Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 Marti, Just for curiosities sake, if your sister had such good luck with Glucosamine, why would you try something different? I've long heard Glucosamine, along with Chondroitin, is the main thing that does all the good. I'm using Glucosamine on a joint of an animal to rebuild it. It is working like a charm. I agree with your assessment of the blood pressure medication causing problems. If anyone can read the side effects of these drugs and still want to take them, they must want to die.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2001 Report Share Posted August 19, 2001 Jean, I don't want to try anything different and I did use it myself. I started using it because of my sister's success with it. It's just that the Nutritionist I was supposed to work with said it was causing my blood sugar to elevate and since I had to get the blood sugar down quickly I had to stop taking it. Right at the moment I'm not taking any of the medication the doctor gave me and I want to do an internal cleansing before giving up and going back on Glucatrol. I was diagnosed as diabetic 8 years ago and until this year have been able to keep it in control without medication. If there is anything that will help normalize me so I don't have to take any prescriptions I want to do it.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2001 Report Share Posted August 19, 2001 The problem is, that as with every treatment, it's not a one size fits all!! Some people don't get the results with glucosamine and/or chondroiten that they desire/need, so they may need other herbs, EFA's, etc.. The Doctor that I drew the wrath of Doc by relaying some of his advice, travels to Australia alot, and he has some herbs like lemon myrtle, that are native to that area, and supposedly help the other herbs/supplements in his formula relieve pain, and rebuild!
