According to the CDC, OA of the knee is one of five leading causes of disability among adults. About 80% of people with OA have some degree of movement limitation and 25% cannot perform major activities of daily living.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune condition, is a chronic inflammatory polyarthritis, meaning that it manifests in multiple joints of the body. The inflammatory process primarily affects the lining of the joints (synovial membrane), but it can also affect other organs. The inflamed synovium leads to erosions of the cartilage and bone and sometimes to joint deformity. Pain, swelling, and redness are common joint manifestations.
Chapter Seven of Dr. Saul’s book, coauthored with Drs. Abram Hoffer and Harold Foster, entitled “Niacin: The Real Story,” discusses reversing arthritis with niacinamide. It’s an amazing story.

Thank you. That was interesting. As a guitar player I’m doing everything I can to reduce the arthritis slowly creeping into my hands. Looks like I need more vitamin c, b and a different form of niacin. And being 58 I’m already well into menopause. Ugh.
