Traumeel and Zeel

Zeel homeopathic ointment for relief of osteoarthritis pain
by Heel, Inc.

In cases of osteoarthritis, Zeel tablets offer a safe and effective homeopathic alternative to controversial Vioxx and Celebrex. Zeel provides temporary relief from mild to moderate arthritis pain, inflammation and articular stiffness. Zeel is used to temporarily relieve joint pain, improve joint function, and stimulate normal cartilage performance.

Zeel is particularly effective in relieving symptoms associated with degenerative arthritis, such as osteoarthritis and spondylarthritis. Virtually side-effect free, Zeel is non-habit forming, effective and safe for long-term treatment. It is very well tolerated and has no known interaction with other medications.

In a recent clinical study, Zeel was found to be as effective as COX 2 inhibitors Celebrex® and Vioxx® in relieving pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee.

The Arthritis Pain Epidemic
Arthritis Pain in North America has reached enormous proportions. Millions of people suffer from some form of arthritis, with a huge impact on their quality of life.

According to a 1990 study, Management of Pain, more than one-third of the U.S. population suffers from chronic pain. The medical costs of disability due to chronic pain are said to exceed $100 million a year.

The Search for Natural Solutions
Conventional medical treatments for arthritis pain often have serious side effects. COX-2 inhibitors, which are widely prescribed for arthritis pain and inflammation are currently under scrutiny for raising the risk of heart attacks. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS) frequently cause symptoms of ulcers, nausea, stomach pains, and acid reflux. Powerful steroids, prescribed for rhuematoid arthritis can lead to weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure, and facial swelling.

The search for effective and safe arthritis alternatives without side effects has led to the increasing popularity of natural health products, such as this formulation.

Homotoxicology
Homotoxicology is the basis for the Heel Inc products. It occupies the mid-point between classical homeopathy and conventional western medicine. It makes use of conventional disease diagnoses and dosage forms and provides complex formulas composed of homeopathically diluted remedies.

Homotoxins (substances toxic to humans) include all substances that can cause illness in humans. Their appearance results in regulation disorders in the body. When confronted with homotoxins, the body's first line of defense is excretion. Many Heel/BHI preparations promote the basic principle of toxin elimination. The excretion may focus on increased sneezing or runny nose, or more frequent urination or heavier perspiration. By detoxifying the body, health has a much better chance of taking charge.

The preparations of Heel/BHI consist mainly of combinations of low homeopathic potencies (dilutions) since, as a rule, lower potencies are most effective for acute, physical complaints. (Middle-high potencies are often indicated for chronic illnesses while very high potencies can affect mental and emotional states and are usually the domain of experienced practitioners.) Heel/BHI products are generally indicated to be taken several times a day and are not usually subject to neutralization when taken with other medications.

Dosage forms
Zeel is manufactured in tablets. This is an easy dosage form which always delivers the right amount of medicine. The tablets should be taken sublingually (under the tongue) and allowed to dissolve in the mouth. They should not be swallowed whole. The medicine enters the bloodstream directly from the mouth without needing to go through the liver first.
