Glucosamine bad for arthritis?

And might we be safe to conclude that this self same person making the report sells some miricle in
a bottle to make things all right again?

Quoted message said:

Just as glucosamine becomes firmly established as an effective help against arthritis, someone
comes along to try to burst the balloon. One of the purveyors of health newsletters now claims that
glucosamine, taken alone, can make arthritis worse after initial improvement by depleting the body
of bone-health nutrients. Anyone know anything about this?

That self-same person is Dr. Bruce West who sells a health newsletter. I don't know if he sells
supplements or not.

I would check idea out but Drs often crank out any excuse they can cook up to avoid a remedy this is
out of their province.

What was his reasoning?

And as to the Mark D. Toads comments, I'd not worry. He (IMHO) has a desire to control.

Glucosamine has been shown in many studies to actually help regenerate cartilage that has been
affected by osteoarthritis. I have yet to read a study showing it depeletes the body of 'bone-
building' nutrients such as calcium phosphorus, etc.

Ah, just as suspected, hhe has a product to cure the problem he
"discovered":

On a page titled "Health alerts Full Line of Products" his newsletter:

" Glucosamine Synergy(TM) Size: 90, Daily Dosage: 3-6"

I wish to control nothing, only to let folk have information by which to consider all sides of a
question so informed choices can be made by each individual.

He ain't a "dr." in the medical definition, just another self appointed "researcher". His degree is
of the "snap crackle pop" spine type and is said to have a degree in biochem. In his "detailed bio",
his term not mine, there is nothing about medical education. So a call to his 800 number, which
sells his newsletter, found the above. When I asked which schools attended was told to subscribe and
then one could ask such questions; nuff said.

Thanks for your good research.
