Medical research discovers ancient aboriginal remedy for arthritis - Emu Oil
Like many "modern" breakthroughs, the powers of Emu
oil were discovered long ago by a primitive people. For hundreds of years,
the Australian aborigines used Emu oil to eliminate the pain of inflamed
joints. Modern scientists and doctors became curious when they realized that
painful arthritis was largely absent in many Aboriginal tribes, while at the
same time an estimated 10% of modern Australians and 15% of Americans are
daily arthritis sufferers. As a result, comprehensive research has been
completed over the last few years on the treatment of arthritis using Emu
oil.
Experimentation with
Emu oil increased in intensity once the potential in treating arthritis
became known. Initial Australian government laboratory tests credited Emu
oil with "creating a type of anti-inflammatory agent". As more encouraging
reports continued, regional media became very interested and excited.
Following the results of one study, the best-selling Australian newspaper
even proclaimed in its headlines "Emu Oil Beats Arthritis".
Dr. Peter Ghosh,
director of the research lab at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney,
Australia, is the man primarily responsible for the change in Emu oil's
status from folk cure to medical wonder. Engaged in arthritis research since
the 1960's, Dr. Ghosh is considered one of Australia's pre-eminent
authorities on arthritis. Often collaborating in conjunction with Dr.
Michael Whitehouse, of the Department of Pathology, University of Adelaide in South Australia, these two scientists are known as the country's leading
experts on the development and evaluation of up-to-date anti-arthritis
treatments.
Drs. Ghosh and
Whitehouse worked on the initial far-reaching study titled, "The Anti-
Arthritic Activity of Emu Oil”, which demonstrated that Emu oil does
eliminate inflammation and pain in many patients and that people can get
real results from this "ancient" remedy. They also discovered that Emu oil,
unlike many other products used to treat this disabling disease, does not
have any known side effects.
"This is not
witchcraft. These findings are supported by scientific evidence," announced
Dr. Ghosh. "Emu oil offers the best relief ever for victims of this
crippling disease."
The Ghosh and
Whitehouse report started things rolling and interest has been growing ever
since it was published. Continuing laboratory experiments have consistently
confirmed the therapeutic usefulness of Emu oil for arthritis sufferers,
while thousands of testimonials have come in from grateful users.
