Knox Gelatin, the unflavored gelatin that is found in grocery stores is chicken cartilage. Mix with orange or any type of juice to make it taste better and drink three times a day. I drink it and it's works well for me. I had pain going up and down the stairs or even a step. Bending, squatting any thing that involved the movement of my joints. I think it depends on how bad your arthritis as to how long it will take to cure or make it a lot better. It took about a week for me to not feel pain but only a couple of days to feel relief. I feel that my joints didn't get that way in a few days so I gave it time and it worked. I have heard of others taking longer, as in three to six months to completely stop feeling the pain but they got relief before that time.

Knox Gelatin is NOT chicken cartilage. Knox Gelatin is produced from pork. It will work to some extent (any gelatin is better than none), but there are better products out there. Real chicken cartilage gelatin is supposed to be the best because, as far as I know, it's the only was that has been used in scientific studies, so if you can afford it, by all means use that. However, there are plenty of reports from people who use pure beef gelatin with very good results. Also, pure beef gelatin is a lot cheaper.

In reply to: Margymckenzie from Mombasa, Kenya -
The part that is used by the supplement industry is the thick rubbery breastbone cartilage, that is in the middle of the breast, and can be cut off easily. CHICKEN STERNUM CARTILAGE.
According to clinical trials, a 10 milligram dose is as effective as a larger dose. This is a very small amount. But it can not be heat damaged, or cooked. Only low temperature dried.
However: I chop it up with a knife into fine pieces, put these into a blender with water, blend the chicken sternum cartilage to a slurry in the blender, then pour the blended cartilage water into a ice cube trays to freeze them into cubes. I then use 1 cube of iced slurry as a dose, one time per day. [for someone else]. I estimate each ice cube contains 10 to 100 miligrams of actual cartilage. Rough guess.
I find this method much easier than trying to dry the cartilage out and grind it up, due to spoilage problems, bacterial contamination.
I add the ice cube of raw chicken cartilage to a bone broth, etc, which has a flavor to it, to cover up the raw cartilage flavor. I do not let the cartilage get very hot, which would ruin it. But a hot broth, not boiling, should not harm its active principle.
The patient, has poly-arthralgia, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome, with symptoms changing daily; that it is difficult to judge how effective this has been for them. [probably from a fluoride based poison, ]
I hope this information is of help you.
Chicken Cartilage
Well, my favorite disease is Arthritis. The reason why I love Arthritis is that it's easy to fix. And when you can fix something as horrible and debilitating and painful and expensive and as miserable as Arthritis, you get kind of excited about this concept of preventing and curing disease with nutrition. And so I tell people about this arthritis thing all the time. So let's have a quick look at arthritis.
Number one, 75-80% of all Americans over the age of 50 get arthritis to one degree or one type or another, and according to the CDC, the Center for Disease Control, 35 to 50 million baby-boomers are going to get arthritis in the next 7 to 10 years and there's not a single medical treatment designed to treat or fix it. Aspirin certainly doesn't fix arthritis, it causes gastric bleeding and death. Tylenol doesn't fix arthritis, there's 50,000 cases of kidney failure each year, 5000 so severe you need a kidney transplant. Then there's Ibuprofen, Advil, and Aleve, these things don't fix arthritis, and they cause liver disease in 2-5% of users including liver sclerosis, even if you don't drink. And then there's metholtrexate(?) and gold shots(?). These things don't fix arthritis, they subdue your bone marrow so that you can't make normal platelets and white blood cells. Then you have the granddaddy of all medical treatments for arthritis, Prednizone and Cortisone. They don't fix arthritis. They subdue your immune system which leaves you open to diseases far, far more horrible than arthritis, and Prednizone and Cortisone accelerates the loss of minerals from your bone. Something you don't want when you have osteoporosis and arthritis.
When these prescription medications and over-the-counter medications don't work anymore to relieve pain and inflammation, the only thing left for you medically is joint-replacement surgery. And I never liked to send my patients in for joint-replacement surgery, cause they never work out well. In fact, many times you are worse off after the surgery than you were before the surgery.
