Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hi Leonie: Your explanation is not " poor " --simplified but basically what it's about.

I have been trying chicken cartlage too (collagen II) which I have to order from the US. One of the things it is supposed to do, is re-instruct your body not to attack your joints, through oral tolerisation of the product. The collagen in it is the same material as your joints, so if you ingest it, your body wont attack it as it doesnt think it is a part of you and then maybe it will stop attacking your joints (sorry, this is a poor explanation). Has anyone else had any results with this product? I havent been taking it long enough to notice any difference..... Leonie rheumatic UC II : I have been on this as part of study at Beth Israel for 2.5 months now with excellent results. It is a double blind study so I have no clue what dosage I am on. It is a 4 month study. What I can say is that the study info I got states it is sponsored by a company that mfrs. this which is available. I will include links on that (have not ordered myself as the study pays for all at this time), and info on the study itself. I store it in fridge. I am to take it on empty stomache first thing in a.m. with a sip of water and NO FOOD, DRINK OR SMOKE FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. That's all I know except, most importantly, it is working really well for ME. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hi Babs; You can use the analogy " Hair of the dog " I suppose.Since I have never gotten drunk enough to have a hanover I do not know if a drink next morning would set one straight.Kind of doubt it but maybe collagen works that way.
