Wampole Inc products for a patient with stenosis of the renal artery.

I am very interested in knowing about the anti inflamatory natural product which is put out by Wampole. You mentioned it in one of your appearances. I know it has beets and something else. Can you please send me the name and where I can buy this. I am 65, swim 4 days a week and have been battling hip bursittis. I am hoping it will work for me. I have stenosis of the renal artery and I must take many medications to keep this under control. I cannot take advil or any over the counter medications. Thanks for your time.

Answer:

You can find the description of the Wampole products at the following website: http://www.wampole.ca/9-category-specialty-supplements.html . There are several products available to help reduce inflammation. Dr. Wylde described several of these recently: Vitalis Relief, Vitalis Nightime Relief, Vitalis Neuromuscular Relief and Vitalis Comfort Gel.
The gel will certainly not be a problem with the medications as it is for topical use. Many practitioners use this gel for treating bursitis.

To more adequately guide your choice I would need to know more about the medications you are taking to avoid any herb-drug interactions. You can contact me via email at gchamberland@curaphyte.ca or print the information on the Vitalis products and ask your pharmacist or physician if these are appropriate for you.
