Hello Gary
My name is Kim Blackman, my daughter tried your product at the end of last summer after a VERY difficult year in gymnastics. Earlier last year she had Sever’s disease, which was treated successfully with traditional methods including RICE as well as physical therapy. Not long after that her knees began to really hurt her. Her competition season was marked with many injuries due to her knees as well as many scratched events. As camp nurse last year for Camp Woodward in Pennsylvania, I had the opportunity to dispense Oscon to a young gymnast whose story was oh so familiar to me! When I asked her about the product she raved about it. At the end of the week I approached her Mom about it and she encouraged me to try it. Well, we did! Last September we started it, My daughter required two courses, but she did see improvement after only a week or two as was reported. After the two courses she was close to 100% better! She went back to full participation soon after and has been 100% better this year! Thank you so much for your product, without it, I truly believe she would have quit the sport! feel free to post my testimonial! I have recommended your product so many times to gymnasts as well as soccer players!
Sincerely
Gary, The first bottle worked like a charm. My daughter can finally run and jump without pain again.
Thanks so much
Thank you for your response. The recurrence is about 4 months after he finished the full month of 60 tablets. He has grown quite a bit in the past year and past few months. It took about 2 weeks for his knees to get better during the first bottle and close to 4 weeks for minimal pain when running. He had been in severe pain for months so we were very pleased with the results.
Just want you to know how thrilled my neighbor is with the results for her granddaughter….. She started the pills on a Thursday and the pain was relieved by Saturday afternoon in time for her Soccer Game ….. And she has had no pain since…. You have a satisfied customer, that is for sure, and my neighbor is a nurse and so is another daughter…. I am sure they will pass the word along some more….
Thanks for letting me know about your product so that I could pass the word on…. It works….. and my neighbor and her daughter and granddaughter are all pleased…
Love,
I recently ordered some Oscon tablets and a knee brace for my 15 year old son, who has been in constant pain for over 12-months now. He has been on the Oscon tablets for nearly 2 weeks now and has not had any pain during this time, whilst continuing to be very active in sport. Quite amazing really. The purpose of this email is to pass on our thanks (so far touch wood), and to ask whether or not this treatment needs to continue for any set period of time. We ordered one months supply of tablets initially. I await your reply. Thanks again.
Hi Gary,
My daughter is 14, she plays softball and basketball. This is her fourth year playing ASA softball. She has been the only catcher for 3 of those years. For the last couple of years, she has complained about her knee hurting. This year, we decided to take her to the doctor before the season got going. I know you have heard this before, but I couldn’t believe it, our doctor more or less told her to stop playing sports and anything that involved running, jumping etc. The doctor even told us what to do if her kneecap popped out of place. The doctor told us there wasn’t anything that could be done, no kneepads, and would eventually have to get surgery if my daughter kept up her sports. By this time, as you can imagine, my daughter was pretty scared. The doctor gave us no hope, just anti-inflammatory pills, which, by the way, didn’t help. We immediately came home and looked up Osgood-Schlatter disease, your page was the first one I looked at, and bought the Oscon and kneepad that night. You were so right, by the 10th day the swelling on her knee was gone. The swelling had been there so long, I thought that was just how her knee was. We ended up ordering another bottle, I should have bought 2 in the beginning, my daughter took 2 pills for two more weeks and now she just takes one. The pain in her knee is gone. This last weekend, her team played 3 games back to back; there was no pain at all. The kneepad was such a blessing. When she first got it, she noticed right away, how much protection it gave her when she caught. After practice and games, it’s so nice not to hear her say how much her knee hurts. I can’t tell you how much better she feels. Thank you so very much. It looks like she is going to have a pain free ball season. Yea!
I know this is a little late but this product was a miracle for my son. Within 5 days he went from limping after a game or practice to no pain in his heel at all. He has struggled with the pain for a long time and nothing else really helped.
Thanks again,
Good Morning Gary,
I am Tony the track coach in Tulare CA. I just wanted to tell you that your product is awesome. It has lessened the pain in my young athlete’s knees. She is running better and feeling better. She is still going to take more of your product but at least she is running better. Thank you for all your help, I will be sure to spread the word on your product throughout the Central Valley.
Dear Gary,
You were so right! My son’s pain was GONE in less than a week. After months of agony because we were told, “you just have to deal with it”, this is truly a blessing. Using the appliances during activity and the Oscon daily is keeping him pain free. Thank you so much for all of your help, your guidance, your patience as I asked question after question, and most of all, for giving my son his life back.
Hi Gary,
My son Tim began to take OSCON about 10 days ago. When I ordered OSCON my husband said “Here we go, you’ve fallen for another scam!” But I didn’t care because Tim, who is a keen runner and footballer, needed something. We are all amazed. The pain is gone, though as your email says the bump is still slightly tender. Thank you, I will be ordering another course to be certain of a good recovery.
Hi there Gary,
I purchased some Oscon for my son and he started using it on Feb.25. Within the first 4 days he felt relief on his left knee. At the time it was only the left knee that hurt. About two weeks his right knee started hurting and when I looked at it, it had the bump as well. Today the pain in the right knee is also down but it is little bit more sore than the left.
I wanted you to know that the product is working. Although I thought it was strange that the second knee started to hurt even though he had been taking the Oscon before it started. Anyways it is working. (Comment: It is likely that he injured the other knee at the tendon insertion point. It should also respond soon.) One more question. I bought two bottles, enough for 60 days. If there is no more pain, do we discontinue at that point? Is the product good for other types of muscular inflammation? (Yes to both questions.)
Thanks,
Hi Gary,
I have just ordered a 2nd tub, although he still seems to have pain and his lumps are very tender he is happily playing so much rugby they must be working! He’s a fast tall skinny 12 year old so it’s great to see him enjoying all his sport.
Thanks
Best wishes,
Dear Gary,
This will be my sons second treatment of Oscon. Last year he was suffering terribly with his legs, unable to walk after football matches, being a league player and all round sportsman I took him to the doctors here in England three times and was told that he would have to stop playing sport for at least three months. We ordered your tablets and a knee support and within 10 days his knees showed a remarkable improvement. He finished his tablets over three months ago and has been playing sport ever since including Rugby, Football 3x per week, swimming and Gymnastics. This weekend is the first time his legs have started to hurt again and straight away he asked for your tablets, he has had no side effects or problems in any way and I have recommended these tablets to everyone we know as this seems to be quite a problem with boys who do a lot of sport in the age group of 12 -15 and the only cure available here in England seems to be rest according to the doctors. Harry is looking forward to his delivery with great anticipation and the hope that these tablets will relieve his pain again without a break in his training. I would like to know if there is a maximum of times that he can take these tablets. (Answer: There is no maximum time or loss of efficacy after repetitive treatment with Oscon.)
Many thanks

Hello Gary
We have followed your advice about the capsules and mixed them with syrup. Katie has been taking the Oscon for six weeks. As she is small for her age I have given her one capsule per day, the results have been dramatic. She could not climb the stairs at home or put any weight onto the bad knee, she is now back in light training at her athletic club and walking without a limp. We do not have to use any ice following her training and merely ensure she is warmed up and that she regularly does her stretching exercises on her legs. We are looking forward to the coming outdoor season and have ordered another supply of Oscon. Still no joy with swallowing the capsules though, we will have to keep working on that!!!
Thank you again,

I am ordering 2 more bottles just to have in the event of a future flare-up. The product worked great for my son, and I really appreciate the time that you spent answering my questions before I purchased the first bottle.
Thanks again,
Dear Gary,
I must admit that I was a bit hesitant to try Oscon but I was at my wits end with my son’s heel pain. He has been plagued with Severs on and off for 3 years now (12 year old soccer player). One week of Oscon, his pain was substantially subsided, by 2 1/2 weeks, his pain is totally gone. He has been playing futsal on a cement court in addition to outdoor soccer and has no pain at all! I am now placing my order for his second bottle along with orders for 2 other teammates.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hello!
My daughter- Kasey- has a terrible case of Osgood-Schlatter. We thought she would not be able to play basketball at all this season. After 8 weeks of Oscon and wearing your knee braces she was able to take the court again. She continues to ice them afterwards and she has to take 2 aspirin before she plays but with all this she can play almost pain free. It really is remarkable because 3 months ago she could hardly walk. Her team is happy to have her back because she is extremely fast and leads them in steals. This will not be the last order you receive from Traverse City! I have already told 2 parents about you.
Thank you
This product worked wonderfully taking a full week for noticable improvement but less than the 30 days for major improvement. We were delighted. My son has pain laterally now and still very painful bumps. It has been 3 months since he completed the first supply. We are anxious for the second trial and the results.
Gary,
This is my second order of Oscon from your company. Along with icing and physical therapy your product has greatly reduced the pain caused by Osgood-Schlatter in my 12 year old son. I definitely believe your product is helping.
Thank you,
Gary,
Thank you for getting the Oscon to me so quickly. I’m writing to let you know that I received the shipment on Monday 12/3/07. My son had a basketball game that night and I had no expectation that his knees would feel better after one dose, BUT THEY DID! He has been taking at least 200 mg of Ibuprofen and sometimes 600mg almost every day for the past month. He took some Ibuprofen before his game Monday night but only because I told him the Oscon would not have time to help him. I even wondered if the pain relief was due to the Placebo effect but decided it wasn’t because he has been taking Ibuprofen without much relief. Thank you so much for putting this product together. My son can concentrate on playing instead of trying to avoid pain.
Thank you for your excellent service. I have a question but first – my 12 year old daughter first showed signs of Osgood Schlatters in October/November last year when she complained of pain in her right knee and her performance was quite poor. In June she complained that she had pain in her left knee although the right knee wasn’t quite as bad as it had been. She has been taking Oscon for over 2 weeks now. She is still complaining of pain however her performance has bounced back to where it was 12 months ago. Do you recommend that she take it for another month? She has been selected in a state team to compete in New Zealand in January and I don’t want her going backward again especially since she is still experiencing some pain. I would really appreciate some advice.
Many thanks
Gary,
I talked to you a couple of times a few weeks ago about my son Alex Vitale, we live in NJ and he plays hockey. He has Osgood in knee and 8 months ago got it in his hip also and that shut him down. When I originally ordered 1 bottle you sent me 2. I don’t know if that was a mistake or if after you spoke to me you thought he may need 2 and sent 2? After the first order I did order 2 more bottles and 2 braces for him. Thank You if you sent that thinking he may need a second. If you made a mistake feel free to put it on my credit card. Alex has been taking so far for 2 weeks today and I wasn’t sure if he would see affect for a while because he has had it for 3 years in his knee. Last night after I picked him up after practice it’s the first time he said he didn’t feel any pain anywhere in three years. 2 weeks ago we were not even going to let him try out for HS because he could barely walk and had not been able to skate for 8 months. But Alex talked us into it and he skated through the pain of try outs 2 weeks ago and has made the HS Varsity team as a freshman. He is thrilled that he could still pull that off after not having skated for 8 months. He is now determined to show up all the seniors when he feels 100 %.( I have no doubt he will too) I hope his progress continues. But when I originally spoke to you and said “If this works I would be your biggest voice in NJ for this product”. I was wondering if you could send me some of your brochures so I could put in hockey rinks all over NJ? I also spoke to Alex’s physical therapist, who as a kid suffered also. She made it to Olympic training squad for gymnastics and then got osgood in her hip also, she would love to able to suggest your product. I already gave her one of the brochures you sent me and she may be calling. It would have been great if 6 months ago when I took Alex to her, if she could of suggested your product. I saw what my son went through and if you don’t have a kid with it you just don’t understand how frustrating it can be as a parent and a kid going through it. Please let me help make sure no other kid suffers as long as mine did. If you could send me some brochures that would be great. I still will be looking at every kid I see in a hockey rink or soccer field with a knee brace on and approach them about your product…..
I hope I continue to see improvement!
Thank You,
Gary,
I would just like to say that it was really wonderful to speak with you personally on the phone. You were very knowledgeable and reassuring in what I needed to do. My son Mitchell began taking the Oscon after almost a year of knee pain. He could barely get up the stairs without holding onto the railing and pulling himself up! He loves sports and with football approaching and basketball soon after that I knew I needed to do something. He is not a good pill taker but he does it (or squeezes out what’s inside and takes it with applesauce). After the 6th day of taking Oscon he walked upstairs to go to bed and stopped at the top, turned around and looked at my husband and myself and said “That didn’t hurt”. I asked him, “What?” He repeated to me, “That didn’t hurt…going up the steps”. He looked amazed and I almost cried! Even he couldn’t believe that it would work that fast. We finished the first bottle and it has been a month since he’s taken any pills. The leg pain has returned, though not as severe. For that reason I have just ordered a second bottle. I will continue to order as many as it takes to keep him pain-free, or at least pain-reduced. Feel free to use this as a testimonial because it is really working for him and if anyone else can benefit by my words saying so, then use them. I am always willing to offer your information to anyone who asks and have given your address to one of my friends whose child is suffering with the same prognosis. Once again, thank you for developing such a wonderful product for young boys and girls!
Sincerely,
Gary,
Our son, Samuel, age 13, has responded very positively to the OSCON with the noticeable pain reduction within days and almost total improvement at about two weeks. When he presses on the ‘bump’ he can still feel it, but does not describe it as pain. Coincidently, he started taking the tablets the same week as the beginning of 8th grade basketball, so his activity level has been rigorous. How many additional months would you recommend he take the OSCON? I only wish I had done this sooner. Thanks.

