Arthritis most often affects the joints. Joints are parts of the body where bones meet, such as you knees, elbows, wrists, ankle and even fingers. The end of the bones are covered by cartilage, a spongy material that acts as a shock absorber to keep bones from rubbing together. The joint is enclosed in a capsule called the synovium which serves as the lubricant to the joint, that helps the joint to move smoothly and easily.

Rheumatic frequently happens to the areas of joint, muscle and bone, including other body tissues. It is divided into two types of illness; pain in knee and pelvis joint and pain in all joint. The former type is called as osteoarthritis and the latter type is called as rheumatoid arthritis. Both of them are affected by two factors; internal and external factors. Everybody can get those illnesses, but there is no medicine for recovery until now. Available medicine just reduces or minimize feel of pain and anti inflammation. Internal factor indicates that there is hoarding of lactic acid. This acid should return to liver and changed to become glucose as previous, but most of acid get sediment along muscles. The external factors are microbes causing tuberculosis, inflammation of lungs and streptococcus of throat or serious infection. In addition, there are the stimulant of plant and animal development, consumption of too much medicine or excessive works. this rheumatic is naturally relieved with 4-6 normalizations based on our experience for years.

Rheumatic is identical to pain in joint, muscle and bone. Recently rheumatic is not only suffered by old people. But, it has been felt by relatively young people. It may be caused by a lot of medicine for stimulating development of plants and animals.
Based on the classification, pain around knee and joint is called osteo arthritis, whereas pain in joint on the whole is called rheumatoid arthritis.
Pain appears because of inflammation of joint and muscles around it. It can be affected by cold air, extra activity or increasing drastically sedimentation in the part.
Hopefully, the sufferers of thees illness will get relieved soon, here are probaby some suggestions;
What needs avoiding from being rheumatic?
• If being often tired and hard to relieve, immediately contact PENNASIA NORMALIZATION (the address in the back page)
• Avoid over work and less attention to body warning. Ensure that need of mineral in bones and muscles is fulfilled everyday
• Break time after doing exercise, make position of legs straight and shake them relaxed. Avoid bent-up position less than 90 degrees for smoother blood circulation
• Avoid over weight. Not for those of over weight suffer this pain. But most of sufferers with pain in knee are people with quite over weight.
• Avoid feeling too strong and exhausted defensive because it can be “boomerang”. Feeling tired is information from body and it doesn’t need denying.
• Avoid taking a bath in the evening. To take a bath should be better after not being tired
• For fatter physique, it needs to keep part of knee more carefully
What’s better to do if getting this pain?
• PENNASIA NORMALIZATION can help you to be healthy immediately and be avoided from addiction to analgesic
• It can try with medicine and herb being able to be accounted for
• Avoid herb mixed with chemical substance and uncontrolled portion, or affecting addiction
• The painful part is not massaged because it can get swelled and more serious
• Fulfil the need of mineral for bone and muscle (calcium and magnesium) because body needs them every day
• Avoid synthetic medicine in a long term because it can affect disturbance of gastric, kidney, liver and calcification
