For example my info shows that google for example will rank a \r\nsite lower if it detects AdSense on the site. This isn\'t exclusive to Google \r\neither. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo, what options do you have?\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe best solution I have found is to obfuscate the code. Essentially hiding \r\nthe code Google gives you so that a spider can\'t recognize it. Now, by a \r\ntechnical definition you aren\'t altering the code but you are changing it. To \r\nwrap your head around this concept a somewhat relevant example would be to take \r\na sentence and translate it into another language. You aren\'t altering the \r\nsentence but you are changing it. It is a pretty fine line, this gets a bit \r\nfuzzy.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nHere is the process:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYou take all the code Google gives you and you enter it into this tool that \r\ntakes the code and encrypts it. <a href=\"http://scriptasylum.com/tutorials/encdec/encode-decode.html\" target=\"_blank\">http://scriptasylum.com/tutorials/encdec/encode-decode.html</a> \r\nthis takes the code and replaces it with gibberish.

However, I have found that the \r\nsearch engines can index the .js file so unless you encode it the spiders know \r\nthat it is AdSense code and the same ranking factors we discussed earlier apply.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nNow, as I said before this is a bit fuzzy. It may or may not violate Google\'s \r\nTerms of Service. So, like everything else discussed in this site, you need to \r\nmake your own decisions. I am only telling you a tactic that I am aware of and \r\nsince this co-op is \'no holds barred\' I am not holding anything back.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nI can say that I haven\'t had any complaints from Google regarding this tactic \r\nand I have used it for over a year. But your results may differ.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nI will make a video that shows the creation and use of the .js file so there \r\nis no confusion as to how this process is done.

And \r\nthat 1 topic would give me all the info I needed. So that is where you need to \r\nfocus your energy, finding those tried and true topics that have tested well. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nMoon Palace Sunrise\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSunrise Adams\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSunrise Sunset\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThose are some of the sample kws that Wordze has as output. Now, some of you \r\nmay see those kws and think they aren\'t worth anything...I would caution against \r\nsuch thoughts. I have noticed a pattern with many users that if you are affected \r\nyou would be wise to break. 1. Basing your thoughts/actions on previous guru\'s \r\nadvice. 2. Focusing on the wrong details with your efforts\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nLet me explain. Many of you have built sites slowly over time, you had \r\ncontrol over all the details, made all the decisions, and made slow and steady \r\nprogress. Because you had so much to do you looked elsewhere for acceptable \r\nadvice on what to do, what to focus on, etc. There is nothing wrong with that \r\nand it is a perfectly acceptable strategy however it is different than the \r\nstrategy you need to use with WCB.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nWith WCB you should know the topics you are building sites for, you should \r\ntest and track, you should pay attention to traffic levels. However, you \r\nshouldn\'t really know the individual kws used on your sites, you shouldn\'t need \r\nto look at every page of WCB. While it is important to pay attention to your \r\nearly sites the process of building in volume requires certain other tradeoffs.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nBack to the topic at hand: topics :)\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe real answer is that as long as your topic isn\'t WAY to \r\ncompetitive:&quot;loans, money, weight loss, sex&quot; or way to narrow: &quot;solid white \r\nalaskan sheep dog for sale in wyoming&quot; you should be fine. Narrow topics \r\nshouldn\'t be much of a problem because you need to let wordze do your kw \r\nresearch for you. This is no longer a job for you.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOtherwise the only real tried and true way to know the best topics to use is \r\nto build a site on the topic. Most topics should do well, and some will do \r\nphenomenal and surprise you. But you won\'t be able to predict which ones until \r\nyou use them.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nI hope this helped.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThanks M<br />\r\n</p>\r\n','<p class=\"lead\" align=\"left\">\r\nThis article will continue our discussion of topics to \r\nuse while building.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nI hope it was clear from Part 1 that almost any topic can be used to build a \r\nsuccessful site.

First obtain the .zip package from your member account at: <a href=\"http://www.warchestbuilder.com/clients\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.warchestbuilder.com/clients</a>. </p>\r\n<p>Once  you have it, unzip it on your hard drive. You should have a folder  similar to \\wcbv2k3_php with a subdirectory named \\wcbv2k3 or similar.  Change to that directory. There should be 4 subdirectories inside that  named: docs, install, wcb and wcbemp.</p>\r\n<p>You will need to upload the  install, wcb and wcbemp directories completely to your production  server (where you want the War Chest Builder). It is recommended that  you use a good FTP program such as WS_FTP. When using WS_FTP make sure  you turn off \'force lowercase\', as many files are case sensitive. Also  checkmark the Auto mode (for ASCII/BINARY). Although php files are  normally uploaded as ASCII, you must upload the War Chest Builder php  files as BINARY due to encoding. If you have the .php extension listed  in the ASCII extensions list, then remove it before uploading. (See the  Options -&gt; Extensions tab in WS_FTP).</p>\r\n<p>You need to upload the  install, wcb and wcbemp directories to your web site home directory.  You need to be able to access from a web browser as <a href=\"http://yourdomain.com/wcb\" target=\"_blank\">http://yourdomain.com/wcb</a> <a href=\"http://yourdomain.com/install\" target=\"_blank\">http://yourdomain.com/install</a> and <a href=\"http://yourdomain.com/wcbemp\" target=\"_blank\">http://yourdomain.com/wcbemp</a> . The wcbemp directory is for employees only. This is where they  perform keyword checking operations and is separate from the main  builder.</p>\r\n<p>Before proceeding you should setup the MySQL database to  be used by the War Chest Builder. If you are using cPanel for a control  panel you can do it from there fairly easily. Login to your site\'s  cPanel interface, typically <a href=\"http://yourdomain.com:2083\" target=\"_blank\">http://yourdomain.com:2083</a> or <a href=\"https://yourdomain.com:2083\" target=\"_blank\">https://yourdomain.com:2083</a> </p>\r\n<p>Click  on the MySQL icon. At the top of the page you can enter a name for the  new database. Click \'Create Database\'. Once it is created you need to  add a user to it. If there are no usernames already listed you can add  a new user and password to use. Look for the Current Users section.  Enter a username and password and click \'Create User\'. Once created you  will need to add that user to the new database you created. Scroll down  to \'Add Users To Your Databases\'. Select the username from the list box  on the left side and select the database name from the list box on the  right side. Checkmark All for privileges and click \'Add User To  Database\'.</p>\r\n<p>It is important that you note the username and  database name, as they will not be as entered. They begin with the site  username followed by an underscore _ then the name you chose. Long  names are chopped off by cPanel. It is extremely important you use the  correct ones in the installer configuration because your license may  only allow 1 install, and reloading the page in the event of an error  may exceed your install count. If that happens to you, let us know  immediately.</p>\r\n<p>Before running the install, you will need to set  permissions on several directories and files. The list is in the  /install/perms.txt file. All of the directories and files in that list  need to be set to chmod 777 or rwxrwxrwx. After successful installation  the install dir can be set to chmod 400 or r-------- and the wcb and  wcbemp can be set to chmod 755 or rwxr-xr-x.</p>\r\n<p>If you are  comfortable using SSH (secure shell) you can optionally run the first  step of the install from shell and the permissions will be  automatically set. If you run the first step from a web browser it will  attempt to set them, but in most cases php does not have permission to  change permissions when run from a web browser. Setting the permissions  manually via FTP is the best way, although somewhat tedious.</p>\r\n<p>To  run the first step from SSH, login to your web site using the web site  username and password (not as root). If SSH is not enabled for the  site, enable it first. If you are not running cPanel, you can manually  enable it by editing /etc/passwd and finding the username, then  changing the shell at the end of the line. It will look similar to  this:  username:x:597:597:username:/home/username/:/sbin/nologin  or  username:x:597:597:username:/home/username/:/bin/false</p>\r\n<p>Change it to:  username:x:597:597:username:/home/username/:/bin/bash</p>\r\n<p>Make sure you change username with the real username. If you\'re not comfortable with doing this ask your server administrator.</p>\r\n<p>Once  SSH is enabled for the site user, login using that username and  password. Then change to the install directory. When you login you  should be in /home/username. To verify that, type pwd and press enter.  Your home directory should be either www or public_html. If you do a  directory listing you may see both, one is the real directory and one  is a symlink that simply points to the other. So, essentially www and  public_html are the same. To get a directory list type:  ls -l and press enter. (i.e. lowercase Ls  dash lowercase L).</p>\r\n<p>So  type cd www/install or cd public_html/install and press enter. You  should not get an error. If you get an error, it may be you\'re in the  wrong dir or the install dir does not exist.</p>\r\n<p>Once in the install  dir, type php index.php and press enter to execute it. After it  finishes you can go to step 2 from your web browser by going to: <a href=\"http://yourdomain.com/install/step2.php\" target=\"_blank\">http://yourdomain.com/install/step2.php</a></p>\r\n<p>From there on, follow the instructions that are displayed in each step.</p>\r\n<p>See  the Getting Started section for information about where to get your  accounts for the Reseller Club domain registrar, WordZe keyword search  tool and Flickr photos. The account data for these will be asked for  during the installation. You can complete the installation without this  data. However, you will need to manually edit the configuration files  to add them later. You should not attempt to re-run the installer.</p>\r\n<p>Near  the last step of the installation, the installer will attempt to setup  the cron jobs for the War Chest Builder. In many cases, the server will  not allow php to execute the command. If you do not see a list of cron  jobs on that page, then it did not work. In that case you will need to  set them up from SSH. Login to your site using the site\'s username and  password (not root). Then cd www/wcb/temp and then type: crontab  cronjobs.txt and press enter.</p>\r\n<p>It should not return any output. To  verify they were setup, type crontab -l and press enter. (i.e.  lowercase L). It should list all of the cron jobs.

We\'ll discuss each one separately. The main configuration files are /wcb/config.php and /wcb/asgen/config.php which should already have been setup by the installation process. There are a few variables that may still need to be configured, if the information was not provided during the install.<p>It is important to note that these two (2) configuration files do have similar variables in them, but should not be copied to each other, otherwise the builder will not function. So when editing and uploading these, make sure you are overwriting the correct one.<p>FILE: /wcb/config.php<p>This is the primary configuration file and is shared by many scripts. Take a look at the contents below. We\'ll briefly cover each variable. If you do not know what a variable is or you are not familiar with php, do not worry, it is a very simple file to modify, as it is just plain text. <p>In php we store information in a variable. A variable is just a pointer to a memory location in the computer. The term variable means a value that can be changed at any time. Variables in php normally begin with a dollar symbol $ followed by a unique name, such as $var_name. To assign it a value we use an equals sign = then put the data to the right of it. Numbers do not need quotes, but text requires them. So we can assign a value to our example variable like this:\r\n$var_name = \"Text Value\";<p>or<p>$var_name = 123;<p>Notice the ; (semi-colon) at the end of the line. These are required to signify the end of the line for php. In the War Chest Builder the configuration files are actually php classes. We will not get into details about classes, except to say the difference is how we create variables. In a class the variables start with the word var then the normal assignment, like this:<p>var $var_name = \"Value\";<p>This is the format used in the configuration files for the War Chest Builder.

The majority of these values will be set when the installer is run, providing you enter the data in the form. Many of these are self-explanatory for some people familiar with the system, cPanel and other aspects of web server administration. But, for those that are not familiar we will discuss each variable briefly. The variables in this single configuration file actually control many different subsystems in the builder and how sites are created and generated on hosting servers.<p>The following variables define the login information for the War Chest Builder database and the actual database name. The database must be created as an empty database before the installation is run. The $dbhost should be set to localhost, normally. There are rare cases where a separate database server is used. In that case you would enter the server name, or domain name for the MySQL server. An example could be: mysql.yourserver.com. Check with your hosting provider for details.\r\n \r\nvar $dbuser=\"database_username\";\r\nvar $dbpass=\"database_password\";\r\nvar $dbhost=\"localhost\";\r\nvar $dbname=\"database_name\";<p>If your MySQL server uses a non-standard port (other than port 3306) then the port will need to be specified at the end of the $dbhost name separated by a colon. Examples:\r\nvar $dbhost=\"localhost:1234\";\r\nvar $dbhost=\"mysql.yourserver.com:1234\";<p>Most standard RedHat Linux servers use port 3306 by default, and as such the port does not need to be specified. It is important to note that on servers containing cPanel for a control panel, the MySQL database names and usernames are different than a normal Linux server without a control panel. The same may be true with other control panels such as Plesk.<p>With cPanel database names start with the web site username followed by an underscore such as username_ then followed by the actual database username. As an example if the web site user is marketwiz and the database username is marketw then the cPanel database username becomes marketwiz_marketw and the same is true for the database name. If the database name is warchest then the cPanel database name would be marketwiz_warchest. But, cPanel also chops off names so the example may end up being marketwiz_warches. So when you create usernames and databases make sure you pay attention to whether or not cPanel has chopped it off.<p>It is important that the database details are correct before running the installer. Each software license has a limited number of installs allowed, usually 1. If you have to reload the installer due to a MySQL error, your installer may not run. Contact us if you have issues with that.<p>For the following physical directory paths you must use the full path, not a relative path.<p>$basedir should be set to the physical system path of the installation directory. Each server is different so your path be different than the \'norm\' (as shown). You may have /home/username/www/wcb or /site1/www/username/wcb for example.\r\nvar $basedir=\"/home/username/public_html/wcb\";<p>$batchdir should point to the /wcb/batch_files directory. This directory is used for storing files related to each batch process.\r\n	var $batchdir=\"/home/username/public_html/wcb/batch_files\";<p>$tempdir should point to the /wcb/temp directory. This directory is used for temporary files for many subsystems.

Most Linux servers use sendmail or qmail. For both, the default path should work. The --t is required for sendmail. If you\'re not sure what the path is, you can login to your server using SSH and type whereis sendmail  or locate sendmail.\r\n	var $mailprog=\"/usr/sbin/sendmail -t\";<p>$admin_email should be set to a valid email address. The current system does not actually send/receive any email. This is for future expansion.\r\n	var $admin_email=\"webmaster@yourdomain.com\";<p>$filterdir should be set the physical directory path of the /wcb/keyword/filter directory. You should not change this location. The files within that directory show up as checkboxes for the filter list in the builder.\r\n	var $filterdir=\"/home/username/public_html/wcb/keyword/filters\";<p>$max_kwt should be set to a fairly low value.

You can refer to the RedHat web site for more information about Linux configurations.<p>However, there are two (2) that may need to be changed if your server is not configured as standard.<p>$httpd_conf  is normally set to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf by default when Apache is setup on the server. This is the location of the Apache configuration file. For normal Apache installations, there are two (2) possible locations for this file, the default /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf for Apache 2 systems, typically. The other scripts that are uploaded automatically check both of the default locations, so changing this is only necessary if it is in a non-standard location.<p>\r\nThe $named_restart command may need to be changed if the DNS is not properly setup. The correct way to restart the DNS is using rndc reload. In some cases this command can fail, especially if the named process is not running.\r\n var $named_restart = \"rndc reload\";<p>To test this, login to the hosting server(s) using SSH (secure shell) as user root then type: rndc status  and press enter and see if it returns a status report. If it returns an error, then there is a problem with the DNS. You can try to start named manually by typing: /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start and press enter. Example:<p>[root@server ~]# rndc status\r\nrndc: connect failed: connection refused\r\n[root@server ~]#<p>[root@server ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start\r\nStarting named:                                            [  OK  ]\r\n[root@server ~]#<p>[root@server ~]# rndc status\r\nnumber of zones: 4\r\ndebug level: 0\r\nxfers running: 0\r\nxfers deferred: 0\r\nsoa queries in progress: 0\r\nquery logging is OFF\r\nserver is up and running\r\n[root@server ~]#<p>As a last resort you can simply set:\r\n $named_restart = \"killall --KILL named; /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start\";<p>The last option is not recommended, though, as it is much slower. The rndc reload is the fastest way to reload the DNS domain names, and is highly recommended.\r\n <p>The other configuration files mainly deal with the promotional tools. Those will be covered in a separate section.\r\n',' <p class=\"lead\" align=\"left\">Configuration Settings<p>Due to the complexity of the War Chest Builder, there are several separate configuration files.

You can select to update only a single template or all\r\ntemplates. You can also specify an individual hosting server to update,\r\nor to update all of them.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAn example use of the template update feature would be if you had to change your AdSense pub- ID (account ID)\r\nin your AdSense code for the pages. This enables you to make the change\r\nin just the page template. Then you upload the modified template file\r\nto the appropriate template subdirectory, then trigger the\r\ntemplate update.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nWhen you do a template update, the entire template subdirectory is re-uploaded to the hosting server. Then the\r\nbuilder will trigger each of the web sites on that hosting server to\r\nrebuild it\'s own pages. This is spread out over time to minimize the\r\nserver load on the hosting server. Typically, it will do 4 sites per\r\nhour. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nWhen the sites rebuild, the same content is reused, as far as the keywords and articles.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nTo change the keywords and articles, you need to do a \'Content Refresh\'\r\nfor the Update Type.

The deposit is applied to domain\r\nregistration fees. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThis is the first step in the site building\r\nprocess. You can build sites using another registrar and uploading a\r\ncsv file with the domain names and topics to build with.