Hi Gary,
My son is pain free. He took his 1st capsule Friday night. He played his 1st bball tourney Sunday am. His speed is back, he is jumping high for rebounds etc and no-longer the last on the court. His pain rating is zero, (o-10). He doesn’t want to wear his knee brace. I will call you today to talk to him that the brace goes hand in hand with Oscon. Follow-up: His knee pain started 5/07. But, he is pain free now Gary, On Sunday after his 1st game, his agility and speed totally dominated his team mates, his coach put him as the point guard for the remaining 3 games. His coach told me on our break that Gosh!, I didn’t see this speed in Brodie before. I didn’t say a word until I spoke to Brodie why he was running soooo fast and not hopping and dragging? He said “Mom, my knee doesn’t hurt anymore.” This AM he rated his pain at 2(0-10) and it most likely is because he didn’t wear the brace. My friends have had their pain for over a year.
Thanks a lot
Cheers,
Hi Gary,
Well, Kenny is in the final 2 days of basketball tryouts and his knees are feeling so much better. He almost didn’t tryout because his knees were hurting so badly, and he is passionate about basketball. He got a serious case of pneumonia and is still getting his strength back but he is able to get in the defensive position and can push without sharp pain. Thank you so much for the 2nd round. We also found that taking it in the middle of the meal, as you suggested, helped his stomach handle it much better. If it starts flaring again, is another round the best route?
My daughter has been taking the Oscon for a little over two weeks and I am amazed at the results. Before taking Oscon she could hardly walk some days and the pain was intolerable. She practices every day and plays games at least once a week and it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to play effectively. She no longer limps off of the soccer field in tears at the end of practices or games. Motrin and ice packs are not necessary and she couldn’t be happier. There is still a bit of residual pain, but I am confident that this will fade in the next two weeks. Do you think that she should continue with a second month and if so should she reduce the dosage?
Thank you for your product–it has made a tremendous difference in my daughter’s life.
We cannot thank you enough for Oscon. Our son was diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter about month ago. He has been taking Oscon now for two weeks and his pain is totally gone. I will recommend this product to anyone that I come in contact with that suffers from this disease. Thank you so very much.
Gary,
I am the mother of a 12 year old daughter who is very active in soccer, basketball, volleyball, and track. She is 5’7″ tall and still growing. She has suffered with Osgood-Schlatter knee pain for the last 6 months. I came across your website for Oscon about 3 weeks ago and promptly ordered. I am writing to let you know that she has now been taking the Oscon for 2 weeks and we are seeing very good results! She still does have knee pain but it doesn’t hurt as much and when she is at soccer practice her knee doesn’t start bothering her until about 1/2 way through practice where as before, the moment that she began to run or be active, her knee would begin to hurt. We are thrilled at the results we are seeing and are hoping that, as she continues to take Oscon, her knee pain will completely disappear! I was wondering if Oscon would work on the pain caused by heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. What is your take on that?
Thanks again for Oscon! I will keep you posted on her progress.
Sincerely,
Dear Gary
Thanks for your reply. Oscon is nothing short of a miracle. My daughter felt an improvement on day one of taking it. On day 2 she was pain free. My husband can’t believe it. In fact, when I had first showed him the Oscon website he suggested that he could sit down and write all those testimonies in an afternoon. Although I did find one discrepancy in the testimonies, I felt that they had the ring of truth about them and I had no doubt that Oscon would work. I am very glad that you included all those testimonies on your website because I would not have bought the Oscon (and my daughter wouldn’t be where she is now) if I hadn’t read all the testimonies. When I first saw Oscon, I immediately discounted it as something to try. But as I read through the testimonies, I realised that here was something that could work. It is as amazing as an antibiotic – the patient is immediately better when they take it!! (Note: Recovery times do vary. It usually takes more than one day) Oscon has saved our family from months of stress and misery. My daughter’s Olympic dreams may have ended. There is no way that my daughter could have coped with the workload expected by the High Performance coaches with the amount of pain she was in. She would have been absolutely devastated.
Thank you for your truly amazing, remarkable product.
Hello. I read your testimonial on-line. Is this stuff for real? I too have a daughter, 13 years old, level 7 gymnast with OSD. I’d love to speak with you – phone or email.
Thanks,
Karen
Karen~
Yes, it is for real. I whole-heartedly recommend this supplement for the treatment of Osgood Schlatter’s—without any hesitation……truly. My husband is a chiropractor and we do not take any medications in our household. None of my children have ever had an antibiotic–except once for pinkeye–nor do they use any type of medication, as we treat everything with natural means only. We were extremely hesitant to use this product at first, but I also had my husband research the ingredients thoroughly. In his research, he found that the quantities of the selenium (derived from Brewer’s Yeast—a very safe source) and Vitamin E were safe for a child. These are the main ingredients; the others are gelatin, glycerin, carob extract, water, silica and titanium dioxide. The standard treatment is rest away from the activity. An alternative treatment is with over-the-counter anti-inflammatory pills such as Advil or Motrin (ibuprofin products). My daughter did not want to do the first; my husband and I were opposed to the latter. Our last resort was to try Oscon…I wish we had done so sooner! Taylor was affected for nine long months before we ever tried Oscon, and she had it in both knees. As a competitive gymnast practicing 16 hours every week–year round–not being able to tumble or run was holding her back. She was in excruciating pain after every practice. We would apply heat for 30 minutes before every practice and ice for 30 minutes after every practice and use a cream called BioFreeze (rub-on icing agent) to attempt to numb the area during practices. None of this really helped. After contacting the developer of Oscon numerous times for questions and reassurance, we finally tried it. Our results were amazing. We did have to use two full bottles for COMPLETE resolution of ALL pain and swelling when she was active in her sport, but we did see early results after only two weeks. The progress just built onward from there. As a precaution, I ordered a third bottle when she was half-way through her 2nd bottle. I figured we’d just use it for “maintenance” if the pain returned. We’ve used about half of it, and it still sits in the back of our vitamin cabinet. A few years later, she still has the tell-tale bumps left on both knees from having such a severe case of Osgood’s in both knees, but there is no pain, and she is able to do gymnastics like she never even had it. Again. I recommend it without hesitation. I have a testimonial on the Oscon website because I truly believe in this product based on how it helped to heal my daughter and get her back to her sport in no time. Please know that I get nothing from the company in return. I receive an e-mail or phone call from a parent about every two weeks, and I tell each of them to please try the product, as I am sure it will help their child just like it helped mine. If you’d like to phone me, I’d be more than happy to speak with you about the product further. I do understand your hesitation and skepticism, as I was once in that same spot. After research and learning that this is a very safe vitamin supplement and not a drug, I felt we had nothing to lose in trying it. Again….I really wish we had done so sooner. Best wishes………try it. Your child will appreciate it greatly, and you will probably be done with this issue in no time! Let me know of your results! FYI……Taylor is now just shy of 14 with NO knee issues. She was our AA state champion in level 7 two years in a row. Last year, she was our AA Level 8 champion and placed 18th AA at regionals. She’ll be doing Level 8 again this year with some harder skills in her routines. Other than her bumps on both knees, there is no sign of Osgood’s.
Best wishes!
My son took Oscon 2 years ago for Osgood-Schlatter and it seemed a miracle! Literally 2 weeks into it and he was pain free. Playing football, basketball and wrestling was extremely painful before. My daughter who plays soccer and played fastpitch then took Oscon when she was diagnosed with it. She had the same results. We are ordering it again because although my son just turned 18 he has been experiencing extreme pain in the side of his knee. The tenderness and weakness seems the same and we were told that it is almost the same as osgood, only it is in the tendon that attaches the thigh muscle through the knee on the side. . .the doctor said he is probably going to hit another growth spurt. He is playing football right now and I am hoping we have the same results this time. I would really like to have multiple brochures on oscon. It is amazing to me how well it works and how little people are aware of it – I would like to help spread the word!!!
Hoping for a second-third miracle!
Thank you so much Gary. I was really skeptical yet desperate to find something for our daughter’s severs. She was limping almost every day. She had hurt it fencing almost 3 months ago and by August, the Dr. had told us she had Sever’s. She was in a lot of pain and resting didn’t seem to help. She’s been taking it for the last 2 1/2 weeks along with wearing the heel cups and the symptoms have definitely been alleviated; she hasn’t been limping, and on a whole, a much happier girl. (Now all I need is to have you make a chewable form! She’s not the best with swallowing vitamins. 🙂 (Comment: The liquid contents in Oscon may be mixed with foods!)
Thank you once again!
From a very appreciative family,
Gary
Thanks for the advice and tablets, they worked an absolute miracle. Troy went from a kid hardly able to walk 4 weeks ago because of the pain around his knee to being able to enjoy his athletics carnival held at school today. He was a little sore in the legs after the exercise so I gave a nice massage before bed. I am ordering another bottle for him to take as there is only a few left and the leg still has a little pain.
Once again thanks
Hi Gary
Our son was diagnosed with Severs in the middle of the Basketball and Football season last year, he was 12 at the time and incredibly active. Aside from that he had had a huge growth spurt and was growing before our eyes. I found out about Oscon on the internet and decided to give it a go. Our son took the supplement and combined with massage and stretching noticed a reduction in pain in about 2 weeks. He is not someone who would miss out on his sport so he continued to play just as hard as before, and completed the season without missing a beat. This year he is having knee pain and has been told it could be Osgood-Schlatters, so we thought we would get on to the Oscon straight away. He has Grand Finals in both Football and Basketball coming up over the next few weeks and is in the middle of Athletics training. I am hoping the Oscon will be just as successful in treating the knee pain as it was his heel pain. Will keep you posted.
Thank You
Gary,
The Oscon has really helped my son. He actually can play soccer again without tears and limping! The only concern I have is that when he stopped taking the Oscon (after the recommended two bottles) the pain came back in about a month. I ordered more, which is fine with me. I just want to make sure that it is ok to keep him taking the Oscon if he has exceeded the two bottle recommendation. (Answer: it is perfectly safe for extended periods of time.)
Thanks,
I must admit that I was a little apprehensive about the authenticity of the claims boasted on the website, but as everyone stated IT WORKS GREAT! My daughter is a gymnast and was in pain for months before we had been able to find your product. Only a few days and the pain was gone, About two weeks later it came back with only about 1/2 of the intensity, so we ordered another order and “piggybacked” a little Motrin. By the end of the second order we are hoping that this will be all in the past. So far so good!! Thanks for your great product.
I just wanted to tell you about Jake’s knee’s after football practice today – NO PAIN! My son said Thank You! I knew it would work but not that fast! He used the Oscon the day we received it on Saturday and used the knee braces today. He had friends stay all weekend and played the whole time so I wasn’t sure how today’s practice would go. Anyway, thanks again!
Gary
Thanks, this is a second order following advice given by you over Xmas period. My son had a bit of a relapse after a period of inactivity and had to go back on full dose. He is great again now but letting him stay on full dose for a while, more for his mental state of mind than for his legs. Will drop him down to 1 a day in near future.
Thanks for the advice and great product.
We have completed one bottle twice a day and it caused a great improvement for my son. Since this is the second bottle we will proceed with 1 per day unless his symptoms recur, in which case we will try another course of twice daily. The bump is still painful to the touch, but he hasn’t had to curtail his activity level which is important because sports are very important to him. What a relief to find something that helps. I was uncomfortable with him taking Advil every day and still suffering.
Dear Gary,
We ordered these straps and the oscon for our daughter 6 month ago and she has seen a major improvement. We ran a 10 mile run yesterday on a steep Ski mountain and I couldn’t make it down due to some meniscus pain in my right knee. She borrowed me one of her straps and I didn’t feel another pain or twinge and made it down the mountain beautifully. I am sold on your straps. I ordered one right away last night. These should be promoted for other Knee problems too. They work so great. Thank you so much for helping me and my daughter to enjoy the pleasures of running and not the pain.
Yours sincerely
Hi- I ordered your product last fall for my daughter, a gymnast, who had severe Sever’s disease. She had not been able to tumble for 4 months. Three days after beginning to take Oscon, she began to feel better. Within a week, she was back to almost normal activity. We had thought that she would miss her whole competitive season, but she went on to Level 9 State and Regional Championships. It was amazing how well this product worked. I have recommended it to three other girls in the gym who have had problems with Sever’s or Osgood Slatters and it has worked for them as well. Plus the podiatrist my daughter was seeing for her Sever’s has recommended it to several patients all with great results. Please feel free to post this on your web-site as a testimonial. I feel like more gymnasts need to know about your product since Sever’s and Osgood Slatter’s is so common among them. Our Booster Club, a non-profit organization, hosts three gymnastics meets a year, with about 50-75 gymnasts at each meet. We have programs that we sell at the meets. I was wondering if you would be interested in running an ad in our program. Ad prices range from $25 for a business card size to $200 for a full page (8.5 X 11).
Thanks for such a great product.
Well have to say i ordered the oscon and strap thinking it couldnt possible work that well and that quick… my son developed osgood schlatters 3 months ago, he does martial arts jujijsu, basketball and generally if he not on a mates trampoline hes up a tree in the woods. he was devastated with his os diagnosis so was i. as a nurse i was under the same impression as everybody else r.i.c.e mmmeee that works to ease the pain a little but as soon as he started walking around it was back and the knee was “giving way” as ollie put it. i went on the os sites cos as a nurse i just needed to know more, and on one of the english sites someone had suggested trying oscon they just put magic nest to the name, so i investigated further….. how glad we are that that man put magic, it really works, my son has had 1 week so far of 2 a day and he went on the trampoline for the first time in months yesterday, no pain no giving and no complaining when he woke this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the strap is wonderful, he has now gone back on the mat and is able to knee on the mat and continue his training. hes a new kid, he was so down and so fed up……. thankyou for giving my son his life back… anyone with a child with osgood schlatters will know what i mean….. i will recommend your product to anyone i come into contact with both in my role as a nurse and social life. it really does work….
Gary: This is the second shipment of Oscon that we have ordered from you, and I thought you might appreciate some feedback from us on our daughters’ progress. Her Osgood-Schlatter pain has significantly been reduced since beginning of Oscon. She has less pain after basketball exercise, and ball handling and jumping drills seem to be easier for her to tolerate for longer length of time….in tournaments, her stamina seems to be greater because of less stress from reduced pain. We believe that the Oscon treatment, while not completely removing her symptoms, has certainly shown itself to be worthwhile as an ongoing treatment for her. She is a 13 year old female, 5’8″ and 116 pounds. We will probably be ongoing customers as long as the Osgood-Schlatter symptoms are present.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this product, it worked exactly as advertised and even faster for my daughter, within 1 week she was telling me her heel pain was gone! So much so that she participated in a 2 day weekend tumble camp and then the very next day participated in a week long soccer camp, ALL without any heel pain that plagued her all thru her winter cheer/tumble season and spring soccer season. It was really like magic, and we are so grateful and thankful. I have already passed the word to others who suffer from OS and severs. Just wanted you to know you have another satisfied little 7 year old tumbler and soccer player (and mom).
Sincerely,
My son is 13 and started taking the Oscon about 2 weeks ago, since then he started running again, sprints training for football and has had no heel pain. I am very pleased as his heels have been hurting for over a year, nothing else we have tried had given him any relief.
Thanks.
Hi Gary,
I would like to tell you how Oscon has worked. I bought it for my daughter’s Osgood-Schlatter’s (16 y/o soccer player with young bone age) She was improved but was only on it a few days before she had soccer workouts 3 days in a row for 2 weeks. She was able to play with pain but complained much less. Now she’s got a break and will use it a week or two before starting her fall conditioning. NOW, I used it s/p total knee replacement. I have had swelling since the surgery since I am unable to use NSAIDS. My only help is ice & elevation. My surgery was 11/29/06 and I went back to work as an RN after 3 months, still with lots of swelling. I started the Oscon June 1st and within about 7-8 days had such a dramatic change for the better. I’m probably 80% LESS swollen consistently, walk much better and have iced less without even thinking about it. THANK YOU for this product. I will share this with my Surgeon so he can offer this to patients who cannot use NSAIDS.
Sincerely,
Gary,
Amazing, after few weeks taking Oscon, the pain in my son’s knee is completely gone! He started his second bottle, can he stop taking it now? Many many thanks, from a broken kid he can smile again and does the thing he loves most: Soccer.
Gary, thanks!
Mr. Nelson,
Thank you for the timely shipment of the Oscon. My daughter was diagnosed with Severs Disease over a week ago and began taking Oscon the very day it came in the mail. She is 10 years old and is in her third year of competitive AAU basketball and also plays fast pitch softball. After one day of taking the Oscon, my daughter was able to play a complete basketball game without pain and discomfort. (NOTE: This is an unusually fast response. Five days is more typical.) Three days prior, she could not finish a practice without hurting and having to sit down. I am truly grateful for Oscon as is my daughter’s coach.
Thank you.
Dear Gary
