Drinking adequate amounts of water is absolutely essential to speeding up this process. Divide body's weight by half, and that is how many ounces of water an individual needs. Eight to ten glasses a day is average; bigger people require MORE. And for every cup of caffeine containing beverage that is consumed, one EXTRA glass of water is needed, as caffeine dehydrates system further. It is amazing how many symptoms can disappear just by being properly hydrated - including depression. When we feel depressed, often rest of body has been dehydrated for several days, and now brain is!

Mild exercise is also a must for arthritics. They may be very limited to what they can do, but any movement is helpful, even gentle stretching. We lose what we do not use! Sitting with feet on a mini-trampoline while someone else jumps on it is a great aid in exercising lymphatic glands when other normal exercise is limited. I hope this is helpful in your support of people who suffer from arthritis. As you know, rheumatoid arthritis is a common autoimmune disease. Glyconutrients are necessary fuel that immune system uses to counteract autoimmune diseases, so that right signals can be sent out between cells to modulate immune system back downward so body will stop attacking itself. It may sound complicated, but put simply, it spells RELIEF - and that's what people are looking for. It is best for overall health when that can be attained through improved nutrition instead of toxic drugs. Carol Koester