You\r\nare highly encouraged to use the Reseller Club API for optimum results.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOnce\r\nyou get your account details, you will need to add that information\r\ninto the War Chest Builder interface.

From there you can start a new batch of topics to generate domains and sites for. If you wish to generate sites using existing domains, click the link that says \'Click here to upload a domain file (topic, domain) for a batch run.\' Note, the domains must be registered and their DNS settings should point them to the hosting server where they will be generated. The registrar should have tools for doing that. See the \'Uploading A Batch .csv\' section for more details.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nTo register new domains, use the main form. First select a profile to use. The profile should be set up prior to using this form. You may also select multiple profiles to use.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nIf you select multiple profiles, the domains will be spread out evenly (if even number of topics) among all of the hosting servers for the selected profiles.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe schedule can be set to 1 to complete in a single day, or spread out over as many days as desired by entering a number greater than 1. Set the start date either to today or a future date. The date format is YYYY-MM-DD. The builder will start after midnight on that day 12:01 AM. The time is relative to the system time on the production server (War Chest Builder server) which could be out of sync with your own timezone.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nNote, the builder is limited to the number it can actually process per day. Because every server is different, there is no magic formula to determine how many yours may handle. Typical results are up to 1000 per day max. The primary delay for building is the harvesting of phrases and articles. So the more keywords you use, the longer it will take for each site. In some circumstances you may only be able to build 100 per day, or even less. In the topics edit box enter the topics (or keywords) you wish to build for. Enter 1 topic per line. You can enter duplicate topics and get different domains registered for each one, if desired.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe domain order preference sets the priority for domain name generation. This uses the prefix and suffix words to form domain names. In the drop-down list box there are several variations that can be used. As an example, if you entered \'dog\' and \'cat\' for topics, and used \'black\' for prefix and \'book\' for suffix and the profile has .com for the domain suffix, then the following will be tried:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nblackdog.com\r\nblackcat.com\r\ndogbook.com\r\ncatbook.com\r\ndog.com\r\ncat.com\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe order it tries them in is determined by the selection for domain order preference. In the list box, KW is the topic and filler is either the prefix or suffix. So, if you wanted to try dogbook.com, catbook.com first then blackcat.com, blackdog.com second and dog.com, cat.com last, then you would select KWfiller.com -&gt; fillerKW.com -&gt; KW.com in the list.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe first available variation will be registered. Only one (1) domain will be  registered per topic. If you want to use two (2) profiles, then you should use a multiple of two (2) for the number of topics in order to spread them evenly (e.g. 2,4,6,8,100,320,500,etc.).\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe prefix and suffix filler words are used to form domain names containing the topic and the filler word. The filler words are optional. But, you may find more domain names available using variations based on the topic. You can enter the prefix and suffix words in the form, or select the \'Pull from database\' checkbox to use the ones contained in the database. If there are none in the database, go to the \'Filler Words\' section to add them. The Tag &amp; Ping Range sets the length of time you wish to spread out tag &amp; ping posts to the various sites.\r\nRecommended value is 5-14 days. You can post them all in the same day, if desired. However, many search engines will ignore them if there are too many posts for the same domain in one day. Spreading them out over time will ensure the search engines pick them up.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nNote that many of the tag &amp; ping sites can change from time to time. If you don\'t appear to be getting posts made to them, it is possible they changed their interface, causing the tag &amp; ping utility to fail. If this does happen, please let us know so we can make sure the utilities are up to date with all of the sites. Some may even disappear, altogether.\r\n</p>\r\nOnce you have filled out the form and click submit, the topics are run through the filtering system. Any topics matching a filtered word or phrase will be listed as being skipped from the domain registration API. This prevents inadvertently registering bad domains, such as pornographic terminology.

Toilet Paper (Added for comedic \r\neffect)\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n2. Build sites on those 5 topics. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYou may think I am a but crazy but those 5 sites should do well. To succeed \r\nwith WCB you will need to shift your perceptions and ways of doing things. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nMany different courses have existed that have had you do various research and \r\nin order for you to feel confident in their process they have given you \r\n[usually] numerical guidelines. You know what I am talking about. Only build \r\nsites with topics over 10,000. Look for a ppc over .10, etc.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThese methods, once tested, are usually arbitrary and if you follow them it \r\ndoesn\'t amount to anything but busy work. Now, there are exceptions to this of \r\ncourse, but most things follow this pattern.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo with WCB one of the main goals is to eliminate busy work. So, finding \r\ntopics is no exception. The exercise above serves to take the mystery out of \r\nfinding topics. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nNow, the more stubborn co-op members will resist this tooth and nail (I say \r\nthis with affection), but I have tested this many many times and if a few \r\nguidelines are followed your topics will be fine.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThis works because no matter how much research you do you will only be doing \r\nresearch for a few variables, and those variables interact with so many others \r\nthat it is quite difficult to get any reasonable results. For example:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nLets say you think of 3 topics and you can only afford to build 2 sites. So \r\nyou have your 3 topics: pay day loans microfiber glass\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nIf you do analysis to look at search volume and competition-which is a common \r\ntactic- you are getting some valuable data. However, that data doesn\'t take into \r\naccount a few other factors. Such as, indexing patterns and ranking variations \r\nbetween the various markets. You are essentially assuming that all 3 \r\ntopics/markets will get indexed (using similar tactics) at the same rate, that \r\nthe search engines treat those 3 topics the same, and that how a search engine \r\nranks a site for a particular topic will be the same across all 3 markets.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe reality is that there really isn\'t just 1 google. Instead google differs \r\nin its treatments of sites for many different markets. So 2 sites that are \r\nidentical except their topics won\'t necessarily be treated the same. This \r\nunderstanding can make that earlier research with competition levels \r\nunnecessary.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo for now compile your list of topics according to these guidelines:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n1. Is it a thing (noun)?\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n2....\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nShort list right?\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nFor now this is all you should concern yourself with.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nCan\'t think of things to put on your list than you need more things to look \r\nat.

The template consists of the\r\nhtml page templates and several support files such as scripts and data.\r\nWhen a site is generated several other files are uploaded that contain\r\nthe keyword phrases for the site. A cronjob script runs on the site\r\nside to actually generate the web pages. They are built using the html\r\ntemplates.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe template directory (Example:wcb/asgen/templates/Template_name) will become the home directory of\r\nthe generated web site, such as /home/username/www or\r\n/home/username/public_html. The entire contents of the template\r\ndirectory are copied to the generated site completely intact. So to\r\ninclude items such as images, you would put them in the\r\nwcb/asgen/template/Template_name/images folder. On the site side, that\r\ntranslates to /home/username/www/images or <a href=\"http://yourdomain.com/images\" target=\"_blank\">http://yourdomain.com/images</a>. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nIn the template directory there is a subdirectory named \'_sitefiles\'. This\r\nis where the main html page templates go. There are 4 page templates\r\nthat need to exist:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\narticle.html\r\nindex.html\r\nsubarticle.html\r\nsubindex.html\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe article.html page is for having an article on a separate page. The\r\narticle is automatically inserted into the page. It is not linked from\r\nanywhere by default. It can be linked from any page by placing a tag in\r\nthe page where you want the link. The tag is {ARTICLELINK} and must\r\ninclude the braces and must be all uppercase.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe index.html page is for the main home page and for each keyphrase page residing in the\r\nhome directory. The subindex.html is for the subdirectory/index.html\r\npages. It should be the same as the index.html except all relative\r\npaths should point to the previous directory ( &quot;../&quot; ) for the home\r\ndirectory. The subarticle.html is for the subdirectory/article.html and\r\nrelative paths in that should also point to previous directory (&quot;../&quot;)\r\nfor the home directory. The index.html in the home directory is created\r\nusing the primary keyword or phrase.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nNote that the builder has 4\r\noptions for building the pages. Even though the templates must be named\r\nwith .html extensions, the generated pages may end with .php or .html\r\ndepending which option you select in the profile. For 100% search\r\nengine friendliness we recommend using the .html extension.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe page options allow you to have all html pages within the home directory\r\nand would be named with keyphrase.html or keyphrase.php (with any\r\nspaces removed automatically). Or you can have a single index.html or\r\nindex.php for the home page and the keyphrases will be subdirectories\r\nwith an index.html or index.php within it. As an example if you had\r\n&quot;Dog Guide&quot; and &quot;Dog Food&quot; for keyphrases the following would be the\r\nvarious versions:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n/dogguide.html  or .php\r\n/dogfood.html  or .php\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n/dogguide/index.html  or .php\r\n/dogfood/index.html  or .php\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nIf you also insert dashes for spaces the options are:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n/dog-guide.html  or .php\r\n/dog-food.html  or .php\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n/dog-guide/index.html  or .php\r\n/dog-food/index.html  or .php\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThere are several tags that can be used in the page templates. All of the\r\ntags must be all uppercase and include opening and closing brackets\r\n(i.e. {TAGNAME} ).\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n{AUTOXML} -- Inserts alternate xml version link within the page header. Should be placed between the tags.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n{RSSLINK} -- Inserts a link to an xml version of the page.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n{ARTICLE} -- Inserts a markov generated article.

If you create\r\na new template it is important to insert the segments in the correct\r\nplace. Otherwise the photos, videos and/or articles will not work\r\nproperly, if at all.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYour hosting servers must also be setup to execute php code embedded inside html. If photos, videos and articles\r\nare not working even with the default template, then Apache is probably\r\nnot setup to execute embedded php. In order to do that an extra entry\r\nis required in the Apache configuration file. Edit the Apache\r\nconfiguration file (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf or\r\n/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf typically) and look for a line that\r\nlooks like this:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nDirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nChange it to this:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nDirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThen restart Apache using: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart from SSH. See the\r\nsection about Setting Up Hosting Servers for more information.\r\nPhotos\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nTo display photos on generated sites based on the keyword\r\nthe following code must appear inside the template html code before any\r\ncalls to the photo.php script:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe photo.php script uses these variables to determine what photos to fetch through the\r\nFlickr API. The $primaryKW gets set to the main keyword the site was\r\nbuilt using. The $kwd is set to the keyword/phrase for the page itself.\r\n(Will be the same for the home page). The {} tags are filled in\r\nautomatically by the site generator when the page is built, so do not\r\nmodify those.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYou can set some options, such as the width and height of the photos ($w and $h). The $orient sets orientation, either\r\nh for horizontal or v for vertical. The $vs and $hs set the vertical\r\nspace and horizontal space for the img tag. The $dnum sets how many\r\nphotos to actually display. The default is 4. You can set the img align\r\ntag with $al. Note, absmiddle does not work with these pages because\r\nthey are XHTML compatible.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAfter the variables are set you can call the photo.php anywhere in the page below this code. Simply copy\r\nthe last line: require($hdir . &quot;photo.php&quot;); and paste where you want\r\nthe photos displayed. You can also use it multiple times, if desired.\r\nFor example you could display 4 photos in the header and then 1 photo\r\nsomewhere else in the page. Note, in order to display additional\r\nphotos, yo must use a call to the dspImage() function. There can only\r\nbe one instance of require($hdir . &quot;photo.php&quot;); in the page. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo to display an additional photo you must set the $dnum=1; then call\r\ndspImage(). The first require line automatically calls the dspImage()\r\nfunction internally in the script. So dspImage() is only needed for\r\nsubsequent photo displays.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nExample:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nIf you do not wish to use photos, that is fine. But you must keep a portion of the\r\ncode mentioned above for other embedded scripts to work properly. So\r\nmake sure you at least have this code before the others are used:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nVideos\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nVideos from YouTube can be displayed based on the keyword , as well. Simply\r\ninsert the following code after the main photo code (see above):\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe video.php shares the $hdir, $primaryKW and $kwd variables.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nArticles\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThere are 2 types of articles that can be used with the sites. The first is\r\nsimply a markov generated article based on harvested sentences tied to\r\nthe keywords. To insert a markov article use this tag:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n{ARTICLE}\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nIf you do not want to use a markov article, simple remove all of the\r\n{ARTICLE} tags in the templates. Do not delete the\r\n_sitefiles/scripts/markov.php file, otherwise the sites cannot generate\r\never again.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe second article type is a real article pulled from an article site, such as Ezine Articles. These will appear properly\r\nquoted/credited to prevent legal copyright issues. Providing the source\r\nis properly listed, you don\'t have to worry about it. These articles\r\nhave the source listed at the end of the article. Do not defeat this\r\nfeature. Doing so will put you at risk for legal issues, and we will\r\nnot be responsible for such.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nTo insert these articles use this code:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe first line simply inserts the current date. This is recommended\r\nso each page load appears to be fresh content. These articles are\r\npooled in the /article directory and a random one is chosen on each\r\npage load. Note, some keywords may not produce very many articles, and\r\npossibly none at all. To ensure there is an article on each page, we\r\nrecommend using both the markov and real article code. You can also\r\nchange the keyword for the site and rebuild.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThis must also appear after the main photo code, as it shares the $primaryKW, $kwd and\r\n$hdir variables. Also note, the script for this is named art.php not\r\narticle.php. The reason is that an article.php will exist in the home\r\ndirectory if you selected .php for the page option in the builder, and\r\nis a completely different entity.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nTroubleshooting Templates\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAs\r\nmentioned earlier, all of the subdirectories and files in the template\r\ndirectory must be uploaded to each site. If you have created a new\r\ntemplate and uploaded into the builder\'s /wcb/asgen/template/ folder,\r\nmake sure all of the subdirectories are there, even empty ones.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe best way to create a new template is to copy the default template\r\nincluded in the package to a new directory. Then modify the\r\n_sitefiles/*.html pages as needed.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOne subdirectory in particular\r\ncan cause issues if not present. There should be a /temp directory in\r\nthe upd directory(i.e. /wcb/asgen/templates/TemplateName/upd/temp ). If\r\nthis is not present, the sites will not build. The site accounts will\r\nget created and uploaded, but the actual pages will not generate.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nIf this occurs, simply modify your template so it does include the\r\nupd/temp then re-upload the sites. You can either do them individually\r\nfrom the report section or simply do a Template Update from the Updates\r\nsection. To upload individually, pull up the report page and then pull\r\na report for the Site Uploads. The domains will be listed along with\r\ntheir status. In the status section it should say UPLOAD_COMPLETE. To\r\nthe right of that there is a small icon with a red double arrow. ?<!--BEGIN Image 2 TABLE -->\r\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\r\n	<tbody>\r\n		<tr valign=\"top\">\r\n			<td width=\"400\"><img src=\"http://74.200.215.186/members/images/102b.jpg\" border=\"0\" height=\"77\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" width=\"400\" /><br />\r\n			<span class=\"photocap\">  \r\n			</span><br />\r\n			</td>\r\n			<td><img src=\"http://74.200.215.186/members/images/space.gif\" height=\"1\" width=\"10\" />\r\n			</td>\r\n		</tr>\r\n	</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<!--End Image 2 TABLE --> \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nIf you click that icon, a popup will come up saying:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nURL: domainname.com\r\nScheduled for regeneration.?It should complete in a minute or two...\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nClose that popup. And shortly thereafter the site will re-upload. What this\r\ndoes is sets the site status to UPLOAD_FAILED, which will trigger\r\nanother upload attempt. Note, using this method may cause content to\r\nchange, as well. So using the Template Update is recommended if you\r\nwish to maintain the content. Note, popups must be enabled in your\r\nbrowser to see the message window. It is not required, though the\r\nfunction will still work if you click the icon.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nMake sure you\r\nhaven\'t left out any of the other folders and files from the template\r\nfolder. Any missing files may cause the site generator to fail. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAnother issue may be with the cronjob that runs on the uploaded web site. If\r\nthe cron does not run, the site will not generate. This cron is\r\nscheduled to run within a 60 minute window. So sites will not generate\r\nimmediately. This is done to spread out the load for the hosting\r\nserver. Normally, there would be no more than 4 sites generating\r\nsimultaneously. If there are, it could be due to a slow server, or you\r\nselected a large number of keywords to build with (&gt; 300). Normally,\r\nyou will not need to worry if the load is somewhat high, as it is only\r\ntemporary and will drop.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOnce the site is generated, the cronjob is automatically modified to run once per day at a random time from\r\n00:00 to 23:59. This is done for the tag/ping feature which only needs\r\nto run once per day. Note, any site updates will restart the sequences.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nIf the cronjob does not appear to run at all, you can check the cron\r\ndirectory to see if it is present for the site\'s username. Login to the\r\nserver as user root, then cd /var/spool/cron and then type ls --l to\r\nget a directory list. You should see a list of usernames , 1 per site\r\nand possibly root. To view the contents of a cron file type: cat\r\nusername and press enter. It should list the contents.\r\n</p>\r\nIf the cronjob is not present, then an error occurred during upload. If there\r\nare no cronjobs listed for any of the sites, then it is possible php is\r\nnot allowed to run crontab from shell_exec on t\r\n','<p class=\"lead\" align=\"left\">\r\nCreating/Modifying Site Templates\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<a href=\"http://74.200.215.186/members/118.cfm\">Working With Templates Part One</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<a href=\"http://74.200.215.186/members/119.cfm\">Working With Templates Part Two</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<a href=\"http://74.200.215.186/members/120.cfm\">Working With Templates Part Three</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<a href=\"http://74.200.215.186/members/129.cfm\">Working With Templates Part Four</a>\r\n</p>','',1204949708,3),(81,81,0,'Using The Administration Panel','','','',1204949425,1),(94,94,5,'Give Us Your Server Details Here!','<p class=\"lead\" align=\"left\">\r\nBelow is the link to the form you use to tell us about your server.  \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<br />\r\nAll fields are required.    \r\n</p>\r\nThis is for the server where WCB is to be installed:\r\n<a href=\"http://warchestbuilder.com/serverform.html\" target=\"_blank\">http://warchestbuilder.com/serverform.html</a>\r\n','<p class=\"lead\" align=\"left\">\r\nBelow is the link to the form you use to tell us about your server.  \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<br />\r\nAll fields are required.    \r\n</p>\r\nThis is for the server where WCB is to be installed:\r\n<a href=\"http://warchestbuilder.com/serverform.html\" target=\"_blank\">http://warchestbuilder.com/serverform.html</a>\r\n','',1204949556,1),(95,95,0,'Reciprocal Links Module Article','<p class=\"lead\" align=\"left\">\r\nOf all the promotion topics there is one I want to \r\ndiscuss first...coincidentally this is also the module for promotion that has \r\ngenerated the most emails wondering why it was included. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo as a LONG AWAITED continuation to the &quot;How to Think About Promotion&quot; we \r\nwill go through the Reciprocal Linking module that relies on leveraging accounts \r\nwith <a href=\"http://www.linksmaster.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.linksmaster.com</a>.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nLinksmaster is a simple service that operates what many would call a &quot;link \r\nfarm&quot;. A link farm is a group-or network -of sites that all link to other sites \r\nfor the purpose of enhancing a sites ranking.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nMost people would consider utilizing or being involved with a &quot;link farm&quot; as \r\nbeing pure poison. This has been discussed on NUMEROUS forums and we are \r\ndiscussing this because this is the common perception.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nBut at WCB we don\'t accept common perception.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nRight?\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nInstead we test it.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo that is what we did about a year and a half ago. What did we find? \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOohhh I bet you are dying to know. Sorry I will stop teasing you.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nWe would use LinksMaster on our sites, and while this didn\'t result in \r\npositive results with google---it did result in TOP (meaning top 10, top 5 \r\nrankings in MSN). \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAnd as we discussed in the past article different search engines have \r\ndifferent users. My guess is that 90% of you use Google as your primary search \r\nengine. However, the market share of MSN and Yahoo is about equal to Google. So \r\nthey aren\'t to be ignored.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo once LinksMaster was tested in small scale it was then rolled out to \r\nlarger numbers of sites. Now, this is the only promotion piece that will be \r\nincluded in WCB that has any cost associated with it--so it is good to get this \r\none discussed first.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYou can see the prices on their sales page: <a href=\"http://www.linksmaster.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.linksmaster.com</a>.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAt the time of writing this article the links in volume of 1000 cost $2.49 \r\neach. If you order less links it costs more money. BUT everything is negotiable. \r\nWe are working on it now :) \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nFYI when we were using LinksMaster we were seeing an ROI within 50 days-with \r\nmost sites remaining in the LinksMaster system for 9 months. We easily made \r\nhundreds of thousands of dollars using the LM system--which just shows you have \r\nto test things for yourself.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nIt should be noted that LinksMaster is one such system--there are many \r\nothers.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.linkmarket.net/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.linkmarket.net</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.gotlinks.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.gotlinks.com</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.reciprocallinkexchange.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.reciprocallinkexchange.com</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.linkexchanged.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.linkexchanged.com</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.linkpartners.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.linkpartners.com</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo, the point is if you would like to test this system for yourself here is \r\nhow you do it.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nLinksMaster requires 2 things from you so that they can put your sites in \r\ntheir system. They have an online control panel--which is ok for a few sites, \r\nbut in volume it is impossibly slow to use.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nLinksMaster requires a &quot;Description Text&quot; as well as a &quot;Link Text&quot;.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nExample Description Text would be: Learn all about {{T}} at this great {{T}} \r\nweb site. Discover the best books, guides and magazines about {{T}} here. Great \r\ninformation on {{T}} at this web site.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAs you can see it is fairly generic sentences that are combined with your \r\ntopic to create a relevant sentence that the other sites will use when linking \r\nto your site.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe &quot;Link Text&quot; is very similar: Great {{T}} web site Awesome site about \r\n{{T}} Search for books, guides &amp; links about {{T}} here\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThose are some samples. It is used as the actual anchor text so when they \r\nlink to you they do so using the &quot;Link Text\' sentence.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYou can enter these by hand into WCB. Obviously the more accounts you use the \r\nmore sentences you need. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYou can also enter these via a csv or text file-one per line.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOnce that is done you need to assign your topic a category. So for example if \r\nyou were building a taxes site you would enter &quot;taxes&quot; and then choose a \r\ncategory that fits-this is a simple judgement call on which category you think \r\nfits the topic best-and then press Add.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYou can also do this via csv with the following format:\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nchurch,Religion &amp; Spiritual\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\ndog,Pets &amp; Animals\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nstock car,Sports &amp; Athletics\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\ninvesting,Investment Opportunities\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n(One per line)\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nFinally there is a simple checker to let you know that all your topics in the \r\nLM system have been assigned categories. If they haven\'t you need to correct \r\nthat before proceeding.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThen in the &quot;Main&quot; page you have to actually run the promotion.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThis is done via CSV with the following format: Format: URL,User,Pwd,Topic\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYou enter a links page name-ie links, partners, buddies, recip. I would \r\nsuggest changing this to something unique instead of using the \r\ndefault-links.php. Choose a template and press start and you are good to go. The \r\ntemplate references your links page template....as this can be customized.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAny questions you know where to find us :)\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nHAVE QUESTIONS?\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOFFICIAL THREAD FOR THIS ARTICLE <a href=\"http://74.200.215.186/members/forum/openthread.cfm?forum=5&amp;threadID=787\" target=\"_blank\">http://74.200.215.186/members/forum/openthread.cfm?forum=5&amp;threadID=787</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThanks,\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nMichael -otherwise known as M\r\n</p>\r\n','<p class=\"lead\" align=\"left\">\r\nOf all the promotion topics there is one I want to \r\ndiscuss first...coincidentally this is also the module for promotion that has \r\ngenerated the most emails wondering why it was included. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo as a LONG AWAITED continuation to the &quot;How to Think About Promotion&quot; we \r\nwill go through the Reciprocal Linking module that relies on leveraging accounts \r\nwith <a href=\"http://www.linksmaster.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.linksmaster.com</a>.\r\n</p>','',1204949504,3),(85,85,5,'Server Configuration and FastServers Pricing','<p class=\"lead\" align=\"left\">\r\nTo signup all you need to do is email them at:\r\nsales@fastservers.net and copy and paste the data below.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThey will get you setup quickly and easily so that we can get your WCB online.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nFOR HOSTING THE WCB SOFTWARE: \r\nDell PowerEdge 860 P4 \r\n2.8Ghz+ \r\n1 GB RAM+ \r\n160GB SATA HD \r\nRed Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOs 5 \r\nApache 2.x \r\nPHP 5.x (with MySQL, ssh2, ftp (vsftpd), curl, socks, xml support, xmlrpc, xsl, openssl) \r\nMySQL 4.3.x or later (configured with data on large partition) \r\nperl 5 \r\n1500GB Monthly Bandwidth Transfer \r\n100Mbps Connection\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nFOR HOSTING THE SITES BUILT WITH WCB: Dell PowerEdge 860 Celeron+ 1GB RAM + 160GB SATA RHEL 4.x+/CentOs 5 php 4.3.6 or later sendmail BIND 9 DNS php compiled with ftp (vsftpd)/ curl/openssl/ssh2 support, xml support, xmlrpc, xsl 1500GB Bandwidth 100Mbps Connection\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAlso, be sure to get 2 domains, one for each server.

