September is Arthritis Month
Arthritis includes over 100 diseases that cause inflammation in joints or other areas of the body. These diseases are grouped into two different categories: osteoarthritis (most common, causes a breakdown in cartilage) and inflammatory arthritis (autoimmune disorder). Arthritis can involve almost any part of the body, though it most often affects hips, knees, the spine, and fingers. It’s a chronic condition, affecting people on a constant or recurring basis over months, years, or even a lifetime. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and can lead to disability over time. Talk to your pharmacist about how they can help!
New Product Review: Entropy-Wave
Introducing the world’s first Anti-oxidizing Energy Machine from Singapore, the Entropy-Wave. Chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes contribute to 71% of global deaths, often linked to our daily diet. This innovative home appliance uses patented Ultra-Low-Frequency (ULF) electromagnetic waves to energize water molecules, creating water clusters with free electrons. When consumed, these free electrons power anti-oxidizing functions and supercharge metabolism. The excess electrons act as antioxidants, promoting better cholesterol levels, fat burn, and liver protection from alcohol and fructose metabolism. Enjoy better-tasting, healthier beverages while boosting immunity and organ functions with pure, powerful energy.
