Resveratrol put my arthritis in remission. It might work for you too!

Hello!

I HAVE RA FOR 5 YEARS. I STAYED ON NOT HEAVY DUTY DRUGS. Doctors are surprised that I HAVEN'T DEVELOPED ANY DAMAGES TO MY JOINTS. MY BLOOD TEST SHOWS A BAD PROGNOSIS FOR ME. Well, I thought it is a healthy diet and exercise, also drugs ( I am sure it all counts). I also drank a lot of red wine. This summer we switched to white wine and my pain became soooo severe as never before. I thought about what I changed in my diet  and came to conclusion that nothing except for the type of wine. So I poured a glass of red wine with dinner. Next morning I woke up with no pain or stiffness. So I went on Internet and found out that the others noticed the same effect red one had on their arthritis. I tried resveratrol and it works!!!! I STOPPED TAKING DRUGS. It has been almost 3 weeks since I stopped. I would like to see what will happen after all the drugs will get out of my system. Before I could skip the drugs only for 3-5 days but I WASN'T having red wine every day and didn't take resveratrol.

I WILL LET YOU KNOW if somebody is interested in my experiment. Doctors give you drugs and you can't drink alcohol with most of them. That is why a lot of people never discovered it I guess. I was dating people after I divorced and went out a lot. I LIKE RED WINE and this is how I accidently discovered my relief. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT WORKS and if it works long term (but it works for 5 years already). But isn't it the same with drugs except that drugs have dangerous side effects. I AM HAPPY about having an option of non-alcoholic resveratrol. Most people I told didn't believe me in my theory. We'll see.

I use Longevinex and like it. Based on the writer's description, it seems likely to be Longevinex or maybe Nature's Way. One commented he uses 98 purity that works, and

I think there are a couple of good brands of those as well. (Id avoid Walgreens for now since it is only 25% pure)

I wonder how much the writer used. I know people who have positive results using between 100mg and 400mg of Longevinex a day.

A common dose is to take 5mg/kg as Dr. Sinclair seems to have done. So a 175 pound man would take 400mg a day (200 in morning and 200 in evening -- probably with food). Some think you should move to 500mg/day while  others claim benefits at the 100-200mg range.  It might be a good idea not to start at 500mg due to a possible upset stomach, but that depends on the person.

It seems that most under 30 don't notice much difference. I'm also not sure it is good for women under 40, so check with a doctor. Unfortunately, many doctors don't know much yet and so might say to wait. I hope we will learn more in 2009. 

Hello:

Thank you for the reply.

I have not got any reply from the writer so I researched and used "REVATROL" brand and got good results. I tried other brand but unfortunately my labs were not good so I  continued with the Revatrol brand.

In the revatrol brand other than the Resveratrol 200 mg it contains Alpha lipoic acid 100 mg , quercetin dihydrate 100 mg and Acetyl L-Carnitine HCL 100mg. Actually I do not know if these contents are good or bad but have wait and see.

Thanks

Recently resveratrol was featured in a 60 minutes piece and due to demand supplies from retail stores have been difficult to obtain.  I was taking Resvintrol brand that I purchased at $20 for eighty capsules from Costco online.  They no longer have it in stock.  Be careful where you buy the capsules.  Resveratrol is heat and light sensitive.  Packaging is key.  I recently bought pure resveratrol from Megaresveratrol in CT.  The packaging is good and their supplies are derived directly from plant roots.  If you buy the 50% pure it will have a bitter and earthy taste.  So if you can afford it buy the capsules 100% pure.  I think that you will be happy with the quality.  They were the original suppliers to Dr. Sinclair during his studies at Harvard.

Regardless of what you are told.  There is no scientific evidence that supports the idea that resveratrol is an antioxidant.  Many brands sell it as such and what they base their advertising on is a mystery to me.  You can contact me directly if you like at grant@grantsprings.com.

 Remeber to give it some time...at least 4 months as far as arthrits is concerned.  Keep taking your regular medicine for pain.  Resveratrol does not treat arthritis pain.... instead it treats the underlying cause of the disease.  Good luck and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks for mentioning the brand you took. Could you also mention how much you took a day?

I noticed energy increases after a week but some other gains required months. Interesting how this is working.
