Study
Well here are my thoughts on this:
1) The study was funded by the medical (aka medicinal) community
2) The patient study was very small (250 people) - this is the first thing they (MD's) use to refute studies published by 'Natural' Health-care practitioners.
3) Their outcomes were based on very subjective measures and conclusions may have been reached using 'leading' questionaires.
4) The study is B.S.
While time and further investigation, may show Glucosamine suplementation does not help individuals with advanced lumbar spine arthritis, and resultant low back pain, they may not have ended up with the arthritis in the first place had they started supplementation years prior to the diagnosis.
My previous blog about joint supplementation still stands, and I recommend all of my patients continue supplementing glucosamine along with a healthy diet to slow / prevent early onset arthritis.
