Hi Karen,
No I don't take Glucosmine, though I did for a number of years, I even saw the doctor in Tuscon, who wrote the books popularizing it, Dr. Theo. The long awaited NIH study came out recently and findings were that it did NOTHING! It's pure placebo.
That type of finding doesn't get much press after the initial release because no one has a money interest in publicizing it. I knew things were going down-hill for the integrity of medicine when MD's started recommending it along with chiro. A decade or two ago, no self-respecting doctor would have ever recommended such unproven placebos and quackery. Demonstrates how desparate the medical profession is getting to come up with answers for the epedemic of psychosomatic/TMS pain.
I've never heard of that W supplement and won't be trying it. I threw away half a garbage can of high priced supplements a few years back after getting tired of spending half an hour a day swallowing the junk.
Karen, taking these things goes against TMS theory and is a waste of money. The best thing you could do is call your b/f up and have him mail you your copy of THE DIVIDED MIND that you left behind in NJ.
Cheers,
tt

I hear you, Tom...I really do have to read that book all the way through and absorb it..I am so sick of the symphony of pain I have going on lately..First it's my neck, then my low back, then mid back, then stomach, then knee, then chest!!! My goodness...it's enough to drive me mad..Sometimes 2 or 3 places start to hurt at once..sometimes I move a certain way and it starts, sometimes not..It is amazing what happens inside this miraculous machinery called the human body..or should I say even more amazing what our minds put us through..
Hugs and God bless,
Karen |
