Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 None of the literature I read on cetyl, whether in Collastin or any other brand, turned up any side effects at all. It's not a drug and is on the GRAS list. All it is is a food component of beef bones. In a blind study in San Diego no subject showed any side effects even at extremely high doses. Vilik, (was that you?) If there's data on side effects, I need to access it. Could I have particulars on the practitioner so I may make contact? The particular brand Collastin shows 87% effectiveness in a blind study; cetylmyristoleate by itself showed 64%. Obviously you'd need the synergists in the support formula to achieve the 90% stated earlier. ciao Duncan --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Has anyone tried Cetyl Myristoleate? I've read about it on the internet that it cures arthritis.It is a fatty acid. It sounds to good to be true. I'm on vioxx for my pa and it works good. But i know it will hurt my liver over time. I'm only 26 years old. I can hardly believe this has happened to me. But i have to keep going for my husband and 2 boys. If anyone has heard anything about Cetyl Myristoleate. I would like to hear what you think. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 There is no cure for arthritis so ANY product that makes such a claim is a making a fraudulent statement. Really good products do not have to resort to lies and deceptions to sell themselves. I'd stay away from this scam. Kathy F. Has anyone tried Cetyl Myristoleate?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 There was a guy in my church trying to sell me Cetyl Myristoleate. The main company who " discovered " Cetyl Myristoleate are the same guys who sell those magnetic mattresses and all of that... Most of which is not backed by good science. I read up on Cetyl Myristoleate just to appease the guy in my church, and the harder I tried to find good scientific data backing up their claims, the more garbage I found about how scientific studies " couldn't " prove or disprove the efficacy of this because of something or other -- it all sounded very scientific, but was talking in circles and *certainly* not leading me to believe they had any real, valid data to back up their claims. Also, my reading on CM seemed to indicate that IF it did help anyone, it was more helpful for osteoarthritis than inflammatory. I mean, heck, I'm no scientist and I could be wrong, but to me it just sounded like a scam and, at least for this company the guy at church was representing, it was too expensive for me to consider throwing money away on it without any real data to back their claims up.
