It is very easy to spend lots of $$$$ for worthless products helping to fill the pockets of "scam" artists. For those who can determine the difference, more power to you. As for most of us, I say be careful out there!
You're right Justjim, I'm also a skeptic. There are hundreds of products available in health food stores which promise miracles. I personally find that it's always great to get unbiased recommendations from people I know, or from a trusted website like TOTV. Then I know it's something I might like to try.

Speaking of products, many people swear by glucosamine, but I've never found it to be beneficial. Perhaps I'm not using the correct kind.
