Neprinol Case Study Osteoarthritis
Study Subject: 45 y/o Male construction worker, recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis.
Initial Visit
Subjective: Chronic Pain & Inflammation of the wrist and elbow joints (both arms). Uses OTC ibuprofen for relief, regularly.
Objective: Labs showed very high C-reactive protein, high ESR, high platelets, & high Globulin values. Digital Video Blood Microscopy showed significant protein polymerization (oxidative stress), raised platelets, raised poikilocytes, raised fibrin and raised WBCs.
Treatment: 3 Neprinol capsules, twice a day - between meals. Advised to discontinue ibuprofen usage. No other medications or supplements were recommended (for the purposes of the study).
2 Month Follow-Up Visit
Subjective: Still has some pain & inflammation of wrists and elbows, but reports symptoms to be markedly improved.
Objective: Labs showed slightly raised C-reactive protein, high ESR, normal platelets, slightly raised Globulin values. Digital Video Blood Microscopy showed moderate protein polymerization (oxidative stress), slightly raised platelets, slightly raised poikilocytes, normal fibrin and slightly raised WBCs.
Treatment: 3 Neprinol capsules, twice a day - between meals. Has discontinued ibuprofen usage.
4 Month Follow-Up Visit
Subjective: Completely pain and inflammation free. No longer uses ibuprofen at all!
Objective: Labs showed normal C-reactive protein, slightly high ESR, normal platelets & normal Globulin values. Digital Video Blood Microscopy showed slight protein polymerization (oxidative stress), normal platelets, very few poikilocytes, no fibrin and normal WBCs.
Treatment: 2 Neprinol Capsules twice daily - between meals.
6 Month Follow-Up Visit
Subjective: Still completely pain and inflammation free.
Objective: Labs are normal. Digital Video Blood Microscopy is normal.
Treatment: 1 Neprinol Capsule twice daily - between meals.
