Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For a year I used this product to control -- even subdue! -- the developing osteoarthritis in my hands. That was about 15 years ago. Before then, over several decades my arthritis slowly advanced until I could no longer stand the pain, especially in my right hand. I finally reached the point where I actually asked my doctor if a surgeon could remove my most painful finger. Naturally he thought I was nuts, but I had to ask. Then, in approximately 2001, I heard that taking this product once a day might help my condition. After several months of using 2 to 3 tablespoons daily mixed in water, the horrific pain I had experienced for so long was virtually gone. Others I've shared this information with over the years were similarly helped. I made this current purchase not for myself, but for a co-worker who is suffering from developing osteoarthritis in various joints for the past 2 years. Hopefully unflavored gelatin will help him as much as it helped me. Time will tell, though. In the meantime, if you are thinking about using unflavored gelatin to help your arthritic condition, I suggest you first consult with your doctor. I have no idea if using this or a similar product with certain medical conditions might be unwarranted. I would think not, seeing this is a main ingredient of Jello. But who knows, certainly not me? I'm an engineer, not a doctor, and nave no medical training whatsoever. By the way, you'll find tons of information concerning the use of this product to help arthritis on the Internet, and even in user's comments on Amazon.