I just wanted to give you some feedback about our recent purchase of Oscon. I purchased it for my 12 year old daughter who had been diagnosed with Osgood Schlatters Disease. She had been training extremely hard and was involved in quite a lot or representative sport. When we had her diagnosed she was in a great deal of pain and unable to participate in any sport as she could no longer run, only severely limp. I must admit I was extremely skeptical about purchasing Oscon but decided to give it a go. I can tell you I am so impressed with your product that I have told most people that I would strongly recommend it. My Daughter Tayla has taken the full month supply of Oscon and we first noticed a difference after about 5 days, every day thereafter was a slight improvement. After approx 2 weeks, all signs of Tayla’s limp had disappeared and she is now back to playing all the representative sport she had been previously playing – less the limp. We would say she has made a full recovery. Your product really works and I would be very happy to tell anyone how good Oscon is.
Many Thanks,
My 14 year old son finished his 30 day treatment this past Sunday, May 20, 2007. It is such a relief to watch him run normally again after months of hobbling around. I’ve told many people about your product and will continue to do so. Only parents of kids with problems like mine has experienced can fully appreciate the significance of your product. I thank you for what you’ve done for my son.
Hi Gary,
Our son is able to play hockey again after using Oscon. He took one tab twice daily with food for the first month and he purposely stayed off the ice during this month of treatment. We are comparing this to the RICE approach that we first tried and experienced zero success—–James ended up on crutches after an hour of skating following the 3 weeks of RICE only. Hockey tryouts were held 2 consecutive days this weekend with one more night to go this week so the Oscon was a real lifesaver for him. He wears the 3″ OS strap faithfully every day; takes the Oscon as directed; uses the elevator instead of the stairs at school; has revised gym class so the knee would not be stressed. We are so thankful to have found Oscon. I asked the knee specialist if he had ever heard of Oscon and he said “Nothing works——what is it?” How come he does not know about it? We plan on switching James to one tablet per day for 30 days once the first bottle is empty. What should we do after that?
Thank you!!
Hi Gary, I wrote to you back in January I think regarding my daughters ankle pain etc., and what I thought was Severs. She had just won the State Championship, turned 9 and all this pain started when she tumbled. You were great emailing me and offering to talk to me personally on the phone. We also made a visit to our doctor, who is an MD but first and foremost, our homeopathic doctor. He has been my daughter’s doc since she was born. He now has the entire team Seattle Seahawks as sports patients, as well as some of the AZ Cardinals and AZ Diamondbacks. My point being he is familiar with sports injuries. I told him I had ordered your product and he said that was great, he was familiar with it and said it was a good product. It worked great for my little one, within in 10 days the pain was gone, and after a month she was totally tumbling again. Her feet grew 2 sizes too; they haven’t grown in 2 years. There are several other girls at the gym that suffer from Severs, and the parents just give them Advil or some other painkiller. NOT NECESSARY! I am so thrilled with what your product did for my daughter, as is she.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Hi Gary:
I wanted to first thank you for your great product which has helped my son tremendously. From almost not being able to walk, missing school and adding pounds, he is getting back to himself; being active, happy and a great soccer player. It took 2 month to get back to this point and he’s almost there. We’re so grateful since I know for a fact he wouldn’t have been where he’s at now if it hadn’t been for the Oscon pills. My question to you is, how long can/should he keep taking the pills. Although his bump on his knee is almost gone, I feel he’s not quite there yet. Will the condition return once he stops? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again,
Gary:
Thank you for your note. This is my second order of the OSCON. I did not realize however, that the dosage was 2x/day for the 1st bottle. My daughter is 10-years old and is a competitive all-star cheerleader. Her symptoms developed literally overnight. She was in so much pain it was difficult to walk, much less tumble. I just happened to come across your website in desperation, looking for information on this dilapidating disease. It was the week before a major cheer competition, so I decided to give OSCON a try. Literally within the first couple of days the pain was gone after taking only one OSCON per day. She was able to complete each of her tumbling passes with ease and no pain after. We have continued the 1x/day dosage for the last 30 days. She is MUCH better and continues to tumble with no pain. Recently she was assigned to a very high-level squad where she must do a great deal of standing tumbling and must do fulls and double fulls as part of her running tumbling passes. Her knee has been sore after the first couple of practices. More so than in the past. Should I increase her dosage to 2x/day, even though she’s been on only 1x/day for the last month? I am so thankful that I found your product. My daughter was faced with the decision of leaving cheer altogether and now can jump and tumble like never before!
Thank you!!
Hi Gary!
I just wanted to thank you and let you know what great success we had with Oscon! My son is 11 years old and was having severe pain in his knee. We saw an Orthopedist who ordered an MRI, but found nothing. They wanted us to see a Rheumatologist, but when I read the list of symptoms of Osgood-Schlatters disease, I was sure that is what he had. I asked the Orthopedist about this, he said that my son did not have it… I was so sure that is what he had that I gave him the Oscon anyway. It was just as you said… in about a week all symptoms have disappeared… after the full 30 days he is 100% No knee pain at all.
Thanks again!!
Hello Gary,
All I can say is THANK GOD FOR OSCON!!! My daughter is an 11 year old gymnast competing Level 7, and this being her second occurrence of severs. Many of the Ortho doctors I have taken her to do not understand that during season “there are no breaks”. She was in a tremendous amount of pain. Her coaches telling her to suck it up and me as a mother seeing her child in all that pain was killing both of us. So after icing after meets and practices and still reducing practice time it was still not enough. I decided to do my own Internet research and I am so pleased to have found your product. I believe it was about 2 weeks that the pain did start to reduce. She still had the pain so I bought an ankle sleeve with a heel insert sewed into it (it is call a Cheetah, purchased from the 10.0 catalog a gymnast catalog). That helped with the pounding to the heel during practice. I also purchased heel inserts call Heel Seats. At day 30 after practice she has stated she has no more pain. We will continue to do the 2/day treatment for another month to make sure she will be fine for her State Competition. I have already recommended the product to another gymnast at the gym and she is on her first week of taking the product. I think it may take her a little longer to feel the benefits, but I keep telling them to be patient it will come! I forwarded your pamphlet to our coach for other gymnast that may require the benefits of Oscon.
Thank you;
Mr. Nelson,
I apologize for not recognizing the purchase. This purchase was money well spent for our son’s comfort. We can’t thank you enough! I’ve already called to reverse the dispute, so sorry for the inconvenience. It was nice speaking with you. All of your hard work has helped so many children, it must be very gratifying! Thank you for your wonderful supplement. As I told you on the phone, our son’s pain was keeping him from P.E. and caused him great pain on the downhill side of a 2000 elevation hike, where he had to use two hiking sticks and was leaning so heavily on them that he had blisters on both hands! After your supplement he has resumed P. E. and looks forward to trying out for the track team. He also recently completed a 10 mile hike over rugged terrain with his Boy Scout troop, pain free! We will happily recommend this supplement to anyone we encounter with this type of affliction.
Gratefully,
Hi Mr. Nelson,
This will be our second bottle of the vitamins. I spoke with you a month or so ago about my son, who has osgood-schlatter and ischial apophysitis. The knee strap really helps his knee and the vitamins have reduced his pain tremendously. I would not have believed the vitamins would have helped, but they have, and I am pretty skeptical when it comes to stuff like this but my son was having so much pain and no relief with any treatments from physical therapy, etc. I decided to try the Oscon. Everyone is happy–especially him. He’s 15, 6’4″ and a starter on the JV basketball team. Our physical therapist has asked for info on them so I am giving him the web address.
Thanks again,
Gary,
Thank you for the Oscon. Yes, I would like to give you some feedback and ask information of you. I ordered this for my 13 yr. old son who is involved in comp. soccer. I am a sports medicine physician and I cover our local high school athletes as well as many patients involved in many kinds of sports. I also have 7 sons involved in sports, 4 of whom are still at risk for these types of problems (O.S., apophysitis, etc.) and I treat many young athletes for these diagnoses. As you know, this is very common and can be sidelining for them. I believe Oscon helped my son a lot, though admittedly I was treating with the standard things as well, but I am sure his recovery was shortened and improvement considerable after we started Oscon. He had been dealing with it for 2-3 mos. without complete relief and now is doing much better. I would then like to ask if you will send me some information about Oscon and can I purchase some in larger numbers of 1 month supplies at a reduced price for my patients. I would also like some more to have for my sons and/or for recurrence.
Thank You,
P.S. If you need a “distributor” or if I can be of any assistance I would like to participate. I was at the frustration point with my son as soccer is his passion and I believe that Oscon was the turning point to allow him to play again.
Hello Gary
My name is Kim Blackman, my daughter tried your product at the end of last summer after a VERY difficult year in gymnastics. Earlier last year she had Sever’s disease, which was treated successfully with traditional methods including RICE as well as physical therapy. Not long after that her knees began to really hurt her. Her competition season was marked with many injuries due to her knees as well as many scratched events. As camp nurse last year for Camp Woodward in Pennsylvania, I had the opportunity to dispense Oscon to a young gymnast whose story was oh so familiar to me! When I asked her about the product she raved about it. At the end of the week I approached her Mom about it and she encouraged me to try it. Well, we did! Last September we started it, My daughter required two courses, but she did see improvement after only a week or two as was reported. After the two courses she was close to 100% better! She went back to full participation soon after and has been 100% better this year! Thank you so much for your product, without it, I truly believe she would have quit the sport! feel free to post my testimonial! I have recommended your product so many times to gymnasts as well as soccer players!
Sincerely
Gary, The first bottle worked like a charm. My daughter can finally run and jump without pain again.
Thanks so much
Thank you for your response. The recurrence is about 4 months after he finished the full month of 60 tablets. He has grown quite a bit in the past year and past few months. It took about 2 weeks for his knees to get better during the first bottle and close to 4 weeks for minimal pain when running. He had been in severe pain for months so we were very pleased with the results.
Well, I have to tell you that I was skeptical. I ordered a bottle of Oscon out of sheer desperation. My daughter had Sever’s. The pain had been getting worse over the entire competitive season. Our orthopedic was insisting that I pull her out of gymnastics for 8 weeks. Her gym coaches were insisting that this was a bad idea. She started Oscon 1 week before the state championships. By the end of the week, all of her pain was gone. She competed with flying colors and no pain. It has been four weeks now and still no sign of Sever’s. The most interesting part of it all is that she is eight years old and had never taken any pill. The first three days, she had trouble getting them down. But after she realized it was working, she took the initiative and began reminding me she needed her “heel pill”. I’m so glad we found this product!
Thanks!
Gary,
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that my daughter’s knees are much better! She never stopped going to her gymnastics practices, and she said that the new straps definitely helped immediately. Also, just as you said, after about 5 days her knees started to feel better. Now, after almost 3 weeks, they barely hurt, and she is back to doing her regular strenuous tumbling, etc. She has been letting other girls use her knee straps, and I have given your web site to several moms — a few said that they were going to contact you. I will continue to spread the word…… after months of pain, with no relief, we are believers!
Thanks again for returning my call, especially on a Saturday, and for all of your help!
Gary,
I wish to give you some feedback. My 13 yo daughter had Severs and plays at an elite level of tennis and predominantly on hard courts. She could not train for extended periods without severe pain. She has been taking the Oscon for a month now and the pain is gone. We have also reduced the number of hours on court, ice the heel after play and she has been working regularly with a physio. We are all very pleased with the outcome. From your notes below, it seems that we could reduce the dosage to 1 per day. I look forward to your further advice.
Regards,
Thank you for this product. Our son has benefited tremendously from it. He suffers from Osgood-Schlatter, and is now playing high school basketball. Last season, he could barely make it up and down the court. He’s now captain. Any interaction with antibiotics (e.g. Keflex)? He’s also been hit with strep throat.
Thank you.
Dear Gary,
My 13 year old boy is extremely talented in track & field, and has been frustrated with not been able to compete this season due to Severs. After three weeks of taking Oscon, and seeing a physiotherapist twice a week, he is almost pain free. He has been able to run sprints and hurdles, with hardly any pain, and has just been selected in the State team, to compete in the Nationals in hurdles. I am so glad I came across your website, and in desperation, decided to give Oscon a go. My son is just about to finish his first bottle, and I have ordered another one, so he will be able to compete in the Nationals without any problems. I just wanted to say thank you very much, and you may use this on your website.
Kind Regards,
Dear Gary,
I purchased your product Oscon, in September, for treatment of my 12yr old son’s Severs Disease & Osgood Schlatters. I am pleased to report that his symptoms decreased significantly after just 1 bottle of Oscon, (2 tablets daily). I have now reduced the dosage to 1 tablet daily for the remaining contents. Oscon has enabled him to return to all his sporting activities, painfree! I would recommend Oscon to any parent who has a child suffering these conditions; it has certainly worked for us!
Thank you
Kind regards,
I have used Oscon for years off and on for my now 14-year-old, soccer-playing son (I just ordered two more bottles), and have recommended it to others. Without exception, we all have had excellent results. My son also has used your braces with similar success. I’m wondering if Oscon works generically on inflammation, such as my shoulder bursitis, or if it possibly could be site specific to the knee. I can’t imagine how it could be site specific, since it must work systemically, but I’m curious nonetheless. Thanks for your excellent products.
Callum is 13, a runner (4m47secs 1500m under 12) but most passionate about football (soccer). He excells at most sports at school although small for his age. He began with OS in January and within a week could hardly walk. We visited a private Physiotherapist who failed to diagnose OS despite me suggesting it. We spent a lot of money in a short space of time whilst he hooked him up to microwave and infra red machines. The NHS were not particularly concerned and glibly told us he would grow out of it by the time he was sixteen and told him to rest until then. I bought OSCON but stalled for a while because I didn’t want to trust the word of someone selling something on a website. I finally convinced myself they were okay after speaking to a chemist who represents the royal Pharmaceutical society. He told me they would not harm him even though the rec. daily dose of vitamin e was way under what is in OSCON. Meanwhile doctors were non committal hiding behind the fact there are no clinical studies. My searches on the net led me to attempt to read some university papers but as I am not a chemist they proved to be very hard work. For those who are sceptical or cautious about taking OSCON they will want to know from independent sources if there will be side effects and the biggest sceptics will not be satisfied by testimonials that could have been written by anyone. I can only say that I am glad that I eventually took the plunge because pain subsided within ten days full mobility did not return until just after three weeks but because of my dallying it was by then March. At the same time we did get him to see a Physiotherapist who gave him some stretches to do as his quadriceps were very tight. During May he had a very successful Football trip to France in an international competition near Paris, playing and scoring against boys who were 1992 birthday year, he was born in 1993. There was no sign of any knee problems. He won three 800 metre races against schools from nine towns. I was confident the problem was resolved. However in late September he pulled up with knee pain in a game of football and has been resting since. We ordered more OSCON and are three weeks into this present batch. He walks well but says it hurts to run on at present so I have just ordered another batch of 60. There is a huge need for your product because for teenagers like my son sitting still is almost impossible. I always check his school books and there is a marked deterioration in his work since he has been out of sport.
Thanks for coming up with OSCON. I still think there is further work to be done, such as clinical trials convincing doctors to spend some of their budget on OS and understanding the role of physios/stretches in the rehabilitation of sufferers.
Hi Gary
We have used Oscon for the last 6 weeks and our son’s severe Sever’s Disease has really improved. He has been taking Oscon twice a day and we are just about to order some more to ensure our son’s progress continues. However, we are anxious to establish if there are any long term side effects of this supplement if he continues to take this twice a day for further (third) month. ans.:No long term side effects have ever been reported in thousands of cases. Also, whilst you say we could take the dose down to once a day, he has responded so well and we are reluctant to cause him to regress – do you find that taking the dose down to once a day can be detrimental? ans.: Not detrimental at all, as long as the pain was controlled by the 2/d regimen. 1/day is the “maintenance” or “preventative” dose. Look forward to hearing back from you.
Regards
Sir,
Many thanks for your two emails dealing so fully with my question regarding long term safety. The students selected by audition for Ballet training all have the criteria described in your first note regarding characteristics of individuals susceptible to apophysitis. You will appreciate that for us this is a problem of the majority rather than the minority. Having worked for twenty-five years as both a staff and guest teacher in major schools in Britain, France and Japan and relied in that time on the traditional treatments, rest, physiotherapy and ice, the rate of attrition was still appallingly high. Indeed some students never recovered satisfactorily. Although previously believing that Osgood-Schlatter and Severs were the possible culprits there seemed no reason, from the obtained advice, not to accept that while it was possible to alleviate the symptoms they were not fully treatable. I obtained parental permission for an experiment in the school after satisfying myself that the formula was safe. I must confess that my using Oscon was an act of desperation with little or no expectation as to its efficacy. After a month of use we are seeing a complete return to training with a marked improvement in performance standards as the pain apprehension is removed. For you, who have worked with thousands of athletes under these circumstances for many years this will come as no surprise, whereas I, being new to this, am beginning to see the hope of an unexpected light at the end of a dark tunnel and for that I am very grateful. My congratulations for your research and the apparent solving of an intractable problem inherent in Ballet Schools for years.

