Press Release - July 11th, 2006 Arthritis Treatment Considered "Holy Grail" of Joint Repair wins Innovation Award from the National Institutes of Health. An arthritis treatment from the jungles of South America - the medical breakthrough comes straight from nature and targets genes that regulate joint repair. Reparagen capsules could ease the pain of millions who suffer from arthritis, lost mobility and flexibility and injury repair.
An arthritis treatment from the mountains and jungles of South America, thanks to the work of Professors at Albany Medical College and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. The medical breakthrough comes straight from nature and targets genes that regulate joint repair. "What this represents is the Holy Grail in terms of joint repair," says Dr. Mark Miller of Albany Medical College. "For the first time we've been able to activate the process that repairs joints." Who would benefit from reparagen? "Anyone who has creaky sore joints, athletes, baby boomers," says Dr. Miller. Dr. Miller calls his incredible discovery Reparagen, because it repairs damage by turning certain genes on, or off. The Reparagen capsules combine Vincariaâ, a patented extract of Uncaria guianensis from the Peruvian Jungle, and RNI 249, an extract from a vegetable, Lepidium meyenii, farmed in the Andes Mountains. Dr. Miller is a Professor of Pediatrics and Cardiovascular Sciences at Albany Medical College, and the discovery caps ten years of research. The research was honored with a Research Innovation Award from the NIH and was the breakthrough was recently published in BioMed Central’s journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (download the publication here "Its tremendously rewarding to have something that's innovative...it achieves something that nothing else has done before, Dr. Miller says. Dr. Miller says think of arthritis as a brick wall that has had some bricks knocked right out of it. Reparagen creates new bricks and calls a bricklayer to the site to put bricks back in the wall. The Vincariaâ shuts down 35 destructive genes that tell the body to break down cartilage. "This actually stops the guy who's knocking down the bricks," says Dr. Miller. The RNI 249 triggers a repair gene called "IGF-1." Dr. Miller says, "and this activates the guy who's the brick layer." "So what it does is switches off the bad guys and turns on the good guy for repair," says Dr. Miller. One bottle of Reparagen costs 28 dollars, and it is so new it is only being sold online at www.reparagen.com. Dr. Miller says the natural medicine also shows promise for other medical conditions that are made worse by inflammation, or the body's inability to repair damage; conditions such as heart failure and stroke. |
