I have found many homeopathic remedies that are right on, and for the most part prefer them to another alternative whenever possible. Mary, Glucosamine truly does work for joint lubrication. Chondroitin is most often included in the ingredients because it boosts effectiveness. Sort of like Vitamin D makes calcium absorb better.

Black cohash has several likely side effects, like dizziness. But evening primrose works quite well.

You know when you think about it there are more ‘cures’ these days than ever. My mil takes about…two pills prescribed by the doctor, but she takes all this ginsing and ginkoe baloba (I don’t know how to spell this stuff) gluecosamine, and there are a zillion others. My mom takes this ‘reliv’ stuff. I had a friend tell me to take ‘black cohosh’ for menopausal complaints. This isn’t sold out of the back of someone’s medicine wagon, this is in a regular drug store. I don’t suppose they’re harmful but there are serious doubts if they really do any good and it’s a mult-million (probably billion) dollar industry.

Some of those so-called “remedies” were pretty
yucky! I’m glad I wasn’t around during those days!
