Dana Vinegar is acidic and will not help in reducing acid waste deposits as far as I know. Drinking alkaline water however, will in time help dissolve these deposits, and will also add oxygen to the system, further improving health.
http://www.alkalife.com/ gives some explanations for these effects in the science and health section. They also sell a water alkalising supplement. Brooks Bradley has posted a protocol that has been effective in treating arthritic conditions. I take the liberty of reposting them now. Regards - Ivan =========================== Hello Mr. Fairchild. My name is Brooks Bradley. I am one of the principals in a non-profit, charitable, research group conducting activities in several areas----one being various treatment protocols involved in experimental procedures for relieving the effects of arthritic conditions. Without elaborating upon our current studies, I will take a moment to outline an experimental protocol we are presently using.......which is simple, inexpensive and ENORMOUSLY PROMISING. Our volunteer experimental subjects (6) are all older human males, ranging in age from 71 to 81 years of age; and suffering from varying degrees of degenerative arthritis.....most especially in the knees and shoulder joints. The protocol used on all six subjects is as follows: Glucosamine Sulphate (500mg)/chondroitin(400mg) combination tablet----one each 3 times daily: One 285mg capsule of Microhydrin (silicon hydride specially processed), twice daily----a one-time course of CMO (cetyl myristoleate from animal sources) comprised of 60 capsules administered at the rate of 6 every twenty-four hours. There are some special dietary considerations to be employed while taking the CMO. This is especially applicable to consuming very little meat during the 10 day program, and to maintaining a one-hour window before any meal---and/or a two-hour window AFTER a meal......when taking a dose of CMO. Our preliminary results have been nothing short of ASTOUNDING. T his is especially true relating to pain relief and joint mobility. In almost every case there has been a very substantial increase in the synovial fluid....IN ALL MAJOR ARTICULATING JOINTS. We have been astonished at the degree of pain relief among the volunteers, especially considering the degree of cartilage loss and lack of lubrication present in the more severely stressed joints. I AM THE 71 YEAR OLD SUBJECT IN THIS TEST PROGRAM., and the relief I gained within the first 21 days, from two severely compromised knees, is almost unbelieveable. If you are interested in possibly invoking a similar protocol, I can refer you to several sites on the internet that are reliable sources for CMO (we have used two of them and gotten very satisfactory products from them). You can procure Glucosamine Sulphate/Chondroitin Complex from any /Super Walmart , in the pharmacy section----without a prescription (It is a naturally occuring substance in the human body and is comlpletely non-toxic). The CMO protocol STOPS the degeneration process through turning off the rampant T-4 cells in the articulating joint capsule areas---it is not a pain-killer or repair medium, but does a wonderful job of allowing the body's immune system to start rectifying the damage. The Glucosamine/Chondroitin Complex DOES promote both connective tissue regeneration and synovial fluid volume increase. This substance is a very powerful PAIN REDUCER in articulating joints. Ours is a humanitarian effort. We are very well funded; do not solicit--OR ACCEPT---outside contributions for our work. We have discovered that these two protocols work quite synergistically----together. Feel free to email me if you are interested in possibly employing a similar protocol----EXPERIMENTALLY, in conjunction with your VOLUNTEER friend. I will be more than happy to assist you in your search . Sincerely. Brooks Bradley. Dear List members. Due to the overwhelming email traffic generated by my "accidental" on-list posting (1/5/99), I am taking this opportunity to pass on information on an ancillary procedure we have added to the basic protocol utilized in our original evaluations. While I have previously given this information to several people via private email, in an effort to convey this information to all of the rest....at one time, I will outline the modification now. This mod involved the addition of MSM (Methyl Sulphonyl Methane)[three #2 capsules daily), plus two proteolytic enzymes (bromelain---40mg; and papain---50mg), administered as one tablet each, three times daily. Ideally, these are taken simultaneously with the Glucosamine/Chrondroitin complex tablets. All volunteers in our study take their GS/Chrondroitin tablets at meal-time. One interesting, serendipitous, result of this latter addition is---the virtual elimination of digestive difficulties in All of the subjects adding this modification. This protocol modification has resulted in an approximately 30% increase in overall effectivity---especially in response speed---as compared to the controls. UPDATE P.S. Based upon the continuing portion (long-term analysis) of our earlier, geriatrically-based, arthritis study, I am most pleased to report that evidence of regeneration of damaged CARTILAGENOUS tissue seems to be---dramatic---in some cases. e.g. One 74 year old male with severely compromised knee joints (with constant and severe lateral dis-location problems) and suffering from painful...complete dislocation...of the left knee 4 to 6 times daily; has enjoyed a frequency reduction down to an average of ONCE every two or three days. Additionally, he is totally pain free in this joint----while abstaining from all pain relieving drugs. Formerly, he was on a "pain maintenance" prescription involving the equivalent of 8 eight aspirin daily. A dangerous circumstance requiring continuous vitamin K supplements. And this, after 35 years of constant immobility and discomfort. Although this is anectdotal---and a single case, statistically; it is a 100% marvel to the gentleman involved. Sincerely.
