Texas State University 1988 - Researchers concluded that "Compared to standard antidepressant agents, SAM has fewer side effects and a shorter lag period (i.e., works faster)
	Acta Neural Scand Suppl 154:7-14, 1994 - Researchers concluded that SAM-e was more effective than a placebo, just as effective as prescribed tricyclic medications, and very
	safe. "A potentially important treatment for depression".

Compared to other antidepressants such as St. John's Wart which can take weeks to notice improvement, CELLFOOD® SAM-e users often experience great improvement within days.    

Do not use any brand of SAM-e if you have been diagnosed with bipolar disease, as with many antidepressant drugs.

Osteoarthritis - a condition which hits nearly 21 million Americans according to the National Institutes of Health. There are over 100 arthritic conditions, of which osteoarthritis is the most prevalent, and "affects nearly 10 percent of the population over age 60", according to Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary.

Osteoarthritis is different from rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease resulting in overgrown lining of the tissues, thickening, and invasion of the cartilage and even bones. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease. SAM-e is necessary for the manufacture of sulfur-containing cartilage compounds. SAM-e directly enhances the action of cartilage cell metabolism, creating a powerful joint health compound. One of the most important benefits of SAM-e in comparison to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is the lack of negative side effects with SAM-e. NSAIDs side effects are directly linked to ulcers, gastrointestinal disorders, and kidney and liver damage among many other unwanted effects. SAM-e is a natural component of the body, but diminishes with age, like so many other aging properties of the human body. According to research evaluation, supplemental SAM-e has been noted as follows: (Am J Med 83 [5A]:60-65, Nov 1987)

SAM-e vs. ibuprofen - In this double blind study, 36 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, hip and/or spine were given 1,200 mg. of SAMe or 1,200 mg. of ibuprofen. SAMe performed equally as well as ibuprofen.

SAM-e vs, piroxicam - 45 patients completed this double-blind, randomized, 12-week trial comparing 1,200 mg of SAMe daily with 20 mg of piroxicam (an anti-inflammatory pain reliever) daily. Both treatments proved effective in reducing total pain scores. However, the patients treated with SAMe maintained clinical improvement longer than patients receiving piroxicam.

SAM-e vs. naproxen - This double-blind, multi-center study featured 734 participants, 582 with hip or knee osteoarthritis. While both SAM-e and naproxen (i.e., type of NSAID) performed significantly better than a placebo, tolerability of SAM-e was significantly better than naproxen.

In addition to the lack of side-effects with SAM-e, SAM-e has a very strong safety record, has been shown to protect the stomach lining, and can rebuild the cartilage matrix while it diminishes pain. Before using NSAIDs, SAM-e should be a sought after therapy for Osteoarthritis.

Other area's SAM-e is showing promising therapeutic effects:

Fibromyalgia * Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Epstein Barr * Liver disorders           (increases glutathione levels which have shown to protect the liver) restoring normal liver function in the presence of various liver diseases including alcoholic and non-alcoholic cirrhosis and estrogen-induced cholestasis. Prevents and reverses liver toxicity from drug and chemical usage or absorption.

"One of the greatest risks of chronic liver diseases, such as chronic hepatitis is liver cancer," explain Dr. Murray. "Supplementation with SAM-e is very much indicated in patients with these diseases in order to reduce the risk of liver cancer."

Anti-aging - According to Elson Haas, M.D., glutathione "is a key protector from the potential damage by wastes and toxins and is effective in preventing aging." SAM-e increases glutathione levels more effectively than glutathione supplements. Glutathione keeps the red blood cells strong, while it transports nutrients to immune cells.
