Sharks Take A Bite Out of Joint Pain
16 Oct 2006
Every year in coastal regions of the U.S. 1,500 people are killed by lightning and only 12 by sharks. During that same time worldwide, more people are killed by elephants, crocodiles and insect stings than sharks. Yet, sharks get the scary headlines. So it’s time to give sharks some credit when they’re responsible for a medication that’s taking a big bite out of bone and joint pain.
Today it’s refreshing to see a Canadian company surviving when many are lost to international corporations. But Technologies Inc of Edmonton has bucked this trend by innovative research. Now, they’ve developed a new remedy CELL-fx" to help fight the onset of osteoarthritis and relieving symptoms of bone and joint pain.
CELLl-fx is an extract of shark cartilage rich in chondroitin sulfate, a naturally occurring critical building block of cartilage. It’s the gradual and progressive deterioration of cartilage that causes inflammation and prevents joints from moving smoothly. And when cartilage is no longer present bones grind on bones causing intense joint pain.
A recent independent analysis of 7 controlled clinical trials involving 703 patients indicated that chondroitin sulfate relieved osteoarthritis pain symptoms by 50 percent.
CELL-fx is distinguished from other chondroitin sulfate products because it’s 100 percent soluble and readily available for absorption. And it’s been shown to exhibit a 10 fold increase in potency because it’s standardized using a patented process known as Chemical and Biological finger Printing. This technology ensures measurable chemical and biological consistency from batch to batch.
CV Technologies has partnered with our Canadian Football League teams to put CELL-fx to the ultimate test. How much pain is relieved by CELL-fx on the football fields of this country.
The Argos, Eskimos, Stampeders, Lions and Ticats, announced they will use CELL-fx to treat player injuries. It hard to envision a more practical test when you consider the battering players receive during each game.
Matt Dunigan, a former CFL all star quarterback and TSN analyst, knows all about the rigors of this sport. He says playing for 14 years and winning two grey cups afforded him wonderful experiences for a competitive athlete. He’s recently been inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. But he paid a huge price for being knocked off his feet by 280 pound linemen.
During those years Dunigan had 11 operations for broken bones, dislocations, lacerations, muscle tears and other injuries. Now, he says with a grin, that he "prefers to take a pass on pain". He knows that CELL-fx will help minimize his bone and joint pain so he can continue an active lifestyle without the serious side effects of prescription drugs.
For years the pain of osteoarthritis has been eased by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). But every year in North America over 75,000 patients are admitted to hospital with gastro-intestinal complications due to NSAID. And in Canada 2,000 people die annually from their use, often due to gastric hemorrhage.
Since CELL-fx is a natural product it is safe and has no known side-effects or drug interactions.
CELL-fx can be helpful to aging individuals who want to maintain healthy bones and joints. Or for those who already are suffering from the pain of osteoarthritis. CELL-fx may also help to prevent arthritis in those who engage in repetitive stressful activities such as jogging.
The secret of treating osteoarthritis is not to let this problem get beyond the point of no return. Once you lose all the cartilage and you can hear and feel bones grinding on bone the game is lost. At this point the only solution is a new hip or knee replacement.
Prevention is better than waiting for this to happen. Having a little shark in you restores chondroitin sulfate to normal levels and inhibits the breakdown of cartilage. And it stimulates the manufacture of collagen, a major constituent of cartilage.
The recommended dose is two tablets of CELL-fx daily. Hopefully having a little shark in CFL players will keep them in good shape for the annual Grey Cup game. And if Cell-fx is a good insurance policy for the trauma received by CFL players think of what it can do for us lesser mortals.
