What is the difference between Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis? Osteoarthritis is considered a condition of “wear and tear” upon the joints; caused by numerous factors including age and injury. On the other hand, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is not a condition of “wear and tear.” It is classified as an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, causing inflammation that damages the joints. I think I may have Osteoarthritis. How will it (osteoarthritis) be diagnosed by my physician?For the majority of sufferers, time-consuming diagnostic tests and other complex procedures will not be needed. Diagnosis will likely be made by a simple, weight-bearing x-ray, as well as a thorough examination by a skilled orthopedic doctor. X-rays of osteoarthritis patients often show bone enlargement and narrowing of the affected joint space, as well as any damaged cartilage or bone spurs. Occasionally, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) may be used to examine the extent of cartilage damage, especially if the OA is thought to be in the spinal region. What is the difference between a normal aging joint, versus one that has been affected by OA, or osteoarthritis?There are several differences between an “OA joint” and a normal aged joint structure. The water content of cartilage in an aging joint does not change significantly. In a joint with OA, the water content increases early in the disease process.
(Source: The Dept of Orthopaedic Surgery; The University of California, San Francisco) Can osteoarthritis lead to disability?Although it is rare, osteoarthritis can lead to disability if the condition is not diagnosed and managed correctly. This emphasizes the importance of understanding the many signs and symptoms of this condition, its risk factors, and what you can do (e.g. nutritional supplementation, exercise, etc.) to lessen the severity of osteoarthritis. If I decide to order Exomine, are Progressive Health's products sent discreetly?Yes; Progressive Health respects your privacy. All orders will be shipped in a plain, unmarked envelope with a return address from Progressive Health Nutraceuticals Inc. (For more information about our shipping and billing policies, see Shipping and Billing below) How soon can I expect to see results?The results derived from Exomine are dependant on the individual and condition severity. While a large number of customers yield immediate results, others may see results in only a few short weeks. Generally, we advise that you use the product continuously, for a minimum of 45 - 60 days. Are there any side effects when taking Exomine?As with all nutritional supplements, there is potential for reaction. Progressive Health ensures that all potential conflicts and side effects are listed on the product information pages. However, we strongly recommend consulting with your physician if you suffer from any pre-existing conditions (other than osteoarthritis), known allergies, or if you are currently taking any medications. Based on customer feedback, order history, and regular product overview, there has yet to be a report of any serious side effects resulting from the implementation of Progressive Health products into existing treatment programs.
