By Jaudon Sunde Medical Cosmetic Technician For nine long years, I lived in sheer agony. I suffered from inflammation and horrible stiffness in my hands. Unless you've experienced it for yourself, you can't imagine how bad the pain really is. It nearly crippled me and almost ended my career. As a Medical Micropigmentation Specialist in Cleveland, Ohio, I need my hands for applying medical tattooing and permanent makeup for cancer patients, burn victims, and for people who need facial reconstruction. I was proud that in 2010, FOX 8 TV news viewers voted me the " Best Permanent Cosmetic Technician" in the area and I have consistently ranked in the top 2% nationally. But suddenly, my career was in danger. I was told that the intense precision of my work combined with the brutal cold winters in Ohio contributed to major stiffness and inflammation. So naturally, I tried just about every pain remedy and topical cream on the market. Nothing worked. The pain was getting worse and worse. So for all these years, I got by on a steady regimen of over- the- counter pills. The pain in my hands got so bad that I started taking pain relievers 2- 3 times a day. And still my agony persisted. I was faced with a dreadful choice: Either have the painful surgery on my hands and be laid up for months... or cut my workload in half. I was between a rock and a hard place. I couldn't afford to do either. I had to find a better way to get real relief. Then one day at dinner a friend of mine told me that inflammation is worse than I thought. " It's called the ' secret killer,' and for good reason," he said. " Left alone, it can ravage your arteries, chew up nerve cells in your brain, and lead to all kinds of age- related ailments. " The good news is that researchers at the University of Arizona have now confirmed that the Nopal cactus - found in the Sonoran Desert in the southwest U. S. - has tremendous power. It can help fight off harmful inflammation without risky drugs. And it can help reduce the pain caused by inflammation. " It turns out that the fruit of this plant is loaded with a special concentration of something called a ' bioflavonoid.' It's a super- powerful antioxidant that scientists believe to be perhaps the best natural anti- inflammatory agent on the planet. And it's proven to reduce inflammation and detoxify your body naturally." He then spoke the words that would change my life. " I think all you need to do is try a fruit drink." I was shocked! How is an ordinary fruit drink going to end my misery? " Well, it's not an ordinary fruit drink. It's called Nopalea , a breakthrough wellness drink that contains these incredible bioflavonoids I told you about. Drink it and you'll be amazed how great you're going to feel." I was skeptical, but I was also desperate. He brought me a bottle and I took a sip. I was shocked that it actually tasted fruity and delicious. I really enjoyed drinking it. In just 5- 6 days, an amazing thing happened. I started to feel much better. My stiffness loosened up and I moved around better than I had in years with no pain. I was overjoyed! The inflammation in my hands showed dramatic improvement. I kept taking 3 ounces of Nopalea twice a day and after about 30 days, I could perform my duties 95% pain free! Even the doctors I work with were amazed at my amazing improvement. I no longer need surgery. I am busier than ever before and I love it! I also found out that the bioflavonoid in Nopalea aid my body in healing by surrounding unhealthy cells and draining them of toxic waste.

Tenders P RIME Minister Stephen Harper called on Russia to stop blocking United Nations attempts to impose sanctions on the " murderous" Syrian regime of Bashar Assad. But the prospect of that succeeding, or any other attempt to sway Russia, appeared doomed by deteriorating relations between Washington and the Kremlin over accusations that Moscow was supplying attack helicopters to its longtime ally in Damascus. Harper singled out Russia by name during question period in the House of Commons on Wednesday, urging it to join in the international effort to impose binding sanctions on the Assad regime. Canada has been attempting to persuade Russia to stop supporting its Middle East ally as part of a broader effort led by the Obama administration. Russia, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, has opposed any use of force to remove Assad, or any resolutions on sanctions. Opposition groups say 13,000 people have been killed in the 15- month Syrian uprising. " We encourage Russia and others to join with us to apply binding sanctions against what is a murderous regime," Harper said, calling the Syrian situation unacceptable to Canadians and the international community. Harper also appeared to be referring to China, the other permanent member of the security council that has backed Syria. Harper spoke in response to a question by NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, who asked the prime minister about diplomatic attempts to sway Russia. " We have all witnessed the horrors in Syria with the Assad regime, where innocent children are now being targeted," Mulcair said. " Canadians feel the pain of the Syrian people." A UN report released earlier this week accused Syria government forces and their militias of abusing children as young as nine. It accused them of killing and maiming, arbitrary arrest, detention, torture, and sexual violence, and using children as human shields. U. S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned the Syrian conflict could escalate dramatically because Russia is sending attack helicopters to Syria for use by the Assad regime. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov denied the claim Wednesday. Clinton fired back, accusing Russia of risking " vital interests in the region and relationships" by blocking an international plan to take Assad out of power. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird was planning his own call to Lavrov, but as of Wednesday evening it had yet to happen. Baird has already met with Russia's ambassador to Canada to press the case for Assad to step down. The fighting continued to intensify in Syria Wednesday as government forces reportedly took back a rebel- held area near the Mediterranean coast. With the bloodshed ramping up, France joined the UN in declaring Syria was in a state of civil war. " When many groups belonging to the same people tear each other apart and kill each other, if you can't call it a civil war, then there are no words to describe it," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told a news conference in Paris. - The Canadian / Associated Press Harper blasts Russia for fighting Syrian sanctions By Mike Blanchfield OTTAWA - Eight people, including two Manitobans, are officially in the running for the top First Nations position in Canada - and half of them are women.
