Severe to crippling osteoarthritis SEVERE TO CRIPPLING OSTEOARTHRITIS
In Group #4, fourteen subjects presenting with severe to crippling osteoarthritis were supplied with 50 capsules to be taken in two series, two capsules each morning and evening for seven days, with a seven day interval before repeating the same dosage for 5 1/2 2 more days. Three of these subjects were unable to walk and were accustomed to being transported by wheelchairs. The other eleven could move about with crutches, walkers, or canes. All presented with pain, inflammation, and marked deformation of nearly all interphalangeal and large joints. Four presented with limited lumbar flexion and pain in the vertebral column. Ten had difficulty grasping and manipulating common objects.
After four days of treatment ten in this group reported 30% to 50% improvement in articulation and inflammation and about 40% to 60% relief of arthritic pain. In these ten subjects improvement continued rapidly over the next three days, reaching 80% to 100% by the end of seven days. One reported no perceptible change.
On the fourteenth day, at the end of the one week interval without treatment, nine subjects reported continuing minor improvement, four reported maintaining their improved status, and one continued to show no improvement. Treatment was resumed on the fifteenth day for 5 1/2 more days.
By the end of the treatment period eleven subjects reported 80% to 100% relief of pain with a return of 80% to 100% mobility. Two subjects reported 70% to 80% return of articular mobility with a 70% to 90% reduction of arthritic pain. The one non-responsive subject proved to have previous liver damage as a result of sports-related steroid abuse. Further studies are necessary to determine the role of liver function in this protocol.
