Further investigation turned up a supplier that packaged resveratrol in blister packs and recommended they be kept in the dark at room temperature or lower. I took this new supply of resveratrol consistently and hoped for some results. I was still popping a couple of naproxem every day and was keeping healthy exercising. Then something unexpected happened. After being on resveratrol for about six months it came to me. I was forgetting to take the naproxem and there was no pain or stiffness. At first the results were not appreciated so my exercise routines became more rigorous. Then I decided to play full court basketball to see how my joints would hold out. In the past playing even for a short period caused significant pain and stiffness. This time there was the some muscle tightness and pain just like it would have been if I was twenty years younger. This startled me. Being a scientist I investigated whether resveratrol was known to have any affects on arthritis.


Resveratrol is being investigated as a treatment for arthritis. Researchers working with rabbits found that resveratrol shut down the production of HLA-DR4 the compound known to lead to joint deterioration in arthritis patients. Could it be true? Had I found a treatment by accident? The answer was an emphatic, yes. The results amazed me and have inspired me to write this article so this information can be shared with others.


Now it needs to be made clear that the resveratrol was taken for over six months before any results were realized. If you do have arthritis it has developed slowly and your joints are deteriorated. My theory is that it takes time to begin to heal all that damage. Now it may be something other than resveratrol that resulted in my arthritis remission. However, you can not convince me otherwise. Others may or may not experience the same results as myself and for older individuals resveratrol may have little or no effect.


In closing let me add that I do not sell resveratrol or have some ulterior motive for writing this article other than to share my experience. All arthritis sufferers should consider giving resveratrol a shot. Who knows what could happen. The only side effect is that my wallet is bit lighter. It is expensive and the blister packs are recommended because you do not want to run the risk that the product will be denatured by heat or light. This is my way of paying it forward. Please share this information or article with someone who can really use it, an arthritis sufferer.
