I am 38 years old and have been experiencing arthritis symptoms for about 3 years. The past year the pain and stiffness has gotten much worse and has affected my ability to care for my young family. Since I have 2 preschool age children, I'm sure you can understand that arthritis is not only physically debilitating for me, but it also has been a great emotional burden as well. I went to my doctor who prescribed the usual NSAIDs. On many days, I would have to take as many as 8 ibuprofen tablets at one time to deal with the joint pain. I found myself eating a lot more to ease my stomach distress caused by the medication. So on top of the other problems associated with NSAIDs, I was gaining weight, which caused further joint problems. I finally decided there had to be another way to deal with this dilemma or I would be crippled or have severe liver problems (or both) by the time I was 50.

I ordered Dr. Douglass’ newsletter. I figured I had nothing to lose since conventional wisdom wasn't working for me. 2 weeks ago, I started taking Ultimate Joint Support. I fully expected to have to wait several weeks to notice an improvement. No one was more pleasantly surprised than me when by day 3 I woke up without the soreness and stiffness that has plagued me since my 3 year old was a baby. Every day I feel a little better and stronger. As a young woman, wife, and mother, I can't tell you how incredible it is to have hope of living a normal, active life. Thank you and your team of researchers from the bottom of my heart.

1) What made you decide to try Ultimate Joint Support? Recommendation from Dr Douglass.

2) Did you notice a difference in how you felt after taking Ultimate Joint Support? My knees stopped "creaking" within a couple of days.

I am a musician and a teacher.  I have to be able to easily move my arms for conducting bands... and as a performer on just about all the wind instruments I need my hands to work properly.  About three years ago I started getting a sort of "lock-up) in the joints on both middle fingers, both at the knuckle and at the next joint up.  This certainly slows down clarinet playing (my principal instrument), while shoulder joint pains were affecting my conducting.

Jury is still out: I still have some problems with the finger joints, although the shoulder joint problems seem to have cleared out pretty well.  The hands do get a workout, though, and do feel better with a few days "rest" when I am not carrying things, etc., but still have some problems.  I think they are not as severe as before.  I did get medical attention on this when I first started about 18 months ago.

In one sense I am not getting the results I wanted, a complete clearing up of the joint problems in the fingers -- but they may be a bit better than before.

I have had no problems with Ultimate Joint Support insofar as I know: no side effects that I am aware of.

What made you decide to try Ultimate Joint Support? Both of my wrists were hurting and my shoulder. Within two days I was feeling better. Now I don't even have any pain.

I am now on my second 3-month batch of Ultimate Joint Support. The reasons I started taking it were that I had heard of the general benefits of Glucosamine but I was impressed by the more advanced formula

you had prepared so I thought I would give it a try. I am 58 years old, play field hockey twice a week, hike the hills regularly and generally am pretty active. As I get older I am aware of the need to

look after my body in general and my joints in particular and UJS seems to be doing that job for me as I am continuing my activities with no pain.

I have definitely noticed improvement in my knees since I started using Ultimate Joint Support. I wish it had the same effect on the herniated disk in my back. I decided to try it because I was having trouble

finding anything with the recommended amounts of MSM and Glucosamine in it.

I decided to buy Ultimate Joint Support because I trust Dr. Douglass. I also had been suffering with joint pain for some time. Now my joint pain is much better.

We were talking about your great product at lunch today. I am happy to help you out.

My father is 83 & always has been an active man. About 12-15 months ago he started finding that if he walked to the shops, about 600 yards, when he returned his knees & legs were aching for 2-3 hours. Having checked with his doctor & after X-rays, which we still have, he was told that he was "running bone on bone". He was give 3 choices: operation, drugs for the rest of his life or acupuncture. He didn't like any of these "choices."

I told him about your Ultimate Joint Support product. He gave it a try & has just finished his 9th bottle. He is back to walking 1-1.5 miles every day at 83. Something he had given up doing for over 12 months. His doctor said it was all in his mind BUT I would love to get another set of X-rays just to prove the doctor wrong. Dad hasn't changed any other thing in his lifestyle or diet so we know it has to be the Ultimate Joint Support. There have been no side affects & he is sticking to this, it works. His mates around him would try them as well BUT there are supply challenges to Australia.

Dad still calls it a miracle.

1.Looked good and I had a need.

2. Yes.

3.My joints don't suffer like they did.

For many years, I have had pain in my knees. At times it would be so sore

that I would use a cane. After two months on the capsules, I don't have any pain.

Did you notice a difference in how you felt after taking Ultimate Joint Support? Considerably better after 3 weeks.

Jacob, Florida

I am a daily runner; sometimes logging up to 45 miles or more a week.   I started having some knee pain and struggled through it for about a year.  I then decided it was time to try something and again I started with the most natural products.  I tried a glucosamine and chondroitin mix from "Life Extension" but felt there was still something more that I needed.  I switched to your glucosamine MSM and it has really worked.  I will continue to take it as long as I run.