They want to put a website \r\nonline, use whatever promotion tactics they come across, get top rankings, and \r\nthey expect those rankings and their website to be indexed/ranked forever. After \r\nall they aren\'t one of those people [bad, blackhat, spam-insert word of the day \r\nhere]\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nHere is the truth. Google doesn\'t care if you are white hat or black hat-they \r\nsimply care if your site meets a certain criteria-if it does it stays or it \r\ngoes-depending on the criteria.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nFor Google the idea site is owned by a person who is an expert in a subject. \r\nUpdates constantly. Doesn\'t care about visitors/traffic/promo/etc.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe trouble is, with rare exception, this strategy doesn\'t make money-and \r\ncertainly not quickly. So, you do what is necessary and start taking steps to \r\nget some ranking for your site to start making money. But once you do that you \r\nare on Google\'s &quot;Naughty List&quot;.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSee the problem?\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nImagine you are 8 years old and it is January 10th and your parents tell you \r\nthat you have been so bad that there is no chance that you will get any \r\nChristmas gifts from Santa this year. If you believe your parents than you might \r\nas well go hog wild since it is 11 months till christmas and there is no sense \r\nin being good. So you might as well have fun.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n2. If I am going to promote my website then I want to do everything I come \r\nacross\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOnce people realize #1 then they start going crazy doing anything and \r\neverything they can get their hands on. This is as likely to cause a site to \r\nmake $0 as is not doing anything at all. At least not doing anything at all is \r\ncheap and doesn\'t take any time.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThis is the case because being on the naughty list is one thing, being at the \r\ntop of it is another. There is a big world out there and it isn\'t hard to hide \r\nif you are careful.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n3. &quot;I tried Promo Strategy X 2 weeks ago, and it didn\'t work because my \r\nranking is the same-so it is worthless&quot;\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOne thing that has been proven to me over and over again is that promotion is \r\nnot black and white. Something may not work one week and may work the next. Most \r\npeople assume that the search engines are always on the same time table and \r\nresults should be 100% predictable. A strategy may work well and get a site \r\nindexed or ranked within 7 days one month and it may take 25 days month two. \r\nThis may have nothing to do with the strategy but is usually more related to the \r\nsearch engines capacity issues during any given month. They run out of servers, \r\nprocessing power, hard drive space, test new algos, etc...which can all affect \r\nresults.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOne of the biggest factors that is often ignored is that promotion is very \r\nchronological, something can work poorly on its own-but combined with other \r\nfactors can have an excellent result.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n4. &quot;Google Is The Only Search Engine That Matters&quot;\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nHow many times have we all heard this one. Google is great, but so is Yahoo \r\nand MSN. I have made as much with the other 2 as I have with Google. Their \r\nmarket share is about the same...Yahoo + MSN=Google. However their users are \r\nvery different and some things just work better with a different audience. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n5. All Search Engines Are The Same\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThis couldn\'t be less correct. While some underlying principles are the same \r\nthe techniques that the search engines respond to are very different. Something \r\nmay not wok at all for Google but may result in your site getting a top 3 \r\nranking in Yahoo. That is a strategy that can make you rich if the results are \r\nconsistent.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThanks M\r\n</p>\r\n','<p class=\"lead\" align=\"left\">\r\nOver the next two weeks we are going to have indepth \r\ndiscussions of promotion.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSome of this will be how to use the promotion options in WCB....as that is \r\nnecessary.

Now, if you do you can be confident that you will start making money as \r\nsoon as the sites get indexed and ranked.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nHowever, based on my tests there seems to be a lot of evidence that many of \r\nthe search engines are doing a \'hand review\' of your sites. Not, as others have \r\nposited, to just determine if your site gets indexed initially. Instead, these \r\nhand reviews occur after indexing and seem to determine if your site stays in \r\nthe index.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nLast February/March I built 10,000 websites. 5,000 of which I put AdSense on \r\ninitially. The other 5k I didn\'t put AdSense on until they were indexed and well \r\nranked. The end result is that the later 5k earned 8 times what the previous 5k \r\nearned.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe reason?\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAround that time MSN started doing extensive hand reviews and when they saw a \r\nsite with AdSense on it they diminished its rankings. They didn\'t eliminate it \r\nfrom their index, but they did lower the site\'s importance.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo, the next argument is that it was done because of my site\'s quality. \r\nHowever to get a conclusive test I then had a &quot;pure white-hat&quot; site created \r\nwhich I promoted with the same methods and I got the same result. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo your decision depends on if you will be able to sacrifice the initial \r\nresults for long-term gain.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nNow, there is 1 more issue to discuss.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThere is also lots of evidence from my tests that suggest that Google, Yahoo \r\nand MSN diminish a site\'s rankings if a spider or robot detects Adsense on it. \r\nNow, if you were creating 1 site and this was your bread and butter than maybe \r\nit would be wise to not put AdSense on it if you had another alternative. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nHowever, if you are building sites that will primarily make money via AdSense \r\nthis \'diminished ranking\' should be noted but not worried about.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYou can choose to act on it, although by doing so you &quot;may&quot; violate google\'s \r\nTerms of Service.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nRight now just think about if you care either way, because these sites have \r\ngenerated a tremendous ROI for me. To put it bluntly I don\'t think there is any \r\nother activity that can generate as much money as quickly.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n....we will continue in Part 2.\r\n</p>\r\n','<p class=\"lead\" align=\"left\">\r\nThis is something that isn\'t talked about in other \r\nplaces, but how and when you put AdSense on your sites can determine how much \r\nyour sites ultimately make.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThere are a few decisions to make-we will discuss them 1 by 1.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nFirst, you need to decide if you put AdSense on your sites when you build \r\nthem.

There are, of course, other options. \r\nAnd of course nothing on this site is meant as legal or professional advice, and \r\nof course nothing posted here is endorsed by Google.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOk, disclaimer out of the way--lets get started.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThis process from beginning to end takes me less than 1 hour, and costs about \r\n$100. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo a new AdSense account is just around the corner.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nI believe that AdSense uses the following in order to \'identify\' or tie \r\naccounts together. So these are the important factors.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n1. Location. Each account should be tied to a different location\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n2. IP Address. Each account should be accessed from a different computer\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n3. Phone Number\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n4. Email Address\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n5. Entity-One person or entity can only have one account.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nI will start with #5 first. This step is useful to fulfill google\'s \r\nrequirements (as I understand them) but it also helps you keep things organized. \r\nMy method is to register a new company (usually a LLC) and I apply for adsense \r\nin the name of this LLC.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nDepending on your state this may cost anywhere from $25-$100+. Most of mine \r\nhave cost $50.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYou will need to call up your state and find out the costs as well as the \r\nprocess. But most states have 1 simple form that you fill out, and it takes all \r\nof 10 minutes. \r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nI then go to a local \'mailbox\' store like the UPS Store and get a mailbox in \r\nthe name of the new company. This solves the location problem.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nFor an IP address I get an inexpensive Windows server from <a href=\"http://www.powervps.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.powervps.com</a> which \r\nsells a windows server for $40. This allows me to login to that server and \r\naccess google Adsense from an IP that isn\'t the one on my computer. Keep in mind \r\nthat google logs all your IP information so you should use this VPS server from \r\nyour first contact with google to your last...including applying for the account \r\nas well as checking revenue.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAn alternative to this method is to use TOR or another free proxy service, \r\nbut I haven\'t used those personally and this is all about my personal process.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nTo acquire a new phone number I use <a href=\"http://www.kall8.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.kall8.com</a>. That website allows you to pick a toll \r\nfree number for only $2 per month. Since google requires phone verification you \r\ncan have this number forward to your regular number so that you can do their \r\nautomated phone step easily and cheaply.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nFor an email address you should use the email that is your new company name. \r\nA good way to keep this organized is to just put this corporate URL <a href=\"http://www.yourllc.com/\" target=\"_blank\">www.yourllc.com</a> on the dedicated \r\nserver that will be used to build the sites for this company. So if you were \r\nplanning to build 2,000 sites for this new LLC you would get a new dedicated \r\nserver to host those sites. But BEFORE you build the sites you would register \r\nyour corporate domain and host it on this server.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOne thing to keep in mind. After applying, google usually emails me before I \r\nwake up the following morning [afternoon], and they alert me to the fact that I \r\nhave been accepted. Also, as part of the application process they require you to \r\nconfirm your email by clicking a link. Like all interaction with them this \r\nshould be done via the VPS Server or whatever proxy method you decide to use.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThis is my personal process and is applicable to those in the U.S. Outside of \r\nthe U.S. different requirements will exist and those depend largely on your \r\ncountry.

Do a batch of 100-250 sites and watch the progress.  If there are any problems let us know via the Ticket System.\r\n\r\nOf course, with the new system the reporting is working.

