Ever tried this for aches and pains/arthritis? I saw the infomercial on it this afternoon, and for a guy who spends twelve hours a night on his feet, and whose dogs are not only barkin’ but **howlin’** come 7 am, this seems like a great product. Apparently, though, the active ingredient ( **“which unlocks the power…!”** ) of SBS, is **Emu oil**. So I’m thinkin’ to myself, “why not just get some damn emu oil and try **that** before you plonk down 40 bucks for a container of SBS?” What say you, Consumer-Savvy Dopers? Thanks Quasi ---

What I’d like to know is how do you get oil out of an emu? On second thought, maybe I don’t want to know. ---

Quasi, you beat me to the thread. I was just wondering if anyone had tried this Blue Stuff (“It’s a murracle,” according to the old guy on TV). Just what IS the deal with emu oil? Their website is at [www.bluestuff.com](http://www.bluestuff.com). ``` Slight hijack: What about this AccuPress stuff that I keep getting literature for in the mail? No site in sight...... ``` ---

Hey, I’m gonna give this one a bump, if y’all don’t mind, 'cause me and Jack and Viva need some answers, and I don’t think enough folks have seen the thread. Thanks, Quasi PS: Jack! What, you don’t know about the **“Emu-Press”**?😃 ---

Several people in my online fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome support group swear by Emu oil. They say it really helped them with their pain. They don’t buy Super Blue Stuff, they buy pure Emu oil. I don’t remember how much they said it costs, but it’s probably cheaper than the Blue Stuff. If you want I can ask my group about it and let you know what they say. ---

My mother is another person who swears by emu oil… she has RSI and Carpell Tunnel (sp?) and has it massaged into her wrists to alleviate pain. All I can say is poor emus ☹ ---
