Cetyl Myristoleate for Arthritis Science or Speculation

Written by Rusty Ford


Continued from page 1

In August of 2002, a double blind study was published inrepparttar Journal or Rheumatology. The study included sixty-four patients with chronic knee OA. Half ofrepparttar 115484 patients received a cetyl myristoleate complex and half a placebo. Evaluations included physician assessment, knee range of motion with goniometry, andrepparttar 115485 Lequesne Algofunctional Index (LAI). The conclusion was thatrepparttar 115486 CM group saw significant improvement whilerepparttar 115487 placebo group saw little to none. In fact in their conclusionrepparttar 115488 state that CM “may be an alternative torepparttar 115489 use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs forrepparttar 115490 treatment of OA”.

Advanced Medical Systems & Design, Ltd completedrepparttar 115491 last study I would like to mention in Oct 2001. It was not a double blind study butrepparttar 115492 study included 1814 arthritis patients. The results showed that over 87% ofrepparttar 115493 subjects had greater than 50% recovery and over 65% of those showed from 75% - 100% recovery following a sixteen day regimen. I know that this is notrepparttar 115494 most scientific study but a study this large does suggest that there could be a positive benefit torepparttar 115495 use of CM inrepparttar 115496 treatment of arthritis.

Conclusion: There is mounting evidence that CM can be effective inrepparttar 115497 treatment of many forms of arthritis. While it is true thatrepparttar 115498 evidence from these three studies can not be considered conclusive, it is a beginning. It should challenge you to think out siderepparttar 115499 box and consider that just because it did not come from a drug company does not mean that it will not work. With over 10,000 people a year dying from Nsaids would it not be great to find a safer and more effective product. Especially withrepparttar 115500 cost of prescription treatments for arthritis costing intorepparttar 115501 hundreds and good Cetyl Myristoleate products can be found for between $20 and $40.

Cetyl Myristoleate separating fact from fiction

Written by Rusty Ford


Continued from page 1

Cetyl Myristoleate helps 97% ifrepparttar people who use it. I have seen this claim several times. It is simply not true. The research does not back it up and neither do those doctors who use it in practice. The percentage is closer to 70%. Of courserepparttar 115483 percentage changes depending onrepparttar 115484 type of arthritis you have. With nearly 100 types of arthritis nothing is going to work well on every type.

Cetyl Myristoleate is an anti aging agent. This is a powerful marketing tool. Every one wants to look and stay young. There is no research to back up this claim. Some ofrepparttar 115485 doctors I have talked to believe it base on their observations. I have over a dozen family members and friends who take CM faithfully and none of us look younger. Yet almost all of us feel younger because we can now do things again that we had to give up because of our arthritis. If this is what they are talking about I concur. But if they are claiming it will make you younger or keep you from aging I think they are stretching it.

It is necessary to take digestive enzymes with Cetyl Myristoleate. This is a hard one. I personally do not think everyone does. Some people have a hard time digesting fats. If taking CM causes you stomach upset then you need to take a digestive enzyme. Make sure it has lipase because it isrepparttar 115486 enzyme that digests fat.

Cetyl Myristoleate will help you grow new cartilage. This is another unfounded claim. There is nothing in CM to help you grow cartilage. Oncerepparttar 115487 inflammation is down then your body may find it easier to replacerepparttar 115488 cartilage damaged byrepparttar 115489 inflammation.

Will Cetyl Myristoleate help me with my arthritis? I would like to endrepparttar 115490 article withrepparttar 115491 question most ask of me. The answer is I do not know. All I can say isrepparttar 115492 research and my experience andrepparttar 115493 experience ofrepparttar 115494 doctors I have talked to says that there is a 60% to 70% chance. Be reasonable about your expectations. CM is not going to repair bone damage, remove calcium deposits or repair other types of damage created by your arthritis. If you decide to try it do not pay too much. There is no need to pay $50, $80, $100 dollars or more. There are several good products inrepparttar 115495 $20 to $50 range. Ifrepparttar 115496 first bottle does not work for you do not waste your money on a second.
