Hi:
(I really appreciate the info on this forum and OBT.) A friend sent me an article on celadrin, I've read info on the website, it sounds promising. It is supposed to work best with glucosamine and chondroitin. The only reason I have not ordered it yet is that I'm a procrastinator and plan to order with refills of some other supplements (to save on the shipping). Costco and Vitacost both have the pills and lotion form. (Odd note, celadrin is listed on the lotion as an inactive ingredient...) Just wondering, has anyone tried it? Which form? Comments? Should I continue procrastination on that one? http://www.celadrin.com/studies/studies.html Thanks, Kat |

common. Please read all of Marcia Zimmerman's article. The bottom line is that CMO is not showing harmful potential, however, response to it may not be worth the cost. It is a shame that I had to dig around to find the "truth" for you... slick websites like the Celadrin one are only there to SELL, not really inform. The reason that the Celadrin (CMO) is listed as an inert ingredient, is that there are no definitive studies to show effectiveness for the FDA (which requires effectiveness for labeling). For example, SAMe has 3 categories approved for effectiveness which is very unusual in a supplement. (that is why I use it and I can testify that it works). A similar thing happens with Biofreeze. It has Ilex in it..which is a very good healing herb. It is the same Ilex that is in Yerba Mate tea. But it is listed on the ingredients, as inert. I really like Biofreeze. Have you tried it?

Just wondering if either of these would be effective for these conditions. I have heard many people who are pleased with the pain relief of biofreze. Yet, if it is like an icy feeling - you aren't supposed to use ice on RSD. Also, these products seem like they are for joint pain. I was thinking of adding glucosamine but that also seems like it is more for joint pain.
I am now trying Zymitol. I read that it is an anti inflamatory. Also talking myo mag which has malic acid in it. The dosage is 1200L malic acid and 300 msgnesium from magnesium (from malatedigylycinate and carbonate). Maybe I should up the magnesium. Still trying to find pain relief ............................... Sydney |

works for pain, is that it stimulates the cold nerve receptors. It does not create cold on its own.
When those nerves fire, they block the firing of the other nerves that are sending pain signals. So while Biofreeze sounds cold, it does not change the temperature of the area to which it is applied. Biofreeze has 3.5% menthol and Ilex in it. I think the Ilex is active, and useful. I use it in tea form with great success. (yerba mate).
