glucosamine sulfate for joint pain

[Guest guest]

Hi Theo,

Glucosamine and chondroitin are two different supplements, both of which can be

found in the form of sulfates (i.e, glucosamine sulfate, or chondroitin

sulfate). A sulfate is a salt or ester of sulfuric acid.

I take glucosamine sulfate by itself, because I've had very good results with

it. I operate on the general principle, " If it ain't broke, don't fix it. "

Dianne,

With my joint problems, and my husband's too, we both envy anyone who

can take glucosamine.

Neither of us can take it. It tears up our stomachs FAR too much. For us

there is no point in a joint pain supplement that causes far worse

stomach pain than the joint pain it is intended to relieve. I have no

idea why some people can " stomach " glucosamine, and some can't, but some

of us just can't.

My 12 year old cat has just been put on a Glucosamine/chondroitin

supplement for his spinal arthritis, so we are hoping his tummy can hold

up to it (well, if he eats it at all that is).

My current understanding (and I haven't researched this a lot as it

hasn't to date been an issue personally) is that maybe 50% of people

benefit from the Chon/Glucos combo, and the other 50% it has no benefit,

and the explanation I read way back was because of the different types

of arthritis, for some it was a nutritional deficiency, and the others

it was a bacterial infection, but either way affecting the joints.

s Kalcker (of MMS fame) for example found that MMS1 cured his

arthitis, so that clearly wasn't a nutritional deficiency. In your and

your husbands case though perhaps it is, though I've never heard of

people having an issue with taking the supplement. Might be worth

trying both ways though if only to get a handle on what's going on.

Do they make inject-able glucosamine for people yet? I know we can get it for

the horses. Perhaps you would tolerate that better?

I think I'm going to see how the cat supplement Dasuquin works for our

cat. If he can't tolerate it, the next step is to try DMSO topically on

him, the next step after that would be to try DMSO with glucosamine

topically. My husband says if the cat can't take the Dasuquin, he will

try it.

I personally do not need anything for arthritis since I stopped eating

nightshades, though I AM doing a trial of peeled white or yellow potato

in small serving size. It has been a week and so far so good. From my

experience last Dec. though, tomatoes and the rest of the nightshades

aside from potato will definitely remain OFF my menu and out of my diet.
