I included ‘sports’ as a topic because many athletic types eventually develop osteoarthritis from the ‘wear & tear’ on their joints.................

Perhaps they can use mRNA technology to produce the two proteins where needed?

/in before expected expressions of horror at that thought

Please consider taking boron until then:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3761669/posts

The paper that references speaks to a study that had a reduction of pain and movement for severe osteo arthritis patients:

In the severe OA group, average pain reduction was 47.9% at 4 weeks and 64.5% at 8 weeks. In the first 4 weeks, 40% of subjects with severe OA reduced or eliminated their analgesic (ibuprofen) use. By week 8, 75% had quit using their NSAID medication (ibuprofen). Joint rigidity disappeared in one-half of the severe OA patients in the first 4 weeks. In the remaining one-half, joint rigidity decreased significantly, an average rigidity reduction of 50%. Mobility and flexibility were significantly improved in 50% of severe OA subjects at 4 weeks and in 62.5% at 8 weeks.

The amount being given was 12 mg/day for the severe group. 20 mg/day is the Upper Tolerable Limit.

The form used was calcium fructoborate, but a common tri-boron capsule should be absorbable in a similar way.

Each pill of the following has 5.5 mg of calcium fructoborate:

Killing the pain just masks the problem. Depending on adverse reactions, sign me up for this one. Mine is Osteo and not the rheumatoid brand. I was on and off the tractors all day yesterday. Hit the bottom step, knee folded and barked my shin. Telling today.

I should say, each of those pills has 5.5 mg of boron in the calcium fructoborate form.

Calcium fructoborate has only a tiny amount of the molecule as actual boron.

““We thought that by mixing these two molecules that work in different ways, maybe we could make something better,””

REALLY? You spent how much on your education to be able to figure that one out?

WOW! Its almost as ingenious as repurposing existing drugs to treat a new disease. /s
