Remember that five-year NIH government study on arthritis I mentioned in my first post? The reaction is starting to come in and it generally looks positive.

The media (and everyone in the natural supplements industry, of course) are making noise about the study’s findings, including ABC News, who reported on November 14th:

The natural supplements glucosamine and chondroitin appear to beat the leading prescription drug for very painful forms of arthritis, according to a much anticipated study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.


I’m glad they recognize that this is big news. After all, the Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention was the far and away the most rigorous testing ever conducted on the combined effects of Glucosamine & Chondroitin on osteoarthritis knee pain.

Plus, 21 million Americans (like me), deal daily with joint discomfort. We’re a big audience.

Whatever the reason behind it, all this attention is good. If there’s an affordable, natural treatment that works, the world should know.
