Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / October 2006emu oil
has anyone found the oral intake of emu oil effective for the relief of pain and inflammation? Ashley >has anyone found the oral intake of emu oil effective for the relief of pain >and inflammation? > >Ashley No, there has never been any one with real evidence that emu oil has helped. In years past we have mounted a "Save the Emu" campaign because we feel sorry for the poor critters. Although a little on the homely side, they do have lashes that most women would envy. First emus were kept in the hopes that their meat could be marketed, then when that did not pan out, their "oil" was sold for its purported medicinal properties. Usually the emu oil sellers have recommended rubbing it on the affected joints. Taken orally, I believe it would be broken down by the body well before it could do any good for joints. If you do want to injest an oil, try fish oils or others that are rich in Omega 3. Better yet, add salmon to your diet two or three times each week. There is some evidence that Omega 3 helps to reduce inflammation. Omega 3s have also been shown to have important health benefits for the cardiocascular system. I myself would not drink emu oil.

Here is an exchange that took place 4 years ago in another group...........(Brunacini is the recently retired Fire Chief in Phoenix. Area: alt.firefighters Msg#: 19798 Date: 03-26-02 18:49 From: Steve To: All Subj: Re: Oh no... ------------------------------------------------- > What are you going to do? Supply the Phoenix FD with all > of its Emu Oil, which spammers claim is stocked in every > fire station in town? Egad! Brunacini uses Emu Oil?! I smell a sole-source contract! ;o) (of course one has to wonder what the heck he does with Emu oil... is it a good replacement for hydraulic oil? Maybe it's something that can be used inside spreaders and cutters?! Perhaps I can become an Emu oilwell. (Maybe rhea's too.) > We ask the spammers to reveal the number if emus killed > when their oil is squeezed/pressed out of them. So far, > none have replied. I didn't want to kill any of them. I don't have the heart. I thought I would just stick a spigot up their behind and get the oil out that way. Like Maple syrup.

First emus were kept in the hopes that > their meat could be marketed, There was an A.P. story last week about the large number of emus running wild (Ohio or Iowa???) being shot by police and animal control officers. Officers who are hunters take the emus' meat to shelters and other nonprofit organizations, so nothing goes to waste. ... Dog: 6 Trespassers: 0 ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12
