So I guess MSM would be very good for him along with the glucosamine. Course maybe his MD will write him a script for a hot tub that he can utilize. This will help his hips a lot. If an MD prescribes it then the insurance will usually pay for it. Though not always. Just a thought. Another thought, anyone around where your father lives doing mud baths? Very therapeutic and helpful for bone and joint problems. Peace be with you and your father Rik. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
