Dear Reader,
Pretty much every day, at least one patient tells me his joints hurt. I've seen lots of otherwise healthy patients restricted or held back - some have trouble just getting out of bed in the morning. I sympathize. Especially since I've had joint pain myself...
You see, I'm a gardener at heart. I have 60 kinds of palm tress and 30 different tropical fruit trees on my ranch house in Florida. It's my favorite place to work outside.
Last year, I converted my bananas plants to organic and brought in a ton of cow manure. I worked about a half-acre by hand. All that shoveling and hoeing was too much and my right shoulder started burning like fire but I just kept right on going. Eventually the stiffness and discomfort made working in my garden almost impossible.
In trying to find effective pain relief - without side effects - I reviewed just about every formula on the market. And I have to say, I was disappointed with about 98 percent of the natural stuff out there. They didn't cause any problems but they just didn't work.
I found they all had one thing in common: None of them addressed the underlying cause of my joint deficiency that made it susceptible to inflammation in the first place...
Your Diet is Missing the "Building Blocks" to Live Pain Free - Naturally
My medical school professors told me that joint degeneration and pain is a natural and unavoidable part of the aging process. Truth is, there's nothing natural about the increasing prevalence of joint pain I see in my clinic.
For eons, the bone record tells us that our ancestors rarely suffered from arthritis, swollen joints or the type of chronic degeneration of the joints that is so common today. Their native diet supplied them with all the micronutrients that prevent joint pain naturally.
The "hunter-gatherers" had easy access to the fresh meat of wild game and fish along with seasonal fresh plants that gave them everything they needed to live pain free.
This diet, very much different from ours, gave them glycoproteins, amino acids and other nutrients missing today to produce cartilage, synovial fluid and connective tissue. And, their diet naturally prevented inflammation - the root cause of chronic degeneration of the joints with all it's pain and subsequent loss of mobility.
Yet go to any run-of-the-mill doctor and you're not likely going to hear a word about this nutrition problem. They're likely to hand you a prescription for painkilling drug. Problem is, a drug can't possibly fix your deficiency.
Aside from the increased risk of heart attack and unnecessary deaths from these drugs, there's not a shred of evidence they're any more effective than aspirin! But doctors continue to dole out prescriptions - despite the risks, the side effects and the poor results.
But you can replace these "building blocks" and restore your ability to maintain and repair your joints naturally.
Combine the 3 Best Joint Nutrients in the Modern World...
I have no more pain in my shoulder, despite the fact that I work as hard as ever. I found the major joint nutrients lacking and put just the right amount of these ingredients into a new formula. After using it myself, I tried it in patients - and it works. Here's how:
- MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): Since prehistory, man has known about - and sought - sulfur springs and baths to treat wounds, injuries and ailments of every sort. Thousands of years ago, Trojan warriors carried sick and wounded soldiers to the sulfur baths at Agamemnon. They knew sulfur helped injured soldiers to heal and recover.
MSM is an organic kind of sulfur. Think of it as a "sulfur spring in supplement form." In the old days, you used to get a natural supply of it in your drinking water. But today, it gets filtered out by your local city or your bottled water supplier.
MSM provides biologically active sulfur that you need to function. You can find it in all untreated meats, fruits and vegetables growing in their native soils. But you're not getting enough from your modern diet - or your water - to help your ailing joints.
Like the sulfur springs that soothed the aching, injured joints of Trojan warriors, MSM reverses inflammation. It does this by improving "cell flow-through." MSM prevents pressure buildup in your cells by letting the bad stuff flow out and the nutrients flow in.
Many doctors don't realize this, but pressure and toxin build up in your cells is a prime cause of inflammation. Release this pressure and inflammation and pain go away. Taking Tylenol or Aleve simply treats the "symptom" by blocking the perception of pain. MSM goes to the root of the problem by eliminating the cause of your pain.
A study published in Osteoarthritis Cartilage, found that MSM "produced significant decreases in pain and physical function impairment for patients with osteoarthritis..."1
Other research shows MSM:
Dramatically reduces inflammation
Boosts blood supply to painful areas
Relieves muscle spasms
Softens scar tissue
- Glucosamine Sulfate: I'm sure you've heard of glucosamine. But there are different kinds, and the quality varies greatly. (Be careful of quality if you buy glucosamine.)
Bioactive glucosamine sulfate, NOT chemical glucosamine HCL works wonders for your joints. It heals connective tissue and rebuilds cartilage. Without it your cartilage and connective tissue decline in thickness until eventually, you could have bone grinding on bone - and that's every bit as painful as it sounds.
In 2001, the prestigious British medical journal Lancet confirmed this action and the long-term effectiveness of glucosamine sulfate. They found that glucosamine sulfate stopped loss of cartilage in patients with osteoarthritis in their knees for 3 years.2
No prescription drug in the history of medicine has EVER stopped the progression of osteoarthritis! And glucosamine sulfate does it with no side effects...
I read another study just published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine where a remarkable 77% reported a dramatic reduction of pain. And 69% said the "physical function" of their joints improved, giving them greater freedom and mobility. I've never seen, or used, a drug with that high a percentage improvement in joint function.3
- Ginger Root: When I was a boy, my grandmother used to give me ginger tea when I sprained a joint or got a "Charlie horse" from playing outside. She called it an "old time cure." In fact, ginger root may be the oldest herbal pain relief known. It's been used for thousands of years in ancient China and India - and later by medieval Europeans.
Ginger root works with remarkable speed. You feel the relief right away. It works by blocking "prostaglandins" - those pesky molecules that add pressure to your cells.
At the University of Miami, researchers gave guys with knee arthritis ginger root or a dummy pill and measured knee pain when they stood up from a sitting position. For those taking ginger root, 68% said they felt a dramatic decrease in pain after standing up.4
The Department of Environmental Medicine in Denmark gave ginger root to arthritis and muscle pain victims. In the arthritis group 75% experienced pain relief with no side effects. In the muscle pain group, an amazing 100% of the people reported pain relief.5
In all my years of medicine, I've never seen a single drug study that recorded 100% results like this - even the ones paid for by the people trying to sell the drug. That's why I made my own formula...
These 3 natural ingredients wiped out my shoulder pain and helped me do what I love the most - work like I mean it - in my garden.
After using these nutrients to get rid of my shoulder pain, I made it available to my patients. Since then, I've had lots of good news...
"I was so fed up with joint pain formulas, I almost got angry when Dr. Sears gave me his natural formula... But my frustration quickly turned around... My back pain, which had bothered me for years, went down by about 90%! And my knees aren't stiff anymore... I was in shock. When I went to my next office visit, I threw my arms around Dr. Sears and gave him a big hug."

Now YOU can Get the SAME Pain Relief I Get Everyday...
For the first time, Primal Flex is available to you. But first, I have one more thing for even healthier joints: It works together with Primal Flex to produce healthier joints.
My secret? Good-old-fashioned cod liver oil - with one modern caveat...
In the UK, cod liver oil worked for 86% of arthritis patients to significantly reduce the harmful chemicals that cause degeneration of joint cartilage.6 The BBC quoted, "Cod liver oil has a dual mode of action, potentially slowing down the cartilage degeneration inherent in osteoarthritis and reducing factors that cause pain and inflammation."7
But many modern sources of fish oils are polluted. Be careful to avoid mercury and toxic PCB's. I only use oils doubly filtered and checked to have zero mercury and PCB's.
You can combine Primal Flex and Cod Liver Oil to get a double-barrel approach to pain relief that has made all the difference for me. Now it's your turn...