I wanted to thank you for the website and the cure. Morgan, our 12 year old daughter, plays travel softball, travel basketball, travel soccer and tried field hockey in middle school for the first time in the fall of 2006. For a couple years, she had complained intermittently about knee pain. It was nothing major. However, as you might imagine, the kid was busy this fall as all of her sports converged in October. Fall softball tournaments, soccer season, basketball practice, and the end of the field hockey season. She began to complain seriously about her knee. Remembering my childhood friends having this experience, I told my wife about Osgood-Schlatters. My wife began her research and found your website. We read other testimonials and gave it a shot figuring it is a natural supplement. We received the Oscon and brace around October 15. Today, November 3, Morgan is virtually pain free. When she was in pain, she remembered to take it daily. She now has to be reminded because the pain is gone.
Hi Gary,
My 12 year old son ended up with osgood schlatter during soccer time, his coach suggested Oscon and had some left over from his son. My son tried it and within a few days to a weeks time, was feeling much better with the pain…he was even having a hard time just going down stairs…firm believer in Oscon and thankful for our coach’s opinion…also epsom salt baths help immediately!! Thank you for everything…
Hello Gary,
My 12 year old daughter has Osgood Schlatter’s and began taking Oscon one month ago. Although her knees did continue to have discomfort there was definitely a decrease in pain after approx 3 weeks. She plays competitive tournament softball where her main position is as Catcher. We just finished a tournament this last weekend where she caught 6 games straight and I can honestly say she was completely pain free for the very first time! She had no complaints and did not have to ask the coach to put in a sub for her behind the plate to give her knees “a break”. She was able to play back to back games and help lead her team to the Championship! We were very pleased! We believe it is the Oscon that has made the difference for her and have decided to order another bottle and continue her on the therapy @ 1 pill per day. If we notice any pain returning, should we step it back up to 2 per day for the second month? Is this a safe dosage to continue for consecutive months? Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for making Oscon available, it truly works!
Sincerely,
Hi Gary,
Thanks, received order on Wednesday, my son started taking it that day and was able to play football Saturday and said that his knee hurt a little but compared to last Saturday when he was crying on the field because he was hurting so bad, he actually came off the field this weekend smiling and I just want to say thank you for a great product!!! At first he didn’t want to take the pills but after his game this weekend he’s like mom is it time to take my pill? He wanted me to tell you thanks and ask you this question, he is wondering if Oscon will make him stop growing???? (answer: Not at all!)
Thanks again,
Hi there
thank you for your great product, people here didn’t believe this would work but my 10 year old son who does swimming, football, little athletics, high jump and other sports could not stand the pain from running and jumping his Osgood Schlatters had caused. I had ordered the 2 bottles off you and after 2 weeks had felt no knee pain and we continued his 2nd bottle 1 tablet a day and he is still enjoying all his sports without giving up any of them.
Thanks
Gary,
Thank you for being so prompt! This is my son’s second dose. The pain is mostly gone, but acts up when he is playing basketball. This is why I decided to continue treatment with the 2nd dose and add the strap. My son is 15 and very active. We fully believe in your product and are glad we found it! I just wish the Dr.’s would tell you about it rather than saying he just has to stop growing! Plus – I love that its not medication, but nutrients! That is very important to me! Thank you!
Gary, just to give you an update on Jacob. The weekend prior to us getting in touch with you, Jake had a tournament in which he played one full game during which he started having knee problems. He started the next game, wearing a brace and made it about half way through. The next day he played but was very gimpy and sat out a portion. Jake is one of the players that never sits and is never subbed so we knew he was hurting. He sat out practices until the Oscon shipment arrived. Within 3 days of starting the course of treatment, He felt almost as good as new and started practices again. We couldn’t believe how quickly it helped. During practice and games he is back to normal! After, if he feels sore, he will ice his knees. That pain may be normal. Oscon has turned what could have been a miserable season into “Play as usual”. We are thrilled and are spreading the word!
Thank you!!
The product seems to be working on my daughter. She is very athletic and has noticed a reduction in pain. She has not had to ice her knee in a week. She is 14 and noticed pain last year during basketball. She is playing volleyball now and hopes to have no pain by the time basketball starts in December. I would like to order another bottle.
Thank you.
Hi Gary,
I have been ordering Oscon for my 13 year old son for at least 5 months now. We started the Oscon about March or April of this year. Our son, Rocco, is a passionate, elite, travel ice hockey player who would never give up his hockey nor stop his physical activity despite the pain in his knees. He competes at the highest level in both roller and ice hockey throughout the continent. In fact, even though our actual home is in Los Alamitos, California, we have temporarily relocated to Detroit, Michigan where our son was recruited to play ice hockey. We also have a 20 year old daughter who is on a full-ride academic and soccer scholarship at Oklahoma State University. When she was about our son’s age, she also developed osgood Schlatters and had it for about 6 months. Nearly every girl on her elite travel soccer team also developed the disease for a period of time. She has no repercussions from the disease and still plays soccer to this day. The disease had caused Rocco to walk like a “little old man”, slow and deliberate, and he had a lot of difficulty climbing and descending stairs, amongst other things. After starting the Oscon back in March or April, I saw marked improvement in his condition over a period of time. His walking became more natural again and even the swollen, large, bumps under both knees even got much smaller. The Osgood Schlatters pain had caused his beautiful skating stride and speed to appear to be laborious, forced, and awkward. It was easy to see the improvement after taking Oscon, because after a period of time, his fluid, beautiful skating began to return, and his speed and stride kept improving, and are now back to normal. His complaint of pain also lessoned over time, and he would only complain of pain in his knees when he underwent strenuous and lengthy competition or practice. In fact, during the month of July, Rocco competed in 3 different age groups in the 3 largest national roller hockey tournaments in the world. Nearly every day, for about 3 weeks, he had 2 to 4 roller hockey games a day. Even despite this demand on his body, he played consistently well, his speed and skating were excellent, and he rarely mentioned that his knees were hurting. He ended up winning 4 national championship titles and one national finalist title in The AAU Jr. Olympics, North American Roller Hockey Championships (NARCH), and TORHS Nationals. During the AAU Jr. Olympics, he was named to the “All-American” Team, and he also earned MVP in TORHS Nationals and “High Scorer” in NARCH. He even had a small article written about him in Sports Illustrated for Kids – see above attachment. Just recently, I noticed that dry land activities, like strength and conditioning for his ice hockey, and soccer, which he is currently playing for his school, cause him more pain than playing hockey. I am sure it’s because of the running and jumping, etc., associated with them. Unfortunately, he is determined to keep his training regiment on course for his team, so resting his knees is not an option. So, in the meantime, we keep using the Oscon, give him ice baths, and continue to pray and trust God for his complete and total healing and restoration. I just wanted you to know our “praise report”. We are thankful that we happened upon your website after doing a Google on Osgood Schlatters. We appreciate your work and passion to help kids during this awfully painful growth period of their young lives.
Sincerely,
Gary Nelson, Hi my name is Beth T… I live in Jacksonville Fl. I have twin boys 12 years old; they are very active in soccer. Approximately 3 to 31/2 months ago they were diagnosed with Osgood-Shatter. They are both growing very fast and with the sports 4 to 5 times a week they were in severe pain. The doctor told me there was nothing I could do but to take them out of soccer and rest their knees plus ice. I immediately got on the internet to research this disease. I did not even hesitate ordering the Oscon because I am a firm believe in herbs and vitamins. I just want to thank you because my boys have not missed one game or practice and for the last 3 to 4 weeks they have been pain free. My question is how much longer do they need to take the Oscon; they both still have the knots and I don’t want to rush things by taking them off too soon but I don’t know if it is good for them to stay on the Oscon although I don’t think there is anything in it that will hurt them. Oh by the way, we have 2 more boys on our team that are now on Oscon because of the boys having such great results. It truly is wonderful.
Thanks again.
Dear Sir,
My 15 year old son has just finished his course of treatment and says he has no discomfort anymore, having had a problem for approx the last 12 months. During his course of treatment he was also having physiotherapy on his troublesome knees along with acupuncture to treat his problem. Not sure whether the Oscon worked? Or the physio? Or a combination of both, but my gut feeling is that the Oscon helped his recovery most, with the added benefit of having the physiotherapy. Hope you find this useful.
Many thanks,
My son has almost used up his first months supply of Oscon and we can’t believe the improvement!! He was unable to participate in any physical activity and now he is playing football and competing in games with very little pain. He has three 2 hour football practices a week and games on Saturdays and is also fully participating in PE at school. We are so pleased with his results. Even his doctor is very impressed. Thank you for giving him back his freedom to be a kid!! We just ordered his second bottle to take once a day to keep him active. Thanks again!
Sincerely,
We are finishing our first month of Oscon. Thank you. Thank you. This stuff is amazing. My 13 year old daughter has suffered greatly with Osgood-Schlatter for three years. She was ready to give up on all sports. After 2 weeks on Oscon. She is now playing soccer and running cross country without any pain. She calls Oscon her miracle pill. It truly has been for her. I just reordered another bottle. I don’t want to ever go without it again. Thank you so very much! I am recommending it to all of her friends and coaches. It seems many kids are suffering unnecessarily. If only physicians knew how wonderful this Oscon works for children.
Thank goodness for Oscon!!! I got it for my 11 year old granddaughter and she is now pain free. She takes karate classes and was having a really difficult time. Now she’s better than ever. I wish we could have had this 20 years ago when her mother and uncle needed it.
Thanks again.
Hello Gary,
Bronwyn from New Zealand here. I ordered Oscon for my son which arrived on the 9th August he has severs disease. We have had Slade to a podiatrist several times and to our own G.P. had X rays and anti imflam medication which has done no good; this has been over a period of 18 months in which Slade has been in a huge amount of pain. Slade is a very active sporting 11 year old who was unable to walk for days after a rugby game this was very debilitating for him and us to watch him go through this and not be able to help in anyway. We heard of your product through another Southlander who had been watching Slade play rugby and asked if he was injured. We told him of Slade’s complaint and he had a son with the same problem. He kindly passed on your email address. Slade started taken the medication the same day it arrived and it honestly has been a god send. He is a totally different child who is not struggling to walk or keep up with his friends. He is in no pain and much happier in himself. I will highly recommend this product to anyone who has a child in this situation, and I thank you so much for giving Slade some comfort and enjoyment back into his childhood.
Thanks again,
When I first did a search for Osgood schlatters on the internet and saw your product I thought…yeah, right! It’s a scam! I thought for $22 it was worth the gamble. Am I ever glad that I gambled! My son could hardly run last year during soccer and had to watch a lot of the games from the bench. He was going up and down stairs on his seat. A year after taking the Oscon he is first in sprints and in the starting lineup for soccer. I am just about to order another bottle to make sure he doesn’t run out! Thanks so much for giving my son back his soccer and basketball career in high school!
Hey Gary,
Just wanted to drop you a quick note and say that the OSCON has worked on my son’s Severs Disease. It has been about a week and a half and he started feeling much better after a week or so. We are so excited that he is able to play football (and walk) with no pain in his heel. Thanks again for your help. I have forwarded the OSCON information to two other players on my son’s team that suffer from Severs.
I have to say THANK YOU! My son was suffering so much, we had taken him to a sports medicine doc, who put my son on sport restriction as well as restriction at school, (no stairs, etc) and eventually into a full leg brace. After literally 4 months of this treatment, he still was not better and my son’s frustration level was beyond belief. He plays goalie for his soccer team, and during the season he had to sit out the majority of it and when he did try and play, the pain he experienced was just not right. Well, I began researching and I found you! I ordered two bottles for him and he began to take it immediately – and literally within days he was finding relief. He has finished the second bottle about three weeks ago, and is experiencing a bit of discomfort when he kneels – so we have ordered the third bottle. His case was a severe case of Osgood Schlatter’s Disease and very hard to treat. I think that all sports doctors should be aware of this treatment! It was because of one determined mother trying to relieve her son’s pain that I found out about OSCON! Thank you so much for creating this!
Gary,
Just wanted to let you know that the combination of the Oscon and the strap has had an immediate effect for my son (11 years old). He started taking the tablets on Tuesday evening (July 18, 2006). I had him wear the strap and jog a small lap to see how his knee felt on Wednesday evening or Thursday to see how the strap would work and he said that it wasn’t even sore when he jogged. I know his Osgood Schlatter was caught early but call it a miracle or coincidence or just the combination of the oscon and the strap working but I’ll take it. He has been able to play in his baseball tournament which started Sunday July 23rd. It looks like he’s back to his peak form in making cutting moves to get the ball and running the bases. Before that, the prior 2 weeks, he couldn’t even jog without his knee hurting. Haven’t tried having him run without the strap as I don’t want to jinx it. I will probably wait until this week’s tournament is over to see how it is without the strap. I will continue to have him finish the month supply. Should he get a recurrence, or get it in the other knee, I have a 2nd bottle on order and will be ready. Thank you for all your help and with the info on the website.
Hi, Gary~
Just a short note to let you know that Taylor’s OS symptoms have just started to come back again after nearly a year of wonderful success following 2 1/2 bottles of Oscon. It has not impacted her activity in gymnastics yet, but one of her knees (both were affected last time around) is swelling and very tender after her practices. We’re ordering again to start another round of Oscon before it becomes immobilizing. She’s only 12 1/2, and I don’t see the gymnastics activity going away any time soon, so I’m guessing we may have to deal with these symptoms for a few more years. Practicing 16-18 hours a week takes it toll on a kid’s body, especially when they have OS, so I’m so thankful for the help we’ve received from you and from Oscon.
Dear Gary,
Your Oscon is one of the best success stories I have ever seen. My son, who is 16, plays basketball on an AAU team in North Carolina, after his regular High School season. He was in such pain for the last six months we tried straps, sports medicine Doctors, Physical therapy, nothing touched it and he was coming up on the State Championship in so much pain he could hardly play. That’s when I ordered Oscon, 2 weeks before the State Championship. Within 5 days he could jump again and with the start of the tournament…no pain…..believe it or not…no pain. He’s been off to a basketball camp in Ohio since, played 30 games in three days no pain…I truly can’t find the words to thank you. So many kids could really benefit from your discovery…
Thanks,
Hello Gary,
The order arrived on Tuesday, 4th July 2006. Today it has been 2 weeks that my son of 11 has been taking Oscon and I have nothing other than good things to say about the product. When he started on the medication, he had reduced his amount of sports activity down to one rugby practice session, one game of rugby and some bike riding every week. After only 7 days, he had added one game of basketball and 2 hours of intensive training to his sporting regime. He tried using the OS Strap’s only once but, he seems to find them either too cumbersome or perhaps it has something to do with the image. Not sure? Admittedly, after each session he still experiences some discomfort and pain but in his own words, “Mom, at least I can walk by myself now”. He is a different person again, he is happy and content, he is back in the position whereby he can dictate the amount of sporting activity he wants to do, not his knees – he is one of those children that goes to school for the sport, it just so happens that he has to put up with the academics to be able to stay at school. As a parent, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s good to have my son back again.
Best regards
Dear Mr. Nelson
I thank you so much for sending me Oscon. It is the only reason that I can run and just get around with out pain. I will advise it to all my fellow athletes for their Osgood-Schlatters disease pain. I cannot express my gratitude to you for helping my knee heal. I am half way through my 2nd month pill bottle and my bump is practically gone. I have a question though, is it normal for my knee to be tight in that area after I run for awhile?
Sincerely,
Rec’d the Oscon shipment yesterday, thanks Gary.
What a great product! It is the only thing we have found to significantly help the pain of Osgood Schlatters go away. It’s amazing. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for the Oscon.
I’m 14 years old. I started to develop OSD when I was 13. It’s been a year that I have had it. I used to be an elite runner for my age. I came in 7th place at Nationals until I got OSD. It was horrible not being able to train and I was coming into my freshman year at high school and didn’t do as well as expected. I saw Oscon when I first got OSD. I read through it and thought it was a fake. My family members who are physicians told me don’t take any pills just rest and ice and I did that for a year and no improvement. I just recently ordered Oscon. It has been 4 days and I already feel better than I have ever in my life. Thanks a lot. I couldn’t recommend any other thing. I can’t wait to get back into training after the 30 day course. Once again thanks a lot.
Hi Gary,
Just writing a quick update. My daughter was diagnosed with Osgood Schlatters earlier this year and has had two courses of Oscon. By the end of the last one she was having no pain and finished the last half of the bottle at one per day. Thank you so much for your candid and enlightening information and email discussion. I admit that I have not read all of your technical detail but the results speak for themselves in my opinion. That she had such immediate and dramatic response to your Oscon is remarkable, and my husband and I would like to say thank you so much for your dedication to treating and relieving this condition. Clearly you have helped many children throughout the world with this treatment so please accept our sincerest thanks. When I was in the initial stages of researching OS, I looked for testimonials from Australians as I wasn’t sure that I could access Oscon in Australia and was keen to find someone here that I could discuss their experiences of the treatment with. Therefore, should anyone be looking for someone in Australia to discuss their recent experience with the Oscon treatment I am more than happy to make myself available, just send me an email.
Thanks again Gary and all the best to you and yours
Thank you. This stuff is a life-saver. My daughter begins using her second bottle…pain has stabilized, although not gone completely it never gets any worse as long as she wears her brace. She played 7, 70-minute soccer games over a 4 day period and the pain never got worse…this after not being able to walk after running for 10 minutes. She is looking forward to running track again and hopefully breaking her own school record next year in the 1 meet she was able to compete in. Anyone that has OSD I have told them about your product….thank you for allowing my child to continue towards her dreams!!
Take care…
Hi Gary
Just want to thank you so much for making my daughters life pain free!!! She is an Irish Dancer who is nearly 14 years old & has suffered with terrible heel pain for about 18 months and was diagnosed by a biomechanic as having severs disease & would have to look at giving up the dancing which she loves. Irish dancing puts an enormous amount of strain on the feet & she would come home after dancing crying & in agony. I’m so glad that I searched the internet and found your website, and had the courage to give Oscon a try because 3 weeks after taking it she now only gets twinges in her heels, and has started to dance with a smile on her face as she has no pain! She still has physio weekly to stretch the muscles in her legs, but what a difference Oscon has made. Just re-ordered another months supply to make sure she is totally pain free. Thank you again from one very happy mother!
Gary, I rarely take the time to compliment a company for providing the services they claim and we expect as consumers. However, I feel compelled to let you know that our son Jordan, has seen drastic improvement with his knee pain. He is almost finished with the first 30 days, but as you’ve stated, the pain dramatically reduced between the 5 and 10 day mark of taking the Oscon. Your product, time and efforts have made a tremendous impact, not only on our son, but our family as a whole.
We thank you and will certainly recommend this product in the future.
Thanks Again,
Gary, My daughter has been using the Oscon and about 4 days after beginning treatment she felt well enough to play in her district soccer finals. She did have pain but had one of her best games of the season scoring both of the teams two goals, something was working. At this point she clearly notices that while there is some pain while active the pain does not linger after exercise as before and she is not bothered by stairs and even walking as before between periods of knee stress. As soon as she finishes the 30 day supply we will re-evaluate and see if another month would be beneficial. Based on her progress do you have any recommendations? We have been approached by a number of people asking about your product and have passed on your information.
Thanks,
Gary, My son is doing great and asked me to purchase one more bottle “just in case.” Football season is about to begin. You should be receiving an order from Joe Shuffer…we were at assessments today and he started to tell me about the painful bump under his son’s kneecap. Boy, do I feel like an expert now!
You’ve done a good thing for the kids by making this available!!!
Thanks again…
Just want you to know that your product RAWWWWKS! 18 months ago we started our sons on the product…the 11 year old had Severs and the 14 year old Osgood. The results were outstanding. I have ordered again for the younger son who is showing signs now of Osgood at age 13. I had this as a kid and had to cease all sports in the 8th grade…no more soccer, basketball, or skiing…could only continue on swim team. Sure wish this was available back then.
Thanks again!
Hello, Thank you for sending the supply. My son needed it and he says it’s better now.
Just thought I would let you know that after taking Oscon for a month and a half, my daughter managed to go to Disney in Florida for 2 weeks with no heel pain !!! We were amazed and couldn’t believe what a difference it has made to her. Before this she could only walk for 10 minutes before she complained of pain.
Thanks for the help
Hi Gary, Just a quick note to let you know that our son Matthew has been on your products since they arrived. He noticed a marked improvement within a couple of weeks. Improvement to the extent that he now insists he does not need his knee brace – which of course we prefer him to use. We have just started the second bottle of Oscor . From your experience will I need to order more when this bottle is finished or do you recommend we take a break in the routine? Also I would really appreciate it if you could send us some more of the pamphlets on Osgood-Schlatter disease and Oscon. I would like to pass them onto my doctor who I know has patients with the same condition. He is an amazing doctor and I am sure would be happy to recommend this product based on our success.
