Synvisc contains formaldehyde in permissible levels, but apparently the FDA does not require Genzyme to disclose that information to the patient. Some may say that formaldehyde's half-life is short, yet before it metabolizes, it can leave a wave of destruction in its wake. And if you are chemically sensitive, even permissible levels of a chemical can be deadly. Don't count on your physician to take your health into consideration before saying, "You're a good candidate for Synvisc injections."

Formaldhyde activates NMDA. Formaldehyde also stimulates the brain vanilloid receptor. This receptor induces sensitization by activating the NMDA receptor, and increasing nitric oxide, which then increases perioxynitrite, and sets in motion neural sensitization. Vanilloid stimulation also increases the release of immune substance P...which is associated with reactive airway disease.

Trust me, the end result is NOT WORTH THE INJECTION.
