CMO has been found to
be beneficial for Arthritis Joint Pain Problems.
What is CMO?
CMO is the name of a modified fatty acid called
Cetyl Myristoleate, which is the common name for cis-9-cetyl
myristoleate. It is a natural substance found in certain animals,
including beavers and mice. As supplied, it is a naturally derived,
highly purified, and refined waxy ester prepared for oral administration.
Fatty acids are the individual components of oils in the same
way that amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Polyunsaturated
fatty acids, such as linotenic acid and linolelic acid, are crucial
to life and are called essential fatty acids (EFAs). Research
shows that CMO appears to have the same beneficial characteristics
as the EFAs, however, it is considerably more potent and the
benefits are longer lasting. EFAs are essential to normal cell
structure, physiological processes, body function, and function
as components to nerve cells and cell membranes. EFAs are depleted
in chronic inflammatory diseases and their deficiency is associated
with many
autoimmune diseases. EFAs when used over an extended period of
time have been shown to decrease pain, inflammation, and motion
limitations of arthritis. One of the characteristics of CMO is
that it acts as a super lubricant (surfactant) for the joints.
How does CMO work?
Reports suggest that CMO has the ability to
reprogram faulty memory T-cells, thus treating a cause of arthritis.
It is believed that CMO has the ability to normalize hyper-immune
responses, thus the favorable results in treating autoimmune
conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus,
but it seems to function more effectively as a surfactant, or
lubricant, and a powerful anti-inflammatory. Although the major
benefits come promptly, minor improvements continue for several
months after finishing the one-month program. In the July issue
of the Townsend Newsletter for Doctors & Patients, a publication
that focuses on medical alternatives, their headline reads "Cetyl
Myristoleate for Arthritis: A Breakthrough!" In their August/September
issue they published an article along with a study of 431 patients
who had inflammatory arthritis for at least one year. For the
patients using the same protocol we follow, 88.2% reported significant
improvement including relief from pain and reduction in stiffness.
It is safe and there are no negative side effects--however, there
are some positive ones.
Does CMO have side effects?
No negative ones have been observed or noted.
Rather than having negative side effects, CMO appears to have
many positive ones! According to many researchers and scientists,
doctors using CMO in their practices, along with writers of articles
and authors of books on Cetyl Myristoleate, CMO works on many
other autoimmune diseases and even has anti-aging properties!
With the hundreds of people who have taken cetyl myristoleate
there have been no confirmed reports of adverse side effects.
In common with fish oils, it may produce some mild burping in
some people which passes within an hour. There have been no reported
interactions with other medications or natural substances. Toxicity
studies have been performed on cetyl myristoleate
and the lack of toxicity is evident. Test results deemed cetyl
myristoleate a non-toxic material in accordance with Federal
regulations.
Can I take it with my current medication?
Yes, but it is always advised to not take
prescriptions at the same time as any supplement product. Either
take the supplement first, waiting at least 40 minutes before
taking a prescription drug, or if you must take the prescription
first, wait 2 hours before taking CMO. This ensures that CMO
will not be adversely effected by the prescription medication.
As always, the goal is to reduce the reliance on medications,
and eventually no longer require them.
Are there special considerations when taking
CMO?
It is recommended in order to get the greatest
results from CMO, all consumption of alcohol and caffeine products
be stopped during the period of treatment. Studies have shown
a clear indication of the relationship between strict conformance
to the protocol and the realized benefits.