Our address again is:
So far..so good. My son Josh has been on the Oscon for 3 weeks now. It was about a week before he could say that the pain was noticably less. The bump is still present but does not hurt as much when pressed on. He has been kicked there since we started the Oscon and there did not seem to be any recurrent swelling or pain. He has suffered with this for about a year or so now. I’m glad to see that this may work.
Greetings, Thanks for our speedy first order. We are about 3 weeks in (I think)… My son’s pain is greatly reduced, eliminated completely on most days, but when very active a bit of pain. We are absolutely thrilled with your product. If you can believe it we still don’t have a “diagnosis” yet from the x-rays of OS from the MD – he’s been on holidays! But I’m positive that’s what it is….I’m going to give him your brochure…….he’s open minded thank goodness. This will be the medicine of the future…. I’m sad to think of all the kids in pain who could be helped by your product.
Thank you,
I am really impressed with Oscon; I never thought my son would have any relief from his knee pain except to stop all sports activities. Thank You so much. What a great product!!
Gary,
I don’t know if you remember talking to me last month about the Oscon. My son had a hard time taking it and you told me about the peanut butter thing. Then my husband called you and spoke to you and now he is swallowing his two pills at dinner and it’s working for him. I just wanted to thank you and tell you that he is almost back to normal. It’s been just about a month since he started taking the Oscon everyday and the last week or so, he has improved greatly. I am thrilled and wanted to let you know. I also really appreciate that you called and asked why I didn’t order the Oscon when I ordered the other products. It opened up the discussion and changed a kid’s life. We are on bottle number two now. How long should he continue to take it? Thanks again…Sodie will be 12 in August and very athletic. He is grateful that we found you! Thanks…please feel free to use us as a testimonial. We believe!
Best Regards,
Mr. Nelson,
My name is Marsha Riders and in March 2006 I ordered your product for my 12 year son. He was suffering severely from Osgood-Schlatter Disease. I had read information regarding your product Oscon. Let Me Tell You!!!! I would not have believed it if I hadn’t of tried it! Within two-three weeks of my son using your product he back to at least running again, not quite back to 100% but pretty darn close. Within that fourth week he was back to his normal running speed. Let me tell you a little about my son. He is an avid soccer player, perhaps the best in his age group in our community. When he began complaining of his legs really bothering him, I tried everything I could of, Ibuprofen, Tylenol, mentholatum rub, hot packs, cold packs even took him to the Drs and she stated to keep doing everything I was already doing and he would be fine with in a year to 18 months. Both he and I were almost in tears because he would be basically out of service and he just couldn’t live with that idea. I found your product on line read about it and decided to give it a try. OH MY GOSH I am so sold on your product. I am telling every one I know about it. I have had calls from acquaintances and gave them information on your Oscon, have not heard back from them yet but I am waiting hear from them to see if they are sold on it!
Thank you so much for coming up with Oscon!!
Hi Gary,
My daughter is feeling so much better, thank you! She has taken it two times a day and she is pain free right now. We will continue with Oscon once a day. Her “bump” is the size of a quarter and it has been very painful. Thank you for Oscon! I wish I had known about it for my older daughter!!!
Gary~ I just got a phone call from a mom in California with a gymnast-daughter suffering from Osgood’s. She said that she has spent significant time on the phone with you, but she was still hesitant as to whether or not the Oscon really works. I told her our story, and she’ll probably be ordering. Please feel free to use our story! I’m happy to receive phone calls from skeptics (I was one at one time!), and help to turn them around to get them to try the product.
Just an update on our situation………
Taylor went through two full bottles at the regular dosage. We were still having some sensitivity and minor swelling, so we did a third bottle taking one capsule every other day for the third month (so we still have just a few on-hand). Taylor doesn’t have any problems now….she still has the tell-tale bumps on both knees from the Osgoods, but no problems or symptoms.
She had a wonderful season and set quite few gym records for high scores this year. She did repeat her Level 7 season since she wasn’t able to tumble much during her first time around last year, and we’re proud to say that she was the All-Around State Champion for Level 7 in her age group again this year. She’ll be moving on to Level 8 now.
During her first Level 7 season (December ’04-March ’05), we had to water down her floor routine with only the simplest tumbling passes due to the Osgood’s……then we finally discovered your product after the season was through. Taylor only tumbled one or two passes two days before a competition and never tumbled during practice due to the Osgood’s. She had to settle for modified conditioning while everyone else worked floor. Despite her pain and extreme swelling, she was able to take the state championships in floor, vault and beam and also took the AA that year. This past season she repeated Level 7 since she didn’t spend much time learning new skills during her 8-9 month Osgood’s bout, but she had a bunch of Level 8 skills in her routines and her knees were never an issue. She repeated as the AA state champ and is a stronger gymnast. We no longer ice after practice and no longer apply heat before practice. Taylor also no longer wears ANY knee braces at all. Other than the bumps, you’d never know that she almost had to give up gymnastics due to her extreme pain and swelling in both knees before taking Oscon.
Hi Gary!
The product has worked wonders! There has been a noticeable improvement since he started taking the Oscon, however, he is still experiencing quite a bit of discomfort. Since he has only been on the treatment for 30 days, I think we should continue with it for at least another month and hopefully it will improve further. Unfortunately, I think he may be one of those cases that experience a higher degree of pain and inflammation (in both knees). The braces are working out well and they seem to help too. This affliction has definitely affected his activity levels and his degree of ability and mobility and we’re hoping that it will not permanently affect his progress in the sport. Thanks again for your help and advice!
Regards,
The Oscon seems to be working great. She has stopped complaining of knee pain at games………. Do you know why if Oscon works this well, pediatricians only recommend RICE and quitting sports? I am just curious since it does seem to work amazingly well, but nobody around here has ever heard of it?
Thanks,
Thanks.
Symptoms have improved immensely. Not gone, but much more manageable than before. Best thing we have found.
Gary
Thank you. We had huge success in January with Oscon and as often happens when things start to improve significantly, we forget to take our medication. Andrew, my 12 year old who has Osgood Schlatters is nowhere near as bad as he was in 2005, but we just have the odd niggle and some days with sore knees. So I thought I would try to keep the dose regular for a couple of months. My sister’s son also has O S so he is going to try this as well.
Kind Regards
Dear Gary,
My daughter plays competitive basketball year round and is also a nationally ranked member of the USA Track and Field organization for her age division (she is also the national regional AAU champion in the high jump). Mid-way through the winter basketball season she developed a severe case of OSD. After playing games and after hard practices, she couldn’t walk without limping. Because we have a world renowned orthopedic clinic in the area (I won’t mention any names), I thought surely they can help. It was frustrating to find out that all they could recommend was the standard R.I.C.E. treatment (which we were already doing!) and potentially sitting out the remainder of the basketball season and potentially the outdoor track season. Because my daughter is very, very driven and motivated, not to mention highly competitive; the idea of sitting out a season made her more than just a little bit crazy! (Almost impossible to live with). That aside, being a Dad I didn’t like seeing my daughter in this debilitating state, so I began to look at and research any and all other treatment options for her, and came across Oscon. I have to admit that I was skeptical; I thought it couldn’t be that simple. But I figured that we didn’t really have anything to lose because Oscon is in-expensive and consists of natural supplements. Within a week there was a very noticeable difference. At about 2 weeks into the treatment the only symptom was that the OSD bump was still a little tender to the touch, but she had no problem playing at her normal intense level, basically she could use her quads as much and as hard as she wanted without any OSD pain. And by the fourth week the OSD bump, which appeared to be smaller, wasn’t even sore. OSCON IS EVERYTHING IT IS ADVERTISED TO BE!! THANKFULLY! my daughter can continue to play basketball throughout the year. She is an integral part of her team, which is on a 30 game winning streak and will be playing in an upcoming international tournament (her coach is also very happy). And she will be able to defend her title as state champion, and national regional AAU champion in the high jump; as well as compete in all of her other track and field running events. I speak for my daughter in saying that WE ARE VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND OSCON FOR ANY SUFFER OF OSD!!! A very special “Thank You” goes to any and all involved with advertising and making Oscon available!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Hello Mr. Nelson,
My order arrived in record time and my daughter was able to use the OS Short Sleeve bands at National Cup this weekend. She absolutely loved the bands. The bands were extremely comfortable, light weight, well constructed without being bulky and restricting range of motion of her knees like the other knee bands I’ve purchased since December when the tendonitis first started. I was pleasantly surprised not to hear complaints of displeasure but rather expressions of awe that she actually likes the products. Thank you for taking the time to correspond with me via email during my purchase. I have passed on your website address and my review of the items that I purchased to the parents of other girls on the team who are experiencing painful knees. Thank you again and have a wonderful evening.
Thank you so much for the speedy delivery. Both products have made a great improvement to our son’s soccer and rugby playing. We have taken your advice about tablets if no improvement with the knee pain we will be in touch. Very grateful all the way from Great Britain.
Yours in sport.
I ordered Oscon for my son in 2004 and it was absolutely amazing. He was getting ready for 2 a days in football and was unable to run 2 feet because of the pain.
You rushed me an order and he started taking it a week before practice started. He was able to participate in everything that first week except for one session where he had to ride the stationary bike instead. It was incredible!
Since then I have made it one of my missions to seek out those who have these conditions and tell them about oscon. I even printed out your website info and gave it to our trainer at school and to those I find out are going through the same painful growing process my son went through. All that to tell you I believe in your product and what you have done to help so many kids…………………………
Thank you,
Hey,
I tried out your product like you directed. Now I’m just taking one pill a day. The effect that the pills had was great. Before I couldn’t squat weights, play basketball, or even go up simple stairs without my knee really hurting. But now I’m going out for track and squatting 180 lbs. Just wanted to say thank you for the pills and making them so affordable, it has really improved more then my sports life, it also helped my hunting and working at the farm also. So thanks again.
Gary,
I received the strap today. Thanks, and the OSCON really has made a difference in the Osgood Schlatter’s in my son’s knee.
Thank You,
Hi Gary,
Thanks so much for the Oscon. My son is 16 years old and began showing signs of Osgood Schlatters disease about a year ago. I did some research and found your website and decided to try Oscon. Within a week he was almost totally pain free and was able to play without pain for approximately 9 months. The pain returned and we just recently purchased another bottle of Oscon and he is again free of pain.
I also purchased a bottle for a friend of his that has the same symptoms. I am hoping that he will have the same results.
Thanks,
This is the 2nd order we have filled for my grandson, who is 9 years old. He is very active in sports. The Oscon has helped ease his pain during sports. He now is playing pain free. Thank you.
Dear Gary, we have now received the sleeve – thank you. James is already reporting an improvement on his knee – the bump is not so tender – many thanks. In the UK they tell everyone there is no cure. Just rest – I am passing your details on to other parents.
Regards.
Hi Gary,
I ordered Oscon for my almost 14 year old son at the beginning of January. He hasn’t been 100% compliant in taking it twice daily, but we have seen a huge improvement.
My son is a very active boy…. He plays football then wrestling; he is a snow boarder and is taking Tae Kwon Do year round. When I ordered the Oscon, my son was just about ready to quit Wrestling due to the knee pain he was experiencing. He would call me after practice to ask to be picked up because he knee hurt so badly he didn’t want to walk anymore. But since reading about Oscon he decided to wait and see if it would help. Well, let me say that we are entering our last week of wrestling! My son even went to a tournament and took second place! His knee is a lot better. I only hear about any discomfort he is having when I ask, he is no longer bringing it up to me. (Which was every day?) I would say that he is about 85% improved! Another testament I have for you is when he went snow boarding after being on the Oscon for about 1 ½ weeks. He came home all excited because he could maneuver the board a lot better than before. He could do tricks and spins that his knee wouldn’t allow him to do just 2 weeks earlier! The joy on his face almost brought tears to my eyes! My son has struggled with his Osgood Schlatters knee problems for almost 4 years now, and finally there is something that helps!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
My questions for you are these. What is the typical length of treatment? (I have seen comments of 1 – 2 months on the website) Should I keep him on it another month? When will it be necessary to treat again?
Like I have said, he has been on it for about 1 month now. Not religiously, so we do have some pills left. His knee pain I would say is about 85% improved, still some pain and tenderness every now and then especially with more exertion but a lot better than before.
Thanks again!!!!
Gary,
Thanks so much for calling last night and speaking with my husband. Your customer service goes above and beyond…I will definitely recommend your website and products for anyone that I run into with OS.
By the way, my son has a terrible gag-reflect so he can’t (or won’t because of fear now) swallow pills. That is why I didn’t order Oscon.
When he finally does begin to swallow pills, I will be ordering them.
Thanks again,
Your product is amazing!! My son has been on the oscon for only 5 days, and he has completely stopped complaining about his knee. I know this could just be a coincidence, but I highly doubt it! He is back to wrestling and the bump is gone! I really wasn’t sold until NOW! Thanks so much!
Thank you for your prompt response. I purchased this 3rd bottle to give to both my kids 1/day for the second month. My daughter’s left knee has a knot almost the size of a golf ball below her knee cap. Will this knot decrease in size over time? She is playing Freshman Basketball in High School and Club Volleyball. She is very active with both games and practices 7 days a week and the OSCON has helped tremendously.
Is this genetic? I had Osgood in both my knees growing up. Thank you for a wonderful product.
Hi, Think I’m through to the right person – Gary?
Anyway, my son David Down from near London in the UK suffered for 6 months with OS last year. We trailed around a number of Osteopaths/Physios/Doctors and were given the same advice – REST REST REST and possibly look at giving up judo – a sport which he took up 3 years ago and has done incredibly well at. As a 13 year old up and coming sportsman he was devastated and so we turned to the Web. After reading about OSCON we were a little sceptical but thought it worth a try. We were told that after a month he’d be back again doing judo (he couldn’t even kneel on the mat for the customary “bow” at the beginning let alone do any high impact moves. We were told that after 2 months, the pain would probably be gone. As predicted, much to the judo coaches’ delight, David came back on the mat after a month. A month later he went on to win the SOUTH OF ENGLAND tournament at our International Arena Crystal Palace!!!! He now feels NO pain whatsoever (just 3-4 months after taking your advice) and I would happily become a distributor for this AMAZING product in the UK. I feel very passionately that we reach out to kids and those effected with this dreadful condition with this information.
Thank you once again – amazing! Please feel free to use any or all of the above in any promotional material. David continues to take 1 a day and I would therefore like to order 2 more jars of 60. I’m not sure if you still have my original card details but please call me and I will give the information to you over the phone (I think we are about 8 hours ahead of you so please don’t go phoning in the middle of the night!).
Please send an email confirming you’ve received this.
Regards
This is my second shipment of Oscon. I got them for my 12 year old daughter. We were at our wits end as nothing seemed to help and some days the pain in her knees was so bad she couldn’t even walk home from school. She used to dance 3 times a week and was in the school athletics team up until May of last year when the pain in her knees became so bad that she was just unable to carry on with these activities. We visited the Doctor on numerous occasions and each time we were told she had to ‘wait it out’ and give her painkillers. After the first month of taking Oscon the difference has been absolutely amazing. The pain is still there when pressure is put on the ‘bump’ but she is able once again to take up ballet and rejoin the athletics team and has even added the volleyball team to her list of activities. We cannot express our gratitude enough. She is back on track and enjoying herself again. Thank you so much.
Regards
Shipment arrived on New Years Eve many thanks for that. I will keep you posted regards ongoing progress, but just wanted to say that improvement after 5 days have been unbelievable. He can now RUN instead of hobbling during his cricket bowling and batting. He generally does a lot of road running but we haven’t got back into this as yet as I don’t want to overdo it. Just to be able to play cricket again is fantastic! He has a 5 day cricket tournament starting on the Jan 8th. I will give you a progress report after that and also order some more. Once again, many thanks.
Kind Regards
I wanted to let you know that my daughter is already feeling relief in her knees, most likely from the Oscon!
She’d been complaining of pain on a regular basis the weeks preceding receipt of the Oscon. Actually she’s been having a lot of pain since August. She was diagnosed with Genu Valgum (knock knee) which was obvious, and the Osgood Schlatter specifically on her right knee. She rides horses (English) regularly (almost daily) and the posting may have caused the tear due to gradual strain. She’s ten and it remains to be seen if the genu valgum will correct itself a bit, but we have an appointment at Duke Hospital in February for their opinion, as the misalignment is putting such strain on her knees and ankles even.
It’s difficult to see her in pain. Anyway, thanks for sending the Oscon, as it seems to be helping a lot for both conditions.
Regards,
Gary, re feedback, my son has recently completed the monthly Oscon course and I have to say that it appears to have been successful. He is no longer wearing the knee support and has certainly stopped complaining, thanks for your input.
My first bottle of oscon my 10 year old daughter was taken with little results. But it wasn’t until the 30 days were up that I realized that she was not taking them as directed! (She still had about 15 left in the bottle). I then ordered a second bottle and kept a close eye on her schedule of taking the supplement. It worked great. At about day 9 she said her knees were feeling better. On day 15 she had another practice and came home and when I asked her how she felt she smiled and said she hadn’t even thought about her knees at practice. Keep in mind that her problem has been ongoing for over a year. My 13 year old son hit a growth spurt at the beginning of basketball season and started having the same problem. I ordered again and have had the same outstanding results with no interruptions in either of their seasons.
Thanks,
Thought you would like to hear that after my daughter had taken the first course of tablets her knee was much better, she hardly ever mentioned it. She is still able to carry on with her sports with little pain. The “bump” has gone down but hasn’t disappeared. She is still taking one tablet a day. Thank you very much for your help.
I have been wanting to send this to you but I am still in awe of your product! I don’t know if people really believe testimonials but I want to praise and have given praises to your product-My son couldn’t jump. He is a basketball player and his Osgood was hindering him from playing-we ordered only 1 bottle (per your request) he took it and he is better than ever! He may be able to get a sports scholarship and I owe it all to you
Hi Gary,
I had asked Jake (my grandson’s) doctor if this was okay to take and she gave the go ahead. He has not been complaining as much about the pain so it really seems to be working. He is very conscientious about taking his Oscon 2X a day so it must be working for him as he tends to forget other things that he is supposed to take or do! 🙂 Thanks!
She went back to gymnastics last Weds. She had no complications at all. I swear to you that this is a miracle drug. I am so pleased with this product, that if you need any more testimonials I will be glad to speak up. I am so thankful for your product and for Donna in WV. I called her with a million questions and she answered them all. Thank you again for your concern.
Subject: Oscon shipment
We noticed improvement very quickly! Our 13 year old plays basketball and was in severe pain. He wears bands under the knees now and with the Oscon, hasn’t had any problems at all for the last few weeks! We will continue on the once a day for the next month. We’re so happy to have found your product on-line!
Don’t know if you remember me or not…..you sold me a couple of bottles of OSCON and some knee straps for my 12 year old daughter about a year ago. Believe I gave you some initial feedback earlier in the year…..but wanted to follow up again. First: Her knees are GREAT. The second dose put an END to the problems. Second: Her knee straps have helped, but, they’ve almost become a signature item for her. Lots of kids have wanted to know how to get “those cool knee pads.” Sending you a picture of her in action, with her knee strap. Bottom line: Your product made the difference for my kid. Her school basketball season concluded just last night and she helped lead the team to a 14 – 1 record!
Thank you again!
Mr. Nelson,
Thank you so much for your quick reply. My 11 year old son took Oscon for his extremely painful Osgood-Schlatter and after 5 or 6 days, he was running normally and playing football again. I will begin giving my daughter Oscon today!!! Her shin splints are severe….they bring her to tears when she runs, cheers, jumps and especially when she lands out of her tumbling passes. I will e-mail you with her results.
Thanks again,
Dear Gary,
My name is Chris and I have a son that lives for playing sports. He stays active in different types of sports year around and is very competitive. About a year ago he began to experience knee pain and progressively worsened. Being a physical therapist I treated him conservatively with routine stretches and modalities. Some weeks ago he was sidelined from football with increased pain that prevented him from normal walking. At that point I began to treat him vigorously to decrease his pain and keep his pain to a minimum. I discovered your Oscon product and ordered a 60 day supply and my son was able to get out to the field again with minimal pain in just 10 days. We just finished the 60 day supply and he has no pain with running. The only discomfort he experiences is palpation on the tibial tuberosity. The typical lump on the knee has also shrunk. I just wanted to say thank you for a great product.
THANK YOU THANK YOU FROM THE UK!!!
Hi Gary
My son David (osgood – judo player) has just finished his 2nd month of OSCON – I am personally going to contact every physio in my area and give them your details. He is now “95%” better and competed in his first competition since the beginning of the summer. What an amazing transformation! As he still has some pain when he kneels and “drops” (judo), thought it might be useful to do another month – can’t imagine it would do any harm?

