Decades ago, researchers observed that the
coast-dwelling Maori--the native people of New Zealand--had a far
lower incidence of arthritis-related disease than those Maori who
lived inland. In fact,those living inland had the same incidence
of arthritis as the New Zealanders of European origin. After years
of studying this medical phenomenon, researchers discovered that
the incredibly low incidence of arthritis was due to diet--in particular,
to the Maori's consumption of green-lipped mussels.There was something
in this New Zealand delicacy that reduced arthritis by decreasing
inflammation. Here, in The Inflammation Revolution, is the story
of this exciting discovery.
Since the early 1990s, clinical studies have
shown that specific lipids found in green-lipped mussels are highly
effective anti-inflammatories in the treatment of arthritis. Studies
have also shown that these marine lipids offer protective benefits
to blood vessels and bone joints. The lipids may even provide benefits
to other organs, such as the skin, the bronchi, and the gastrointestinal
tract. As a result of this research, over the last few years, the
use of green-lipped mussel lipids has increased throughout Australia
and Asia. Now, this natural product has made its way to North America--apparently,
just in time.
With the newly found risks of many anti-inflammatory
prescription drugs continuing to make headlines, it has become vital
for millions of arthritis sufferers to find safer options. In The
Inflammation Revolution, readers can learn how marine lipids work;
what scientific studies have shown about their use; and, most important,
how this "miracle from the sea" can be used to safely and effectively
relieve the pain of arthritis.
