better eating habits. The diet should be such that helps checking the building up of toxins and acid waste in the

Cetyl Myristoleate for Arthrtis: Science or Speculation

Cetyl Myristoleate for Arthrtis: Science or Speculation
by: Rusty Ford
There are a lot of fabulous stories about Cetyl Myristoleate (also known as CMO or CM) floating across
the Internet. Mine is one of them. There have been a number of articles published in little known
journals or magazines. There have been four small booklets published. One making fantastic claims,
all four filled with anecdotal evidence but offering no real research to back up the claims. There are a
number of Doctors sharing the results they are having with their patients but so does every other
wonder-working product. The question is, are there any scientific studies to back up any of these
claims? The answer is yes. To date there are several patient studies and two double blind studies
completed. I will mention the three most prominent below.
Dr Len Sands of the San Diego Clinic completed the first human study on the effectiveness on Cetyl
Myristoleate in 1995. There were 48 arthritis patients in this study. All but two showed significant
improvement in articular mobility (80% or better) and reduction of pain (70% or better). Obviously the
study had its flaws. One doctor conducted the study, there was no control group and the number of
participants was small. Even so, it suggested to many that maybe there was some hope here and that
more scientific studies should follow.
The first double blind study followed two years later. Dr. H. Siemandi conducted a double blind study
under the auspices of the Joint European Hospital Studies