The advantage my patients have always had is that I'm a veterinarian as well as a physician. So I always used to tell my patients "Look, we have all these nutritional formulas designed to prevent and cure disease in animals, including arthritis, and so I tried adapting nutritional arthritis formulas designed to prevent and cure arthritis in pigeons and turkeys, dogs and cats, sheep, pigs, horses, cows, lions, tigers and bears to human use. It was no surprise to me, it works just as well in humans as it does in animals, because it was designed to prevent and cure arthritis in pigs. And of course it has some really nifty stuff in it, which I have been telling people to use for 20 years, and I have literally seen tens of thousands of people who have had a regrowth of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, connective tissue, bone foundation, bone matrix. Doesn't matter if they are 20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90, I've seen people 97 years old regrow cartilage and bone, even if they had bone to bone arthritis. If there's blood supply to that joint and that bone, they will regrow bone and cartilage.
Well, Harvard Medical School goes berserk when you say stuff like that. "Wallach, you can't say those things! And the only thing left when they get bone to bone arthritis is joint-replacement surgery. " And I would agree with him if the only raw materials you are using is Tylenol and aspirin and Prednizone and Cortisone. We have learned over 50 years that you can't regrow cartilage and bones using those things.
Now one of the basic things, of course, that the Harvard Medical School jumped on and said "this is so ridiculous that this couldn't work! " And so they took 29 arthritis patients who had not responded in any way to heroic medical treatment for arthritis over 15 to 20 years. They took them off their medication, it wasn't working anyway, lined them up for joint-replacement surgery, and for 90 days before their surgery they gave them heaping tablespoon of ground up chicken cartilage in their orange juice every morning for 90 days. They were sort of chuckling in their beer saying "nothing is going to happen". Well, here's what happened. In 10 days these people had complete relief of pain inflammation that they hadn't had in 15 to 20 years. In 30 days they could open up a new pickle jar that had never been opened without pain to the fingers, wrists, elbows and shoulders. In 90 days 28 of the 29 were clinically cured. Now this is from the Harvard Medical School and the Boston VA. That meant that they had complete return, 100% return, of the range of motion, all of the pain and inflammation was gone, in their fingers and toes and hips and knees and neck, and certainly many of them still had knots on their fingers, cause it was only 90 days, and you would think they would call me up, these professors from Harvard Medical School and from the Boston VA, and say "Look, Wallach, we have to apologize to you. We've been bad-mouthing you for 20 years and why don't you come up to Boston, let's talk about the whole thing?" Here's what they said, "After 3 months it was clear that the drug was beneficial."
Chicken cartilage had become a drug in 90 days! Now why would that happen? Well, because you can't patten chicken cartilage, and they convinced the US Patten Office that they were using a drug to do this study, and they actually got a use-patten on chicken cartilage. And you, too, for $3500 a month, can get Harvard Medical School's chicken cartilage in a capsule for arthritis. (You can get it for 30 cents a day, ha, ha). That's kind of interesting. And of course, cartilage or gelatine, has chondroitin sulfate in it, glucosamine sulfate, collagen, these are all the basic raw materials to rebuild cartilage and bone. Now again I have been telling my human patients this for 20 years. They've been using gelatine and cartilage for race horses for 100 years for their cartilage and ligaments and joints. And in 1995, a Luke Bucci, an exercise physiologist came out with a great book called "Pain Free", and he talks about the advantages of gelatine and cartilage and glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate and collagen for regrowing cartilage, ligaments, tendons, connective tissue, bone foundation, bone matrix, he does this with nutrition. He does this with glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate and collagen and cartilage and gelatine. Just a couple of months ago, a medical doctor, Dr. Jason Theodisakus, MD, wrote the "Arthritis Cure", subtitle "the medical miracle that can halt, reverse and may even can cure osteoarthritis."

Could you please tell me what type of Chicken Cartilage was used? There are so many different types online (powders, capsules, etc. )... Hydrolyzed, Denatured, Type I, Type II, ETC.... It's really kinda confusing! Thanks!

Journal article from nih says undenatured chicken collagen (type 2 collagen). See article at this link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7222752/
So do not use collagen peptides which are denatured collagen or hydrolyzed collagen..i.e. collagen that has been broken down into peptides.

Someone has to sell it. If it works who cares! If you have ever read his books you would know he is very knowledgable. He was a vet and performed many autopsies on animals before he decided to become a physician. He hated that animals get nutritional help when sick and humans don't.... They get medicated. He has been tireless in spreading the word. In his book he says down syndrome is a zinc deficiency that was cured in animals many years ago.... Yet humans are still born with it.... Shameful.

