It's called Artrosilium, it's wickedly expensive (£169.00 for 12 months
supply) and the mailshot could soon be coming through your letterbox any day
now from a company called C.I. Research of Winchester.

Apparently it contains Organic silicon to make my joints supple, Meadowsweet
which has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory qualities, and Blackcurrant.
The only thing it doesn't seem to do is make the tea and coffee!!

I have no intention of buying any, but I'm just wondering if anyone has
heard of it, or them. Is there anyone out there who has taken this stuff and
is now skipping around like a spring lamb - and who hasn't told anyone of
this miraculous substance?!

  I have not heard about it but I am in the USA.   I am a little slow on
the uptake for miraculous products.

by some standards, that's not expensive.  have you asked how much a
year's worth of anti-tnf drugs costs?

if "organic silicon" means anything, it means "silicones" ... those
compounds used in breast implants.  does this stuff claim to increase
your bust, too?  [nb: i don't recognise your sex from the name "splodge"]

i'm not a homeopathy-enthusiast, and i don't know what meadowsweet is
supposed to do for you.  however, my summary of the supposed active
ingredients would go:

silicones:    supposedly inactive, but there are outstanding cases in
             the usa from women who claim they've been made ill by
             leaking implants (iirc)
meadowsweet:  could well have anti-inflammatory properties, for all i
             know
blackcurrant: a good source of vitamin c; ribena is a good way of
             ingesting blackcurrant "essence"

i would be surprised if you hear from any of these spring-lamb-alikes.

Glass is mainly silicon. I suppose silicones are in some way derived
from silicon. At least they are included in some lubricants and
polishes. Meadowsweet is rather a nice white flower/plant. So maybe we
have here stuff which lubricates your joints, polishes your bosom and
makes you feel pretty (or if meadowsweet is antiiflammatory, maybe it
puts your fire out)? But surely that isn't homeopathy ?