It can also affect other parts of the body, such as, the eyes, lungs and heart. The inflammation can be painful, and can lead to permanent damage if the disease is not treated and controlled. \r\n\r\nJoint damage can occur in cases where the pain is not severe. This generally happens within the early stages of the disease. For many people with RA, damage is detected, from X-rays of the hands and feet, within two years of the onset of the disease. However, by the time X-rays discover the problem, the disease usually has progressed and is irreversible. Severe damage can lead to permanent joint deformity and disability. It can cause a high level of pain and swelling that one may be unable to walk.\r\nRheumatoid Arthritis usually appears between the ages of 25 and 50. There is a range of signs and symptoms for RA. Some of the symptoms may include the following:\r\n\r\n•	Sudden, severe attacks with flu-like symptoms. \r\n•	Periods of activity followed by joint inflammation (flare-ups).\r\n•	Weakness, tiredness, fever and/or sudden weight loss.\r\n\r\nIf any of the prior warning signs last more than two weeks, one should consult his/her physician. \r\n\r\nOne important way to distinguish RA from other forms of arthritis is by the pattern of joint involvement. For example, RA affects the wrist and many of the hand joints but usually not the joints that are closest to the fingernails. Other joints commonly affected by RA include: the elbows, shoulders, neck, jaw, feet, ankles, knees, and hips.\r\n\r\nAlong with painful, inflamed joints, RA can cause inflammation in body tissues and organs. In 20% of RA cases, lumps called rheumatoid nodules develop under the skin, often over bony areas. These occur most often around the elbow but can be found elsewhere on the body and even in internal organs. Occasionally, people with RA will develop inflammation of the membranes that surround the heart and lung or inflammation of the lung tissue itself. Inflammation of tear glands and salivary glands (called sicca syndrome) result in dry eyes and dry mouth. \r\n\r\nThere are five types of medicines used to treat RA:\r\n\r\n•	Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a type of medicine that reduces pain and swelling. However, they do not prevent further joint damage. Two common NSAIDS are Aspirin® and Advil®. \r\n\r\n\r\n•	COX-2 inhibitors (e.g. Celebrex®) are a specific kind of NSAID that may be prescribed if traditional NSAIDs are hard on your stomach, or if you have experienced stomach ulcers. People who have had a heart attack or stroke or experienced serious chest pain related to heart disease should not use NSAIDs or COXIBs. \r\n\r\n•	Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS). They work by slowing or stopping the immune system from attacking the joints. DMARDS take about one to three months before they begin to make a difference in the pain and swelling. \r\n\r\n•	Persistent inflammation in several joints, due to inflammatory arthritis, for longer than six weeks requires stronger medicine; that’s when the so-called disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are often used. Rheumatologists usually prescribe this class of medication in addition to NSAIDs. While the NSAID reduces day-to-day inflammation, the DMARD slows down the biological processes that are the driving force behind persistent inflammation. \r\n\r\n•	Corticosteroids are drugs that closely resemble cortisone, a hormone natural produced by the body. In RA, these drugs are used to treat extreme inflammation that is accompanied by severe pain and stiffness. They are also used to treat systemic RA, which may affect the lining of the lungs and blood vessels. Corticosteroids sometimes are given as injection into one or more joints or other areas of inflammation. The most common form is Prednisone. \r\n\r\nSome people with severe, advanced RA may benefit from surgery. There are a number of different kinds of surgery for RA ranging from minor procedures to complete joint reconstruction. Arthroscopic surgery, for example, involves using a scope through a small incision and cleaning or removing inflamed or damaged joint tissue. Some kinds of surgery repair bone deformity through realigning joints, fusing joints, or rebuilding parts of joints. Joint reconstruction involves removing all or parts of the damaged joint and replacing them with artificial materials. \r\n\r\nNo one knows for sure what causes RA. Scientists are trying to learn why the immune system attacks healthy body tissues, as well as, medicines to help prevent joint swelling.\r\nUntil then, please contact your physician at the onset of the signs and symptoms of RA.\r\n','Rheumatoid arthritis is when the body’s immune system attacks its healthy joints, causing inflammation in the lining of the joints.

Some can affect 1 or more joints, whereas others have their most significant effects on other parts of the body. More detailed information on these disorders is available at the Arthritis Foundation Web site. Listed here are some of the other most common arthritic conditions:\r\n\r\n•	Ankylosing spondylitis \r\n•	Bursitis \r\n•	Fibromyalgia \r\n•	Gout \r\n•	Infectious arthritis \r\n•	Psoriatic arthritis \r\n•	Reactive arthritis \r\n•	Scleroderma \r\n•	Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) \r\n•	Tendonitis (tendinitis) \r\n\r\nIf you think that you or someone you care for may have a rheumatic condition, see a doctor.\r\nAnkylosing spondylitis\r\n\r\nThis condition primarily affects the spine, but it may also cause arthritis in the hips, shoulders, and knees. The tendons and ligaments around the bones and joints in the spine become inflamed. Symptoms include pain and stiffness, especially in the lower back. Ankylosing spondylitis tends to develop during late adolescence or early adulthood. \r\n\r\nBursitis\r\n\r\nBursitis involves inflammation of the bursae, which are small, fluid-filled sacs that help reduce friction between bones and other moving structures in joints. The inflammation may result from arthritis in the joint, or from injury or infection of the bursae. Symptoms include pain, tenderness, and limited movement of the involved joint. \r\n\r\nFibromyalgia\r\n\r\nThis chronic syndrome is associated with pain and stiffness throughout the tissues that support and move the bones and joints. Pain and localized tender points occur in the muscles and tendons, particularly those of the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips. Other common symptoms include widespread pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.\r\n\r\nGout\r\n\r\nGout results from deposits of needle-like crystals of uric acid in the connective tissue near joints and/or in the joint space. Symptoms include inflammation, swelling, and pain in the affected joint, often the big toe.\r\n\r\nPsoriatic arthritis\r\n\r\nThis condition occurs in some patients with psoriasis, a common scaling skin disorder. Psoriatic arthritis often affects the joints at the ends of the fingers and causes changes in the fingernails and toenails.\r\n\r\nReactive arthritis\r\n\r\nReactive arthritis can develop after an infection of the lower urinary tract, intestines, or other organs. It is commonly associated with eye problems, skin rashes, and mouth sores.\r\n\r\nScleroderma\r\n\r\nAlso known as systemic sclerosis, scleroderma means hard skin. Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that almost always affects the skin, blood vessels, and joints. A more serious form also affects internal organs such as the lungs and kidneys. In scleroderma patients, there is an excessive production of collagen (a fiber-like protein) in the involved areas of skin or internal organs. \r\n\r\nSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)\r\n\r\nAlso known as lupus, SLE is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system harms the body\'s cells and tissues. This can result in inflammation and damage to the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, or brain.  \r\n\r\nTendonitis (tendonitis)\r\n\r\nThis condition refers to inflammation of tendons (tough cords of tissue that connect muscle to bone) caused by overuse, injury, or arthritis-producing conditions. Symptoms include pain, tenderness, and restricted movement of nearby joints.\r\n','Over 100 different disorders can be classified as arthritis.

The affected joint may also lose its shape, resulting in loss of normal movement. RA can last a long time and can be a disease of flares (active symptoms) and remissions (few to no symptoms).\r\nRA affects 2.1 million Americans, or about 1% of the adult population in the United States. This disease is 2 to 3 times more common in women than in men, and generally affects people between the ages of 20 and 50. However, young children can develop a form of RA called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.\r\nWhat are the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis?\r\nSymptoms of RA differ from person to person but can generally include:\r\n•	Joint tenderness, warmth, and swelling. Both sides of the body are usually affected at the same time. This is also called a &quot;symmetrical pattern&quot; of inflammation. For example, if one knee is affected, the other one is also. This is in contrast to osteoarthritis, where it is possible for only one knee to be affected. \r\n•	Pain and stiffness lasting for more than 1 hour in the morning or after a long rest. \r\n•	Joint inflammation in the wrist and finger joints closest to the hand (although joints of the neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, and feet can be affected as well). \r\n•	Fatigue, an occasional fever, and a general sense of not feeling well (called malaise). \r\n•	Symptoms that last for an extended period of time. \r\n•	Symptoms in other parts of the body, not just in the joints. \r\nRA causes inflammation of the joint lining, which can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function. It also can cause inflammation of your tear glands, salivary glands, the lining of your heart and lungs, and the lungs themselves. \r\nAs RA progresses, about 25% of people with the disease develop small lumps of tissue under the skin, called rheumatoid nodules. These rheumatoid nodules usually aren\'t painful. The nodules may form under the skin of the elbow, hands, the back of the scalp, over the knee, or on the feet and heels. They can be as small as a pea to as large as a walnut. Although RA is often a chronic disease, the severity and duration of the symptoms may unpredictably come and go. For people with a severe case of RA, the disease is generally active, lasts for many years, and leads to serious joint damage and disability. Periods of increased disease activity, or worsening of symptoms, are called flare-ups or flares.\r\nIf you are experiencing any of the symptoms described above, it is important to find out from a doctor if you have RA. Early diagnosis may reduce the pain, joint damage, and disability that occur in some RA patients.\r\nWhat causes rheumatoid arthritis?\r\nRA is an autoimmune disease. This means the body\'s natural immune system does not operate, as it should; it attacks healthy joint tissue, initiating a process of inflammation and joint damage.\r\nThe exact cause of RA is not yet known. Although scientists do know that many factors may contribute to the development of RA. Genetic, or hereditary, factors play a role. Scientists have shown certain genes that play a role in the immune system may be involved in determining whether or not you develop RA. However, some people with RA do not have these particular genes, and other people who do have the genes never develop the disease.\r\nEnvironmental factors may also contribute to the cause of the disease. Researchers have found that RA can be triggered by an infection, possibly a virus or bacterium, in people who have an inherited tendency for the disease. However, RA is not contagious; you can\'t &quot;catch it&quot; from anyone.\r\nHow is rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed?\r\nIf you have persistent discomfort and swelling in multiple joints on both sides of your body, make an appointment to see your doctor. Early intervention can ensure that you receive the right diagnosis and help you to start feeling better, sooner. Early intervention can also help prevent irreversible joint damage. To determine if your symptoms are due to RA, your doctor will most likely:\r\n•	Review your medical history and conduct a physical examination. \r\n•	Request a blood test that looks for an antibody called rheumatoid factor. About 70% to 90% of people with RA have this antibody. However, it is also possible to have the rheumatoid factor in your blood and not have RA. \r\n•	Perform a blood test that measures your erythrocyte sedimentation rate (or sed rate), which will indicate the presence of an inflammatory process in your body. People with RA tend to have abnormally high sed rates. \r\n•	Take X-rays of your joints to determine the extent of damage in your affected joints.

At times the pain that arises from inflamed joints can be quite unbearable. Most arthritis is caused by the wear and tear of joints over a long period of time (osteoarthritis). It is characterized in its early stages by stiffness in the morning and occasional cracking joints, but if left unchecked can leave the sufferer in crippling pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Aspirin or Ibuprofen are generally available to provide pain relief from arthritis, but their effectiveness is countered by harsh side effects, usually damaging the stomach lining of the patient in the form of stomach ulcers, leading to hospitalization and in severe cases death. Tinnitus can also occur. Furthermore, although they relieve the painful symptoms, it has been found that they inhibit cartilage regeneration. Therefore, use of these drugs over a period of time can only lead to a worsening of the arthritis. \r\n\r\nWork has been carried out to try to find suitable natural remedies for inflamed joints. The main benefit of the natural remedies is that side effects are negligible or non-existent. Here are the best natural anti-inflammatory alternatives, plus some advice on good lifestyle practice, explaining how they combat the rigors of arthritis. \r\n\r\nGinger extract, sometime referred to a Zinaxin, is a natural anti-inflammatory substance. It works by removing potentially damaging oxidizing agents from within the body (i.e. it is an antioxidant). Like the majority of natural remedies it has no side effects, and so can be taken without worry. \r\n\r\nWillow has been used to ease the pain of arthritis for many years now. It can be traced back as far as the ancient Greeks, who used to mash up the leaves with a little wine, and apply it to a sore back. In more modern times willow bark has been sold as part of a prepared remedy. It is in fact a naturally occurring form of aspirin, but with far fewer side effects. \r\n\r\nCod liver oil, taken on a daily basis, helps to strengthen the bones. The fatty acids that it contains prevent the cartilage from breaking up, thus avoiding inflamed joints. \r\n\r\nThere is a chemical in our bodies called glucosamine, a sugar much like glucose. This helps to prevent arthritis by keeping the joint tissue and surrounding fluid very gelatinous, hence well lubricated. Unfortunately, as we get older the amount of glucosamine in our bodies begins to decrease. Glucosamine sulphate can be bought in either a tablet or cream form, and has a high success rate. \r\n\r\nSufferers of arthritis should bear in mind that lifestyle factors can play an important role in pain levels. Take daily exercise, involving the use of joints that are affected. This helps to strengthen the joint, and keep it lubricated. Inactivity will only stiffen the joint and make the pain far worse the next time it is used. It is important to remember not to overdo it though; a little exercise everyday is fine. \r\n\r\nTry to avoid those foods that can adversely affect inflamed joints. In the main this means avoiding vegetables of the nightshade family (tomatoes, potatoes, aubergine, and capsicum). It can benefit some sufferers to cut back on dairy products and red meat as well. Eating lots of fruit and vegetables (except those previously mentioned), oily fish and whole meal products. It is essential to include plenty of vitamin C in your diet, because it is a component of collagen, which constitutes part of your joint protecting cartilage.\r\n','Many people throughout the whole world suffer from arthritis.

