Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Has anyone tried the Blue Stuff (emu oil, aloe vera, etc.) they keep harping on TV? Or any other emu oil product topically to reduce pain? Do they work? They were talking about one on the radio the other night. It contained emu oil, glucosamine, boswellian, MSM and pregnenalone (SP?). Is anyone here familliar with boswellain and pregnenalone? I've never even heard of that last one.

Below is from Life Extension foundation's web site Pregnenolone is biochemically, the $B%a(Bmother hormone,$B%b(B made directly from cholesterol within the mitochondria. In addition to memory enhancement, a partial list of pregnenolone$B%f(Bs diverse benefits include: No negative feedback loop. Once produced, pregnenolone leaves the mitochondria so it cannot inhibit its own synthesis. By two different pathways, it converts to DHEA and progesterone (which cannot be made from DHEA). Enzyme repair. Pregnenolone stimulates the cytochrome P-450 enzyme system which is important in neutralizing cellular toxins. Protection from cortisol/cortisone. Cortisol levels increase with normal aging causing immune impairment, atherosclerosis, and neuronal injury. Pregnenolone protects against adrenal atrophy when withdrawing cortisone therapy, and helps protect against the effects of elevated cortisol including atrophy of the skin, osteoporosis, hot flashes in women and possibly adult-onset diabetes. 1 capsule contains: 50 mg of pure USP grade pregnenolone. Other ingredients: rice flour, gelatin and water. Dosage and use Take one capsule one to four times daily. Take early in the day or on an empty stomach. Caution: Based on some recent animal research, those with epilepsy or a predisposition for brain seizures may want to avoid pregnenolone. This precaution is based on proconvulsant activity pregnenolone induced when administered directly into the brain. When pregnenolone is orally ingested, it is metabolized in the liver in a way that causes it to work differently than when it is surgically introduced into an animal$B%f(Bs brain at artificially high doses.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 I have tried the Blue Stuff and it works wonderful. Just Monday my husband had a strained muscle in his chest. We put it on there and the next day it wasn't hurting anymore. He hasn't complained about it hurting since.
