Re: Arthritis

[Guest guest]

I have been using Syn-flex for six months or so, and have noticed a dramatic

decrease in the arthritis pain in my knees. It is a liquid glucosamine,

chondroitin, yucca, boswellin, bromelaine combination, along with Omega 3

and 6 fatty acids and Vitamins A and E. I get it from

www.activexamerica.com, where you can read about it. I also take MSM

capsules - MSM in combination with glucosamine and chondroitin is supposed

to be superior to gl and ch alone.

Syn-flex costs $29.95/bottle, and a bottle lasts about a month. It is not

an anti-inflammatory, and takes several weeks before you would begin seeing

any results. It helps build the cartilage in the joints, so your joints have

more cushioning, and the pain is lessened.

Ellen, you may want to ask your doctor to include cytotec along with

your bextra. I have to take cytotec 3 times a day, bextra once a day

to help protect the stomach lining. I was on vioxx and developed a

pouch ulcer at 18 mo postop. Be careful...