A general practitioner or family doctor may be able to evaluate a patient or refer him or her to a rheumatologist: a doctor who specializes in treating arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. \r\n\r\nThe doctor will review the patient’s medical history, conduct a physical examination, and obtain laboratory tests and X rays or other imaging tests. The doctor may need to see the patient more than once to make an accurate diagnosis. \r\n\r\nMedical History\r\n\r\nIt is vital for people with joint pain to give the doctor a complete medical history. It may be helpful for people to keep a daily journal that describes the pain. Patients should write down what the affected joint looks like, how it feels, how long the pain lasts, and what they were doing when the pain started. \r\n\r\nPhysical Examination and Laboratory Tests \r\n\r\nThe doctor will examine all of the patient’s joints for redness, warmth, deformity, ease of movement, and tenderness. Because some forms of arthritis, such as lupus, may affect other organs, a complete physical examination including the heart, lungs, abdomen, nervous system, and eyes, ears, and throat may be necessary. The doctor may order some laboratory tests to help confirm a diagnosis such as samples of blood, urine, or synovial fluid.\r\n\r\nCommon Laboratory Tests \r\n\r\n•	Antinuclear antibody (ANA)—This test checks blood levels of antibodies that are often present in people who have connective tissue diseases or other autoimmune disorders, such as lupus. Since the antibodies react with material in the cell’s nucleus (control center), they are referred to as antinuclear antibodies. There are also tests for individual types of ANA’s that may be more specific to people with certain autoimmune disorders. ANA’s are also sometimes found in healthy people. Therefore, having ANA’s in the blood does not necessarily mean that a person has a disease. \r\n\r\n•	Arthrocentesis—Arthrocentesis or joint aspiration is done to obtain a sample of synovial fluid. The doctor injects a local anesthetic, inserts a thin, hollow needle into the joint, and removes the synovial fluid into a syringe. The test provides important diagnostic information. For example, the test allows the doctor to see whether crystals (found in patients with gout or other types of crystal-induced arthritis) or bacteria or viruses (found in patients with infectious arthritis) are present in the joint. \r\n\r\n•	Complement—This test measures the level of complement, a group of proteins in the blood. Complement helps destroy foreign substances, such as germs, that enter the body. A low blood level of complement is common in people who have active lupus. \r\n\r\n•	Complete blood count (CBC)—This test determines the number of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets present in a sample of blood. Some rheumatic conditions or drugs used to treat arthritis are associated with a low white blood count (leukopenia), low red blood count (anemia), or low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). When doctors prescribe medications that affect the CBC, they periodically test the patient’s blood. \r\n\r\n•	Creatinine—This blood test is commonly ordered in patients who have rheumatic diseases to monitor for underlying kidney disease. \r\n\r\n•	Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed rate)—This blood test is used to detect inflammation in the body. Higher sed rates indicate the presence of inflammation and are typical of many forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, and many of the connective tissue diseases. \r\n\r\n•	Hematocrit (PCV, packed cell volume)—This test and the test for hemoglobin (a substance in the red blood cells that carries oxygen through the body) measure the number of red blood cells present in a sample of blood. A decrease in the number of red blood cells (anemia) is common in people with inflammatory arthritis and rheumatic diseases. \r\n\r\n•	Rheumatoid factor—This test determines whether rheumatoid factor is present in the blood. Rheumatoid factor is an antibody found in the blood of most (but not all) people who have rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid factor may be found in many other diseases besides rheumatoid arthritis, and sometimes in normal, healthy people. \r\n\r\n•	Urinalysis—In this test, a urine sample is studied for protein, red blood cells, white blood cells, or casts. These abnormalities indicate kidney disease, which may be seen in several rheumatic diseases such as lupus or vasculitis. Some medications used to treat arthritis can also cause abnormal findings on urinalysis. \r\n\r\n•	White blood cell count (WBC)—This test determines the number of white blood cells present in a sample of blood. The number may increase as a result of infection or decrease in response to certain medications, or with certain diseases, such as lupus. Low numbers of white blood cells increase a person’s risk of infections.\r\n\r\n•	X Rays and Other Imaging Procedures\r\n','Tests and diagnosis discussion for Arthritis: Diagnosing rheumatic diseases can be difficult because some symptoms and signs are common to many different diseases. A general practitioner or family doctor may be able to evaluate a patient or refer him or her to a rheumatologist: a doctor who specializes in treating arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. \r\n\r\nThe doctor will review the patient’s medical history, conduct a physical examination, and obtain laboratory tests and X rays or other imaging tests. The doctor may need to see the patient more than once to make an accurate diagnosis. \r\n\r','',1214525144,1),(155,155,1,'A Remedy Without The Damaging Drugs','After extensively researching treatment options for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and related joint pain conditions, there was a breakthrough in the natural arthritis pain relief medicines.\r\n\r\nThis special arthritis supplement is called Arthrit-Eze and it contains all of the natural arthritis relieving nutrients, including glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and other special ingredients to help reduce inflammation, swelling and stiffness as well as protect the joints and provide long lasting pain relief.\r\n\r\nAn alternative arthritis pain reliever can offer a safe, natural solution for those who wish to avoid the serious side effects of conventional medications such as Vioxx, Celebrex and other anti-inflammatory drugs.\r\n\r\nIn the wake of recent drug recalls and new evidence of the potential for health complications with Cox-2 inhibitors, arthritis alternative medicine is becoming a popular treatment for rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, as well as related joint pain.\r\n\r\nSurprisingly, much recent research shows that some of these natural treatments can be as effective as anti-inflammatory drugs, without causing any of the side effects associated with conventional medications.\r\n\r\nFor those looking for an alternative arthritis pain reliever, these new studies offer hope, and further research should prove conclusively that these natural remedies are effective in reducing inflammation and fighting the pain associated with these debilitating conditions.\r\n\r\nSo what are these natural treatments? Following are the most promising alternative arthritis pain relief supplements:\r\n\r\nGlucosamine and Chondroitin - two of the more popular natural arthritis treatments, these two naturally occurring substances can aid in joint repair and function and slow the progression of osteoarthritis.\r\n\r\nMSM - natural sulfur compound that acts as an anti-inflammatory, and can help reduce swelling and inflammation and thereby reduce pain.\r\n\r\nSAMe - reduces swelling and improves range of motion and mobility.\r\n\r\nBoswellia - an herbal extract that acts as a natural anti-inflammatory.\r\n\r\nTurmeric - another powerful herb that can naturally relieve arthritis pain.\r\n\r\nAll of these can offer effective alternative arthritis pain relief either on their own or together in a comprehensive formula, where each can enhance the medicinal benefits of the others. \r\n\r\nArthritis sufferers have touted glucosamine benefits for years, and more research is pointing to its efficacy as an effective treatment for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.\r\n\r\nGlucosamine benefits the body, because it occurs naturally in human tissues, making it a viable alternative to the synthetically derived drugs that have infiltrated the market in past years. Like glucosamine, these drugs known as NSAIDs, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, can help relieve the discomfort associated with arthritis; however, they work in vastly different ways.\r\n\r\nThe problem with NSAIDs, such as the now infamous Vioxx, is that they can increase the risk of heart attacks and gastrointestinal bleeding, according to the United States Food and Drug Administration. The FDA even targeted non-prescription NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen by advising manufacturers to revise their labeling and provide more specific information about the potential cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risks of their individual products. Glucosamine side effects are minimal in comparison.\r\n\r\nSo, how exactly is glucosamine, an amino sugar, different from NSAIDs and what are the proven glucosamine benefits?\r\n\r\nInstead of tricking the body into not receiving pain signals, glucosamine goes straight to the cause of the disease. Studies indicate that glucosamine benefits tender joints by stimulating the production of proteins, which aid in the building and repairing of connective tissue in the body. As we grow older, our body’s ability to produce glucosamine decreases, and our structural system pays the price. Because osteoarthritis, in particular, is often caused by age and wear, glucosamine benefits the body by possibly slowing or reversing the progression of the disease.\r\n\r\nMore importantly, experts agree that few glucosamine side effects exist when taken in recommended doses. Too much of any nutrient, vitamins and minerals included, can be harmful. Possible glucosamine side effects include nausea, diarrhea, heartburn, drowsiness, skin rash, and headache. In addition, supplement manufacturers derive glucosamine from the exoskeleton of shellfish; therefore, those who are allergic to shellfish should avoid taking glucosamine.\r\n\r\nTo complement glucosamine benefits, arthritis sufferers often take chondroitin sulfate, also a naturally occurring compound. In addition, to obtain full glucosamine benefits and to avoid any glucosamine side effects, always purchase supplements, glucosamine or otherwise, from reputable manufacturers with a proven history of quality.\r\n\r\nStill skeptical about glucosamine benefits? The National Institute of Health is conducting a study to determine the effectiveness of glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and/or the combination in the treatment of knee pain associated with osteoarthritis. The study will be completed at the end of 2005. Despite the results, government studies will not sway the thousands of sufferers who have taken glucosamine and seen results.','After extensively researching treatment options for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and related joint pain conditions, there was a breakthrough in the natural arthritis pain relief medicines.\r\n\r\nThis special arthritis supplement is called Arthrit-Eze and it contains all of the natural arthritis relieving nutrients, including glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and other special ingredients to help reduce inflammation, swelling and stiffness as well as protect the joints and provide long lasting pain relief.\r\n\r','',1214505495,1),(156,156,1,'What is Psoriatic Arthritis?','Psoriatic arthritis is a condition that causes swelling and pain in and around the joints. It can affect a number of joints including the fingers, wrists, toes, knees, ankles, elbows and shoulder joints; as well as, the spine and lower back joints. Psoriatic arthritis also affects tissues surrounding the joints, such as the tendons and ligaments. This form of arthritis may cause a swelling of the whole digit called “sausage” finger or toe. It also may cause skin inflammation, particularly on the elbows, knees and scalp. Psoriatic arthritis is linked to psoriasis, a disorder causing areas of the skin to become inflamed and be covered with silvery or grey scales.\r\n\r\nPsoriatic arthritis is a less common form of arthritis.  It affects both men and women in equal numbers, usually between the ages of 20 and 50. Thirty percent of people affected with psoriasis will also get psoriatic arthritis.  Although psoriasis may start at any age (commonly in the late teens), the arthritis component usually develops in ones 20’s through 40’s.\r\n\r\nThe other types of psoriatic arthritis include tendonitis (swelling of the tendons) and enteritis (pain and swelling at sites where tendons and ligaments attach to the bone). Common examples of these conditions are heel spurs, tennis elbow and tendonitis of the Achilles tendon (cord at the back of the heel). \r\n\r\nPsoriatic arthritis will generally develop in one of two ways:\r\n\r\n•	“Localized” mild psoriatic arthritis develops slowly, with mild symptoms, and affects less than five joints. People with this type of psoriatic arthritis will often live without symptoms for an extended period of time. \r\n\r\n•	“Generalized” disabling psoriatic arthritis is a more serious form of the disease that affects five or more joints at the same time. This form of the disease will often lead to permanent joint damage and disability, and requires medication early. In severe cases, surgery and rehabilitation may be required.\r\n\r\nWhile no one knows for sure what causes psoriatic arthritis, it is known that heredity plays a big role. Children of parents with psoriasis are three times more likely to develop it. If an identical twin has psoriasis, then there is a 75% chance the other twin suffer from it as well.  Other possible causes of psoriatic arthritis are exposure to infection or changes in the environment.\r\n\r\nAt this time, there is no cure for psoriatic arthritis.  Therefore treatment is designed to minimize pain and stiffness.  Establishing the correct diagnosis early on is very important, because most therapies work best when started early in the disease. \r\n\r\nHowever, this form of arthritis is similar to other forms, such as, Gout, Reiter\'s Syndrome and Rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, your doctor may order in addition to a physical examination, various tests.  X-rays are often ordered to look for changes in the bone.  Blood and joint fluid tests may be done to rule out other conditions.\r\n \r\nOnce the diagnosis is confirmed, then the exact treatment(s) will be prescribed to help decrease your pain and stiffness, while increasing ones ROM. Treatment of psoriatic arthritis is for both the skin condition and the arthritis. For mild psoriatic arthritis the treatment plan is comprised of: medication, physiotherapy and daily-living adjustments.  \r\n\r\nMedications that are prescribed to reduce pain and swelling include but are not limited to: coated acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, various COX-2 inhibitors, gold salts, methotrexate, sulfasalazine, leflunomide, hydroxychloroquinine, chloroquinine and azathioprine. Corticosteroids, which resemble cortisone, a hormone naturally produced by the body, are also used to decrease the pain and swelling. Corticosteroids are given as an injection into one or more joints or other areas of inflammation. The most common form of treatment is Prednisone. \r\n\r\nProperly caring for your skin will help one manage his/her symptoms. However, if a person suspects having severe psoriasis, then they should see a dermatologist right away. Another way to help manage skin symptoms is to monitor ones exposure to sunlight. \r\n\r\nLight therapy has been used in the treatment of psoriasis. It consists of a medication called psoralen, along with exposure to type A ultraviolet light. Typically, 20-30 treatments over several weeks, under medical supervision, will produce favorable results. \r\n\r\nIn addition to the prior, there are different types of exercises that one can perform as a way to lessen pain and stiffness associated with the disease. The following are some examples:\r\n\r\n•	Range of motion exercises reduces stiffness and keeps your joints moving. \r\n•	Strengthening exercises maintain or increase muscle strength. \r\n•	Endurance exercises strengthen your heart, give you energy and control your weight. These exercises include things like walking, swimming and cycling. \r\n•	Moderate stretching exercises help relieve the pain and keep the muscles and tendons around an affect joint flexible and strong.\r\n\r\nSome people with severe, advanced psoriatic arthritis may require surgery or if one of your joints becomes badly damaged. Surgery for psoriatic arthritis usually is done to replace a joint with a prosthetic joint. Benefits include less pain, better movement and function.  If you suspect you may have some signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis, contact your doctor for a consult.\r\n','Psoriatic arthritis is a condition that causes swelling and pain in and around the joints.

An elevated blood level of uric acid (called hyperuricemia) occurs when the liver produces more uric acid than the body can excrete in the urine, or when a diet high in rich foods (e.g., red meat, cream sauces, red wine) produces more uric acid than the kidneys can filter from the blood. \r\n\r\nOver time, uric acid in the blood crystallizes and settles in the joint spaces, causing swelling, inflammation, stiffness, and pain. Gout usually affects the first metatarsal phalangeal joint of the big toe (hallux) or the ankle joints. \r\n\r\nIncidence and Prevalence\r\n\r\nAccording to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), gout affects approximately 2.1 million people in the United States and is more common in men between the ages of 40 and 50. In women, incidence increases after menopause. The condition is rare in children and young adults. \r\n\r\nCauses and Risk Factors \r\n\r\nGout is caused by the buildup of uric acid in the joints. Approximately 18% of people who develop gout have a family history of the condition, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. Diseases and conditions that increase the risk include diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, and sickle cell anemia. \r\n\r\nRegularly drinking alcohol interferes with the removal of uric acid from the body and can increase the risk for developing gout. Other risk factors include the following: \r\n\r\n•	Exposure to lead in the environment \r\n•	High dietary intake of rich foods that contain purine (e.g., cream sauces, red meat, sardines, liver, scallops) \r\n•	Medications that may interfere with the body’s ability to remove uric acid (e.g., aspirin, diuretics, levodopa [used to treat Parkinson\'s disease]) \r\n\r\nCyclosporine (e.g., Gengraf), which is a medication used to suppress the body\'s immune system and prevent rejection after organ transplant, also increases the risk for developing gout. \r\nSigns and Symptoms \r\n\r\nGout usually develops in the joint of the first toe (i.e., the big toe, or hallux). Common symptoms include the following: \r\n\r\n•	Inflammation \r\n•	Pain \r\n•	Redness \r\n•	Stiffness \r\n•	Swelling \r\n\r\nTouching or moving the toe may be intensely painful and patients often say that having as much as a bed sheet over the toe increases the pain. Symptoms of gout develop quickly (sometimes in 1 day) and typically occur in only one joint at a time. Rarely, symptoms develop in two or three joints simultaneously. If widespread symptoms occur, the condition is probably not gout. If left untreated, gout can damage joints and cause disability. \r\n\r\nDiagnosis \r\n\r\nDiagnosis of gout involves inserting a needle into the affected joint and drawing a sample of the fluid that lubricates the joint (called synovial fluid). The fluid is then analyzed under a microscope to determine if uric acid crystals are present. To rule out joint infection, the fluid also is examined for the presence of bacteria. \r\n\r\nPatients with gout have elevated blood levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia), but this condition may or may not be present during an acute attack. \r\n\r\nTreatment \r\n\r\nThe goal of treatment is to decrease the amount of uric acid in the joints, which helps to reduce symptoms and prevent further attacks. If left untreated, affected joints may be damaged, causing disability. In most cases, gout is not treated unless it occurs frequently. \r\n\r\nTreatment may involve no steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as naproxen (e.g., Anaprox, Naprosyn) and indomethacin (e.g., Indocin). Due to potentially severe gastrointestinal and cardiovascular side effects, NSAIDs should only be used as instructed. Corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone) also may be taken orally or injected into the affected joint. These medications usually resolve symptoms in about a week. \r\n\r\nColchicine and probenecid (Benemid) may be used alone or in combination (e.g., Colbenemid) when other medications do not relieve symptoms. These medications are most effective when taken within 12 hours of the onset of symptoms. Side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. \r\n\r\nPrevention \r\n\r\nPrevention is the best defense against gout. Medication (e.g., small doses of NSAIDs, colchicine, allopurinol [Zyloprim], probenecid) may prevent continued accumulation of uric acid in the joints and further attacks. Avoiding alcohol and rich foods that are high in purine (e.g., scallops, sardines, red meat, sweetbreads, gravy, cream sauces) also may help to prevent the condition. \r\n\r\nOther preventative measures include the following: \r\n\r\n•	Drink plenty of fluids (especially water) \r\n•	Exercise regularly \r\n•	Maintain a healthy diet and healthy body weight \r\n•	See a physician regularly \r\n','Overview \r\n\r\nGout is a systemic disease (i.e., condition that occurs throughout the body) caused by the buildup of uric acid in the joints.

Rather than being flushed by the kidneys and through the urine, it forms crystals, which are then deposited in the joints. These deposits give rise to inflammation of the joints, causing pain, swelling, redness and tenderness of the area. Typically the joint affected is the big toe, but gout can also affect the ankle, knee, foot, hand, wrist and elbow. Uric acid crystals may also form deposits in other areas such as under the skin or in other soft tissues, and in the kidney or urinary tract.\r\n\r\nGout predominantly affects adult males. It is the most common cause of inflammatory arthritis in men over the age 40. Men are at least four times more likely to develop gout than women. Women, who do develop gout, rarely develop it before reaching menopause. \r\n\r\nThe onset of gout is usually quick and unexpected. Often, people who develop gout will do so during the night while sleeping, after having gone to bed in good health. They are awakened by acute pain in the big toe or, more rarely, in the heel, ankle or instep. This pain has been described as feeling as though a bucket of cold water poured over the affected area, with the pain increasing to a violent stretching, tearing sensation. There is also a pressure and tightness around the area. The pain becomes so acute that not even the weight of a bed sheet can be tolerated. The soft tissues, such as the muscles and tendons, around the joint can become hot, red and swollen, and to wear a shoe may become impossible. \r\n\r\nGout typically affects the joint at the base of the big toe. In over half of all initial attacks, this is the first joint affected. The majority of initial gout attacks involve only one joint. Over 50% of people who have had an acute attack of gout will have a recurrence within the year. Over time the attacks may become more frequent, lasting longer and often involve more joints. For some individuals the attacks linger, and the disease becomes chronic. The crystals of uric acid deposited inside the joint and in the surrounding soft tissues lead to destructive changes in the joint and cause persistent inflammation.\r\n\r\nA number of factors seem to contribute to the cause of gout. Acute gout may be triggered by events such as surgery, heart attacks, or trauma. Use of alcohol or some medications, such as certain diuretics (also known as water pills), particularly those used to treat high blood pressure, can set off a gout attack. Certain foods, such as seafood and liver, and beverages, such as coffee and tea may contribute to the incidence of gout. A family history of gout is common for those who develop it, and this may be a result of genetic predisposition or environmental factors.\r\n\r\nThe goal in treating gout is to safely provide relief of acute attacks, prevent further attacks and damage to the joints, and prevent the formation of tophi or kidney stones. Establishing the correct diagnosis is important, because most therapies work best when started early in the disease. \r\nThere are a variety of treatments used for gout. Some of the treatments used are the following:\r\n\r\n•	Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs reduce pain when taken at a low dose, and relieve inflammation when taken at a higher dose. The most commonly used NSAID to treat gout is Indocid. Other NSAIDS used to treat gout are Naprosyn, Orudis, Voltaren and Tolectin. \r\n\r\n•	Those who do not respond well to a NSAID, usually are prescribed Cortisone. Cortisone is a steroid that reduces inflammation and swelling. It is typically, administrated by an injection into the joint. For severe pain and inflammation, doctors can inject a powerful anti-inflammatory drug, called Corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are drugs that closely resemble cortisone. An injection can provide almost immediate relief for a tender, swollen and inflamed joint. However, this treatment can only be used rarely, since corticosteroids can weaken cartilage and remove the minerals from the bone, resulting in further joint weakness. \r\n\r\n•	Colchicine is another medication that has been used since the 1800s to treat gout. It is very effective; however, it is not used as frequently as NSAIDs are, because it tends to cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.\r\n\r\n•	There are a number of other medications used for treatment of other conditions that alter how uric acid is excreted through the kidneys.  \r\n\r\n•	Dietary habits may cause your body to produce too much uric acid. To keep levels of uric acid low reduce your amount of certain foods and drinks, such as coffee, cocoa, tea, seafood, liver, gravy, peas, and spinach. Alcohol (beer, wine, etc.) also stops uric acid from leaving your body and can trigger gout. Sudden changes in your diet or dramatic weight gain/loss may also cause gout attacks. \r\n\r\nMedications have made the management of gout very effective. Those people who have occasional attacks can usually manage them well with treatment, which includes making changes to the way one lives (types of foods eaten, control of weight, etc.). Those with chronic gout can control the level of uric acid through the ongoing use of medication. It is possible, after years of treatment, that the total body of uric acid stored can remain low enough to where one may not need medication.\r\n','Gout is a condition in which uric acid, a waste product that occurs naturally within the body, rises above normal levels.

