Emu oil

Does anyone have any experience of using emu oil to help OA? If so how effective was it? Kind regards richie

I always tend to think with these products that if it worked, we'd all be using it already.

Thanks Lily Mary, yes I guess I just keep hoping something will eventually live up to the claims that the produces make.

There’s plenty of people out there seeking to make money from people who feel desperate. The cynic in me believes this is just a madketing opportunity for snake oil peddlers. In each case there may be at least a few people who feel some benefit from these types of products, but you’d be hard pushed to say whether this was a direct outcome, coincidence or the placebo effect. Personally I put my faith in science, as the outcome will have been tested and tested again.

Equally there are people convinced medical science is a massive con by big pharma or some bizarre conspiracy theory. We have to make our choices. After all the arguments on social media triggered by the Covid vaccine, I suspect the two different camps have become even more entrenched, but their arguments against modern science I find deeply saddening and have just made me put my faith in it even more.
