I noticed a difference
I'm requested to review this product, Heal and Soothe. I refused to do so until I'd used the bottle. I took this supplement at the rate of 3 pills per day, for 30 days. The quick answer is that I am noticing a difference, but I don't know how much is the supplement and how much is removing bread from my daily diet. It is noted in the brochure that some of the ingredients in this supplement act as blood thinners, so if you take ANY blood thinners -- prescription or OTC -- you'll need to be careful and talk to your doctor. NSAIDS (including aspirin and other pain relievers) count, as well as chondroitin (glucosamine/chondroitin). So I backed off a bit of daily aspirin and chondroitin to accommodate the blood thinner in this. I first heard about this on an infomercial on YT. The infomercial was about alleviating joint pain and started with "remove these 5 foods from your diet if you have joint pain". I was intrigued since I experience discomfort in my knees and hips. The foods aren't mentioned in the brochure that I received with the supplement so I'll list them here. #1 gluten, #2 transfat, #3 charcoal cooked foods, #4 alcohol, #5 sugar. He did not mention tomatoes but I read about them and they have something that can cause joint pain. My slack research informs me that gluten is in wheat, barley and rye. That means baked goods, gravies and soups thickened with flour, most pasta, pizza, and more. Transfat is NOT animal fat - it's partially hydrogenated vegetable, found in processed foods to extend shelf life (not likely fruits and veggies) which include meals, frozen and refrigerated and on the shelf, and foods you just have to heat). Charcoal cooked foods are those the guys do on the barbeque. While alcohol doesn't indicate that it has sugar your body processing it turns it into sugar. And any alcohol made from grain, such as beer would have gluten. Sugar is not only what we know as, but also sorbitol, fructose, sucrose, High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and any other -tose. He did not mention artificial sweeteners. Also, I'll say that eliminating them is hard, but drastically cutting back is easier. Remember, too, that if you joint the auto-ship, and you use more than 3 per day, you will probably run out before the next shipment arrives.
