My Top Ten Article List:

1. Whether or not weather affects your arthritis pain?

Excerpt: “Does weather really affect the severity of your joint pain? Though, I’ve often wondered this myself, intuitively I’ve often felt quite sure that there is a relationship between weather conditions and my own joint pain. In fact, most people with arthritis assert with conviction that weather conditions do influence the severity of their pain (Laborde et al, 1986).”

2. Osteoarthritis and knee pain increase risk of falls in elderly

Excerpt: “When I think back to my geriatrics classes in medical school, I can vividly recall the lectures by one of the most charistmatic teachers at my university.  He was a geriatrician and an associate clinical professor at my medical school  He had a concept that he called, “the giants of geriatrics.”

3. CLA may be a cure-all for the rodent population, but does it actually work for humans?

Excerpt: “Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a mixture of isomers of linoleic acid which is found naturally in animal products of ruminant (any of the hoofed animals) sources including meat and diary products. Though CLA is a trans fat, many researchers claim that unlike other trans fatty acids, it is not actually harmful. “

Glucosamine supplements are primarily used by people who suffer from arthritis or who take the supplement to maintain their joint health. Since consumer use of glucosamine is increasing, it’s important that consumers are well informed about the different types of glucosamine as well as the latest research on glucosamine.”

7. Balneotherapy for osteoarthritis.
