Questioning anyone's integrity is irrelevant when we're only talking about a fact he taught me: that glucosamine is made into sialic acid in the liver which binds to cells and blocks inflammatory lectin.
So, glucosamine supplements and dietary consideration seems like a good thing, but may be just a band-aid in light of microbes degrading sialic acid with their own enzymes, then making their own lectins which bind to our cells . . . wreaking havoc including the blocking of glucose which leads to diabetes. Microbes such as bacteria coat their own bodies in sialic acid, apparently stealing it from our cells.
Glucosamine is not just from bones and crustacean shells as most believe, probably derived via microbial fermentation in the gut from lots of foods. Have you ever heard of vegetarian glucosamine via fermented corn or wheat?

The point is glucosamine isn't just about diet, but microbial fermentation in the gut. And because of the way the gut affects the eyes and brain, we shouldn't be surprised to see in the news that eye problems are rapidly rising all over the world. In India there is a glaucoma epidemic.
Also, there's a knee replacement epidemic which cannot be explained by this 2012 study: "Population growth and obesity cannot fully explain the rapid expansion of total knee replacements in the last decade, suggesting that other factors must also be involved." The reason may be explained by malabsorption of nutrients such as glucosamine and the gut-knee connection. http://jbjs.org/article.aspx?articleid=334913
Experts say 600% increase by 2020 for total knee replacement. 2020 CDC projection: as many as 1 in 3 diabetic in USA, enough to cripple our economy based on cost of healthcare. How many amputations will it take and how many will go blind from diabetic retinopathy before we respect our status as superorganisms? Science itself is blind, chalking-up the matter to genes, caught in the headlights. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Diabet...isk-2020-unitedhealth-group/story?id=12238602
Like most things, you can apparently get too much glucosamine (SIBO?) causing diabetes: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/10/101027111349.htm
So, with a body fermenting too much glucosamine there may be too much heparin releasing too much DAO enzyme causing low histamine which causes a lot of stress and neurological issues:

There doesn't seem to be much science about low histamine, it's more like astrology. Antihistamine side effects include blurred vision, worsening glaucoma and constipation.
