Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 The Turmeric is probably useful for joints, however the best stuff I found, which works and works rapidly, unlike all the Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM* *tablets I tried, is : *Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM Complex Liquid* /004781 /at http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product.asp?xs=18B9323A04804D07B47EBB68B8\ 85E487 & np=6 & Page=2#CID25 I have a suspicion that the Cherry Fruit Concentrate in it maybe a key factor, given recent research with Cherry Juice in reducing muscle inflammation, post-training.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 If you are not Lactose Intolerant, try adding MicroLactin to this mix. Also, a Liquid Colloidal Mineral of trace elements would be good. My experience is that if a little has no benefit, double the dose till you get better, then cut back after it all clears up. I had a terrible ski accident 30 years ago that twisted my knee completely around almost backwards. Micro surgery was not an option then. They told me that I had 30 days to either have open surgery or else it would be too late. The downside was that a large percentage having the surgery never would walk again. I opted to miss this wonderful chance and eventually, thru plenty of exercise, got back to about 80% function. When I turned 50, I had to be fitted for a steel knee brace. After doing a protocol of huge amounts of MSM (1/2 cup/day?) and the Organic Sulfates. I took most of what is listed below, at some point, but in capsule quantities. When I reached the correct amount, I threw away the brace and today I play tennis, totally pain free, at 64. A great complement to this success was that every other pain site cleared up. I had lived with congenital arthritis pain in the hip from as early as I could remember and it no longer exists either. This stuff really works! Liquid as recommended below is probably better in all cases, but it does add cost. In the quantities that I was taking, you would have to re-mortgage your house. The only problem that I ever noticed was that huge amounts of the sulfates can sometimes cause some heartburn on an empty stomach. Fresh pineapple can counter that. and the bromelain adds a nice touch. nospam.rwp@... wrote: > > The Turmeric is probably useful for joints, however the best stuff I > found, which works and works rapidly, unlike all the Glucosamine, > Chondroitin & MSM* *tablets I tried, is : > > *Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM Complex Liquid* /004781 > > /at > http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product.asp?xs=18B9323A04804D07B47EBB68B8\ 85E487 & np=6 & Page=2#CID25 > <http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product.asp?xs=18B9323A04804D07B47EBB68B\ 885E487 & np=6 & Page=2#CID25> > > I have a suspicion that the Cherry Fruit Concentrate in it maybe a key > factor, given recent research with Cherry Juice in reducing muscle > inflammation, post-training. > > Label: > > Liquid Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM is > an advanced nutraceutical formula designed > to be easily assimilated and digested into > your system.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I have learnt that Calcium is ironically not the most critical requirement for bone maintenance, and that too much can actually weaken bone! Instead I make sure I have enough Magnesium (chelated Ca Mg Zn tablets), Boron and saturated animal fat in my diet. I found that Extra Virgin Olive Oil helps too, I think the fats are important to moderate inflammatory fats and to provide the correct antioxidants for joints. I also eat plenty of steamed Broccoli and Sprouts to hopefully provided enough easily absorbed Sulphur rich compounds. My strategy seems to be working, because I don't need to buy the mix or use MSM etc. every month. I would like to make up my own, much cheaper cost, joint mix however good quality cherry concentrate is proving hard to find, at an economical price, I have found one UK website selling the right stuff, but their prices are a bit steep and not competitive with the price of the ready made H & B mix, also some of the other ingredients maybe hard to find in the UK.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Your observation that Calcium is not critical is well taken. The guys in the know that I follow all agree and even take it further. Their opinion (based on solid observation) is that, in fact, too much Calcium may be part of the problem. I know that I once took Ezorb, an expensive and very absorbable form, and had, by far, the worst leg cramp that I have ever encountered. I got to thinking... what if this were in my heart muscle? I stopped the Ezorb that day. My understanding is that Magnesium relaxes and Calcium contracts muscle, so when I start getting foot or leg cramps, I take Magnesium Chelates. It seems to be a great indicator. Taking Calcium out of my protocol has not changed anything that I have observed. A Magnesium Story: My wife (50) came down with a painful heel spur. Her sports doctor/ surgeon diagnosed it as a heel spur and told here that nothing could be done and that he also had them. I had her take excess magnesium chelate for a month and gave her my old foam jell shoe inserts from when I had the problem some years ago. By the second week, the pain lessened and by the third week, it was virtually over. That was four months ago and today, she is fine with absolutely no pain. nospam.rwp@... wrote: > > I have learnt that Calcium is ironically not the most critical > requirement for bone maintenance, and that too much can actually weaken > bone!

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I do believe that taking too much calcium, or taking any calcium that isn't used 'right' is a danger. (as you noted, we need D, mag, other trace minerals to help use it right). But I have reason to believe cal is still very important. Because osteoporosis runs in my family, I get yearly DEXA's and have labs to monitor calcium levels as well as D and PTH. Too much mag w/out 'proper' calcium ratio purportedly moves calium out of the bones. When calcium & D gets low, the PTH rises to indicate calcium is coming from bones to feed the needs of organs e.g. heart).
