    Where is video of the 4 other treatments? Can someone show me the way?

  2. @trekuhl3966 on March 20, 2025 at 10:08 pm

    I have restarted an exercise program at a HIIT gym. This has had a significant decrease in my knee pain and increased my range of motion. So far there has been little decrease in stiffness. Right now I take no supplements and want to start. This video may be a good starting point, at least following my upcoming Dr visit.

    Boswellia serrata, turmeric and curcumin, and glucosamine chondroitin do nothing to relieve my hip and knee OA pain. not even Thorne brand. Nor does the Specialized Pro Resolving Mediators supplement from either Metagenics or Thorne.

    My old age and heart condition make surgery out of the question.

    I have not tried PRP injections or ozone therapy.

    I do get fast temporary pain relief from the Homedics PA-200H Deluxe Percussion Action Massager and the Medcursor Massage Gun .

    Liberal application of HealthWise Maximum Strength Lidocaine Cream and Globe Lidocaine patches also provide short-term relief.

    Leg lifts while standing and supporting myself against a wall are also beneficial.

    Mock me for bringing this up if you like, I"m too old to care, but my overall daily hip OA pain decreased most when I started using a high toliet seat which eliminated the dreadful pain of lowering my hip in the bathroom. And a sock aid elimated the pain of raising my hip to put my socks on. I highly recommend both of these things for hip OA sufferers.

    My joint pain has reduced significantly after using Joint Aid Plus for the past two weeks. It’s a great alternative to over-the-counter pain meds

  9. @dee2251 on March 20, 2025 at 10:16 pm

    I believe that turmeric/curcumin together with Boswellia Serrata also work synergistically.

  10. @shadrackollennu1199 on March 20, 2025 at 10:17 pm

    Can you take glucosamine and chondroiton at the same time taking nattokinase?

  11. @vijayaramakrishnaraokalise8304 on March 20, 2025 at 10:20 pm

    Are rumaliya forte tablets of Himalaya ayurvedic products effective?

    Thanks doc. Liked and subscribed

  19. @dougmartin6717 on March 20, 2025 at 10:31 pm

    Ate tons of this stuff over the years. No effect. Ortho doc says it’s all snake oil. Just dissolved into nothing by stomach acid. I’ve learned the hard way that cartilage is a rare gem that does not regrow or get stronger with exercise, as does muscle, bone, and ligaments. Some far out treatments out there, like replacement with animal cartilage, or drilling bone ends to produce scar tissue that mimics cartilage a little. And of course, mechanical replacements. But rule 1, treat your cartilage as the princess it is. Limit impact activity and keep your weight to its healthy minimum.

  20. @shadrackollennu1199 on March 20, 2025 at 10:31 pm

    I have bad stiffness and pain at my lower back, and I don’t know what will help me. So please help me. Thank you

  22. @andrewhadjimichael9616 on March 20, 2025 at 10:32 pm

    What are your thoughts on this medical paper that suggests boswellia, devils claw and rose hip are effective?

  23. @seriouslyWeird on March 20, 2025 at 10:34 pm

    isn’t curcumin just a component of turmeric? and we should get 1000mg/day of which?

  24. @theHKsinger on March 20, 2025 at 10:36 pm

    I’m 44 y/o, minimal excercise my whole life. Knees bagan clicking with painful snapping 2 months ago. Slipped on the stairs last week while carrying heavy stuff and it got so painful i could hardly walk. physical therapy worked a little then failed completely. Xray shows signs of osteoarthritis on both my knees.

    Began taking the combination suggested in this video this week, with the addition of Omega fish oil supplement, and the pain feels to be getting a bit better.

    Will begin excercising more to strengthen up my leg muscles as much as I can before my 50s 🫶🏻 Thanks doc, and best wishes everyone

  25. @paul-w2c on March 20, 2025 at 10:37 pm

    How to order and how it cost? From Sabah.

  26. @francescag6889 on March 20, 2025 at 10:37 pm

    Try Boron it’s the best for arthritic pain, better than Turmeric.

  27. @drivko6393 on March 20, 2025 at 10:40 pm

    MSM can help too

  28. @AugmentedDictatorGames on March 20, 2025 at 10:42 pm

    Turmeric has been shown to increase stomach acid which can be bad for some people. It also interferes with muscle protein synthesis. Glucosamine and Cho also have really bad gastrointestinal side effects that some people may not be able to tolerate. Also, why the heck is Cissus not in this video?

  29. @heidijoubert6156 on March 20, 2025 at 10:42 pm

    I ordered Relief Factor and the capsules have a mixture of herbs. Would you recommend making capsules from the 3 ingredients you provided (all 3 mixed together?) If so, how many mg in each capsule? This would be such a money saver to make my own.

  30. @nitk9423 on March 20, 2025 at 10:46 pm

    Great Help

  31. @uso_Jus2SmooTh94 on March 20, 2025 at 10:48 pm

    So which is the best of the 3?

  32. @Gotta-love-Elon on March 20, 2025 at 10:49 pm

    Moringa really works!

  33. @solomonimani on March 20, 2025 at 10:51 pm

    White Willow Bark is ok. I May have to purchase the Boswella Serrata! I also use Turmeric Cumin. That seems to work at times. Thank you!

  34. @PaulineHendricks-wt9oc on March 20, 2025 at 10:51 pm

    Have tried all three of those and none worked for me at all. Total BS.

  35. @CocoChanelle-1 on March 20, 2025 at 10:51 pm

    I have been using Glucosamine with MSM.

  36. @teiborwahlang4874 on March 20, 2025 at 10:52 pm

    can we take all in the same times

  37. @timstone813 on March 20, 2025 at 10:52 pm
  38. @rma042870 on March 20, 2025 at 10:52 pm

    What about NEM?

  39. @kareennapier5925 on March 20, 2025 at 10:53 pm

    So is thre a supplement that has all of them in one pill?

  40. @lindamastropietro4429 on March 20, 2025 at 10:54 pm

    Most doctors are aware of supplements and most will tell you not to take them

  41. @mariaraqual8635 on March 20, 2025 at 10:54 pm

  43. @martindoyle766 on March 20, 2025 at 10:57 pm

    Great video ive found i healed myself using 800ius of vitamin D and 600 grams of calcium carbonate plus vitamin k2 to get the calcium in the joint not the blood stream causing calcification but the main thing that worked for me was doing 100 free weight squats i built up from 10 squats to 100 im now pain free i also use termeric with a pinch of ground pepper 👍💪

  44. @Tamanna-g1p on March 20, 2025 at 10:57 pm

    Nice Video , Joint Aid capsules by Planet Ayurveda is also very effective to provide relief from pain

  45. @lecourson8327 on March 20, 2025 at 10:58 pm

    Thank you for your information

  46. @SunShineLady-d4r on March 20, 2025 at 10:58 pm

    What about Collagen and MSM 😊?

  47. @sanjaysah2572 on March 20, 2025 at 10:59 pm

    Glucosamine 750mg and chondroitin 400mg one tab daily,

  48. @africanqueenmo on March 20, 2025 at 11:01 pm

    If you’re allergic to shellfish don’t take glucosamine. What works for me are ginger, and CalMagZinc supplements.

  49. @Allenmassageguy on March 20, 2025 at 11:02 pm

    Love this video. Awesome information

  50. @billcoty9124 on March 20, 2025 at 11:04 pm
