   Hello Coffee,, I'm sorry I dont have any research on it. I've been wondering if there ever was any research on it.  I dont think there ever was.  I need bone fusion surgery on my left foot and my present orthpaedic surgeon just tells me, I only have a little arthiritis in my foot,  well,  when I spend just a little time on it it swells and when I take the pressure off of  it it hurts more than if I keep my foot on the floor.  I'll look around on the net and see what I can find out,, and get back to you ok?  Nice talking to you and hope you have a great day.    God Bless You,  Martha
