ITS A WONDERFUL SUPPLEMENT ITS A PURPLE BOTTLE AND YOU TAKE 2 CAPSULES DAILY.I HOPE YOULL FEEL BETTER SWEETIE.

ok for one thing, the "doctor" above me is full of it because cartilidge has basically no nerves in it. Also, there is no blood supply to cartilidge so taking a vitamin or supplement is not going to help your problems.

Im going to tell you this whether or not you believe me, but fibromyalgia is a bull**** medical syndrome. Mostly likely you have a deficiency in your diet, or your hormones, or you have sleeping problems. Women produce far far less testosterone than men do. Testosterone is a key hormone in healing soft tissue injuries. Most likely you injured your knees at some point in your life and they never healed do to a deficiency of some kind. Your ligaments have become loose (they are supposed to be tight, taught). The bones are moving around and wasting away at your cartilidge. That is why you have the constant inflamation. The bones are rubbing against eachother and causing you perpetual pain.

The fibromyalgia is a cycle that your body is going through that causes you constant pain. Conventional doctors have slapped a nice looking name to a made up medical disorder. Trust me, this can be cured. You need to seek out a natural medical doctor for your fibromyalgia. You will realize that it is a simple correction to getting you on the road to pain free living.

The first thing that needs to be addressed is the sole cause of all your pain. My guess is that you do not produce much testosterone, and that you may have an inbalance of your female hormones. When you have way more estrogen than testosterone, your body will not heal soft tissue injuries. Women that have hysterectomy will often be put on hormone therapy afterwords. The doctors fail to put these women on a small dose of testosterone (maybe 1mg a day) and they develop fibromyalgia. Then the whole cycle of pain begins. These women will lose sleep from pain. The lack of sleep causes more pain since growth hormone is not secreted during deep sleep to help heal soft tissue and muscle breakdown from the day. The whole thing gets worse and worse. Then they go to the doctor, only to be prescribed a more powerful pain killer and anti-inflamatory. The cycle continues until they go back to the doctor who recommends a very drastic, painful, and expensive surgery. The pain usually never goes away and now the person is left with limited mobility.

This may be a lot to read, but i am passionate about helping people in pain. I once HAD fibromyalgia. Yes, i said it, i once had fibromyalgia. I got fed up with the pain because i was a bodybuilder and i was sad that i couldn't life weights again. I had pain in every joint of my body. I finally got fed up with my doctors giving me pain killers and telling me i would need surgery. I found a natural medical doctor in chicago that has taken all my pain away.

He first noticed that my testosterone levels were very very low. He also noticed that I had food allergies that were causing me pain. My joints that were giving me alot of pain had been damaged from sports and lifting, and they never healed because i had low testosterone and sleep apnea for years. Once he balanced my testosterone with bio-identical hormone therapy, addressed my food allergies, and gave me prolotherapy on my joints, i was feeling better and living pain free. The prolotherapy is something you could recieve for you knees to get your ligaments and tendons healed and tightened so you dont have this pain.

here is the link to my doctors webpage.

The big thing they do is prolotherapy, which you can research when you get on the page. It works wonders! It healed my joints in no time.

They are a natural medical office and they do hundreds of lab tests to figure out the sole reason for your pain and problems. They address the cause, and not the symptoms like natural medical doctors.

Please research this natural medical website and the prolotherapy section. I lived with pain, and i lived with many other medical issues for my whole life. My conventional medical doctors only wrote prescriptions, but this doctor has cured the cause for all my issues and i am actually enjoying life again.

Please research this and take my advice!
