Non-specific cases and rheumatics in treatment of arthritis with mussel extract NON-SPECIFIC CASES AND RHEUMATICS IN TREATMENT OF ARTHRITIS WITH MUSSEL EXTRACT
We have been discussing up to now the beneficial effects that the extract from the New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel has in relieving the symptoms of rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis.
Most of the discussion has related to human sufferers. What about other forms of arthritis, and what about domestic animals?
Taking human subjects first, there are those who experience stiff shoulders or legs every now and again, or perhaps a bad back during cold, damp weather. Others consider that they have developed a case of fibrositis, bursitis, lumbago or allied conditions. In many instances these conditions may be incorrectly self-diagnosed. Reports of treatment of this type of rheumatic complaint with the mussel extract preparation nave been entirely on a subjective basis, no clinical studies having been done up to the present.
The reports in general, however, would indicate that, where the condition is rheumatic, a considerable degree of success may be achieved with this treatment from the sea. Many people have reported that, taking a course of the mussel extract capsules over a period of three or four weeks at the start of the winter period, they have remained free of the usual aches and pains associated with the onset of the colder, damp weather. Others, claiming to be 'barometers' (i.e. able to predict wet weather by their aching joints), say that they are unable to do this after treatment with the extract.
Where undiagnosed conditions are involved it is, of course, not possible to give any definite indication of the likely effect of any particular treatment. It is probably sufficient to say that people who usually suffer deterioration in mobility and/or an increase in aches and pains during adverse climatic conditions, or sometimes after unusual exertion, frequently show a positive response to treatment with the mussel extract. In the case of animals that have undiagnosed rheumatic-type conditions (particularly in race-horses), the condition has usually manifested itself in stiffness and pain in the leg and hip joints. The extract seems to be particularly successful in these cases as can readily be seen from the change in their movement and attitude after treatment.
In almost all cases, whether diagnosed or obscure, the beneficial effect with respect to the desire to be active and feeling of well-being is noted.
