The review of 10 previous trials by Bern University in Switzerland found glucosamine and chondroitin did not have any beneficial effect on osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.
The supplements are not normally given on the NHS, although they are bought over the counter in UK pharmacies.
But the researchers said they did no harm so if people wanted to continue taking them they could.
This is because of the so-called placebo effect, where symptoms improve because a patients feels better psychologically for taking a substance.

arthritis is caused by a low PH.

get the PH up with alkalizing food, such as fresh fruits, raw veggies, sprouted seeds, and raw seaweed.

some food supplements (as opposed to synthetic medicine) could boost the process, such as HARPAGOPHYTOM (DEVILS' CLAW) herbal extract. (best brand VOGEL/BIOFORCE)

a clogged colon is not helping your PH to rise up....

[INDENT] i've searched "garam ingriss" for 2 years in jkt, to no avail yet.

if you want to use it for magnesium supplementation, and/or for colon cleansing, i'd recommend MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE, e.i. nigari salts, used in Japanese cuisine for the production of tofu.

nigari salts which i just happen to find a supplier for, liquid form, extracted from deep sea water, totally pure and natural, fantastic results in case of stress (magnesium chloride being a precursor and a basis for digesting and assimilating all other minerals), bloated colon (any given "regular" adult has about 6 kgs of undigested, fermenting, rotting, molded crap glued into the colon) and mental and muscular relaxation,etc...

they could be taken either in a regular basis for mineral supplementation (a table spoon per day), and/or for colon cleansing (a cup in one go ) for a natural crap bomb release!

please feel free to ask me any question and to let me know if you are interested, thanks.
