Pat -- have you ever listened to "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" by Dr. Joel Wallach?  
His tape is very interesting and worthwhile, and his recommendation is to add a 
tablespoon of gelatin to a small glass of Vitamin C-enhanced orange juice every 
morning.  Warming it up a little creates a very tasty concoction that you sort 
of eat with a spoon.  Did that for years and years -- don't know why I got away 
from it.  I need to do it again.

I've been thinking about using gelatin, but it's been so busy the last several 
weeks with my daughter and her family visiting.  Now, holding the small box 
which contains four packets, I'm wondering what to do with it.  Would it be 
effective to make it into jello using juice and water.  That would require four 
packets of gelatin and four cups of liquid.  That would be two cups more per 
box than what you consumed, wouldn't it?  But no way could I eat that four 
times a day!  Do you think the gelatin is effective or is it mostly the 
increased intake of water?  How long would one need to use this?

I'm doing well with using Thorvin kelp.  Luckily, I like the lecithin, because 
the kelp tastes way too fishy for me, but I have no trouble getting a teaspoon 
of each down once a day.

I just started taking my glucosamine, chondriotin, and MSM today, once again.  
A friend of mine has been able to discontinue her Celebrex anti-inflammatory 
and uses nothing for pain since she started that plus fish oil and vitamin D.  
She had had significant pain, especially in her knee.
