That is what many infommercials are stating. To truly trust this statement you must break down what Arthritis is:

For the most detailed information visit: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001243.htm

Arthritis is for the simplest definition: Swelling of a joint causing stiffness and pain. There are over 100 different types of arthritis.

Now as inflammation progresses, due to any number of causes, stopping this will relieve your arthritis.

You must now identify causitive factors of the Arthritis:(Some of which are below)

• An autoimmune disease (the body attacks itself because the immune system believes a body part is foreign)
• Broken bone
• General "wear and tear" on joints
• Infection (usually caused by bacteria or viruses)
• Being overweight
• Previously injuring the affected joint
• Using the affected joint in a repetitive action that puts stress on the joint (baseball players, ballet dancers, and construction workers are all at risk)

What do you do after you identify the reason you have Arthritis?
Fix it!!
This can be done by resolving the problem. If it is caused by inflammation related to infection- antibiotics nay be needed. If it is injury to the area- do not use it. Follow this train of thought when identifying and resolving Arthritis.

So, in short, Arthritis can be cured temporarily if not permanently.
