I am in nursing school and one of my patients takes this for arthritis.  Our pharmacology book has a lot of herbal drugs listed in it, but not this one.  I know there is some stuff online about it, but I don't know how much of it is legit.

Mayo Clinic says it is not good for arthritis.\n\nYucca supplements have long been touted as a possible treatment for osteoarthritis. However, except for one small preliminary study reported in 1975, there have been no published clinical trials evaluating its effectiveness in treating osteoarthritis. Yucca is a group of evergreen shrubs and trees that grows in arid regions of North America. Although scientific studies have validated many alternative and complementary therapies for osteoarthritis, yucca is not one of them.

No studies have been completed on this matter.  It is known that St. John's Wort interacts with many drugs.  You shouldn't take it because we don't know if any interactions occur.

Aruyeda according to the 1999 christian handbook of alternative medicine tend to go into 2 schools of thought 1 of which could be beneficial the other would not be.\n1. Aruvedic Medicine to some is basically new age energy medicine pending your personal convictions this could conflict with your religious preference such as mentions of chanelling energy or taking substances based on your personal "energy" or "chi"\n2. Aruvedic medicines has been helpfull in finding some actually beneficial herbs and alternative medicines however like the prior two answers these tend to be unregulated in real dosages so it becomes a random chance thing even if the substance works. Especially when combined with regular pharmaceuticals

Why does everyone want a "supplement" to cure all their problems?  You are the fodder for the snake-oil salemen and they'll take you for every dime you have!\n\nAlso, don't be fooled by so-called "natural" or "herbal" products which proclaim to be totally safe and free of side effects.  Most are garbage with no testing or proof.  The FDA does not regulate herbal products (yet) and they are free to say, or insinuate pretty much anything.  Most will do you no good, some will do you harm.  Run away fast....in fact, try RUNNING or EXERCISE.  It's free and has several POSITIVE side effects.\n\nThe only relief you will get from questionable supplements is releif of the money from your wallet.

HELL YES. \n\nMy sister suffers from Lupus. She was in Kaiser for 6 months last year. She was taking sleeping pills, and 5 Dilodins (HEAVY pain meds) per day just to get thru it (which, incidentally, are extremely addictive). Since she's discovered medicinal marijuna, she hasnt used sleeping pills, and takes one Dilodin every OTHER day....\n\nWhen she told the Kaiser doctors, they freaked out and told her to quit...and Rx'd EVEN MORE MEDICATIONS! Weed is natural and grow on trees...but they want her to stuff herself full of medications that are hard on her liver. Freakin western medicine...

Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory..I have just found out that yucca is great for arthritis--breaks up calcium deposits and is anti-inflammatory..A natural healer I just saw prescribed large doses (for me 9 caps and 6 of nature's sunshine calcium with vit D --I am overweight so he may have used more??) for rheumatoid arthritis.\n\n.Please use caution with prescription anti-inflammatories..My mother got permanent kidney damage from taking Motrin for arthritis and is now dying and on dialysis.  \n\nAlso try raw apple cider vinegar in sea salt water or with honey (you may not be able to use honey being diabetic)and water --a few spoons and drink few times a day..\n\nI have heard a vegan diet will reverse arthritis.  Also see Dr. Richard Schulze's incurable (save your life) program..it has cured diabetes according to testimonials.  I definitely believe in it.

