by the cells themselves. They are very small, often containing only four or to six atoms, and they make up almost 13% of the fluid inside your body. In recent years, universites around the globe have dramatically increased their study of these molecules. As it turns out, they are absolutely essential to the healthy functioning of the cells in our bodies. As we age, we produce fewer and fewer of them. In fact, a person in her seventies produces only 10% as much as she did when she was a child. Some people, like Terri, have found that replenishing the redox signaling molecules in her body relieved the pain in her joints completely. By drinking a redox signaling molecule supplement, Terri found that her joint pain disappeared. "I got out of bed and my feet didn't hurt. Then I went downstairs, which had always been difficult for me, and I had no soreness. About two months after I started using it I went to my rheumatologist and said, I'm going to try to go off all my meds. I am medicine free and I feel wonderful. I will never stop taking this." Replenishing the body's redox signaling molecules back to the level we had in youth may be on the verge of becoming a standard recommendation for people suffering from arthritis and other burningful disorders of the joints.
