How an experiment is framed is crucial to the outcome, and is often the major factor in the results.
Using your methodology, who benefits from the sale of glucosamine?? Is it easy to produce, and cheap?? That may well account for the "studies" proving its lack of effectiveness. Why would the drug companies want people taking something cheap, when they could be buying something expensive?? Time to follow the money...

Got laid this morning but thanx for the suggestion.
With a double blind test, neither the researcher nor the subject knows who is in what group. That way, I can't treat you one way and the guy getting the real stuff another way or bias the test.
But could the snake oil peddlers also run their own test? Sure they can.