OA begins with the breakdown of joint cartilage, resulting in pain and stiffness.  OA commonly affects the joints of the fingers, knees, hips, and spine. Other joints affected less frequently include the wrists, elbows, shoulders, and ankles. When OA is found in a less-frequently affected joint, there is usually a history of injury or unusual stress to that joint.\r\n\r\nWork-related repetitive injury and physical trauma may contribute to the development of OA. For example, if you have a strenuous job that requires repetitive bending, kneeling, or squatting, you may be at high risk for OA of the knee.\r\n\r\nWhat are the symptoms of osteoarthritis?\r\n\r\nThe most common symptoms of OA include: \r\n\r\n•	Steady or intermittent pain in a joint. \r\n•	Stiffness after periods of inactivity, such as sleeping or sitting. \r\n•	Swelling or tenderness in 1 or more joints. \r\n•	Crunching feeling or sound of bone rubbing on bone (called crepitus) when the joint is used. \r\n\r\nOA usually comes on slowly. Early in the disease, joints may ache after physical work or exercise. If you are experiencing symptoms such as joint pain and stiffness, see a doctor to find out if you have OA.\r\n\r\nWhere do symptoms of osteoarthritis typically appear?\r\n\r\nAlthough OA can occur in any joint, most often it occurs in the following areas:\r\n\r\n•	Fingers. OA of the fingers is often hereditary, meaning it runs in families. Fingers may ache or be stiff and numb. The base of the thumb joint is commonly affected. Fingers can become enlarged and gnarled. Small, bony knobs (called Heberden\'s nodes) may also appear on the end joints of the fingers. Similar knobs (called Bouchard\'s nodes) can appear on the middle joints of the fingers. More women than men have OA of their fingers. Women become especially susceptible to OA after menopause. \r\n•	Knees. Because knees are primary weight-bearing joints, they are very commonly affected by OA. They may be stiff, swollen, and painful, making it hard to walk, climb, and get in and out of chairs and bathtubs. \r\n•	Hip. OA in the hip can cause pain, stiffness, and severe disability. In addition to your hip, you may feel the pain in your groin, inner thigh, or knees. This can lead to difficulty moving, bending, and walking.\r\n•	Spine. OA of the spine can cause stiffness and pain in the neck or in the lower back, as well as weakness or numbness in your arms or legs.

It can involve any joint, but usually concerns hands and weight-bearing joints such as hips, knees, feet and spine.\r\n\r\nCartilage is the tough elastic material that covers and protects the ends of bones. In healthy joints cartilage acts as a shock absorber when you put weight on the joint. The slippery surface of the cartilage allows the bones to move smoothly. When a joint develops osteoarthritis the cartilage gradually becomes rough and thin, and the bone underneath thickens.\r\n\r\nOsteoarthritis is classified as non-inflammatory arthritis. This suggests that there is no inflammation (swelling); however, recent research shows that this is not true. Although there is usually no swelling in the early stage of the disease, as the arthritis progresses there can be inflammation. Bits of cartilage may break off and float around inside the joint. This disturbs other soft tissues inside the joint and can cause pain and swelling between bones. The result is you may have trouble moving the joint.\r\n\r\nOver time as the cartilage wears down, the bones may form bumps on their ends. These bumps are called spurs. Or, the cartilage may wear away entirely, and your bones may rub together.\r\n\r\nThere are many kinds of arthritis. The most common kind is called osteoarthritis\r\n(or OA for short). It affects 3,000,000 (1 in 10). OA affects men and women in equal numbers. Most people develop osteoarthritis after the age of 45, but it can occur at any age.\r\n\r\nThe warning signs of OA are the following:\r\n\r\n•	Pain, stiffness and swelling around a joint that lasts longer than two weeks. \r\n•	The joints that are usually affected are the hips, knees, feet and spine.  Finger and thumb joints might also be affected. \r\n\r\nDamage due to OA progresses slowly over time and may result in several problems. You may have pain, especially when moving a joint. Sometimes, you may hear a grating sound when the roughened cartilage on the surface of the bones rubs together. Bumps or swelling may appear, especially on the fingers and feet. A joint may feel sore and stiff, and the joint won\'t move as easily or as far as it once did. All these changes can make it hard to move around and to do everyday tasks, such as opening a jar or walking up stairs.\r\n\r\nNo one knows for sure what causes OA, although scientists are well on their way to understanding the events that lead to the breakdown of cartilage. Researchers now think that there are several factors that may increase your risk for getting OA.  Key risk factors include: heredity; excess weight; injury; joint damage from another type of arthritis.\r\n\r\nEstablishing the correct diagnosis is very important, because something can be done to manage most forms of arthritis, and most therapies work best when started early in the disease.\r\n\r\nAlthough there is no cure for OA, a lot can be done to help manage the condition.  A variety of treatments can help to lessen pain and stiffness and to make movement easier.  Your active involvement in developing your prescribed treatment plan is essential. \r\n\r\nFor mild to moderate osteoarthritis doctors often recommend acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever, but does not reduce inflammation. \r\n\r\nTopical creams and gels that are available over-the-counter may provide temporary pain relief, but only in the areas where they are applied. These creams aren’t as effective as anti-inflammatories.\r\n\r\nNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a type of medication that helps reduce the pain and swelling of the joints and decrease stiffness. However, they do not prevent further joint damage. These medications can be used to help reduce pain and swelling of the joints, and decrease stiffness. However, they do not prevent further joint damage. NSAIDs reduce pain when taken at a low dose, and relieve inflammation when taken at a higher dose. COX-2 inhibitors (e.g. Celebrex®) are a specific kind of NSAID that may be prescribed if traditional NSAIDs are hard on your stomach, or if you have experienced stomach ulcers. \r\n\r\nWhen osteoarthritis progresses to the point where it’s hard to get around, corticosteroid injections may be an option to reduce pain and improve mobility. Cortisone is a steroid that reduces inflammation and swelling. It is a hormone naturally produced by the body. Corticosteroids are drugs that closely resemble cortisone. They are steroids that can be injected into the joints. An injection can provide almost immediate relief for a tender, swollen and inflamed joint. However, this treatment can only be used rarely, since corticosteroids can weaken the cartilage and remove the minerals from (and therefore weaken) the bone, resulting in further joint weakness. \r\n\r\nOsteoarthritis may progress to the point where surgery is necessary. Minor surgery can be performed to clean out cartilage debris from the joints, particularly the knee. This is called arthroscopic surgery. It is performed as outpatient surgery and does not usually require an overnight stay in hospital. Severely damaged joints can be reconstructed or surgically replaced with artificial ones. Joint replacement is major surgery, and is most often performed to replace hip and knee joints. Hip and knee replacements relieve pain and can restore your ability to move your joints and function normally. Artificial joints can last 10-20 years before they require replacement, which is why this type of surgery is delayed until it is clearly necessary.','Osteoarthritis is a disease that affects the joints. It can involve any joint, but usually concerns hands and weight-bearing joints such as hips, knees, feet and spine.\r\n\r\nCartilage is the tough elastic material that covers and protects the ends of bones. In healthy joints cartilage acts as a shock absorber when you put weight on the joint. The slippery surface of the cartilage allows the bones to move smoothly. When a joint develops osteoarthritis the cartilage gradually becomes rough and thin, and the bone underneath thickens.\r\n\r','',1214505683,1),(161,161,1,'Treatments of Arthritis','Most often osteoarthritis of the knee is treated with pain-reducing medicines, such as aspirin or acetaminophen; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen ; and exercises to restore joint movement and strengthen the knee. Losing excess weight can also help people with osteoarthritis. \r\n\r\nWhat Are Some Pain Relief Methods for People With Arthritis? \r\n\r\nThere are known methods to help stop pain for short periods of time. This temporary relief can make it easier for people who have arthritis to exercise. The doctor or physical therapist can suggest a method that is best for each patient. The following methods have worked for many people: \r\n\r\n•	Moist heat supplied by warm towels, hot packs, a bath, or a shower can be used at home for 15 to 20 minutes three times a day to relieve symptoms. A health professional can use short waves, microwaves, and ultrasound to deliver deep heat to non inflamed joint areas. Deep heat is not recommended for patients with acutely inflamed joints. Deep heat is often used around the shoulder to relax tight tendons prior to stretching exercises. \r\n\r\n•	Cold supplied by a bag of ice or frozen vegetables wrapped in a towel helps to stop pain and reduce swelling when used for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. It is often used for acutely inflamed joints. People who have Raynaud\'s phenomenon should not use this method.\r\n\r\n•	Hydrotherapy (water therapy) can decrease pain and stiffness. Exercising in a large pool may be easier because water takes some weight off painful joints. Community centers, YMCAs, and YWCAs have water exercise classes developed for people with arthritis. Some patients also find relief from the heat and movement provided by a whirlpool.\r\n\r\n•	Mobilization therapies include traction (gentle, steady pulling), massage, and manipulation (using the hands to restore normal movement to stiff joints). When done by a trained professional, these methods can help control pain and increase joint motion and muscle and tendon flexibility.\r\n\r\n•	TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) and biofeedback are two additional methods that may provide some pain relief, but many patients find that they cost too much money and take too much time. In TENS, an electrical shock is transmitted through electrodes placed on the skin\'s surface. TENS machines cost between $80 and $800. The inexpensive units are fine. Patients can wear them during the day and turn them off and on as needed for pain control.\r\n\r\n•	Relaxation therapy also helps reduce pain. Patients can learn to release the tension in their muscles to relieve pain. Physical therapists may be able to teach relaxation techniques. The Arthritis Foundation has a self-help course that includes relaxation therapy. Health spas and vacation resorts sometimes have special relaxation courses. \r\n\r\n•	Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese method of pain relief. A medically qualified acupuncturist places needles in certain sites. Researchers believe that the needles stimulate deep sensory nerves that tell the brain to release natural painkillers (endorphins). Acupressure is similar to acupuncture, but pressure is applied to the acupuncture sites instead of using needles.\r\nRest, Exercise, and Diet\r\n\r\nPeople who have a rheumatic disease should develop a comfortable balance between rest and activity. One sign of many rheumatic conditions is fatigue. Patients must pay attention to signals from their bodies. For example, when experiencing pain or fatigue, it is important to take a break and rest. Too much rest, however, may cause muscles and joints to become stiff. \r\n\r\nPhysical exercise can reduce joint pain and stiffness and increase flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance. It also helps with weight reduction and contributes to an improved sense of well-being. Before starting any exercise program, people with arthritis should talk with their doctor. People with arthritis can participate in a variety of sports and exercise programs. Exercises that doctors often recommend include \r\n\r\n•	Range-of-motion exercises to help maintain normal joint movement, maintain or increase flexibility, and relieve stiffness. \r\n\r\n•	Strengthening exercises to maintain or increase muscle strength. Strong muscles help support and protect joints affected by arthritis. \r\n\r\n•	Aerobic or endurance exercises to improve cardiovascular fitness help control weight, and improve overall well being. Studies show that aerobic exercise can also reduce inflammation in some joints. \r\n\r\nMedications \r\n\r\nA variety of medications are used to treat rheumatic diseases. The type of medication depends on the rheumatic disease and on the individual patient. At this time, the medications used to treat most rheumatic diseases do not provide a cure, but rather limit the symptoms of the disease. The one exception is treatments for infectious arthritis. If caught early enough, arthritis associated with an infection (such as Lyme disease) can usually be cured with antibiotics. \r\n\r\nMedications commonly used to treat rheumatic diseases provide relief from pain and inflammation. In some cases, the medication may slow the course of the disease and prevent further damage to joints or other parts of the body. This fact sheet describes the medications most commonly used to treat pain and inflammation. \r\n\r\nAnalgesics (pain relievers) such as aspirin; other non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, Nuprin); and acetaminophen (Tylenol) are used to reduce the pain caused by many rheumatic conditions. \r\n\r\nCorticosteroids, such as prednisone, cortisone, solumedrol, and hydrocortisone, are used to treat many rheumatic conditions because they decrease inflammation and suppress the immune system.\r\n\r\nSurgery \r\n\r\nSurgery may be required to repair damage to a joint after trauma (a torn meniscus, for example) or to restore function or relieve pain in a joint damaged by arthritis. The doctor may recommend arthroscopic surgery, bone fusion (surgery in which bones in the joint are fused or joined together), or arthroplasty (also known as total joint replacement, in which the damaged joint is removed and replaced with an artificial one).','Most often osteoarthritis of the knee is treated with pain-reducing medicines, such as aspirin or acetaminophen; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen ; and exercises to restore joint movement and strengthen the knee.

The bulk of renal problems in rheumatoid arthritis are related to complications such as vasculitis and amyloidosis, and complications to medical treatment of the disease with some of the main offenders being:\r\n\r\n•  gold salts \r\n•  penicillamine \r\n•  cyclosporine \r\n\r\nThere is also increasing evidence that rheumatoid arthritis can cause sub clinical renal dysfunction with microalbuminuria, as well as clinical disease caused by immune-complex mediated glomerulonephritis and interstitial tubular fibrosis.\r\n\r\nLife Expectancy Studies\r\n\r\nWith regard to reduced life expectancy for rheumatoid arthritis patients, the standardized mortality ratio from different studies has ranged from 1.13 to 2.98. This mainly applies to rheumatoid factor positive cases, although a subgroup of rheumatoid factor negative cases with an adverse long-term prognosis exists. Clinically based studies probably overestimate the true shortening of life span and population-based studies may underestimate it.\r\n\r\nIn 1989, a study was done in Finland of 1666 people who had died and had been receiving medication for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Demographic data on the Finnish population and sickness insurance statistics were used as the basis for computations. Results indicated that the life span of subjects with RA was shortened by 15-20% from the date of onset of illness.\r\n\r\n•  about 40% of the excess deaths were due to cardiovascular causes \r\n•  about 30% due to infections \r\n•  about 15% due to amyloidosis \r\n•  the remaining 15% were due to various other causes \r\n\r\nRisks Vs.

These two substances are the foundation for the natural arthritis program recommended by Jason Theodosakis, M.D., M.S., M.P.H. in his best selling book \"The Arthritis Cure\". According to Dr. Theodosakis, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, when taken in supplemental form, have been shown to reverse damage in joint cartilage, are extensively used and studied throughout the world and are proven effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis since 1959.\r\n\r\nWhat kinds of treatments are available for Arthritis?\r\n\r\nMost conventional physicians today treat arthritis with drugs designed to minimize inflammation and attempt to control or manage pain. A Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) will most likely be prescribed. Available over-the-counter drugs include ibuprofen, Motrin, Naprosyn, Clinoril and others.\r\n\r\nAlthough these NSAIDs are affective in managing the effects of Arthritis, they do not come without considerable risks and/or side effects of their own. They are rapidly becoming a concern in the medical and health communities\r\n\r\nStudies show that NSAIDs deteriorate the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. According to the National Institute of Health, consistent use of NSAIDs over prolonged time periods increase the incidence of hospitalization for stomach ulcers by six and a half times.\r\n\r\nThe most serious problem from taking NSAIDs is their degenerating effect on cartilage; NSAIDs actually prevent the growth of collagen in the joints.\r\n\r\nWhen researchers added aspirin to normal and osteoarthritic cartilage cultures from animals and humans, they found that the synthesis of proteoglycans (the water absorbing cells in cartilage) slows down significantly. The doses used in lab-dish cultures equaled the usual doses taken by arthritic sufferers for pain. This means that aspirin, when taken internally prevents cartilage from repairing itself- and speeds up the progression of osteoarthritis! In similar experiments with animal cultures, other NSAIDs inhibited cartilage synthesis.\r\n\r\nIn an ironic twist of medical fate, the only NSAID that stimulates proteoglycans is benoxaprofen, now banned for causing liver and kidney damage related deaths.\r\n\r\nFurther potential damage caused by the use of NSAIDs is nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, memory loss, inability to concentrate and allergic reactions.\r\n\r\nWhat is a pain sufferer to do?\r\n\r\nA growing number of very exciting studies pouring forth from research centers and hospitals in Europe and Asia have forced health practitioners to look at specific nutrients that many feel can reverse arthritis. These nutrients have been shown in studies to provide the raw materials for cartilage regeneration. The names of these three nutritional supplements are glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and gelatin.\r\n\r\nGLUCOSAMINE\r\n\r\nGlusosamine is made of glucose, the sugar that the body burns for fuel, and an amino acid called glutamine. Glucosamine is an important part of the mucopolysachiarides, which provide structure to the bone, cartilage, skin, nails, hair, and other body tissues. It is a major building block of the water- loving proteoglycans, one of the substances that cartilage needs in order to thrive. Without these water-attracting molecules in place, there is cartilage damage. With cartilage losing its ability to absorb shock, it becomes more susceptible to cracking, fissuring, and possibly wearing through completely.\r\n\r\nGlucosamine is an all-natural source that helps relieve arthritis symptoms and reconstruct cartilage health by forming the proteoglycans that healthy cartilage must have. \r\n\r\nCHONDROITIN SULFATE\r\n\r\nThe second nutrient that works synergistically with glucosamine to enhance cartilage health and bring further relief of pain is chondroitin sulfate. Also called the \"water magnet\" or \"liquid magnet\", this supplement draws in precious depleted fluid, while protecting existing cartilage from premature breakdown. This function is crucial because the more fluid that flows into cartilage, the more shock absorbent it will become; like a dehydrated sponge that you pour water over, the cartilage becomes more cushioned.\r\n\r\nGELATIN\r\n\r\nGelatin is a source of collagen. One of the functions of collagen is to assist the body in the regeneration healthy collagen fibers. Studies in Europe now show that gelatin provides building blocks of cartilage; effectively providing nutritional support required for cartilage regeneration. Cartilage is largely made of collagen fibers. The entire structure flexibility and strength of cartilage is due to collagen fibers. The absence of collagen fibers to hold cartilage in place as buffers would result in bones grinding against each other.\r\n\r\nA study published in Therapiewoche by Adam ET. Al. (1991), using randomized double-blinded crossover trial of 52 patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis, found that gelatin supplements improved symptoms related to joint pain compared to a placebo.\r\n\r\nAnother study in 1994 by Beuker and Rosenfeld, using a randomized blinded, placebo-controlled trial of 92 geriatric patients, found that gelatin appears to have a significantly positive affect on joint health by reducing the sensation of pain and enhancing mobility compared to a placebo.','Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are two natural substances that are found in normal joint tissue and have produced tremendous results in reducing the pain and discomfort caused by arthritis.

