Great information! A month or two ago, my knee started bothering me, no known trigger. Certain movements would cause intense pain. After 3 chiro visits, he sent me for an MRI. I came home from the MRI the evening of May 2, read this article and recalled that my husband had been using DMSO (for a skin issue, I think?). I applied it before bed that night and it went a full 4 days without that "gotcha" pain! I've been applying it to my knee with magnesium gel twice a day since, and feel like it is somewhat better. How would I add vitamin C? Is there anything else i should add? I have been using frankincense eo with it. It still grabs me on occasion, but the pain isn't as sharp. The MRI revealed a torn meniscus. I have an appt with the chiro this afternoon, and will give him a link to your article.
I also forwarded it to my nephew whose kids play hockey and told him to follow the links about concussion.
Yes, I do make soup from bones all winter long. I get half a cow at a time from a farmer friend and always request soup bones. And I save the bones from organic chickens - I've heard that in conventional chickens, glyphosate concentrates in their bones. I cooked some up after reading your article and am enjoying it once or twice a day, in hopes of speeding my healing.
For many years I've been taking a glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM supplement for joint support. It looks like bone broth might be a better choice. Am I understanding you correctly that it contains all five collagen types?
Also, about twenty years ago I started taking tart cherry extract for a nagging lower back pain that was gradually getting worse. It took about two weeks to notice an improvement, and in two more weeks the pain was completely gone. A few times I've run out of it and put off reordering, and the pain starts to come back in a couple of weeks. But once I start taking it again, the pain disappears, and I have no joint mobility issues. Have you heard of using tart cherry extract for arthritis or other joint issues? If so, do you know how it works and what chemistry is involved? Thanks for another interesting informative article.
Fallon was saying in her book, that by drinking bone broth you will get everything that you need for joint support. In a supplement, you would probably have to take a collagen blend of types I, II and III or a type I and III and a type II separately and a G-C-MSM product or one that has it added in. If you can find local bones for broth, it is very easy to make.
I know of numerous anecdotal information on tart cherry juice or in supplement form for athletes to reduce muscle soreness, for people with joint pain and also for sleep benefits. There is also quite a bit of research on its beneftis for joint pain, sleep and for exercise recovery.
I use these. I started out with four a day. When the pain was gone I dropped to two a day, and that worked. When I tried one a day the pain started coming back, so it's been two a day ever since.

Tart cherries have an anti-inflammatory compound (phenolic) and it appears that this is why it is helpful for DOMs or joint pain.

Thank you. I just ordered Fallon's book.
I took it everyday for over a year. Didn't do a thing for my back or knee pain. But, it does taste good.

My husband also uses tart cherry juice for arthritic knee pain.
