Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / January 2007Glucosamine by Jeffrey Dach M.D.
Glucosamine and Chondroitin for Arthritis Pain by Jeffrey Dach M.D. For an example of yet another distortion in the mass media regarding issues of health, drugs and medical care, look at the reports of the NIH GAIT study which examined nutritional supplements for arthritis pain. As usual, the media got the story wrong. Rather than being ineffective, as the media concluded about glucosamine and chondroitin for knee pain, the NIH GAIT study actually showed the opposite. What the study really showed is that in patients with moderate-to-severe knee-pain, the combination of the two supplements (glucosamine and chondroitin) was more effective than both Celebrex and a placebo. The glucosamine-chondroitin combination significantly reduced pain in 79 percent of those who received it. Celebrex significantly reduced pain in 69 percent of the recipients and the placebo in 54 percent. The real conclusion is that regarding patients with moderate to severe knee pain, the less costly glucosamine and chondroitin combination is more effective than Celebrex. The media stories also fail to mention the fact that Glucosamine and Chondroitin have no adverse side effects while Celebrex causes gastric bleeding, ulceration and death. This is an important distinction. Celebrex is a NSAID pain pill. It has been estimated conservatively that 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur among patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis every year in the United States. There are many more examples of these blatant distortions and untruths which can be found in the book, "Overdosed America, the Broken Promise of American Medicine", by John Abramson, M.D. who teaches at Harvard Medical School. drdask drdoch drdach jeff dach And another book you should read is "The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It", by Marcia Angell MD, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine. In the meantime, you are invited to review more information about this topic on my web site at http://www.drdach.com/ Jeffrey Dach, M.D. is a board certified interventional radiologist with 25 years experience in the Memorial Healthcare System. He is also a member of the Board of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and practices Nutritional/Metabolic Medicine in Hollywood, Florida at 4700 Sheridan Street. His office phone is 954-983-1443 and web site: http://www.drdach.com/ Excellent post, keyboard. My own findings are as good. I took Motrin in large doses (up to 900 mg) for pain and swelling of arthritis, and unfortunately, took one pill at bedtime (which helped me wake up less painfully); only to find that it ate a hole in my stomach lining (preventing me from sleeping on my favorite side). When I began taking glucosamine/chondroitin/and sometime MSM in a big combo pill, the hole was mysteriously healed - I could tell because the gurgling stopped when I fell asleep on my 'favorite side'. I think it's good stuff. > Glucosamine and Chondroitin for Arthritis Pain by Jeffrey Dach M.D. > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > Sheridan Street.

They regularly take glucosamine that they purchased at Costco, RIteAid, CVS, SavOn, etc. They aren't trying to peddle some crap like certain shysters who pop in and out of ASA with their philter like the medicine men of the wild west. ...

Glad you were looking in a mirror when you wrote that. ... I like long walks, especially when they are taken on .. short piers by newsgrou spammers like Phil Rhodes. I am the very model of a Newsgroup personality. I intersperse obscenity with tedious banality. Addresses I have plenty of, both genuine and ghosted too, On all the countless newsgroups that my drivel is cross-posted to. Your bandwidth I will fritter with my whining and my snivelling, And you're the one who pays the bill, downloading all my drivelling. My enemies are numerous, and no-one would be blaming you For cracking my head open after I've been rudely flaming you. I hate to lose an argument (by now I should be used to it). I wouldn't know a valid point if I was introduced to it. My learning is extensive but consists of mindless trivia, Designed to fan my ego, which is larger than Bolivia. The comments that I vomit forth, disguised as jest and drollery, Are really just an exercise in unremitting trollery. I say I'm frank and forthright, but that's merely lies and vanity, The gibberings of one who's at the limits of his sanity. If only I could get a life, as many people tell me to; If only Mom could find a circus freak-show she could sell me to; If I go off to Zanzibar to paint the local scenery; If I lose all my fingers in a mishap with machinery; If I survive to twenty, which is somewhat problematical; If what I post was more mature, or slightly more grammatical; If I could learn to spell a bit, and maybe even punctuate; Would I still be the loathsome and objectionable punk you hate? But while I have this tiresome urge to prance around and show my face, It simply isn't safe for normal people here in cyberspace. To stick me in Old Sparky and turn on the electricity Would be a fitting punishment for my egocentricity. I always have the last word; so, with uttermost finality, That's all from me, the model of a Newsgroup personality. ya hadda bring that name up didya chief? lolol and i see that you've already garnered a response...lol > > better yet 'keyboard' [lololol] > > > > aka Jeffrey Dach [it is your website after all], > > I wouldn't be surprised if Phil Rhodes was another of his aka's. > Glucosamine and Chondroitin for Arthritis Pain by Jeffrey Dach M.D. *WARNING!* "drdach" is not a medical doctor: he's a net.kook who desperately hopes to deceive people into buying his quack medical delusions.
