Robert, You have, already, received two items of valuable information.....Marshall's comment about CMO and Ted's reference to MSM. About 12 years ago (at age 66)I found myself in a similar circumstance as you are presently experiencing. One of my knees had deteriorated quite severely....greatly complicated from high school. collegiate football/basketball. The articulating joint Right Knee) was so challenged/unstable that it regularly slipped out of joint and "locked out" on average of 3 to 4 times daily. The displacement was so sudden and complete that...if standing....I collapsed and only received relieve when another person rotated and pulled on the foot of my afflicted leg. The other knee was physically stable, but was exhibiting pronounced swelling (continually) with the concomitant pain which frequently accompanies this type swelling. After months of investigations...all resulting in no measurable positive effect.... our staff instituted a search for alternative and/or unorthodox protocols which might prove useful. Quite serendipitously, our staff came on to the CMO research which had been conducted by an American chemist working for a Swiss firm that was doing basic research on arthritic insults. We were quite fascinated at the claims (and the theoretical explanations) for the use of CMO in addressing all forms of degenerative arthritis. Without going in to the extended details....the basic conclusion was reached (after several years of detailed evaluations) that a majority of degenerative arthritic conditions share a common cause. to wit: the T-Cells in the synovial fluid of the articulating joints lose their ability (usually starting around age 55) the distinguish between healthy, live, tissue.....and dead, necrotic tissue----and these abnormally-responding T-cells begin to attack the living tissue within the joint capsule. These attacks can, in many cases, be inflicted on both cartilaginous and ligamentous tissue. These T-cells are, literally, consuming the exposed layers of living tissue. CMO does not chemically attack the errant T-cells....it merely effects a condition which TURNS THEM OFF. This allows the body's normal immune/reconstruction system to begin restoring the challenged joint. I, and an 82 year old colleague were the willing guinea pigs. After extended consultation we decided upon a protocol based upon the following: Six capsules of animal-derived CMO daily (in conjunction with a low fat/meat diet), ingested at three equally space intervals during the day. 2000 milligrams of glucosamine sulphate and 1200 milligrams of Chrondroitin daily....plus 10 grams of MSM (MSM, at this time was quite difficult to obtain in quantity commercially)daily. Improvement in all general parameters, except the lateral instability of my right knee.....began to present within about 15 to 20 days. Marked, noticeable improvement began to occur at the 3oth day. Exponential improvement began to present around the 45th day and within 120 days of initiating the protocol, very noticeable stability began to demonstrate in my unstable right knee joint (slipping out of joint was down to once every two days). At 180 days my knee was slipping out of joint ONLY under unusual strains.....and then only every two or three weeks. At present, 12 years later, the joint will slip out about ONCE A YEAR. This, I feel, is quite remarkable.....especially for a 78 year old man. I cannot stress too strongly, the wonderful effects we achieved in our personalized research in this matter. The swelling in my left knee reduced immediately, but we feel powerful assistance came from the effects of utilizing a thigh-high, surgical=strength compression stocking during the day. Sufficient improvement was achieved to mitigate against even prolotherapy. I have varicosities in both lower legs, but compression stockings have aided the vein valves immensely.....and at present I am not presenting ANY visible lower extremity....including feet....swelling. I admit my case is one where the varicosity insult is restricted to outermost large veins. I am quite slender at 6' 2" inches and 180 lbs. and this is most probably a favorable factor in my case. At present, when I take my stockings off at night....the hollows below my ankle joints are as deep and clear as when I was a competing Division I collegiate athlete 60 years ago.....however, I must admit my moves are just a bit slower. :>) Please forgive this extensive commentary, but I have very visceral feelings about our experiences during this personal experimental research. I truly believe you would be well served to investigate such an approach in your own experimental research. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley. Harborne Research Foundation. p.s. One of the great beauties of the CMO protocol is that in about 85% of the historical cases, no repeat treatments are required.
