Arthritis seems to travel in my family, both sides... I have had some in my hands, knees, and lower back mostly.
I have had good effect from glucosamine sulfate, recommended to me by my mother since she also had pretty good results from it. Have to take it regularly at a high enough dose for your condition. I took MSM for a short time which helped on the hands and back, but excruciatingly aggravated a swollen knee which I had injured previously. Don't know why that was... Took CMO for a month with no results... but I do have some liver/gallbladder issues which may account for that. Another thing which worked extremely well was drinking a lot of water. This is the 8 cups of water a day thing. I also had to add a quarter teaspoon of salt per quart for it to work. This is either an effect of flushing toxins out of the joints and/or increasing the fluid in the joints. This was particularly good for the lower back. I think if I had been drinking a large volume of water when I was taking the MSM, it may not have caused the problem with the knee. I don't drink this volume currently, maybe half that, but if the back flares up the salt and water takes care of it pretty quick. Took only two days the first time to relieve the back pain. I'm sure the zapper and colloidal silver doesn't hurt either. I don't have any arthritis problem currently that one would notice but I wouldn't do something like jumping rope ;-)). Use bromelain with water on an empty stomach for a couple of days for acute inflamation, strains, sprains, after roofing, after pounding nails for 5 hours on a Saturday, etc. Dan CS>Anti-inflammatory helps From: S&JY (view other messages by this author) Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2004 18:15:55 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As best I can determine, CS is not very effective in helping with joint inflammation & pain (e.g. from arthritis). But recently I read that the spice turmeric and an extract from it called curcumin have anti-inflammatory properties, allegedly due to their anti-histamine properties. Has anyone had experience using turmeric or curcumin (powder or capsules) to help with sore joints? If so, what were the results? Any other ideas for a "natural" treatment for arthritis? (This is a bit off-topic, so replies directly to me are fine). Thanks, --Steve Y. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
