.....other pain associated with inflammation like joint soreness from hard workouts? Well, I'm not a Doctor, and I haven't stayed in a Holiday Inn in over 20 years, but this is worth sharing.

I was reading about James Coburn who has Rheumatoid Arthritis, and what he did about it. It's called OptiMSM. It's around the 5th most available substance in the body, and is not a drug and doesn't react with other meds. That was important to me because of my heart meds.

I have Gouty arthritis, but I have trauma induced arthritis in my neck and upper back. Lately the pain became more than annoying, and NSAIDS are taboo for me. So I figured I'd try this stuff.

I bought it at Elliots Health Foods, a small Sacramento chain. It was 22-23 bucks, and because of my readings, I made sure I bought the 'good' stuff. One container is a little less than a 6 month supply. The young kid at the store says he takes it because it helps with his workout pain.

So I started taking this a week ago tomorrow. I was skeptical, I don't believe in wonder drugs, but I was tired of the pain. By Monday the pain was about 1/3 of what it was prior to the use. Today the pain is about 1/10th of what it was. I'm truly amazed.

You can talk to your doctor before trying this stuff, but I'm sold. Young or old, in shape or outta shape, arthritis or stud muffin, I think it's something worth checking out. I repeat, it's all natural.

Note: It hasn't done a whole lot for my Gouty Arthritis, but there is a slight improvement. Keep in mind this stuff doesn't cure the condition, just significantly reduces the inflammation. Also, I still take my Glucosomine/Chondroitin pills. Can't take those from me!
