Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / August 2006Glucosamine, MSM, Chondroitin question
What experience do people have with Glucosamine, MSM & Chondrotin for arthritis? Are these also good for people who haven't yet been diagnosed with arthritis as a preventive measure? What kind of dosage is recommended for these? Do any of these have any side effects? say on liver, kidney or any other sideeffects like nausea, stomach problems etc? Should any of these be avoided by people with any existing conditions? > What experience do people have with Glucosamine, MSM & > Chondrotin for arthritis? [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Should any of these be avoided by people with any > existing conditions? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Obviously this query has been run up the flagpole by the pharmaceutical industry. The bads news about Glucosamine Chondroitin is the "sulfate." Over time the Chondroitin Sulfate ulcerates the rectum or the rectal area. It takes about a year for the symptoms to manifest. It takes another 6 months for the symptoms to completely subside, provided that one hasn't strained the bowels and developed hemorhoidal hernias in the interim. I am presuming it's the sulfate that's guilty. Anecdotally, David H ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >> What experience do people have with Glucosamine, MSM & >> Chondrotin for arthritis?

Indeed, I also know people who have been taking this for years with no sign of this problem, would be interested to see the scientific info on this David H wrote: > What kind of dosage is recommended for these? > Do any of these have any side effects? say on liver, > kidney or any other sideeffects like nausea, stomach > problems etc? > Should any of these be avoided by people with any > existing conditions? Those questions can be answered at the FDA's site http://www.fda.gov and at http://www.rxlist.com > The bads news about Glucosamine Chondroitin is the > "sulfate."

If women like it, it's Erotica. If men like it, it's Pornography! I've taken Glucosamine & MSM for about six months with no side effects. It has offered some relief to my bad knee's. My uncle has taken Glucosamine and Chondroitin for several years with no side effects. A few months ago he started taking Goji juice for his arthritis and it has helped a great deal. I just signed up with the company and I'm going to try it also.

It works wonders. I came up with 680,000 references to glucosamine and FDA. Surely all your questions can be answered from these sites. > > What experience do people have with Glucosamine, MSM & > > Chondrotin for arthritis?

WAKE UP. THE READERS WANT NARRATIVES, PERSONAL TESTIMONIES AND ANECDOTES. My own statement on Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate is exactly that. It is my own personal sensitivity to sulfa compounds. When I take SMZ to knock out helicobacter pylori, I get the same side effect. The difference is in the time period between the initial exposure and the manifestation of side effects. Nothing in this thread is "right" or "wrong." There is a natural variation in the reactions to a drug within the same gene pool. Cheers, David H ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David H wrote: > My own statement on Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate is exactly > that. > It is my own personal sensitivity to sulfa compounds. Thus this statement in your post: Obviously this query has been run up the flagpole by the pharmaceutical industry. The bad news about Glucosamie Chondroitin is the "sulfate." Over time the Chondroitin Sulfate ulcerates the rectum or the rectal area............ ........is based on your own, sole, personal sensitivity and not from any trials, studies, publications, or other medical facts. ... Health freaks are going to feel stupid someday, ... lying in hospitals dying of nothing. |