Studies have shown that exercise helps people with arthritis in many ways. Exercise reduces joint pain and stiffness and increases flexibility, muscle strength, cardiac fitness, and endurance. It also helps with weight reduction and contributes to an improved sense of well being.\r\n\r\nHow Does Exercise Fit Into a Treatment Plan for People With Arthritis? \r\n\r\nExercise is one part of a comprehensive arthritis treatment plan. Treatment plans also may include rest and relaxation, proper diet, medication, and instruction about proper use of joints and ways to conserve energy (that is, not waste motion) as well as the use of pain relief methods.\r\n\r\nWhat Types of Exercise Are Most Suitable for Someone With Arthritis?\r\n\r\nThree types of exercise are best for people with arthritis:\r\n\r\n•	Range-of-motion exercises (e.g., dance) help maintain normal joint movement and relieve stiffness. This type of exercise helps maintain or increase flexibility.\r\n•	Strengthening exercises (e.g., weight training) help keep or increase muscle strength. Strong muscles help support and protect joints affected by arthritis.\r\n•	Aerobic or endurance exercises (e.g., bicycle riding) improve cardiovascular fitness, help control weight, and improve overall function. Weight control can be important to people who have arthritis because extra weight puts extra pressure on many joints. Some studies show that aerobic exercise can reduce inflammation in some joints. \r\n\r\nMost health clubs and community centers offer exercise programs for people with physical limitations.\r\n\r\nHow Does a Person With Arthritis Start an Exercise Program?\r\n\r\nPeople with arthritis should discuss exercise options with their doctors and other health care providers. Most doctors recommend exercise for their patients. Many people with arthritis begin with easy, range-of-motion exercises and low-impact aerobics. People with arthritis can participate in a variety of, but not all, sports and exercise programs. The doctor will know which, if any, sports are off-limits.\r\n\r\nThe doctor may have suggestions about how to get started or may refer the patient to a physical therapist. It is best to find a physical therapist that has experience working with people who have arthritis. The therapist will design an appropriate home exercise program and teach clients about pain-relief methods, proper body mechanics (placement of the body for a given task, such as lifting a heavy box), joint protection, and conserving energy.\r\n\r\nHow Often Should People With Arthritis Exercise?\r\n\r\n•	Range-of-motion exercises can be done daily and should be done at least every other day.\r\n•	Strengthening exercises should be done every other day unless you have severe pain or swelling in your joints.\r\n•	Endurance exercises should be done for 20 to 30 minutes three times a week unless you have severe pain or swelling in your joints. According to the American College of Rheumatology, 20- to 30-minute exercise routines can be performed in increments of 10 minutes over the course of a day.\r\n\r\nWhat Type of Strengthening Program Is Best?\r\n\r\nThis varies depending on personal preference, the type of arthritis involved, and how active the inflammation is. Strengthening one\'s muscles can help take the burden off painful joints. Strength training can be done with small free weights, exercise machines, isometrics, elastic bands, and resistive water exercises. Correct positioning is critical, because if done incorrectly, strengthening exercises can cause muscle tears, more pain, and more joint swelling. \r\n\r\nAre There Different Exercises for People With Different Types of Arthritis?\r\n\r\nThere are many types of arthritis. Experienced doctors, physical therapists, and occupational therapists can recommend exercises that are particularly helpful for a specific type of arthritis. \r\n\r\nDoctors and therapists also know specific exercises for particularly painful joints. There may be exercises that are off-limits for people with a particular type of arthritis or when joints are swollen and inflamed. People with arthritis should discuss their exercise plans with a doctor. Doctors who treat people with arthritis include rheumatologists, orthopedic surgeons, general practitioners, family doctors, internists, and rehabilitation specialists (physiatrists).\r\n\r\nHow Much Exercise Is Too Much?\r\n\r\nMost experts agree that if exercise causes pain that lasts for more than 1 hour, it is too strenuous. People with arthritis should work with their physical therapist or doctor to adjust their exercise program when they notice any of the following signs of strenuous exercise:\r\n\r\n•	Unusual or persistent fatigue\r\n•	Increased weakness\r\n•	Decreased range of motion\r\n•	Increased joint swelling\r\n•	Continuing pain (pain that lasts more than 1 hour after exercising)\r\n\r\nAre Researchers Studying Arthritis and Exercise?\r\n\r\nResearchers are looking at the effects of exercise and sports on the development of musculoskeletal disabilities, including arthritis. They have found that people who do moderate, regular running have low, if any, risk of developing osteoarthritis. However, studies show that people who participate in sports with high-intensity, direct joint impact are at risk for the disease. Examples are football and soccer. Sports involving repeated joint impact and twisting (such as baseball and soccer) also increase osteoarthritis risk. Early diagnosis and effective treatment of sports injuries and complete rehabilitation should decrease the risk of osteoarthritis from these injuries. \r\n\r\nResearchers also are looking at the effects of muscle strength on the development of osteoarthritis. Studies show, for example, that strengthening the quadriceps muscles can reduce knee pain and disability associated with osteoarthritis. One study shows that a relatively small increase in strength (20-25 percent) can lead to a 20-30 percent decrease in the chance of developing knee osteoarthritis. Other researchers continue to look for and find benefits from exercise to patients with rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthropathies, systemic lupus erythematosus, and fibromyalgia.

And yet, study after study illustrates how the experience of arthritis is significantly more debilitating for black Americans. For instance, there is the recent study finding that black Americans more often ranked arthritis as their primary source of physical limitation; black Americans experienced greater pain severity; and black Americans were less likely to see a physician about their arthritis problems. Then there is the Center for Disease Control\'s study before that: the study reported a higher rate of physical limitation attributable to arthritis among black Americans even while the prevalence of arthritis was similar between White and black Americans. So what\'s going on here? There is a noted racial disparity, but what are we to make of it?\r\n\r\nWell, the reasons aren\'t entirely known and, given the stakes and sensitivity of the question, there is little jumping to conclusions. But however tentative, any answer starts with a consideration of the chronic under treatment that black Americans are prone to. Primarily, this under treatment is a consequence of inadequate health services, which, in turn, is a consequence of economic disparity. Disadvantaged, often city-dwelling black Americans simply cannot afford regular access to the best and usually most expensive doctors who would reliably know what action to take and what medicines to prescribe. Instead, the alternatives are overworked hospitals and clinics with a lower paid staff and poorer grade facilities.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, there is the black American\'s increased risk of obesity. As a definite precondition to arthritis, this increased risk reveals the same force of economic disadvantage. Walk along any city block and compare the price of milk and eggs to the price of a can of coke and a bag of chips. The sad fact is it is far cheaper to eat poorly. Alongside limited medical resources, this nutritional deficit may go a long way to explain why arthritis comes with greater severity and with greater physical limitations.\r\n\r\nBeyond socioeconomic trends, chronic under treatment might also spring from an indifferent doctor-patient relationship. Under treatment operates at many levels and both ways: just as a good doctor knows what the correct diagnosis is and what the proper treatment should be, the patient must be willing to volunteer the information of what hurts, when it hurts etc. Both appear to be lacking for black Americans. A telephone survey recently found black Americans to be less participatory during doctor\'s visits especially when the doctor was white. The study found the same decrease in participation for white Americans with a black doctor. Comfort ability and trust seem to be at issue here and unlike the ideas of \"resources\" and \"access\", this problem turns on a more personal dynamic, perhaps seated in larger ideas of diversity and multiculturalism.\r\n\r\nAt the same time, the question of arthritis\' differing impact doesn\'t appear to have a viable genetic component not yet at least. Remember, there was a similar prevalence of condition that suggests a similar genetic risk in all races. Furthermore, a team of scientists studied the genetics of four major racial/ethnic groups (Black, White, Hispanic and East Asian) to find only \"modest\" genetic differences between the four. Of course, this isn\'t to say genetics won\'t play a part in treatment pending future scientific discoveries. But for now, the cultural and economic challenges seem the most glaring factors in this important disparity\r\n','Arthritis is one of the most common chronic pain conditions in America, diagnosed in about 21% of the adult population.

In the public health world however, arthritis is used as a shorthand term for arthritis and other rheumatic conditions—a label for the more than 100 rheumatic diseases and conditions that affect joints, the tissues that surround joints and other connective tissue. The pattern, severity, and location of symptoms can vary depending on the specific form of the disease. Typically, rheumatic conditions are characterized by pain and stiffness in and around one or more joints. The symptoms can develop gradually or suddenly. Certain rheumatic conditions can also involve the immune system and various internal organs of the body. \r\n\r\nWho is at risk for arthritis? \r\n\r\nCertain factors are associated with a greater risk of arthritis. Some of these risk factors are modifiable while others are not. \r\n\r\nNon-modifiable risk factors \r\n\r\no	Age: The risk of developing most types of arthritis increases with age. \r\no	Gender: Most types of arthritis are more common in women, accounting for 60% of all cases. Gout is more common in men. \r\no	Genetic: Genes have been identified that are associated with a higher risk of certain types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). \r\nModifiable risk factors \r\no	Overweight and Obesity: Excess weight can contribute to both the onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis. \r\no	Joint Injuries: Damage to a joint can contribute to the development of osteoarthritis in that joint. \r\no	Infection: Many microbial agents can infect joints and potentially cause the development of various forms of arthritis. \r\no	Occupation: Certain occupations involving repetitive knee bending are associated with osteoarthritis of the knee. \r\n\r\nWhat causes arthritis? \r\n\r\nElevated uric acid levels cause gout, and specific infections can cause arthritis of a joint. The causes of many of the other forms of arthritis are unknown. Scientists are studying the role of factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and environment on the various types of arthritis.\r\n\r\nWhat are the most common types of arthritis?\r\n\r\nThe most common form of arthritis in the Unites States is osteoarthritis followed by gout, fibromyalgia, and rheumatoid arthritis.\r\n\r\nWhat are the symptoms of arthritis? \r\n\r\nThe pattern and location of symptoms can vary depending on the types of arthritis. Generally, people with arthritis feel pain and stiffness in and around one or more joints. The onset of arthritis symptoms can develop gradually or suddenly. Arthritis is most often a chronic disease, so symptoms may come and go, or persist over time.\r\n\r\nWhat should I do if I think I have arthritis?\r\n\r\nIf you have pain, stiffness, or swelling in or around one or more of your joints, talk to your doctor. It is important to keep in mind that there are many forms of arthritis, the specific diagnosis of the type of arthritis you have is necessary to direct the proper treatment. Although there is no cure for most types of arthritis, early diagnosis and appropriate management are important, especially for inflammatory types of arthritis. For example, early use of disease-modifying drugs can affect the course of rheumatoid arthritis. An early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can make a difference in pain and joint damage. The earlier you understand your arthritis, the earlier you can start managing your disease and making healthy lifestyle changes to help your arthritis.\r\n\r\nCan I prevent arthritis?\r\n\r\nDepending on the form of arthritis, there are steps that can be taken to reduce your risk of arthritis. Maintaining an appropriate body weight has been shown to decrease the risk of developing osteoarthritis and gout. Protecting your joints from injuries or overuse can reduce the risk of osteoarthritis.\r\n\r\nHow is arthritis diagnosed?\r\n\r\nDiagnosing arthritis often includes a detailed medical history of current and past symptoms, physical examination, x-rays, and blood work to determine the type of arthritis. It is possible to have more than one form of arthritis at the same time.\r\n\r\nWhat are the treatments for arthritis?\r\n\r\nThe focus of treatment for arthritis is to control pain, minimize joint damage, and to improve or maintain function and quality of life. According to the American College of Rheumatology, the treatment of arthritis might involve the following:\r\n\r\no	Medication. \r\no	Nonpharmacologic therapies \r\n	Physical or occupational therapy. \r\n	Splints or joint assistive aids. \r\n	Patient education and support. \r\n	Weight loss. \r\no	Surgery. \r\n\r\nIn conjunction with medical treatment, self-management of arthritis pain and symptoms is very important as well. The Arthritis Self-Help Course is an effective self-management education program for people with arthritis developed by Dr. Kate Lorig of Stanford University. The course helps people learn and practice the different skills needed to build an individualized self-management program and gain the confidence to carry it out.\r\n\r\nHow can I manage arthritis pain? \r\n\r\nMedical treatment of arthritis pain and self-management strategies is very important. The Arthritis Self-Help Course (ASHC) is an effective self-management education intervention for people with arthritis. The ASHC, developed by Dr. Kate Lorig of Stanford University, helps people learn and practice the different skills needed to build an individualized self-management program and gain the confidence to carry it out.\r\n\r\nHow many people in the United States have arthritis?\r\n\r\nIn 2002, an estimated 43 million Americans had doctor-diagnosed arthritis and an additional 23 million adults had chronic joint symptoms but have not been diagnosed with arthritis. As our nation’s population ages, the prevalence is expected to increase.\r\n\r\nHow many children have arthritis? \r\n\r\nThe answer to this question is not currently known with much certainty. Estimates vary and range from 80,000 to 285,000, depending on the definition of arthritis among children, age ranges for children, and the different methods used to find cases. The small size of most studies can also lead to chance variation in estimates. \r\n\r\nIs exercise recommended for people who have arthritis? \r\n\r\nRecent studies have shown that moderate physical activity 3 or more days a week can help to relieve arthritis pain and stiffness and give you more energy. Regular physical activity can also lift your mood and make you feel more positive. \r\n\r\nAn activity that provides a slight increase in heart rate or breathing is considered moderate physical activity. Low-impact activities performed at a moderate pace work best for people with arthritis. These include walking, swimming, and riding a bicycle. Everyday activities such as dancing, gardening, and washing the car can be good if done at a moderate pace that produces slight breathing and heart rate changes. \r\n\r\nIf you are having an acute flare-up of your inflammatory arthritis, it may be better to restrict your exercise to simple range of motion (carefully moving the joint as far as it can go) during the flare-up.\r\n\r\nHow does body weight influence arthritis? \r\n\r\nWeight control is essential, because extra pounds put extra pressure on many joints. Research suggests that maintaining a healthy weight reduces the risk of developing arthritis and may decrease disease progression. A loss of just 11 pounds can decrease the occurrence (incidence) of knee osteoarthritis.

