Not all lectins.
Which ones cannot be regulated by the body?
When the immune system is compromised, as in certain autoimmune conditions,
or there is a deficiency of lectins... (= also due to autoimmune disorders)
So, again, that is no reason why people in general should avoid all lectin consumption.
Lectins are everywhere, including in some fruits and all animal foods.
In as much as that some people are allergic to specific fruits,
and that this is no reason why other people should avoid those fruits.
Glucosamine is an effect supplement providing relief for those suffering from arthritic pain ...
I won't speak to the safety of such supplements as I haven't seen much of the clinical data yet.
It may be effective.
Regarding long term safety: like with all drugs there are risks.
Supplementary glucosamine intake increases cell death rate of pancreatic β-cells
( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20923823 )
which in the long term may causes diabetes.
