My knees were pretty bad 20 years ago and I was on a cane wondering about wheel chairs when I got turned on to Glucosamine-and-Chondroitin. That fixed me right up. Since then I have graduated to Curcumin and Ginger which I get in bulk and put on my food. I have no signs of arthritis now except in one thumb which doesn’t seem amenable to anything.
One of our products was in clinical trials, a wound product. I told them not to use the product on people taking steroids. They didn’t listen and we have to sponsor another trial with steroids as contraindicated.
I’m just the materials engineer.
Steroids decrease your inflammatory response that repairs. 12 hour shifts in a hospital are getting to me…. But steroids were never a choice.
Next I am trying my resveratol, carlsons fish oil and eggshell membrane.