It took three months to kick in and by then I had scheduled a knee replacement for 9/5/03....about that time Ultimate Joint Support kicked in....at the end of my first three bottles...I immediately ordered three more and called the Orthopedic Surgeon's office to put it on hold.....it is now 2/4/04 and I'm in the process of re-ordering!! All I can say is "Hooray"

The reason I decided to try Ultimate Joint Support, I had fallen and pulled tendons and ligaments in my right arm.  For the first 2 weeks I lived on pain pills, and the next two weeks I lived on Motrin.  I could not understand why my arm wasn't getting well.  After the 5th week the pain wasn't as severe but I was still in constant pain.  As I am right handed  I had to use that arm constantly.  I subscribed to Dr. Douglass' newsletter and after reading about Ultimate Joint Support I decided to try it.   I knew that MSM was wonderful for joints and with the combination of ingredients and the natural anti-inflammatory it was worth a try.  Within 4 days of taking Ultimate Joint Support, my pain was gone.  I have had no pain since taking the Support .

I was actually considering possible knee surgery, but decided to give UJS a try based on Dr. Douglass' comments. Improvement in the knee took about 2to 3 months, which I consider dramatic. I was not affected in any other way, i.e., side affects. I continue to take the remaining pills one per day. Should I have future deterioration of cartilage, I won't hesitate to get back on your pills. You may use my name if you like. FYI: I am 73 years old.

I heard of your product from HRI. They highly recommended you. My wife uses your product.

Her response to you is that her knee seems to have not gotten worse since she started using your product. She has had one knee operation and hopes to avoid another.

1) What made you decide to try Ultimate Joint Support? I read the daily dose and love it.  I wanted to try something that I was confident was pure and natural.

2) Did you notice a difference in how you felt after taking Ultimate Joint Support? I am a daily runner; sometimes logging up to 45 miles or more a week.   I started having some knee pain and struggled through it for about a year.  I then decided it was time to try something and again I started with the most natural products.  I tried a glucosamine and chondroitin mix from "Life Extension" but felt there was still something more that I needed.  I switched to your glucosamine MSM and it has really worked.  I will continue to take it as long as I run.

3) Is there anything else we should know about your experiencewith Ultimate Joint Support? With the "Life Extension" brand I was taking two capsules three times a day.  With Ultimate Joint Support I take One; three times a day.

Terry, Idaho

Yes I received some relief from using Ultimate Joint Support. I had Guillain-Barre injury to my left leg from knee down, and also the front part of my right foot. I refused to wear a brace and in time I was walking again. now 8 years later there is much pain in the injured area. With this help I was able to get thru the day with minimum pain. I am 84 years old and stay active.

1.) I read about in one of your advertisements or newsletters...can't remember specifically. I have a medium grade level of Arthritis in my knee, which was discovered during arthroscopic surgery a few years ago. I play tennis and walk a lot. The joint supplement I had been taking was more expensive (Dr. Whittaker "Joint Essentials") and was primarily Glucosamine and Chondroitin with some Tumeric Extract, Sea Cucumber extract, Grape seed and Green Tea extract. It did not have MSM. I noticed that your product was heavy on MSM and void of Chondroitin and I read articles indicating that Chondroitin may not help.

So decided to try your product.

2.) I can't positively say that I noticed any difference. I have tried three different versions of joint support and none have completely eliminated my problem. Your version was different in that it had MSM but I could not tell any difference. I took for ~3 months. I have gone for some periods of no pain but not consistently. I read somewhere that there was a slight possibility of "mad Cow" disease because of the derivative products of MSM. I am currently taking the product supplied by Dr. Whittaker.

3)I found your product priced a little better than the others that I have tried. I am also currently taking your daily support product which I have found to be the best overall combination of ingredients for me and price. (I need 200mg selenium/day based on advice of urologolist following my detection of Prostate Cancer and successful Radical Prostectomy). I supplement this with flaxseed. As info, I recently took an anti-oxidant body scan test that showed I had a high level of anti-oxidants in my system so the supplements must be helping.

1) I have had knee surgery 3 times on two different knees. I had two of the surgeries before arthroscopic was developed. As a 56-year old Assistant Scout Master, we took the boys back packing Memorial day weekend 02. This was at Tettegouche State Park MN along the Superior Hiking Trail. By the time we departed, my right knee had swollen to twice the normal size. I could barley walk on it. After a two months of pain and situation not improving I saw a doctor. After referrals and more doctors they gave me a cortisone shot in the knee. It helped the situation. A customer told me about Osteo BI Flex and glucosamine. This help. I read about Ultimate Joint Support on your e-mail letters and tried it. 2) Ultimate Joint Support helped, Flexanol worked the best. 3) I am unemployed, when I can afford it I will order more.

Roger, Virginia

1) I have arthritis and it was bothering me.

2)Yes.

3)No.

I started on your bone and joint health two days ago, and already notice an improvement in my hip pain. the anti inflammatory in there must be super, because all the other ingredients are the same as Wal-Mart supplements.