Hi Gary
My soccer-playing 14 year old son has suffered from O-S since February and we have just ordered a second bottle of Oscon. Michael had a text book recovery after starting Oscon – it was unbelievable. The second bottle is just to cover the occasional twinge he still has after a hard game/practice.
Thanks
Oscon
Thank you. This is my son’s second bottle. The first one has worked significantly and is getting him through soccer season. He still has some minor pain but nothing near what he had been experiencing before Oscon. We’re hoping the second bottle will continue to mark more improvements and get him through basketball season. Then he should have enough reserve built up to carry him through his growth spurt, we hope. If not, we know where to get more. Thank you so much for this miracle.

Dear Gary – The Oscon definitely seems to be helping our son. We have seen improvement over the past few weeks. I am very grateful to you because we went to two different doctors, and they offered no solutions. I even checked into acupuncture, which won’t do much either. What do you think about Pilates?

Although we were truly skeptical for the first 20 days or so, I must now admit that it appears that one bottle of Oscon did in fact do the trick. My son has not complained once since completing his regimen of Oscon and that includes making it through football camp and thus far into the 3d game of the season.

Dear Gary, I have to say that the results on my son’s knee have been fantastic. After 5 days the pain had gone and the lump. He will of course take the full course of tablets, but he is now back in full time training, with no reaction at all. I would like to thank you for the help and advice you have given us, to date.
I have another son who is now 20 years old, and has also suffered from the same thing, and he still gets pain in his knees. Do you think a course of Oscon would benefit him, or is it too late? Any help on that one would be appreciated.

Good morning: My name is Joan J. and my granddaughter, who is 14, and very involved in sports, has been diagnosed with osgood schlatter disease. I decided to go on line to read what it was all about and after reading it passed the information on to my daughter and her husband. They made a decision to order oscon and give it a try. They did check with a pharmacist to make sure it was safe to take. My granddaughter was in a lot of pain and was worried that her athletic days were over. After one week she is pain free and has been attending basketball practices, and cross country running. We cannot believe it actually worked. There are so many products out there that profess to be a cure-all , therefore we were very skeptical and really felt that this probably would not work, but we were desperate.
I cannot tell you how pleased we are and are just hoping this keeps up. I will keep you updated on how it is going. We will give this a little more time and then will feel obligated to pass this important information on to other athletes who are experiencing the same problem. How can we ever thank you.

Thank you so much. Less than a week after starting your tablets my son’s ‘lump’ has almost gone. Wearing your support he managed a whole 90 minutes on pitch in a mush league football match. He didn’t limp once! He is now returning to the fun loving sporty boy he was previous to developing osgood schlatter. It’s a shame Oscon isn’t more freely available in the UK. I have informed both my doctors and the PE staff at the school which i teach at of your products and web site.
Many thanks

Wow! Is all I can say, TWO days after taking the Oscon the pain in his knees which was deadly close to ending Shane’s football season stopped. He is running very, very hard. Maybe the hardest I’ve seen from him. He is the starting halfback at the Jr. High level here in St Marys PA

Thank you,
Thank you! We are looking forward to receiving the Oscon. I KNOW it has helped because the pain she was in before taking it was making her limp and she was completely unable to run. Now she has virtually no limitations. And she is in no way done growing (I am 5’8″ and my husband is 6’1″) and she is only about 5’2″ so far.

Hi Gary:
My daughter is about to complete the first 30 day treatment of Oscon. There has been a tremendous difference in pain and mobility. The pain when the bump is pressed has decreased greatly but not completely. We check it by me placing pressure on the area until she feels a zap of pain. To consider OS disease healed does that pain they feel on the bump eventually go or does it linger until they so call grow out of it ? I ordered a second bottle. Do I continue to give Oscon to her until the tenderness in the bump area is completely gone or do I give her one a day to control any possible reoccurrence of inflammation ? Please let me know. Thanks.
P.S. So far it appears to be working great for her. She was able to complete her summer league basketball season with just a little discomfort at the end of the games. The discomfort did not last that long. We would ice it for a few minutes when we got home. She is now moving on to tryouts for the traveling softball team. She’s excited because she can now bend down to get the ball. This past spring she was unable to do it during the regular season. When she tried to push herself to do it she had tremendous discomfort and pain. I’m hoping Oscon keeps on healing her knees. So far it has been the best thing for her knees. Running has become easier too; she does still have discomfort at times.
Please let me know your opinions. Thanks Again.

Believe it or not, the lost shipment just arrived in our PO Box today. We refused it so it should be coming back your way. My son’s knee is much better. In fact, his U-13 boys soccer team just won the state soccer championship in Alaska! His performance was a marked difference from his limping around at the Diadora soccer tournament in Redmond, Washington in July. Thank you for your great product and your assistance in getting the second order to us.
Hi Gary…
I just left you a voice mail regarding my son and the progress ( I’m a bit scared to write ” healing ” ) that he has made over the last 4 months.
I still remember the day he woke up from sleeping on the sofa and said that his knees were bothering him. It happened to be in the middle of his Travel Basketball season which did concern us. Two weeks later we sat and listened as the Orthopedics’ Assistant told us that Brian had Osgood-Schlatter and there was ” nothing” that we could do. However He should not stop his activities. Easier said than done. After giving him Advil’s before every game or practice I felt like one of the Trainer’s from the old North Dallas Forty film which starred the Country Singer whose name escapes me. ( Mac Davis – a short senior moment )
Anyhow I was surfing the web and I came upon your website ( for the second time ) and I trusted what you told me and purchased Oscon. Within two months Brian’s knees began to not hurt him as he walked around but if he fell on them they would hurt still . At last I could see some Progress !!! Then at the beginning of his Spring Basketball season he fell down and came away with a foot injury. This injury actually was a “heel” injury and the Foot Doctor who happens to be next door to my office ( FREE consultation ) smiled at me and said some kind of ” disease ” . Again I looked on the web and saw that it was indeed called ” Sever’s Disease “. Another call to you Gary and you said ” keep on keeping on ” with the Oscon. OK we did ( for another 2 months or so ) but the moment we hoped for seemed to appear just last week.
Basically when the Sever’s kicked in I said to Brian that B_Ball is over for the time being. This led to a discovery of Golf for my son. I was happy because I kind of revived my game a little and we really had some great times together this summer on the course as well as the driving range. This leads me to the moment last week as we were ” hurrying ” to finish a golf game as darkness set in. Brian was walking briskly from the green and then jogging to the golf cart so we could try to get one more hole in. I overheard his mumble to himself that it felt weird to jog and not feel pain. I asked if his heel was feeling better and he gave me that 12 and a half year old kid response “YEAH” .
Well, with 7th grade Football 2 weeks away Gary, we started a jogging / light sprinting program and Brian has not uttered one complaint about his Knees or his Heel. Thanks Again Gary for bringing Oscon to the marketplace….the top Docs out there say you cannot do anything about these younger folks “growing problems”. But I know that my young guy was helped by Oscon !!!

