This usually means that negative evidence will eventually prevail. Decisions to use glucosamine must be based on information that is less complete than is desirable. In addition, product quality control may be a significant problem

An article from medscape on turmeric

Initial results showed that a version of turmeric extract that was free of essential oils had a significant impact on arthritis and most closely matched the composition of commercially available supplements. This version was used in subsequent experiments and was shown to prevent acute and chronic arthritis, even when it was administered after arthritis had been induced. In addition, turmeric significantly inhibited joint destruction due to arthritis, and inhibited NF-�B, a protein that controls the gene expression of substances that produce an inflammatory response. Turmeric also altered the expression of hundreds of genes involved in joint swelling and destruction and prevented an increase in osteoclasts (cells that break down bone) in joints.

take three pills a day. Each seem to be 1400mg. However how much of it is curcunium, I dont know.

3 days, still Nada.

Very disappointing. But again this is not a scientific conclusion. But clearly the picture is not rosy as they seem to paint.

Aspirin still works the best, and rest (an unaffordable luxury)
