Re: Glucosamine/diabetes and prostate

 

 

 

 

---Donna, I found the following quote on iherb.com this evening.

According to this information, Glucoasamine is derived from glucose

and diabetics definitely should not have it. Perhaps MSM would be a

good alternative. MSM (sulphur) is said to be very effective for

arthritis pain. Several on the gettingwell list take it with

excellent results.

 

" Glucosamine is a simple molecule derived from glucose, the

principal sugar found in blood. In glucosamine, one oxygen atom in

glucose is replaced by a nitrogen atom.

 

The chemical term for this modified form of glucose

is amino sugar. "

 

I see no reference saying its linked to cancer however it certainly

wouldnt be good for her diabetes according to this info.

 

Eucalyptus essential oil is one of the best for pain in

my opinion. It was the only one that alleviated his excruciating

leg pains last winter. I believe it is best mixed with tea tree oils

or " Jason " brand arthritis cremes. We did both alternating at times.