Hello!
I’m a present customer of yours and I’ve purchased the Oscon and the OS Short Sleeve. I think we need to purchase another bottle of the Oscon. My son didn’t take the Oscon in the last bottle regularly. He says his knee feels better though. Now that he’s into football season, I’m wondering if I need to purchase the Open Patella Sleeve. Could you please advise on this? He has mentioned that the OS Short Sleeve does fall down etc. during practice. Perhaps it’s from the sweat and the contact of football. The Short Sleeve was just wonderful during baseball season. He’s a running back and a linebacker so he’s in contact on nearly every play.
Anyway, I would sincerely appreciate your advice and I will purchase accordingly. Answer: The OP Full sleeve would be better for football, and he probably should take a second bottle to eliminate the OSD. Thanks so much for making great products!! 🙂
I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the Oscon. It’s been like night & day since he has started taking it. He has made a week of practice without having to stop due to the pain. Thanks so much, it’s been a miracle.
Dear Gary,
About 2 years ago, my daughter Jacqui was suffering with sore knees after a game of basketball. We went to our local Doctor who told her to rest and probably not play until it felt better. Try telling that to a young girl who was in representative teams and enjoying playing. Anyway I decided to search the internet, and that is when I found Oscon. Jacqui began taking these tablets and within 2 weeks was feeling remarkably better and running more freely. Now 2 years later, Jacqui has had another growth spurt (huge growth spurt) and with training and playing fixture games and representative games taking up most of her week, the pain is beginning to come back slightly. With the result we had last time, I have again ordered Oscon in the hope that it will ease her problem again.
Thanks,
Gary,
Thanks for such a great product! Here’s our story so far:
My 11 1/2 year-old daughter has been a gymnast for six years. She is heading into her fifth season as a competitive gymnast. About 10 months ago, she started developing pain below her knee when she would run down the vault track or tumble hard on the floor exercise. We started with ice therapy pre-post practice, cautioned her coaches not to push her through the intense pain, disallowed any deep-knee bending and bought her a Cho-pat brace for patellar tendinitis to wear during practice.
Taylor practices 16-18 hours a week, year-round, so it was becoming a problem. Gymnastics is not a sport where a kid can “take a break” for long without losing skills and flexibility. It was getting to the point that she couldn’t do more than three tumbling passes in a practice without having to sit out due to intense pain…not good. Eventually, the issue became the same with both knees.
My husband, a chiropractor certified in pediatrics and sport’s chiropractic, first thought it to be patellar tendinitis, but very quickly changed the diagnosis to Osgoods. Our healthcare philosophy does not have room for ibuprofen to attempt a reduction in swelling. Exercises to strengthen the hamstrings (notoriously weak in gymnasts in comparison to their well-developed quads), chiropractic adjustments of the spine/knee/ankle joints, lots of ice, the brace, and heat-before/ice-after practice were only producing minimal results. I spent some time on the internet researching Osgoods to find that we were already doing everything “out there” with the exception of your supplement.
Since it is all-natural and contains no drug components, we were willing to give it a try. We were feeling as though Taylor had a major case of Osgoods and her future as a gymnast was questionable since she was only 11 and experiencing such difficulty at the younger side of the age spectrum for Osgoods.
We started your supplement and within a week, Taylor said that it seemed there was less inflammation following her four-hour practices. After two weeks, much of the pain had diminished during and after practices; she was able to tumble with minimal pain but without limiting herself. We are approaching four weeks and she still has a little bit of pain and a little bit of swelling following activity, but now only wears a Cho-pat during her vault runs and during actual tumbling skills. I’ve ordered two more bottles: one for the 2nd 30-day course and the other as a “just-in-case-we-need-a-maintenance-dosage” bottle.
QUESTION: Taylor has no interest in leaving this sport. She had not begun to menstruate (competitive gymnasts are often late in their development), but has shown beginning signs of the onset of puberty. SO……..would you anticipate the recurrence of Osgoods symptoms AND the need to enter into other 30/60-day course of supplementation over the next few years until she emerges from puberty if she stays active in the sport? The gymnastics skills only get tougher and harder on the body with increased ability……
Thanks, Gary. I’ll be telling other parents at our gym about your supplement. It’s also something that my husband may begin to utilize in his chiropractic practice in combination with adjustments.
Sincerely,
Hi,
I thought I would give you some feedback from someone in the UK that was quite skeptical that this could work and worried about ordering something over the internet and from the US. I can only say that after 10 days my son noticed a considerable reduction in pain and is practically pain free with only a few days left to go of the first course. Absolutely amazing results to both his Osgood-Schlatter and Severs Disease. THANK YOU.
I shall certainly be recommending this to friends whose children are also suffering. My son has also shown no reluctance to take the tablets and has reminded me to give him one if I have forgotten – he obviously appreciates the benefits they are bringing.
My son has a football tournament this weekend, with up to 6 matches to play, so it will be interesting to see if he suffers any pain. I have just ordered the second 30 day supply for him to take one a day to build up his reserves.
Once again, thank you.
Hi Gary,
Have had great results with the Oscon on my 12 year old son. It has certainly taken away the knee pain during any running activities and especially his soccer. He is about 3 weeks into the bottle and i am wondering whether he should continue on after the completion of this bottle, maybe a lower dose? We are traveling to the U.K. in 2 weeks and my son is going to be training with an English Club (so rather intense i imagine) and i am worried if he finishes this course before we leave that the pain may start again while we are away! What would you advise?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Thank you for sending my son the second bottle, I believe it did the job. He has not complained of any pain, since finishing the second treatment. I just wanted you know that it worked. Thank you very much, from the bottom of our hearts.
A believer
Gary,
We have talked on the phone a few times. I have a 15 year old son that used to have ischial apophysitis. As a result of being directed to your product through a lot of praying for wisdom about what to do for my son, Oscon was the answer. Now, my 12 year old son is plagued by a heel condition. I am not sure if it is Severs. However, I ordered Oscon for him to see if it helps. I know that if it is Severs, it will help him. If it is not Severs, I know it won’t hurt him. The cost of the product is much less than a doctor visit, especially when all they will have him do is stretch his calves. THANK YOU for your development of this product as my 15 year old son’s baseball season was saved because of taking this product. I have all the confidence in you and your product (Oscon).
I received my first supply of Oscon Tablets approx. one month ago and my twelve year old son began to take them.
He has reported a definite improvement in the pain in his knee and has continued with his soccer and athletics although he has cut down on his activities!! (He could normally do two or three different sports in one day, perhaps ¾ hours of training!!) He ices the knee as soon as possible after each training session or activity, and all was going well, until this weekend when he started to complain about a pain in his knee again, rather than stiffness, which was his most recent symptom. However he did play his last soccer match for the season this weekend and his team won the cup, after extra time, so it was a pretty strenuous game. I intend to order a second supply of Oscon this evening so hopefully he is on the mend!!!
Many thanks for your help and advice.
Gary,
We used your product about 2 years ago with great success. My daughter used the 2-a-day regimen for about 2 months during a growth spurt (about 4” in 6 months) and then 1 per day the third month and no complaints of pain thereafter. In the past week or two, she is complaining of pain again. I think she is experiencing another growth spurt. We are counting on Oscon to work as it did in the past. Thanks for a great product.
Dear Gary,
Thank you so much for your website regarding Osgood-Schlatter. My 10 y/o Granddaughter Taryn noticed much improvement in her pain with the first week of starting Oscon. She plays on a traveling competitive fast-pitch softball team and we are “AMAZED” at the difference in her. We honestly thought she was going to have to quit playing. I ordered a second bottle for our security which we will reduce to 1 a day. Again we sincerely thank you! When Taryn was diagnosed we were told there was nothing that could be done for her and that she would probably have to quit sports all together until she out grows this.
We are so happy to have found Oscon and you will never know how much we appreciate you!
Thank You & God Bless
Sincerely,
Hello Gary,
My son, Ryan, has finished his second month of Oscon, and we wanted you to know that the results have been no less than miraculous. He had been to the point where his heels were causing him such pain, that he could not run or play soccer. While he continues to experience “a little” discomfort during a soccer game, it does not slow him down.
My question is this. He is headed to Brazil on June 16 for 10 days of straight soccer. Do you recommend a third course of Oscon, or should the residual effect carry him through? Is there any danger in continuing to take the supplement?
Thank you.
Dear Gary-
I want to “Thank you” for the 2nd bottle of Oscon! Half way thru it, my daughter no longer complained of that knee and wanted to stop taking the Oscon. She even started practicing her gymnastics again. Her other knee still bothers her when active. We did see a new doctor and I wasn’t impressed at all. The doctor did not even look at where the pain was and said she has pain because of OS and needs to quit softball. The doctor did put her on an anti-inflammatory again and told her she should focus on gymnastics and see another doctor after she competes at Nationals in June if she still has some pain. We have not seen a “bump” on the other knee yet. I even mentioned to the doctor to check for “flat feet” like you suggested, but she didn’t feel it was necessary. We still need to figure out the 2nd knee, but I am so relieved to see the 1st knee is doing ok. It is wonderful to see my daughter back in some things without the “tears” and the “pain of walking” after an activity. Hopefully we can figure out the 2nd knee too! Thank you for everything you have done!
Hi Gary!
Kaley has been taking the Oscon for about 10 days. She played 3 soccer games in a tournament over the weekend. She hasn’t been able to play in any long tournaments for the last 6 months. Yes, after your phone call, I was inspired. She is getting better. I can’t wait for the 30 day mark, because it seems like she is on track to feeling better just like you said. I am so thankful for your personal phone call and care. We have felt so down about her knees. Kaley is really excited since LPT’s are in a few weeks and she will be able to get through some long soccer weekends thanks to you and your help. I really thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring enough to call me. ………..She has had some acid reflux in the mornings, but, she gets that easily……… She is very sensitive to so much and it’s been great having no side effects just like you said.
I will keep you posted at the 30 day mark. And I am already telling people and they are waiting to see how Kaley does, then you will probably have more thankful people contacting you in the future! Thanks so much again, if you wouldn’t have called I don’t know if I would have tried Oscon or not. You are an awesome gift to us from heaven above!!!
Hello Gary,
Sam has been taking OSCON for 12 days now and there has been a definite improvement – he says its feeling better everyday. Although he hasn’t played any sport yet – we have decided not start soccer yet, as they are coming up to a 2 week break in the season (for our school holidays) so thought he would start after that. But he did go for a long bike ride on the weekend and his knee only ached a little for a couple of hours afterwards, compared to aching a lot for a few days when he did the same ride about a month ago.
I wasn’t sure whether to order a second bottle or not – I am thinking probably yes, as his OS was quite severe in the early stages?
I was also wondering how he was likely to go when he starts back at athletics in October – as Sam is a high jumper and Hurdler and the OS is in his take off knee, and I am worried all the stress on his knee might bring the OS back – have you had any success stories from other jumpers? (A. Yes, especially gymnasts.)
Thanks
My daughter is 13 and finishing up her 7th grade year. She has been very active all her life, having danced since the age of 2, played soccer from 4 to 10, and basketball the past few years. This year she was a cheerleader and played volleyball, basketball and ran track, all for her Jr. High. Less than a week into basketball season she began to complain of pain in left knee that exactly matched to symptoms of OS. A few days later she began to complain of a similar pain in her right knee. Having experienced a light case of OS myself as a teen, I began to research treatments, hoping to find that something better than RICE had been developed in the past 30 years. I was excited to read about Oscon and immediately ordered a bottle for my daughter. Even so, I must admit that my expectations were not too high. I simply hoped for some decrease in her symptoms. Imagine my excitement and surprise when she described a noticeable decrease in pain in less than a week. Within a second week her pain was completely gone! It is now the middle of May and even though she competed in the high jump and hurdles she has had no recurrence of OS.
Thanks a million! My daughter has had a very successful year and, more importantly, she has been able to enjoy it without the pain of OS.
Sincerely,
Gary,
What do you think about the continued use of Oscon? Would you recommend a break in the therapy? What is the usually the result when not on it? We have had such a great success with we are at the end of a one month therapy and are nervous to quit taking it?
Sharlene L., Utah 5/13/2005
My answer:
There are no problems with continuing use that I have experienced in 18 years of using the ingredients used in Oscon. The US NIH has published a “Upper Safe Levels” chart (see below) and Oscon is well within those guidelines. Selenium toxicity is rare in the U.S. The few reported cases have been associated with industrial accidents and a manufacturing error that led to an excessively high dose of selenium in a supplement [63,64]. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences has set a tolerable upper intake level (UL) for selenium at 400 micrograms per day for adults to prevent the risk of developing selenosis [12]. Table 4 lists ULs for selenium, in micrograms per day, for infants, children, and adults.
Table 4: Tolerable Upper Intake Levels for selenium for infants, children, and adults [12]
Age | Males and Females (µg/day) |
0 – 6 months | 45 |
7 – 12 months | 60 |
1-3 y | 90 |
4-8 y | 150 |
9-13 y | 280 |
14-18 y | 400 |
19 y + | 400 |
The Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine has set an upper tolerable intake level (UL) for vitamin E at 1,000 mg (1,500 IU) for any form of supplementary alpha-tocopherol per day. Based for the most part on the result of animal studies, the Board decided that because vitamin E can act as an anticoagulant and may increase the risk of bleeding problems this UL is the highest dose unlikely to result in bleeding problems.
Table 4 lists the Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) of vitamin E in mg ATE and IUs for children and adults (1 mg ATE vitamin E = 1.5 IU). A UL for vitamin E for infants up to 12 months of age has not been established.
Age (years) | Males (mg/day) | Females (mg/day) | Pregnancy (mg/day) | Lactation (mg/day) |
1-3 | 200 (=300 IU) | 200 (=300 IU) | N/A | N/A |
4-8 | 300 (=450 IU) | 300 (=450 IU) | N/A | N/A |
9-13 | 600 (=900 IU) | 600 (=900 IU) | N/A | N/A |
14-18 | 800 (=1,200 IU) | 800 (=1,200 IU) | 800 (=1,200 IU) | 800 (=1,200 IU) |
19-70 | 1,000 (=1,500 IU) | 1,000 (=1,500 IU) | 1,000 (=1,500 IU) | 1,000 (=1,500 IU) |
> 70 | 1,000 (=1,500 IU) | 1,000 (=1,500 IU) | N/A (=1,500 IU) | N/A (=1,500 IU) |
Although one month is likely to have solved the problem in about 80% of cases, if you would like to increase the chances to over 95%, you could use another (or MANY more) with no hazard. Some parents have ordered a second bottle and use it at the “maintenance” dose of 1/day. Then it will last 2 months. That is probably all that is needed. The condition may return in a few months, but that is the rare exception. If there is no pain during activity, there is no reason to continue at 2/day. The “bump” may stay tender for some time, however.

My son is now 18 and everyone told me that he couldn’t have Osgood-Schlatter but all symptoms were indicative of this disease. He has been taking your medication for almost a month now and is doing very well. He is on a High School team. Region III Team and Competitive team so he never rests. We are doing the second month as suggested and hopefully this will clear him completely.
Thank you!
I am a mother of an extremely athletic 11 year old boy. Carson began having problems with his heels during fall baseball last year 2003. We took him to the orthopedic doctor and after x-rays found out he had severs disease in his heels. The inflammation was extreme and they suggested as much rest as possible and ibuprofen for the pain. They said he could continue baseball as long as he could stand the pain. My son is very talented and wouldn’t hear of quitting. After the ball games he was in great pain and would really hurt. We made the decision for him that he would not play basketball that season. He began playing baseball in the spring and we played for four months straight. He fought through the pain again. Fall came and he begged to play football, and told us his heels were better. We gave in and watched him suffer, walking on his toes on and off the field and hurting worse than ever. The poor boy would have tears in his eyes, but he is so competitive we couldn’t get him to quit. Thats when I decided to do some research on my own via the internet. I found your website and ordered oscon I was desperate to help my son. We received it this spring, right about the time spring baseball was beginning. Wow!!! The product is great my son just completed his first bottle and is virtually pain free. He no longer walks around on his toes and is back to pitching and playing 1st base like a champ. When I ask how are your heels? He replys “great mom, great”. Thank you so much for this product. I am ordering a second bottle just for backup. Thank you again. As a mother it is so hard to see your child in pain and thanks to oscon there is a smile on his face when he comes off that field.
Gary,
This will be the 3rd bottle of Oscon that I have purchased for my son’s knee problem. Up to this point and not knowing what it would be like without the supplement, his prognosis has been very favorable. His ability to play catcher and squat for a length of time has gone from none, to an inning with pain, to as many as four innings twice per week with a minimal amount of discomfort after the game and the following day. His running and jumping is also gotten better. His pitching and landing on the front left leg with bending and slight twisting is done without a problem. We have no idea what it would be like without the supplement and can only compare it to a few kids of the same age that have a similar problem. This all happening within the last four months. Gary, my only question to you is how long should he stay on the supplement? All is very favorable and in fact my son feels that if it was not for Oscon we probably would not be this far ahead of the game.
Thanks
Gary,
Oscon has helped Kaden so much we are spreading the word. Thanks for your help !
Gary,
Please accept this letter with many thanks.
My 13 year old son suffered from Osgood-Schlatter. An internet search showed Oscon as a potential cure. Your product did exactly as you suggested. Reduction of pain within 2 weeks. Elimination of all symptoms just after 4 weeks. As a highly competitive young athlete, Graeme is now able to compete without pain in hockey and baseball and his favorite pastime (which he had to give up due to pain) skateboarding. In fact according to the chiropractor and physiotherapist that saw him, they figure that was the main cause of the pain as it was on one leg more than the other. I would highly recommend your product to anyone looking to help their children become pain free through safe and effective means.
All the best to you and your company!
Regards,
Gary,
I just wanted to respond back that we have been THRILLED with the results of the OSCON. My 12 year-old daughter is very active in sports and has been complaining of this knee pain for over a year. We thought we were going to have to just suffer in pain until she outgrew it. I finally did some research on the Internet and came across your website. I felt that the OSCON was worth a try. Every week I would ask on a scale from 1-10 how her knee felt and every week it has gotten better and better. She has completed the 30 day supply and as your email states still has a painful bump but at least she is able to compete in her sports relatively pain-free. I have already sent your website address to several other moms whose kids seem to be having the same problem. My husband is a junior high coach and has been impressed with the results also. He intends to recommend this to his young athletes who are also having the same problems.
Thanks again!!
Gary-
Jake finished the bottle of Oscon and it definitely worked for him. He did notice the bump didn’t hurt after only a few days. He’s going to be 13 soon and is very active. He plays basketball almost everyday for at least an hour. We know the remedy for Osgood is partially to go easy on that joint during this time. It’s seems impossible for Jake so Oscon has been a great help. Thank you so much! We’ll be placing more orders as needed and sharing our experience with other parents who may have a similar need.
Sincerely,
Dear Gary:
Our son, David, has been suffering for quite some time from Osgood-Schlatter. He is 15 years old and is very active, playing both varsity basketball and sophomore baseball. He is playing one or both of these sports all year long. His knee pain really became unbearable during this past basketball season. We tried everything before trying Oscon. Friends of ours had the same problem with one of their sons and used Oscon successfully. We researched the product as much as possible before allowing David to take it, even asking our family doctor about it. The doctor said ‘fine’, so we used an unopened bottle from our friends and then ordered more.
Bottom line is…David took Oscon twice per day for 6 weeks. He began feeling better during basketball while taking the Oscon. The season ended while he was finishing up his 6 weeks of taking the pills—he is now involved in baseball. He says his knees feel great, other than when you push on the bumps below his kneecaps. Early in the basketball season, like November of 2004, he could barely walk up and downstairs in our house without putting most of his weight on the railing. It is great to see him feeling so much better now. My wife and I just wanted to give you feedback on this product, as I am sure it benefits you to hear about results. I would recommend it to anyone with similar problems. By the way, there were also no side effects at all that we could tell. I hope this information is helpful to you. Thank you for a great product!
Hey Gary,
I have ordered a second course for my daughter who is a gymnast and has Severs. She is doing much better with her heels, she still ices every night and where her tuli’s heel guards for practice, but the difference in the pain is practically gone. She was to the point that she could hardly walk after practice, to coming home and questioning whether she should still ice or not. One of the main reasons for the second dose is she is also having Osgood-Schlatter signs in one knee. She is 12 ½ and has about a 2 inch growth period over the past 3-4 months. I have waited until now to discuss this product with any of the other parents to make sure it was working. Thank you again for your “miracle” cure.
Mr. Nelson,
Oscon has been the best thing for my son. We can’t believe it. He has Osgood-Schlatter’s. He’s almost 15 and this last six months has been really hard on him. I didn’t find out about Oscon until I just went surfing the internet and thought we would try it. It’s been a miracle. He plays high school soccer and soccer for a club team so he is in pain a lot. But NO more.
I just ordered his 2nd bottle and received your message on shipping. I will look forward to him not having to take it but we will see what happens then.
There was another guy on his soccer team that has it also and has been in a lot of pain too. We told him about Oscon and they ordered some and couldn’t believe it either. I was so happy for him and glad it worked for him since we told them about Oscon.
I just want to say “THANK YOU” for this. It has made his life easier and able to keep playing soccer which he loves. Also, I hated to see him hurting which any parent would. If you need to put any of this message on your website – you have my permission. Keep up the great work.
Dear Gary,
Zachary has 9 days of Oscon left to take. His knees are much better, actually there is a huge improvement and they are not sore to the touch anymore. He says that they are a little sore sometimes after playing volleyball but nothing like before. He is also biking again and biked about 15-20 km. yesterday and his knees felt fine.
We are so pleased that we ordered your product. I am always a bit skeptical about the internet but figured that we had nothing to lose (but a bit of money) and everything to gain if your product worked.
Now, we are wondering if Zachary should stay on Oscon for another 30 days after his supply runs out. Our Dr. did say that he hadn’t seen a knee as swollen as his in a very long time (it later affected his other knee). We would appreciate some advice on what to do. His knees seem to be fairly swollen still or do you think that this might be the “bump” that was mentioned in your information.
Anyways, we would appreciate some feedback as to our course of action from here. Thank you very much for everything so far.

