Hi to everyone that suffer from osteoarthritis! I had to post a message about the recent news about a possible cure for the long term disease that's osteoarthritis. Recent research suggests that a compound ( sulforaphane) found in broccoli if used in the form of a pill ( you would have to eat vast amounts of broccoli to get equal benefits to one dose of the drug) blocks the inflammation and damage to the cartilage. SFX-01 it's called. Science is amazing I hope it will not take too long to have it available and help millions of people  smile

    Sorry but this has been around the block quite a few times. Its only if you can get the cartilage to regrow can you cure the problem.

    The scientists are always coming up with something new. I wonder who paid them for this bit of research? Probably the hard up farmers who can't get paid enough by the supermarkets for their produce! lol  twisted frown I wish one of these Graduates would invent a new body for me! That would help no end. razz