Chicken Cartilage
While looking for info online I found this which I suspect is a different study but might be the same one:
Harvard medical school did an experiment on 29 people, giving them a tablespoon full of chicken cartilage a day. After 10 days all of the patients had relief of pain and swelling, after 30 days the patients could use joints with no problems and after 90 days 28 of the 29 patients were clinically cured. But what gets to me on this, Harvard said that the "drug" was beneficial. How is chicken cartilage a drug??
BTW I also heard from someone else that reported that fruits that start with P are great for helping breathing problems for what it's worth.

On January 17, 1995, Beatrice Dexter's article about the benefits of honey and cinnamon powder appeared in The Weekly World News. It was the tabloid sold at the grocery store checkout line, with headlines like “Bat Boy” and “I Married Bigfoot.”… I miss those papers; they were hilarious.
Arthritis patients should take, twice a day (morning and night), a cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken regularly, even chronic arthritis can be cured.
A research at the Copenhagen University observed doctors treating their patients with a mixture of 1 tbsp honey and 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder before breakfast. Within a week, out of the 200 people treated, 73 patients were totally relieved of pain; within a month, almost all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain. Arthritis patients should take, twice a day (morning and night), a cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken regularly, even chronic arthritis can be cured.
I've been taking Ceylon cinnamon (sticks ground into a powder using my coffee grinder). I've been at it now for 2 1/2 weeks and I can tell a difference. My joints are not as stiff. I plan on doing this for a full 6 weeks and I'll report back with results.

I am now 4 weeks into the ‘'Cinnamon Cure' for Rheumatoid Arthritis in my hip joint. I am feeling about 50% better. Still not out of the woods but this “Cinnamon Cure” is promising. Any one with RA or any Arthritis condition needs to try this.
Here is the science behind why it works.
Cinnamon Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Cinnamon is good for helping to reduce inflammation in your body due to the compound cinnamaldehyde.
A study published in the journal Food & Function found that Ceylon cinnamon and Cassia cinnamon are one of the most important anti-inflammatory foods. Cinnamon extracts contain cinnamaldehyde which can help treat age-related inflammatory conditions. (9)
Lab studies have shown that compounds in cassia cinnamon help to lower inflammatory markers in the blood. Scientists concluded that cinnamon extract has potential use in natural health products due to its excellent anti-inflammatory properties. (10)
Cinnamon Consumption Improves Clinical Symptoms and Inflammatory Markers in Women With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29722610/
Abstract
Objective: This study evaluated the effect of cinnamon on disease activity, serum levels of some inflammatory markers, and cardiovascular risk factors in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: In this randomized double-blind clinical trial, 36 women with RA were randomly divided to 2 groups, receiving 4 capsules of either 500 mg cinnamon powder or placebo daily for 8 weeks. Fasting blood sugar (FBS), lipid profile, liver enzymes, serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), blood pressure, and clinical symptoms were determined at baseline and end of the week 8.
Results: At the end of the study, there was a significant decrease of serum levels of CRP (p < 0.001) and TNF-α (p < 0.001) in the cinnamon group as compared to the placebo group. Diastolic blood pressure was also significantly lower in the intervention group compared with the control group (p = 0.017). Compared with placebo, cinnamon intake significantly reduced the Disease Activity Score (DAS-28) (p < 0.001), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (p < 0.001), and tender (TJC) (p < 0.001) and swollen joints (SJC) (p < 0.001) counts. No significant changes were observed for FBS, lipid profile, liver enzymes, or ESR.
Conclusion: Cinnamon supplementation can be a safe and potential adjunct treatment to improve inflammation and clinical symptoms in patients with RA.

Here is my 8 week update and review of the “Cinnamon Cure for Arthritis”. Mine is RA and according to my Dr's, surgery is my only option (well that ain't going to happen).
Using a scale 0 (no pain) – 10 (extreme pain and stiffness).
Starting pain level 2 months ago at 7 – 8.
After 8 weeks on cinnamon, pain and stiffness levels are at 2 – 3.
I am noticing I have more flexibility and less stiffness.
Is this “Cinnamon Cure” worth doing? Yes! Everyone with arthritis should try this home remedy. However, some people with certain underlying health issues should use caution when trying this.
I am going to continue taking cinnamon to see how far I can push this.