While the risks of using steroids long term such as breakdown of bone tissue are generally well known, we are only now learning about the harmful side effects of prescription NSAIDS.\r\n\r\nArthritis pain relief medications such as the popular COX-2 inhibitors Bextra and Vioxx, have been put on hold since evidence that they might be linked to some serious problems, such as kidney and heart failure, hardening of the arteries and increased blood pressure. These are only some of the side effects reported, and are more often seen in the elderly, who were frequently prescribed these pills for arthritis and joint pain.\r\n\r\nNarcotic pain medicine for arthritis, such as codeine or hydrocodone (Vicodin) comes with plenty of its own problems, the most serious of which is the potential to get addicted to it after long term use. Moreover, the body has a tendency to build up a resistance to these pain medications over time, which means that the patient must use larger doses of the narcotic to find relief, leading to the possibility of respiratory failure and even death.\r\n\r\nMany people are now turning to alternative medicine for arthritis in the hope of getting lasting relief from their symptoms without the risks associated with pharmaceutical arthritis pain relief medication. There are many excellent natural choices that can stand on their own, but for those who don\'t have the time or inclination to mix and match ingredients until they find the right combination there are combination supplements which incorporate a host of trusted herbal ingredients to help your body create a natural pain response to deal with pain in the long term.\r\n\r\nAlternative medicine for arthritis can also take the form of using supplements to help rebuild and strengthen the stiff or broken down cartilage that results from the disease. Supplements such as MSM, glucosamine and chondroitin are well known for their ability to help the body strengthen and repair joint cartilage, and using the three combined is a powerful \"triple whammy\" that will help your body replace, rebuild and repair the damage already caused to get you back on your feet.\r\n\r\nThe pharmaceutical industry has made arthritis pain relief medicine big business, but it seems that in their hurry to get these drugs out on the market, they may have sidestepped some important information. Chronic sufferers claim that using natural pain medicine for arthritis is almost always a better choice, as these remedies have been trusted for years and have few side effects.\r\n','Arthritis pain relief medicine can seem like a miracle to those who suffer this debilitating disease, but with more and more of the widely prescribed drugs that seemed to be working so well for people, are being pulled from the shelves and recalled because of widespread side effects, many people are turning to alternative medicine for arthritis pain relief.\r\n\r','',1214505838,1),(169,169,1,'Over 100 Possible Symptoms','Arthritis isn\'t a one-note story or even a few variations on a single theme; it actually consists of more than 100 different conditions. These can be anything from relatively mild forms of tendonitis (as in \'tennis elbow\') and bursitis to crippling systemic forms, such as rheumatoid arthritis. There are pain syndromes like fibromyalgia and arthritis-related disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, that involve every part of the body. There are forms of the disease, such as gout, that almost nobody connects with arthritis, and there are other conditions - like osteoarthritis, the misnamed \'wear and tear\' arthritis - that a good many people think is the only form of the disease.\r\n\r\nWho can get arthritis? \r\n\r\nTrue, many older people do have arthritis, but it\'s not just a disease of the old. Some forms of arthritis affect children still in nappies, while thousands of people are stricken in the prime of their lives. The common denominator for all these conditions is joint and musculoskeletal pain, which is why they are grouped together as \'arthritis.\' Often that pain is a result of inflammation of the joint lining.\r\n\r\nInflammation is involved in many forms of arthritis. It is the body\'s natural response to injury. The warning signs that inflammation presents are: - redness, swelling, heat and pain. These are the same kinds of reaction the body has to a sliver in the hand, for example. When a joint becomes inflamed, it may get any or all of these symptoms. This can prevent the normal use of the joint and therefore it can cause the loss of flexibility of the joint. \r\n\r\nAnatomy of a Joint\r\n\r\nThere are more than 100 joints connecting the body\'s 206 bones. Most of the major bone connections in the body are joints designed to allow a broad range of motion. There are different kinds for different functions: ball-and-socket (hips and shoulders), saddle joints (which connect thumb to hand), hinge joints (fingers and knees) or pivot joints (wrists).\r\n\r\nTied together by ligaments, the bones of joints are capped with a smooth substance called cartilage. This tough elastic material acts as a shock absorber and allows the bone ends to glide smoothly across each other. If the cartilage is destroyed (as in osteoarthritis), the bones of a joint can grind against each other causing pain, loss of mobility, deformity and dysfunction.\r\n\r\nBetween the bones is a joint cavity, which gives the bones room to move. A capsule that’s flexible, yet strong enough to protect the joint against dislocation encloses the joint space between two bones. The inner lining of this capsule, the synovium, produces a thick fluid that lubricates and nourishes the joint. In many forms of arthritis, the synovium becomes inflamed and thickened, producing extra fluid, which contains inflammatory cells. The inflamed synovium and fluid can damage the cartilage and underlying bone.\r\n\r\nTreatment of arthritis\r\n\r\nNo one knows what causes arthritis, though scientists have uncovered a host of clues. Something can be done to manage most forms of arthritis, but it\'s very important that a correct diagnosis is established early. Most therapies work best when started early in the disease process. Then proper medication can be distributed to ease the pain of arthritis.','Arthritis isn\'t a one-note story or even a few variations on a single theme; it actually consists of more than 100 different conditions.

If so, you would be mistaken. It was thought for many years that if you had arthritis you should not exercise because it would damage your joints. Now, however, research has shown that exercise is an essential tool in managing your arthritis. \r\n\r\nRegular, moderate exercise offers a whole host of benefits to people with arthritis. Mainly, exercise reduces joint pain and stiffness, builds strong muscle around the joints, and increases flexibility and endurance. But it also helps promote overall health and fitness by giving you more energy, helping you sleep better, controlling your weight, decreasing depression, and improving your self-esteem. Furthermore, exercise can help stave off other health problems such as osteoporosis and heart disease. \r\n\r\nStarting an exercise program can seem like a daunting proposition. The important thing to remember is to start slow and make it fun. It is always good to start with flexibility exercises, which are basically stretching exercises that will improve your range of motion and help you perform daily activities. Once you feel comfortable you can move on to weight training and endurance exercises such as bicycling. You may be reluctant to exercise because you are in such pain. If this is the case you may want to start with a water exercise program. In the water your body\'s buoyancy reduces stress on your hips, knees, and spine. \r\n\r\nAn exercise program can include anything from walking around the block, taking a yoga class, or playing a round of golf.

There is evidence that one type of arthritis of the spine - ankylosing spondylitis - and gouty arthritis are inherited, but other common forms such as osteoarthritis and rhuematoid arthritis show only a weak tendency to be inherited.\r\n\r\nQuestion 2\r\nIs it possible that my children will contract arthritis?\r\n\r\nApart from a few rare forms of arthritis, there is little danger that your children will develop arthritis. Gout is inherited but usually skips a generation, so the grandson may be affected but not the son. \r\n\r\nQuestion 3\r\nAre physically active people more prone to arthritis?\r\n\r\nAs far as physically active people are concerned, there are certainly some occupations, which predispose to arthritis, in particular osteoarthritis. Miners who have to kneel to dig in the coal-seam are prone to develop arthritis of their spines and knees. Footballers also tend to develop arthritis of their knees and ankles with the repeated injuries they receive to these parts while playing. There is no evidence that someone who is generally physically active and who is not exposed to injury in sport or by virtue of his occupation, is any more prone to develop arthritis than is the individual who does not take much exercise. \r\n\r\nQuestion 4\r\nWhat are the psychological effects of arthritis?\r\n\r\nThese vary in different people. In the early stages, most people are fearful and anxious about what will happen to them, how their lives will be affected and how bad the pain will be. Young people often attempt to deny the presence of their arthritis. Another reaction is frustration, irritability and anger at the difficulty or time it takes to do simple tasks. Depression and withdrawal from society may occur in people with chronic arthritis, especially if pain is prolonged and sleep difficult. Most people with arthritis, however, learn to cope with their disabilities and remain cheerful and outgoing.\r\n\r\nQuestion 5\r\nDoes climate affect my arthritis?\r\n\r\nLiving in a cold damp climate may make you feel your arthritis more than living in a hot, dry one. Change of weather, such as a rise in humidity and a fall in barometric pressure may also make the joints worse temporarily, but not everyone with arthritis can predict weather change. Climate does not otherwise have an effect on the arthritis and it will not make its course any worse in the long term. Thus, theoretically, a warm climate with low humidity would be best but such places are not without people suffering from arthritis and no place in the world has a reputation for curing arthritis. \r\n\r\nQuestion 6\r\nWhy does treatment only appear to help some people?\r\n\r\nThis is usually because among the people who improve are those with different sorts of arthritis, some of which get better without treatment.  Moreover, certain chronic types of arthritis may vary in their severity from time to time and appear to be cured.  In pregnancy and jaundice, arthritis may spontaneously improve for months on end.\r\n\r\nQuestion 7\r\nWhen I have a bad day, how can I tell it\'s just my arthritis, and not something else?\r\n\r\nEveryone has bad days and someone with arthritis is no exception.  Arthritis being a chronic painful disease can make a person feel very tired in the evening in addition to causing pain and stiffness.  If you are worried that you are feeling more tired than you would expect from your arthritis, you should consult your doctor about this.  Anxiety, depression and anemia are common causes of fatigue.\r\n \r\nQuestion 8\r\nDoes arthritis produce any new symptoms or are these purely side effects from my pills?\r\n\r\nMany forms of arthritis produce symptoms in addition to those of pain, swelling and tenderness in the joints.  They may also affect the skin, eyes and internal organs.  Other symptoms may be due to the medications you are taking, so you should consult your doctor about new symptoms.\r\n\r\nQuestion 9\r\nWhat is ESR?\r\n\r\nESR is the initials standing for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, commonly known as \'sed rate\'.  It measures the amount of inflammation when an arthritis problem is present. A high sed rate means a high amount of inflammation.  This is an old and simple test, which consists of determining the rate at which the red blood cells in the blood settle in a tube when it is left standing for an hour.  Normally the red cells will settle at the rate of no more than 15mm of fall in the first hour, but in severe cases of arthritis they exceed 50mm. If there is no inflammation, the sedimentation rate is usually less than 20 mm per hour. This is a very common test that may be repeated fairly frequently, depending on the course and activity of the disease. The ESR is useful as a guide to the doctor of activity of arthritis and is helpful in determining treatment and progress.\r\n\r\n\r\nQuestion 10\r\nCan arthritis conceal the symptoms of other diseases? \r\n\r\nIn general, arthritis produces a fairly characteristic clinical picture.  Your doctor will be able to advise you if any symptoms you are having due to the arthritis or to some other disease.  In general, arthritis does not conceal symptoms of other illnesses.\r\n','Question 1\r\nIs arthritis hereditary?\r\n\r\nThere are some forms of arthritis, which are clearly inherited, but most are not.

During a routine check up it was suggested that I make an appointment at my local hospital so they could get to the bottom of my back pain once and for all.  Following the briefest of consultations it was suggested that I have a routine exploratory operation. I was told that I would be ...&quot;Back to work before I knew it...&quot;\r\n						</p>\r\n						<p>\r\n						<b>Tragic \'Accident\' Left Me In Agonising Pain For Over 16 Years!</b>\r\n						</p>\r\n						</td>\r\n					</tr>\r\n				</tbody>\r\n			</table>\r\n			          </td>\r\n		</tr>\r\n	</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<p>\r\nI was to be one of a handful of patients to be injected with a dye (Myodil) which would travel around my body hi-lighting any \'problem area\'. The drug itself was being tested by one of the World\'s richest pharmaceutical companies. Unfortunately the Myodil dye stayed in my body causing a chronic medical condition known as \'Arachnoiditis\'.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nYears after my \'operation\' I learned that thousands of other people had also suffered the same fate as a result of the \'myodil\' dye. The WORLD-LEADING pharmaceutical company found themselves faced with a CLASS ACTION SUIT being brought against them and subsequently made an <b>OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT TO OVER 15,000 CLIENTS TOTALLING $$$ MILLIONS $$$ OF DOLLARS!</b><img src=\"http://www.challenorproperty.com/images/true.jpg\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" height=\"105\" width=\"150\" />\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAs for me I can remember waking up from the operation as though it was yesterday. As I opened my eyes I can remember immediately knowing that something was wrong. What followed can only be described as <b>16 years of the most heart wrenching joint pain...</b>\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nMy world had changed...It was though God had put me back in someone else\'s body - the first feeling in my body was of cramp in my left toes - or was it my right? I was confused...my mind was telling me that cramp in BOTH feet at the same time was not possible...but my body was telling me something very different.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nWithin a few minutes I realised that it wasn\'t cramp - and within the hour I was getting similar pains in every joint beneath my waist. The pain killing drugs they gave me that night were to be the \'cure all\'...But when I woke the next morning I realised that the nightmare was just beginning.  For over 16 years every joint in my body suffered such unspeakable pain that my life was limited to finding ways to cope with it...\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<b>I Tried:</b>\r\n</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><b> Drugs -</b> everything from mild analgesics to hugely expensive over the counter morphine based drugs which made me at best nauseous and at worst violently sick - None of them helped my pain</li>\r\n	<li><b>Herbs -</b> including all sorts of potions and panaceas\' touted by people who made a living out of preying on the vulnerable - Not one of them could alleviate my joint pain even in the slightest</li>\r\n	<li> <b>Doctors visits -</b> Doctors were just the start, and over the years I ended up going from specialist to specialist all trying to fathom out how to get the myodil (the poisoned dye) BACK OUT of my body but my pain just continued to worsen</li>\r\n	<li><b>Exercise -</b> Including Yoga, meditation and subliminal suggestion - Again, my pain levels at best just levelled off and at worse continued to spread further into my joints</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>\r\nI Was In Horrendous Pain\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nBy this time my dignity had long gone. The joint pain I was suffering was so bad that I would cry myself to sleep every night, openly and selfishly looking for sympathy to help ease the pain.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nBut Could All the Pain Have Been Avoided?\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAnd then - just as freakily as it had begun - the whole nightmare ended - and with a BANG!\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nIt had been rumoured throughout the legal battle that as well as some of the smartest intellectual law minds in the land the pharmaceutical giant had also hired some of the world\'s top medical minds in an attempt to \'do the right thing\' and find a cure to the horrendous joint pain that people were now suffering.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nWhat I am about to share with you is the secret which enabled me to banish the pain that had hounded me for nearly 16 years. I am not an expert but it wouldn\'t surprise me if what you are about to read even saved BILLIONS OF DOLLARS for one of the largest and most successful pharmaceutical firms in the world!\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\n<b>Was It A Doctor With A CONSCIENCE?</b>\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nI had never given up hope that one day there would be a CURE for my JOINT PAIN but I did not have the necessary finances to join the legal fight that was going on, and so my only choice was to keep watching from the side-lines to see if there would EVER be relief for all of us who were suffering from debilitating joint pain...And then, one day a letter came which transformed my life.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nTo this day I still do not know who dropped the envelope through my door. The usual daily post had been delivered hours earlier, so as soon as I saw it half edged between the stair rim and my old hat stand I knew what it was...Although I made my usual whine with pain as I bent down to pick up the envelope, somehow that morning the pain didn\'t seem to bother me the way it had done for all those years...it\'s as though my subconscious already knew what was inside...\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nFor the avoidance of doubt I am going to re-produce what was inside the letter word for word -\r\n</p>\r\n<table align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#f9f9f9\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"90%\">\r\n	<tbody>\r\n		<tr>\r\n			<td style=\"border: 1px dashed #999999; padding: 10px\">\r\n			<p>\r\n			&quot;My dearest friend,\r\n			</p>\r\n			<p>\r\n			I understand that for a long time now, your health has not been good and that you have been suffering from the most acute joint pain. I know how bad your pain is and I also know where it affects you. I had so dearly wanted to send you this letter some time ago - but it was important that I did not give you false hope, and I needed to be sure of what I was able to do for you.\r\n			</p>\r\n			<p>\r\n			Before giving you what you have been waiting for for so long, I would like to thank you for how brave you have been. Your pain has probably affected your quality of life in a way that one can only imagine. However, the time has come to take your pain away...\r\n			</p>\r\n			<p>\r\n			In the rest of this document you will find the EXACT steps to take which will banish your joint pain forever. If your knuckles have been swollen then the swelling should go. If your knees have been grinding in agony every time you bend then almost immediately the pain should also lift. Please follow what you are about to read, because that is the only thing you will need do in order to regain the pain free life you have been longing for.\r\n			</p>\r\n			<p>\r\n			If you know anyone else with similar pain then you may wish to pass on the favour I am sending you.\r\n			</p>\r\n			<p>\r\n			Signed... \r\n			</p>\r\n			<p>\r\n			A Well-Wisher\r\n			</p>\r\n			</td>\r\n		</tr>\r\n	</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<p>\r\nAs I read those words I felt as though someone had lifted the World off my shoulders.\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAs I continued to read what was inside, it became clear that whoever was behind the \'miracle\' was leaving nothing to chance - there was a detailed section covering every single possible joint in the body which could suffer pain...\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nThe whole thing just left me speechless\r\n</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>  Why hadn\'t somebody told me what to do years ago?</li>\r\n	<li> Why leave me all of these years suffering in silence?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>\r\nI started to wonder whether the court case had finally given \'them\' sufficient motivation to FIND a cure for joint pain, but the Truth is that I will probably never know why I was given this MIRACLE CURE.

And YOU CAN BE TOO!\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nOf course at first I was sceptical - I had no choice to be anything other than sceptical - but I had nothing to lose - and soon as I realised that what I was being told had possibly NEVER been divulged before then it all made sense - all I had to do was give it a try...\r\n</p>\r\n<p>\r\nAfter 16 years of gut wrenching joint pain I had become pain free in a matter of weeks - with the majority of all of my joint pain disappearing within the first seven days.\r\n</p>\r\n<hr style=\"color: #cccccc\" noshade=\"noshade\" />\r\n<p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n</p>\r\n<h1>Now You Can Live Pain-Free Again!</h1>\r\n<p>\r\nAt last you have the opportunity of living your life the way you used to WITHOUT counting every second in your head with the pain that is currently seething through your joints.
