remember Rumofan/Rumofen?
great miracle 'natural' herbal supplement for arthritis? I started a topic on it a year or so ago when I experienced altered glucose metabolism,
hypertension, and weight gain...
well, it's back in the news: http://usat.ly/1flfBEr
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

I can not connect to your URL. I did carry on correspondence with a reporter who was covering that issue.
It is too bad that this stuff is not quite what it is purported to be. It allows me to play guitar with no arthritis pain in my hand, but now I only
take them once or twice a month when I seem to be inflamed.

Pescador, the link must have been fixed because it comes up fine now.
So, all these people using Reumofan were feeling better with a placebo? Wow. Someone got rich.

Voltaren. The same stuff that had me connected to an IV in the local clinica four months ago. Non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs are not play-toys.
Millions upon millions of dollars have been made from selling SUGAR PILLS for nine dozen different afflictions. Patients SWEAR TO GOD that the pills
have treated successfully their problems. In Montana, I toured a uranium mine that charged FIVE DOLLARS in the 1930's for radiation treatments for
arthritis. My great uncle swore up and down that he knew a lot of people that also swore up and down passing a day in a tunnel with a kerosene lamp
successfully treated their arthritis.
P.T. Barnum territory.
Swallow something strange and it proves a person to be a fool.

These pills had prednisone in them, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory but causes serious side effects. That is the ingredient that had everyone
literally jumping for joy immediately. | Quote: | Originally posted by rhintransit

No Blanca, no placebo. The pills may well have been exactly the same as Rumoquin which are a prescription medication even in Mexico.
I still take one occasionally when my arthritis pain gets to the point where I can not play guitar, but even taking one a day worked well, but those
around said that my attitude was pretty testy.

It's a simple solution (pun intended). Chug a bottle of Viva Villa, then fill it w/ Corralejo. More stabil, and the screw-cap doesn't pop out like
the original cork........
Happy trails,
