Recent Study Shows Glucosamine Does NOT Help Hip Arthritis

An article was posted on MSNBC.com that talks about a two year study by the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands that recently came to an end. The study concluded, based on a closely controlled test of 222 subjects, that glucosamine has no meaningful effect on the pain or function of hip arthritis. The report also commented that, despite numerous studies, there is no definitive evidence that glucosamine helps at all.

So for those who consistently take glucosamine for that reason, this may certainly change their perception. But this report leaves one question unanswered: what does help with hip arthritis pain? Naturally everyone knows that pain killers help, but the human body builds up resistance to painkillers over time. So, besides painkillers, what helps with hip arthritis pain?

Hip arthritis sufferers can find relief from an assortment of products that require very little change to their everyday lifestyle, but reduce the strain on their hip joints. From far infrared heat therapy to lift chairs, a review of the products is available here: Hip Arthritis Pain Relief Products.

SafetyMate Emergency Instruction Device Can Help Save a Life

The SafetyMate Emergency Instruction Device really can help save a life! Already used in schools, daycare facilities, and businesses across the country, SafetyMate provides valuable assistance in emergency situations.

Have you ever been in a highly stressful emergency situation? Chances are you have not. Regardless of how many CPR and First Aid certifications you have earned or how much medical training you have received, if you have never been in a position where you had to use it, you never know how you are going to react. In many cases, fully qualified personnel have a tendency to “freeze” or forget their training. SafetyMate is there to help you remember.

Whether someone is experiencing chest pains, having convulsions, or choking, SafetyMate offers clear, concise instruction using a series of yes/no questions. By simply pressing the button on the front of the SafetyMate that corresponds with their situation, the responder is walked through what needs to be done to help the person in distress. SafetyMate uses instructions taken from the most current Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) and First Aid Guidelines.

Safety Mate is available in two versions: the “Professional” version is designed for offices and is currently being used by Fortune 500 companies. It includes instruction for emergencies such as Amputations, Chest Pain, and Homeland Security Threats, which include Chemical, Radiation, and Biological Threats as well as Explosions.

The “School” version is designed for schools and daycare centers. It feature some different situations than the “Professional” version including Asthma, Bites/Stings, and Poison. It serves as a valuable tool for school nurses, teachers, and administrators who find it more convenient to use than a first aid book.
