The Inflammation Revolution: A Natural Solution for Arthritis, Asthma & Other Inflammatory Disorders

Over two decades ago, researchers observed that the coastal-dwelling Maori-the native people of New Zealand-had a far lower incidence of arthritis-related disease than those Maori who lived inland. In fact, those living inland had the same incidence of arthritis as the New Zealanders of European origin. After years of studying this medical phenomenon, researchers discovered that the incredibly low incidence of arthritis was due to diet-in particular, to the Maori's consumption of raw green-lipped mussels. There was something in this New Zealand delicacy that reduced arthritis by decreasing inflammation. Here is the story of this exciting discovery.