Hi Gary,
My daughter Chelsea, 12, is going on her 2nd 30 days of Oscon. Although she is still having knee pain, I have noticed that she is doing things that she could not do at all a few months ago like running and tumbling (she is on an All-Star Cheerleading Squad). Am hoping that this 2nd 30 days will do the trick as it has been quite frustrating dealing with the Osgood Schlatter and all the money I have spent taking her to chiro, physical therapy, ibuprofen, ice, etc. etc. over the past 2 years.

Greetings,
I wanted to write and tell you about the significant difference the knee braces have made for my son, Kyle. He has worn them to play 2 indoor games and when we watch him there is a noticeable difference in his level of play because the pain he has been dealing with the past year has been reduced. Thanks you!!! I wish someone would have shared this information sooner with us instead of watching him struggle to play through the pain. We have done some research into your Oscon product and have decided to purchase one bottle in hopes of totally eliminating the inflammation associated with the Osgood Schlatters. I myself have been dealing with tibia tendonitis and wondered if this product could help with this issue also.
Sincerely,
Dear Gary,
I have posted the info on Oscon on the Leon Paul Fencing Forum and have “spread the word” verbally at competitions. Nat won his first National series age-group competition after returning after 10 months, and the following week came 7th in the British U-16 Championship @ the age of 14. He will soon (x fingies!) be back to full fight fitness – some twinges, ice seems to sort them.
Hi Gary,
My son Marc is a gymnast and was diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter at the end of January. He was the Regional New England Champion last year for Class 5. Marc practices 4 hours a day, 5 times a week. He was limping around and his knee was extremely swollen and painful. His coach thought that he should lay off some of the events, especially vault and floor. Landings on vault were extremely painful. His landings on rings, high bars and pommel seemed to be bearable. Marc did not want to miss the season, so I started to research on the web and found Oscon. Several years ago, my daughter had missed most of the season because of the pain of Osgood-Schlatter. In fact, I have seen many gymnasts with Osgood-Schlatter during my 12 years in which both my daughter and son have competed in gymnastics. Many have been sidelined using the “RICE” method for many months.
We started taking your supplement and after about 6 days the swelling started to go down. Marc said that his knee was less painful and he could walk without limping. We attended a National meet in Las Vegas after only being on Oscon for a little over a week. He competed in four events without any pain and swelling.
It is now been a month and Marc has started doing all events without any difficulty. He remains pain free except for the “bump” as you stated. He will be competing on March 11th at the State competition and again at the Regional competition on March 26th. I am truly amazed at his recovery. We have decided to continue the Oscon until after his competitions to insure that his knee is totally healed. By the way, when I mentioned this supplement to his orthopedist, he said it was all right to use it but was very skeptical that it would help.
In the past few years I have used supplements for myself and my husband, who has suffered a stroke during brain surgery. If you know of anything that might help him (he has nerve damage and experiences tightness constantly in his neck and back) please let me know. Right now he has constant pain and so far we have not found anything to help him. He does not take any pain medication and has physical therapy 2X a week.
Please feel free to use any of my statements on your web site and I will spread the word to all gymnasts about your supplement. It is so rare to find something that really works exactly as stated.
Thanks again and I’ll let you know Marc’s progress at State and Regionals.
Greetings,
I wanted to write and tell you about the significant difference the knee braces have made for my son, Kyle. He has worn them to play 2 indoor games and when we watch him there is a noticeable difference in his level of play because the pain he has been dealing with the past year has been reduced. Thanks you!!! I wish someone would have shared this information sooner with us instead of watching him struggle to play through the pain. We have done some research into your Oscon product and have decided to purchase one bottle in hopes of totally eliminating the inflammation associated with the Osgood Schlatters. I myself have been dealing with tibia tendonitis and wondered if this product could help with this issue also.
Sincerely,
Dear Gary,
I have posted the info on Oscon on the Leon Paul Fencing Forum and have “spread the word” verbally at competitions. Nat won his first National series age-group competition after returning after 10 months, and the following week came 7th in the British U-16 Championship @ the age of 14. He will soon (x fingies!) be back to full fight fitness – some twinges, ice seems to sort them.
Hi Gary,
My son Marc is a gymnast and was diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter at the end of January. He was the Regional New England Champion last year for Class 5. Marc practices 4 hours a day, 5 times a week. He was limping around and his knee was extremely swollen and painful. His coach thought that he should lay off some of the events, especially vault and floor. Landings on vault were extremely painful. His landings on rings, high bars and pommel seemed to be bearable. Marc did not want to miss the season, so I started to research on the web and found Oscon. Several years ago, my daughter had missed most of the season because of the pain of Osgood-Schlatter. In fact, I have seen many gymnasts with Osgood-Schlatter during my 12 years in which both my daughter and son have competed in gymnastics. Many have been sidelined using the “RICE” method for many months.
We started taking your supplement and after about 6 days the swelling started to go down. Marc said that his knee was less painful and he could walk without limping. We attended a National meet in Las Vegas after only being on Oscon for a little over a week. He competed in four events without any pain and swelling.
It is now been a month and Marc has started doing all events without any difficulty. He remains pain free except for the “bump” as you stated. He will be competing on March 11th at the State competition and again at the Regional competition on March 26th. I am truly amazed at his recovery. We have decided to continue the Oscon until after his competitions to insure that his knee is totally healed. By the way, when I mentioned this supplement to his orthopedist, he said it was all right to use it but was very skeptical that it would help.

O.K. Initial response on reading of Oscon? Scepticism ! Had done a lot of research into the problem as our son – 13, fanatical sabre fencer, British U-14 Sabre Champion, National Series Champion , good placings in adult competitions, British Cadet team , etc…. – suddenly collapsed in training. OSGOODS STRIKES !
But, 10 months later, he’s back – and winning.
He was lucky to have a great sports injury physio,and he kept working the joint – v. important – and things were improving, but after 7 months, all agreed to try Oscon.
In 10 days, the localised swelling around the knee went down fairly dramatically, a brace came into play, and good training started, and “lights” and “tunnels” were talked about. We used 2 month’s supply, no more, as per your recommendations.
Now, we all know the chance of coincidence, etc…. but I saw the effects, and am convinced the Oscon definitely shortened recovery time.
Just to let you know my son was struggling with osgood for the last year we have tried lots of things for it as he is very active in sports especially bb, he responded very well to the oscon, and can know play all 4 quarters with only sitting out for about 3 minutes to give others some playing time! It has worked great for us!!!!

With my hectic schedule I have not been able to let you know that your product is a god send. My son who was experiencing tremendous pain due to Osgood-Schlatter is now having little to no pain. For a while there we thought he would have to give up playing soccer and other sports activities. With your Oscon product he is able to continue playing soccer which he loves. Thank you very much for making this product available.
Sincerely,
Dear Gary,
Lots to tell you!! We have just arrived home from our annual skiing trip with friends in Switzerland. Douglas skied the whole week with very little pain and no increased inflammation in his knees. Up to 10 days before we went, we were all pretty sure he wasn’t going to be able to participate in what is one of the highlights of our holiday year. I can’t begin to thank you enough for your help, and for Oscon. Quite why every paediatrician, physiotherapist, orthopaedic consultant and family GP isn’t recommending Oscon to all the kids who suffer from OS, is beyond me. It really does work and, boy, was I sceptical at the outset!! Even though Douglas isn’t completely pain free yet, his quality of life has been IMMEASURABLY improved – his confidence is right back up, he’s playing squash again and is hopeful that another cricket season may also be within his grasp!! All of this was unimaginable 6 weeks ago – our heartfelt thanks and I shall be telling everyone I can think of, to whom it might be helpful, about Oscon.
Thank you, too, for sending the second supply of Oscon which was here on our arrival home.
Finally, do you think it advisable for Douglas simply to keep taking the Oscon to ensure that the symptoms don’t reoccur? If yes, it would probably be more sensible for me to buy the Oscon in slightly larger quantity. Please advise. Best wishes,
Gary,
Matt has had good results to this point, two weeks after his original episode with osgood schlatter. His left knee is feeling much better to the point that he participated in his first basketball game since the injury. This past Saturday he went through practice with his team with good results. He says that he is about 85-90%. Today Sunday he had a good work out with his pitching coach with no pain landing on the left leg. Then later that day played in basketball game. He has been wearing a brace that supports the patella tendon. I ice him down for about 20 min, twice after his game. He worked out at catcher but the squatting hurts the knee too much. We will keep you posted.
Thanks,
Dear Gary,
Good news, Jenny’s knees both fine now took 3 weeks for right knee this time but no pain now. Thank you !
Do you think it could flare up if she starts doing leg strength again? British finals in 3 weeks. Let you know how she does
Thanks again,
Gary,
The difference in my son’s knee is unbelievable. He wore the knee brace with all activities and took the Oscon as directed. Within 10 days of taking the Oscon there was a big difference in the pain level and by day 20 the pain was gone!!!! He only has one more day on the Oscon. My son preferred the OS Sleeve while playing basketball and the strap for baseball. Thank you so much for your guidance. I have directed other moms to your site.
Thanks again,
Thanks for the information on Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease. My son is about done with the 30 day supply (2/day) of Oscon and is doing great. The pain is gone but there is still some tenderness on the bump. He plays tennis and runs and seems to be back to normal. I don’t know if it was the Oscon or icing the knee after activity. I will keep him on the Oscon (one per day) until the supply runs out.
Thanks again.
Dear Gary
We are quietly optimistic (very English). The knees are definitely less inflamed and Douglas is moving better than I have seen for months. He still has quite a lot of pain but everything is relative. The swelling has definitely decreased considerably in the last week and I am hopeful that perhaps progress will continue. However, we are coming to the end of the first course of Oscon and would like to continue
Thank you so much for your help and we really are thrilled that at last something appears to be at least alleviating the symptoms. He’s not yet back to sport but……here’s hoping.
Dear Gary,
I apologize for never getting back to you about the effects the Oscon had for our daughter. We just went to the doctor the other day & found out she has grown 6 inches in the last 6 months. We weren’t extremely surprised. She also just turned 12 in January. She had started off the beginning of this school year with her first season of cross country. She also loves basketball. She is in her second season of this sport this year & is anxiously waiting to try out for track in March. She’s your ‘prime suspect’ for all the symptoms that lead us to you. I want you to know that the Oscon seemed to make a difference. I only say ‘seem’ because we were doing everything possible all at the same time. Ice, the band below her knee, rest (when we could get her to!)… You know the routine! I really do think that the Oscon helped. I can’t believe it’s not something EVERYONE in sports doesn’t know about & use when it’s needed. I’ve told MANY people about it & will continue to whenever I hear of the same problems occurring for others. I can’t thank you enough. Not only for your product, but for your sincere concern & effort to make this product available to everyone. I so appreciate what you did to get it to us so quickly, too.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Just want to thank you.
This stuff works! Pain is gone life is good!
Mr. Nelson,
My 16 year old son has now been taking OSCON for almost three weeks. He was in excruciating pain. He almost had to sit out of soccer. He could barely get out of his truck and walk into the house after soccer practice. He now has zero pain in his knees after being on OSCON. This product is awesome!!! Does he need to continue and finish the bottle? (ans: Yes!) Should he take more than the one bottle? (ans: only if pain returns) I have spent thousands of dollars on doctor visits and x-rays, and MRI’s and nothing else has worked. Thank you so much!!
Dear Gary,
Well … it has been a couple of months since my son Brent finished his second bottle of Oscon. He now claims that his knees are not bothering him anymore and the pain is pretty much gone. I appreciated all the help and information you provided for me over the telephone and via e-mail and I thank you very much for your wonderful product. I have also told a few other parents about Oscon; so they might have already contacted you.
Anyways, thanks again and Take Care !
Hi, Gary.
I received the kit for Melissa, the gymnast. She took the vitamins and the brace helped her right away. She was able to compete that weekend in Vegas. I would like to purchase another brace for her other knee. We had some others on back order before we got yours, and she didn’t like them at all. I was surprised to see so many girls at the meet with similar straps.
Thanks for your help.
Hi, my daughter has been using Oscon for 2 months for Sever’s in her heel.. The pain has subsided tremendously, not gone completely, but much better. How long do you recommend she take it, can she take it for longer periods of time, say 6 mos? or is that not recommended. Thank you for the info. P.S. She is a competitive gymnast who works out every day 4 hours, 5 days a week.
Dear Gary
The cheque was sent on 12th January 2005. My son has already shown an improvement after only a week. Many thanks for your help.
Kind regards
Hi,
My son is almost done with his first 30 day supply of Oscon. While he missed a day periodically he has taken them on his own once he noticed a difference. He has not complained about knee pain since about the 18th day. I am very happy with the results as they were exactly as stated. No misrepresentation of the product. A refreshing change. I will give him another 2-3 weeks to ensure he has received the full benefits of Oscon. At that time I will write a final recap and update.
Thanks,
This is our second shipment. My son has taken it for a month and it has seemed to help tremendously. We thought just to be sure we would have him take it for one more month. We also ordered the strap to protect the bump on his knee from accidents while playing sports. Thanks for developing the “miracle” that my son needed to get back on the basketball court. 🙂
Dear Mr. Nelson,
My name is Kim M., I ordered a two month supply of Oscon from you and my 14 year old son has been taking it for two weeks now, so far there has been a significant change in the pain he experiences playing basketball. Thank you for this product.
Sincerely,
