I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.

I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!

I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.

Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

Predictor Found For Severe Osteoarthritis

Severe osteoarthritis and replacement of hip or knee joints can now be predicted by checking levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1). This particular protein is expressed in cartilage and connective tissues.

A study of 912 Italians, 60 of whom had severe osteoarthritis that led to a knee or hip replacement, found that patients who started with high amounts of VCAM-1 were most likely to undergo joint replacement.

This study is the first to find a laboratory biomarker, which is an early diagnosis of a disease before clinical symptoms appear, for severe osteoarthritis risk. Understanding the prediction can help in identifying people who would benefit from exercise, strength training, and weight loss.
