ISABELLA VALENZA
AGE: 67
OCCUPATION: Retired
HEALTH ISSUE: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
SYMPTOMS: As I hit my golden years, I began to experience swelling and stiffness in my joints—especially those in my hands. I was also feeling much more fatigued than usual.
HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS: After receiving my diagnosis, I went to see a naturopath to discuss natural, alternative treatments for RA. He recommended that I try a cat’s claw supplement to target joint pain and swelling at the source. He also started me on an acupuncture regimen, which was meant to reduce my pain levels.
THE RESULTS: Although flare-ups do happen, I’ve noticed a reduction in my overall pain and discomfort.
