Easing Pain

Blog 2

Summary: Looks like we found a new way to ease pain, Chondroitin Sulphate, reduces pain levels. In fact it is being used on patients who have osteoarthiritis, and a test was done by having two sets of patients, one, getting 800mg of chlondroitin sulfate, and the other having a placebo effect. Over a course of a few days, those with the sulfate, showed considerably less pain than those with the placebo effect.
Critique: Maybe there gonna start using this more often for people with arthiritis.
Impact: This can make people with osteoarthiritis life much easier than it was before and can give them more hand movement and less pain.