Sure, I would take the 600mg capsules. Ceylon is perfectly safe. But, so is Cassia. It is the most commom cinnamon spice found at US grocery stores.
I want to take a minute and talk about Cassia cinnamon.
Cassia cinnamon has been used as a medicinal herb in China since 2700BC. It is the 4th most consumed spice on planet earth.
The link between Cassia, Coumarin, and Liver Damage
Though Coumarin is a natural ingredient, it carries a risk for causing “rare liver damage or failure in a small number of sensitive individuals” in large amounts. Cassia cinnamon has high levels (about 0.4-0.8%) of coumarin, those who “have a history of liver issues” and are taking Cinnamon on a daily basis for health reasons should switch to Ceylon Cinnamon, which only has 0.03-0.04% Coumarin. However, Cassia is used extensively in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In this regard, research varies from study to study on the suggested amount of Cassia cinnamon that may be consumed daily to avoid liver damage, ranging from less than 1-5 grams, or 1½ teaspoon a day. For those that consume more than this amount on a regular, daily basis; switching to Ceylon cinnamon may be a better option.
What would be a Lethal Dosage of Cassia Cinnamon
The median lethal dose of coumarin is set at 275 mg/kg of body weight, and there is only .31g – 6.97g of coumarin in each kg of Cassia cinnamon. So how much needs to be ingested for the average adult, weighing 195.5 lbs. for a minimum lethal dosage?
Answer: The average 195.5lb adult would need to consume roughly 3.5 kilos (123.459 oz) of Cassia Cinnamon to get the amount of coumarin in a day for the minimum lethal dosage. That's about 15 cups of Cassia cinnamon powder. That is insane. Most sane people won't do that. But, I'm sure some D.A. will try it. Hell, they eat tide laundry detergent pods….
This internet fear-mongering of the big brown cinnamon stick boggy monster is hugely over inflated and pointless. More people die from liver damage caused by Tylenol pills then do cassia cinnamon. Each year, about 4,500 people are hospitalizations in Canada occur due to acetaminophen overdose.
In fact, in my lifetime, I've personally seen 3 people die in their 50s from living on Tylenol for chronic pain issues and destroying their livers where, as ‘0' people dead from drinking cinnamon tea or taking cinnamon supplements.
This argument can be made for any prescription drug, OTC medicine or herbal supplement. It all depends on the “general health statis” of the individual take the drug. If you are in general good health, average weight (male 172lb female 144lb), eat healthy, your chances of an “adverse reaction” are slim to none. If you are taking prescription drugs or living on OTC's, then your odds increase. If you are totally dependent on drugs just to function daily and your over all health is poor, over weight, well then you are screwed… don't expect a miracle...
I found one case reported from 2015, From the American Journal of Case Reports
source: https://amjcaserep.com/abstract/index/idArt/892804
Case Report: A 73-year-old woman was seen in the Emergency Department complaining of abdominal pain associated with vomiting and diarrhea after she started taking cinnamon supplements for about 1 week (the report was not specific about which type of cinnamon she was taking). The patient had been taking statin for coronary artery disease for many months. The laboratory workup and imaging studies confirmed the diagnosis of hepatitis. The detail workup did not reveal any specific cause. Cinnamon and statin were held. A few weeks after discharge, the statin was resumed without any further complications. This led to a diagnosis of cinnamon-statin combination-induced hepatitis.
Conclusion: Don't mix cinnamon supplements with statin drugs. (note: she did not die, report does not mention that statins are known to cause liver damage – see more below)
I switch back and forth between ceylon are cassia depending on what I'm trying to achieve in the body. I find that cassia is more drying to the body which is great for mucus condition (i.e. wet cough, congestion in lungs, mucus in the digestive tract...).
Cassia cinnamon is Generally Recongized as Safe by the FDA.
CFR - Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 – Substances Generally Recongized as Safe
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=182.20
Note by Rob: Will I ever take a statin? Hell NO! And here is the reason why. Over 300 drugs are known to interact with statins.
Here are some side effects of statin drugs:
• muscle pain
• fatigue
• exercise intolerance (muscles too painful and weak to exercise)
• memory loss
• tingling, numbness or burning pain in limbs
• irritability
• sleep problems
• sexual dysfunction
• cancer
• stroke
• diabetes
• autoimmune diseases
• digestive problems
• kidney disease
• liver issues
• lung problems
• weight gain
and many more….
