Cetyl Myristoleate for Arthritis Science for Speculation By Rusty Ford

There are a lot of fabulous stories about Cetyl Myristoleate (also known as CMO or CM) floating acrossrepparttar Internet. Mine is one of them. There have been a number of articles published in little known journals or magazines. There have been four small booklets published. One making fantastic claims, all four filled with anecdotal evidence but offering no real research to back uprepparttar 115484 claims. There are a number of Doctors sharingrepparttar 115485 results they are having with their patients but so does every other wonder-working product. The question is, are there any scientific studies to back up any of these claims? The answer is yes. To date there are several patient studies and two double blind studies completed. I will mentionrepparttar 115486 three most prominent below.

Dr Len Sands ofrepparttar 115487 San Diego Clinic completedrepparttar 115488 first human study onrepparttar 115489 effectiveness on Cetyl Myristoleate in 1995. There were 48 arthritis patients in this study. All but two showed significant improvement in articular mobility (80% or better) and reduction of pain (70% or better). Obviouslyrepparttar 115490 study had its flaws. One doctor conductedrepparttar 115491 study, there was no control group andrepparttar 115492 number of participants was small. Even so, it suggested to many that maybe there was some hope here and that more scientific studies should follow.

The first double blind study followed two years later. Dr. H. Siemandi conducted a double blind study underrepparttar 115493 auspices ofrepparttar 115494 Joint European Hospital Studies Program. There were 431 patients inrepparttar 115495 study, 106 who received cetyl myristoleate, 99 who received cetyl myristoleate, and glucosamine, sea cucumber, and hydrolyzed cartilage and 226 who received a placebo. Clinical assessment included radiological test and other studies. Results were 63% improvement forrepparttar 115496 cetyl myristoleate group, 87% forrepparttar 115497 cetyl myristoleate plus glucosamine group and 15% forrepparttar 115498 placebo group.

Cetyl Myristoleate separating fact from fiction

Cetyl Myristoleate separating fact from fiction - by Rusty Ford I am a strong believer in Cetyl Myristoleate forrepparttar treatment of arthritis. Forrepparttar 115483 last three years I have been researching and writing about Cetyl Myristoleate. I am constantly searching for new research and contact and interview every doctor I can find that works with it. The purpose ofrepparttar 115484 article is to evaluaterepparttar 115485 claims made about Cetyl Myristoleate onrepparttar 115486 myriad of web sites that sell it. It you want more information onrepparttar 115487 research that documentsrepparttar 115488 effectiveness of Cetyl Myristoleate then do a search for my article, “Cetyl Myristoleate: Science or Speculation”.

Cetyl Myristoleate is an Immune Modulator. This is a tough question. We do not have any medical research yet that documents that it is an immune modulator. Many doctors believe that it is based on observations of their patients. Some people respond so well it appears thatrepparttar 115489 benefits go beyond joint lubrication and a decreases in inflammation. Base on these results some doctors theorize that it is helping to correct some peoples immune systems. While this sounds wonderful it is a bold statement to make. I am not ready to call it an immune modulator.

Cetyl Myristoleate is a cure for arthritis. This is not only a bogus claim it is a lie. Not only is it a lie it is illegal to make that claim. If you are at a web site that makes this claim, leave, this person is notrepparttar 115490 kind of person you want to do business with. They need to be reported torepparttar 115491 Federal Trade Commission.

All you need is one 15 or 20 day protocol. There are several companies that make this type of claim. You will notice thatrepparttar 115492 companies that make this claim are amongrepparttar 115493 most expensive. I believe that they use this to justify their high prices. Who would pay this price on a regular bases. Whilerepparttar 115494 double blind studies show that many people start finding relief in this amount of time, they were all short term studies and did not evaluate how longrepparttar 115495 results lasted. Every doctor I have talked to has disagreed with this statement. The people who find relief from Cetyl Myristoleate usually start seeing good results byrepparttar 115496 two week mark. But they continue to improve forrepparttar 115497 next two to four weeks. Almost everyone who discontinues use finds that with in a couple of weeks their symptoms begin to return. But they also find that once they max out their benefit they need much less to maintain that level of relief.