Please listen to me as I am only here to help. You have to do exactly as I say. Go to the website and look up CESIUM CHLORIDE AND OXYGEN DROPS. The other ones could be green algae and paw paw, etc etc. These medicines are known in the medical field, but they dont talk about it. Because these are natural remedies with no toxic chemicals in it. So, thats why they cant profit from it. If they cant profit, they dont sell. I mean, some are even made of mushrooms that you can grow anywhere. Why would they promote this? These doctors will never make money. So, the FDA has put a restriction on these remedies. They cannot say anything about cancer on their labels. They have to be sold as vitamins or health products. But, the website can tell you how to use it, and what cancers it can cure. See how they are suppressing the world? In fact these treatments can cure up to 90% of patients that doctors have already given up on. Chemo therapy is not a therapy. I would rather die then go through with that. They try to kill your cancer with chemicals and radiation. If they kill all your cancer before they kill all your body cells, then they consider you cured. But, what about after that? Your body is damaged and your health deteriorated. There is almost no recovery to this. How many people you know live past 5 years after chemo therapy? Not much if any at all. And compared to the masses, its almost nothing. What do you have to live with after chemo? Your body is not sunburned, its practically microwaved. CESIUM CHLORIDE can be taken with OXYGEN DROPS. Go to the websites. You can go to these websites and they will give a whole package for you to buy. You can take these medicines over the course of 3 months, a year, or whatever they prescribe. After your mom is feeling well, taking it for about 2 months or more, you can almost garauntee that you are cured. But, you have to listen to them and take it till they tell you to stop. They even cure certain 3rd stage cancers with a 90% success rate. But, time is of the essence so I urge you to buy it as soon as possible and take next day delivery or something. I wish you the best of luck in the future. But, heed my warning, do not go into chemo. They always tell you something fuzzy like, oh..you might live another 2 years, or you might die right away..etc etc....Then how do you decide? But, they always say that people who have been on chemo will only live a maximum of X years after that.  So, if you do exactly what I say, not only will you have a chance to survive, but all your friends that may get cancer...

Well I can't find the site you were on but Orthosiphon is just an herb that company's are putting into there weight loss pills. If they are not giving you a lot of info on the product I would stay away from it. If you want a recommendation I did some research and I right now am taking lipo6 from nutrex. I have not been taking the recommended doses cause it strong stuff and I am trying to get use it to. I need to step up my work out but it seems to be working. Check out GNC.com and see what out there. You can get stuff there for like 40 buck and get it right away instead of waiting for shipping and paying for shipping

Glucosamine with Condroiton has been proved to help ease pain in arthritic old people. \n\nI talked to my doc about it before, and while he said there were no studies done yet on young people with my condition, that it wouldn't be a bad idea. \n\nI've taken it off and on over the last couple years, and it does take about 4 months to do anything for you, and isn't very cheap, but it seemed to help me a bit. \n\nJust be sure to talk with your doc if your diabetic because it is a sugar - based compound.\n\nAlso, for achy joints you may want to think about reducing the impact in your exercises (maybe walking instead of jogging - think about it).

well, my sisters boyfriend took it and it worked wonders for him but the thing is, you have to constantly be doing something while you're on it.  if you do not work out ALL THE TIME then it will only make you gain weight...weird i know but that's how it is.  he recommended it to me and i took it for a few day and did not like the way it was making me feel.  you should ask your doctor about it because you could be allergic to something that's in it...make sure you are drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated...good luck!!

Pure essential lemongrass oil. It'll work better than any med! About $8 for a .5 ounce bottle. If you hold the bottle up to your nose or drop 2 drops on a Kleenex or something, you'll have energy pronto. Just don't sniff too much an hour before retiring to bed.  I've been wanting to ask you: how is your brother? I've been dying to know!I've put 2 "questions" up asking, hoping you'd see them.             Poor guy . . darn, I wish those lousy doctors would do something for him!!His body is so sensitive with everything he's been through! I just hope to God that the medication they've given him, doesn't make him worse!If your family has the time and the means and the med doesn't work or makes him worse . . .maybe it would be worthwhile to visit an herbalist or alternative practitioner. Best of luck to you and your family. I hope everything works out. Feel free to email me, if you wish. I have a Leo rising and was curious about you and found we have at least a couple of things in common. If you click on urloveurloved, you can get my email address.

The whole Maxman group is bogus.  They are just selling an herbal supplement.  Now they admit that they won't provide miracles, but I want to emphasis that nothing they are providing will has really been tested to show any real results.  I would recommend a multi vitamin, healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and eliminate any smoking if you want that maximum blood flow to certain parts of your anatomy.

This stuff is a bunch of bunk, the company has been fined by the FDA for false advertisement...Don't bother. The only ones that Relacore helps is the company that sells it.

First off, don't listen to ignorant answers from people like martinamagrace.  Obviously she's lucky enough not to have been afflicted with debilitating pain!\n\nI don't know anyone who's used it, but I've heard opinions that it is more helpful than any other high-potency pain killer.  Medical marijuana should not be illegal.  It's been a great help to many people who suffer from a number of diseases.  And kudos to the doctors who prescribe it.  If only there were more like them!

it is a suppliment, I would suggest you to talk to a local pharmacist and give them some time to look it up in their database of suppliments and prescription drugs, I could not find an interactive database in between the two online, good luck
