The secret to stopping your knee pain is using a combination of the following natural cures, employed together, to break and stop your Inflammation Pain Cycle.

1. Natural Anti-Inflammatories with Healthy-Joint Nutrients
2. Ice or Heat and an Instant Pain-Relief Spray
3. Pain-Relief Knee Exercises
4. Avoiding the Seven Evil Inflammatory Foods

Start with natural anti-inflammatories ...

Super Healthy-Joint Nutrients

Natural anti-inflammatories relieve your knee arthritis pain and inflammation without the side-effects of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. At the same time, they protect and help to re-grow cartilage.

Unfortunately, most people take anti-inflammatory drugs called NSAIDs, instead. You know them as Motrin, Aleve and Advil - and there are hundreds of others on the market.

NSAIDs have serious and potentially-lethal side-effects including bleeding ulcers, kidney failure and heart attacks. Additionally, they can accelerate your knee arthritis as much as three (or more) times faster than if you attempted no treatment at all.

Natural Anti-Inflammatories Choices

As most people have discovered, Glucosamine and Chondroitin, by themselves, are not enough to break your knee pain Inflammation Cycle. These super-nutrients need to be combined with other natural anti-inflammatories to be effective. I do provide a list of the other helpful nutrients but this information is prevented from public display on the Internet - instead, please find it on page 15 to 17 in the Knee Pain Cure book. Once you start taking natural anti-inflammatories, add in ice treatments and instant knee pain-relief sprays.

Instant Knee Arthritis Pain-Relief with Ice, Heat and Sprays

Ice or heat treatments and arthritis pain-relief sprays may be old-fashioned treatments, but they are extremely effective in giving you instant knee pain-relief, if used the right way.

It is important to try and get yourself out-of-pain as quickly as possible in order to break your knee arthritis Inflammation Pain Cycle.

Most people with chronic knee pain feel better with ice treatments rather than with heat. Try both and see which is right for you.

Ice Your Knees for 15-20 minutes (max!), four to six times a day.

Applying ice for longer than 20 minutes is not effective because, after that, paradoxically, the body starts increasing the blood flow to the iced area which actually heats-up the joint. Use Real Ice in a Bag with Water and some form of compression like a tensor bandage.

Instant Knee Freeze Machine: The Cryo Cuff

The Cryo Cuff is what many professional athletes use on the sidelines to ice their knees. The Cryo-Cuff is an ice-and-water thermos attached to a cuff that wraps around your knee. Make sure you buy the pump which automatically circulates the cold ice water. For more information on where to buy a Cryo Cuff, see the The Supplement and Remedies Resource Guide on page 69 in the Knee Pain Cure book.

Heat

If you feel better with heat instead of ice then:

• Apply moist heat for 20-30 minutes or more. Put a towel or thin cloth under your heat pack to prevent burns.
• Use proper moist heat-packs - not dry heat from an electric heating pad.The water really helps transfer the heat to your knee(s).
• Apply heat 4 to 6 times a day - then reduce the frequency as you feel better.
• Wear compression sports apparel or knee sleeves to keep your knee(s) warm.

Add an instant knee pain-relief spray to your ice or heat treatments.

Instant Knee Pain-Relief Spray: Brazilian Heat

The best spray that I've found is called Brazilian Heat with 7% Brazilian menthol and other essential organic oils.

Spray it on 4 to 6 times a day (as needed) in combination with your ice or heat for maximum knee-pain relief.

Once you've started taking your natural anti-inflammatories; doing your regular icings (or using heat); and, applying instant pain-relief spray, it's time to start some gentle knee pain-relief exercises ...

Knee Arthritis Pain-Relief Exercises

Most of us have been told: You need to exercise; working out will help your knee pain. That's a great idea - except for the fact that most knee exercises hurt!

In fact, your knee pain fires a protective nerve circuit that stops you from contracting your thigh muscles (quadriceps). There are simple and easy knee exercises that avoid this protective circuit and help your knee muscles start contracting properly again.

Rule #1 - If an exercise or activity flares your knee pain - don't do it!

Bike Away Your Knee Pain

Biking is one of the best and most gentle ways to pump nutrient-rich joint fluid to your knee cartilage.

First, get on an exercise bike. Set the level at the lowest intensity. Then, just spin the pedals without any resistance. Please check that the seat height is such that, at the bottom of your rotation, your knee is almost-but-not-quite fully straight or extended. If that almost-straight leg position is still painful for your knee, lower the seat placement again. You should be able to spin the pedals with little or no effort - all you're trying to do, for now, is nourish your knee joints.

Tai Chi or Qi Gong

Both these ancient Chinese arts combine slow rhythmic movements with meditation. They help both your local knee pain and inflammation while boosting the painkillers (endorphins) in your brain. Tai Chi or Qi Gong are most effective when done for 30-60 minutes, everyday.

Walking

Walking daily helps reduce inflammation and pain by gently moving your knees. Start slowly and see if you can build up to 30 minutes to 1 hour. Do not walk through pain, as that actually makes the Inflammation Pain Cycle worse.

Avoid Eating the Seven Evil Inflammatory Foods

Take these evil foods out of your diet for dramatic knee pain relief:

1. Toxic fats
2. Sugar
3. Nightshades
4. Artificial Sweeteners
5. Vegetable Oils
6. Beef and Dairy -
7. Wheat and Flour

Other Knee Arthritis Pain-Relief Treatments

Knee Braces - There are good braces for knee arthritis - but they are effective only if your arthritis is on one side of your knee or the other (lateral or medial compartment). These types of braces are called unloaders and are usually best custom-fitted by a qualified medical professional.

Knee Therapy (Physical Therapy) - Sometimes physiotherapy is quite effective in helping break the Arthritis Pain and Inflammation Cycle. Make sure that you see a qualified physical therapist.

Knee Rehabilitation - This is actually the next step of your knee arthritis pain-relief treatment - but that's not until you've broken the Inflammation Pain Cycle ... you can't actually start strengthening your knee until your knee pain has gone away.

Cortisone Injections - These are not recommended as first-line treatments because cortisone accelerates knee arthritis by turning off your cartilage cells.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections - I would strongly suggest that you are much better off taking these wonderful healthy joint nutrients in a natural anti-inflammatory supplement.

Micro-Fracture Surgery - Do not get this type of surgery - the results have been poor! The author had one and would not recommend it to anyone

Knee Replacement Surgery - This is a last-resort step and it should only be considered if all else fails. In my clinical experience, most people do, in fact, find knee arthritis pain relief with Natural Combination Therapy avoiding needless knee replacement surgery.
