Glucosamine And Diabetes – The Cause?

Written by Editor on Saturday, May 5th, 2007 in Disease, Health.

Glucosamine supplements are a popular remedy for arthritis pain relief, especially for osteoarthritis. Unlike NSAIDs and other anti-inflammatory drugs, the pain relief provided by glucosamine lasts even after a person is no longer taking the supplements. This is because glucosamine helps repair damaged cartilage in joints. Arthritis pain goes away because the problem is fixed, not because inflammation is temporarily suppressed.  Read the rest of the article about glucosamine and diabetes.

Seven Years Of Bad Credit

Written by Editor on Friday, May 4th, 2007 in Credit, Debt.

Remember the old superstition regarding a broken mirror?  The individual who breaks the mirror is supposedly destined for seven years of bad luck.  Similarly, if the credit bureau has negative financial information, a person can expect seven years of difficulty making major purchases and qualifying for any loan.

For instance, forget trying to buy a different vehicle on credit.  Unless the cash is in hand, a salesman will likely decline an application to purchase a new, or used, vehicle.  Bad credit repair will definitely be necessary before making any major purchases.  In most, if not all, cases of bad credit, the financial activities in question will remain accessible to creditors for the next seven years.

The Bad Credit Domino Effect

Written by Editor on Tuesday, May 1st, 2007 in Credit, Finance, General.

Bad credit is much like dominoes.  Consider the contests to see who can build the most intricate maze or picture, using upright dominos.  After hours of intense concentration and hard work, the lead domino is tapped to fall into the adjacent game piece.  If the individual displayed the creation correctly, the dominos should fall in one continuous string, until all the little blocks are flattened and the basic design can still be detected.

So, how are the two similar? The first domino is like the first incident of bad credit. Unless an individual can keep the troubling economic situation from getting worse, one problem will lead to another, then another, and before one really knows what is happening, loans are impossible to obtain, forget buying on credit, writing checks may even be taboo for many purchases, lenders are threatening to foreclose, and the car is liable to be towed out of the driveway. Ouch!

Bad Credit’s Cost On Relationships

Written by Editor on Tuesday, May 1st, 2007 in Credit, Money.

When bill collectors start calling, disconnect notices come in the mail, and the personal credit score is in the toilet, the disagreements begin; the stress level escalates; and, personal life matches the plummeting financial situation. Many people will actually separate or get divorced over bad credit problems.

Individuals with bad credit often suffer professionally, as well as personally. For example, contractors, by necessity, need a line of credit at the local lumberyard or hardware store. When the job is complete, and the customer pays, the bills for the materials are settled. However, if the contractor has a bad credit standing with other local businesses, he/she will not have the necessary funds to buy the necessary supplies for a project.

Likewise, a business may have difficulty getting a loan for renovations or expansion. Instead of having the money to help the business grow and become more competitive, opportunities for increasing profits will slide by and go to a competitor, simply because bad credit negatively influences requests for the necessary funds.
