Relief from arthritis: how does mussel extract work RELIEF FROM ARTHRITIS: HOW DOES MUSSEL EXTRACT WORK
How does the extract work in practice and not just under laboratory conditions? If we consider this treatment in relation to human beings suffering from rheumatoid or osteo-arthritis, then, in general, the first signs of a beneficial reaction will be noticed after about three weeks from the time of commencing the treatment. Before we go any further this statement needs some qualification because each case can be different and this assertion refers to the general situation.
Some people respond to this treatment in the first week, whilst others may take as long as fifteen weeks before noting any change in their condition. Another important factor is that the change in condition is not usually dramatic or sudden but is in the form of a slow and progressive improvement. Usually the first change noticed is a decrease in pain and, as the days pass by, this is followed by an improvement in mobility and increased freedom of movement. There is probably also a degree of psychological therapy induced at this stage. So begins a cycle of treatment involving internal medication, through taking the extract, coupled with physical therapy, by using the muscles and joints. Of course, care has to be taken not to overdo things but in general progress is steady and good.
It is only fair to point out that some people may temporarily get worse before getting better. The number of such cases, however, compared with those experiencing direct benefit, is small. The general symptoms described by people who have experienced such a deterioration preceding improvement have been as follows.
At periods ranging from one to four or five weeks after taking the mussel extract capsules, an increase in pain and sometimes also in stiffness occurs. In some cases the pain is very sharp and intense and is accompanied by considerable heat and tenderness in the affected area. Also, in some cases, this effect spreads to other areas of the body. Some people describe these symptoms as being like an attack on all potential sites where arthritis might have set in but has not yet become evident. In any event, this situation can lead to the affected person consuming some form of pain killing preparation (such as aspirin) for the temporary relief of the symptoms.
Usually after such a 'flare-up', which tends to last for a few days only, people enjoy a steady and pain-free improvement. The main difficulty which arises in cases like this is to know whether in fact the flare-up is created by the substance and precedes improvement, or whether in fact it is a flare-up due to a change in treatment. Usually, of course, the changes in treatment that would cause this to happen do not take place because most people take the mussel extract capsules in conjunction with their existing treatment until beneficial results become evident. Fortunately, the flare-up condition does not happen frequently and it is usually an indication that the extract is working and that good results will follow.
Neither the age of a person nor the duration of suffering diminishes the help this treatment offers. A person of eighty may respond just as quickly as a baby. Again, a person who has had arthritis for many years may notice improvement just as quickly as someone who has just developed the condition and the overall results may be just as satisfactory. This is not to say that this extract is capable of eliminating deformities or of rendering degenerated bone surfaces wholesome and new again. We are discussing improvement in general terms, and whilst it is perfectly true that some people have seen nodules disappear and deformed fingers become straight, flexible and active again, there are stages of deformity associated with arthritis which only surgery could rectify, and sometimes which are even beyond the help of surgery.
Mussel extract, of course does not work for everyone, but having said that, the success rate is good. Of people undergoing trials on this substance, some of whom were chronic cases who had not responded to any other treatment, more than 60 per cent benefitted. This percentage has also been confirmed by private reports from numerous subjects with varying degrees of affliction. The evidence to date suggests that relief from symptoms of osteo-arthritis can occur in thirty to fifty per cent of cases. The significance of these figures is enhanced by two factors which are of great importance when considering the beneficial aspects of any product - length of time that the results last and the absence of side-effects.
