Joyce Moritz spent ten years feeling as though she had a migraine throughout her entire body. Constant pain in her arms, legs, knees, hands, fingers, shoulders, and back meant she needed help just getting out of bed or going to the bathroom. Many nights she was unable to lie on a flat surface, even a comfortable bed, and often got only 2 or 3 hours of sleep at a time. “The doctors had me on so many different types of medication, that I think I could have started my own pharmacy,” she said. She kept an ice pack in the freezer that she would place across her shoulders. In less than 10 minutes she’d need another because the heat of the pain melted the ice. She tried special diets, water therapy, and deep tissue massages. Nothing worked long enough to give the amount of relief she needed and she finally resigned herself to the life of an invalid living on pain pills.
That is, until March 13, 2001. Joyce's mother had been listening to a radio talk show where they were discussing an all-natural product for people with arthritis, fibromyalgia and other joint pain. They said the product offered pain relief through a natural substance- Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA is the main ingredient in the synovial fluid that is present in our joints, ligaments, skin, eyes, mouth, and around all of our vital organs. It is the same substance doctors inject into their patients’ painful joints and knees. Joyce's mother ordered it, as did a friend who had heard about the product. They both wanted her to try it. “Since I had tried everything else, and I do mean everything, why not?”
The directions said to put one full dropper in a small amount of water first thing in the morning and drink it. It is tasteless, colorless and odorless. Within three weeks, she noticed a difference. “I could no longer forecast the rainy weather. I was not up all night with pain, and the ice packs stayed in the freezer.” Joyce effectively gave herself a lube job. As we age our joints dry out causing arthritis. Our ligaments dry out too, causing referral pain in the muscles. Doctors often call this a symptom of fibromyalgia, believing that it is muscle pain. In Joyce’s case it was both, dry ligaments and dry joints.
Chronic bursitis is due to drying out of the bursa. Some forms of hair loss, dry eyes (including eye floaters), dry mouth, and even vaginal dryness in menopausal women can all be linked to drying out of the skin and connective tissues, and can be corrected and reversed with hyaluronic acid.
The most effective HA on the market today is Synthovial Seven, made by A. V. Labs. It has been recently patented (US patent number 6,607,745) and is pure hyaluronic acid with no additives. It is a tasteless, ph-balanced liquid and is administered by putting a few drops into a glass of water or juice. It is made by bacterial fermentation and is vegetarian. There are no negative side effects and has never been known to interfere with any other supplement or medication. Being in liquid form it is immediately useful to the body and results can be expected in 1 to 4 weeks. A very successful double-blind osteo-knee arthritis study has just been completed by Dr. K. Dean Reeves in Kansas City. The results will be published soon.
You can read much more about this product and others that contain hyaluronic acid at www.humanbodyrecon.com or call toll free 1-866-466-7967. They also have HA for small animals in the form of HyaFlex for cats and dogs, and their success with hip dysplasia has been remarkable. You will also find Hyalun for your equine friends there.
Joyce uses Synthovial Seven and considers it an answer to her prayers. One of the most painful holidays she had ever experienced was Christmas 2000. She said that’s when she asked God to show her why she was on this earth and to give her relief from the pain. She began using Synthovial Seven on March 13, 2001. In April of that year she turned 50 and went to Hawaii. She went scuba diving, took an 8 1/2 mile bike ride in the hills of Kauai and then hiked another 2 1/2 miles with no pain and no sore muscles. “He does answer,” she said. “I feel like I have been reborn.”
