[Margaret Pilkington]

I use a number of food supplements.......I take the responsibility for checking on the side effects myself......I make sure that I follow the manufacturers instructions, and I do not believe that I should be stopped from taking care of myself.
I do not want to have to see a medical practitioner to get Glucosamine and chondoitin......I'm happy to pay for my supplements.
Taking these has enabled me to reduce my dosage of anti-inflammatories(themselves, not without some risk and side effects) to just occasional use.
