Dear Colleagues,
This is a reponse to Cheryl L. Tompkins's posting on rheumatoid
arthritis (RA). It is good to see that breastfeeding her baby has
helped keep this Mum from overdosing on painkillers. RA is a very
discouraging condition, and there appear to be more questions than
answers about its causes and what helps sufferers.
It would be good to get a response on breastfeeding implications from
Tom Hale and others on the following over-the-counter dietary supplement
(not a drug) which has brought a *marked* improvement to my own
mobility. It is Cosamin DS (DS = "Double strength"), and is available
in the U.S. and Australia. The main ingredients are glycosamine and
chondroitin, with a touch of ascorbic acid to improve uptake. (I'm
writing this without the label imformation in front of me.) A Brisbane
(Queensland) hospital is currently running a trial of this product.
If anyone wants to contact me personally, I'd be happy to give more
details. (No, I am not involved in any way in marketing this product.)
Cheers, Virginia
