(Over-the counter BARGAIN HUNTERS take heed)
An MD, PhD staff doctor in a famous medical institution asked, "Are all fish equally close to the heart? Is it fair to suggest to our patients that all over-the-counter fish oil preparations have the same cardio protective action?"
Wildegeest poses a similar question, as it applies to Arthritis , the focus of the AIT STUDY conducted by National. Center for Complementary & Alternative Medicine, which resulted in the conclusions expressed in U. of Cal., Berkeley, Wellness etter. Vol. 24, Issue 3, Dec. 2008, & The Johns Hopkins Medical Letter, Health after Fifty, Vol. 20, Issue 12, Feb. 2009.
U. of Cal. :Glucosamine : the news is in. We suggest you forget about glucosamine and chondroitin unless you are willing to pay $20 or $30 or more a month for what is probably a placebo effect. If you already take these supplement and find they help, continue with them, but consider stopping for a while to see if there's a difference.
JHU :A Negative Verdict for Glucosamine and Chondroitin Supplements, But be aware that well-designed trials done by independent of supplement anufacturers have not been able to prove these supplements work, despite their enormous popularity. Moreover, pills can cost more than $30 a month, this is a lot of money to spend on what may be a placebo effect.
But the same government agency that has permitted the unrestricted sale of this
poorly researched G&C Medication, has neglected its obligation to monitor the variable quality of "over the counter FISH OILS", thus placing at risk an important claim supported by peer reviewed research, that Carefully Selected Fish Oil is a valuable Medication for Arthritis.
