Reid,

      Are you sure you aren't suffering from gout?  The symptoms are very 
similar.. pain and swelling of the big toe.

  Hi, Reid!
  FYI, my arthritis is gone, thanks to CMO. Even the bone spurs are gone.
  You might want to try it! I used the Duoflex brand. 
  I even used CMO on my old Pug dog, now she plays like a puppy again!

    Hi Everybody,
     
    I've been away for a long time and I'm glad to be back.  I'm fifty eight, 
with arthritis, and take triple strength glucosamine, and usually this works 
just fine.  But this past week I've had the characteristic pain and swelling of 
the joint at the right big toe.  I'm writing because I believe that I've had a 
lot of relief by using a salve of concentrated CS, and I'm hoping for any 
comments from the list.
     
    About three days into the pain, it wasn't quite as bad as it had been in 
the past, but then I noticed a lot of swelling.  I made a salve, starting with 
two soft-gels of vitamin A, and an equal amount of aloe vara, then I mixed to a 
paste.  I added concentrated, Mexican CS liberally, then I eyedroppered about 
six drops of DMSO.  Mixing was a bit laborious, like doing oil and vinegar, and 
I applied this over the inflamed area.
     
    After doing this once a day for three days, the inflamation was gone, and I 
could pretty much walk normally, without a limp!  What I do, after coating the 
area liberally is to cover with a small piece of plastic, then I tape this 
down, using duct tape.  This way I can take the dressing off after about six 
hours, and see that virtually all of the salve has been absorbed (via the DMSO)!
     
    Any comments would be appreciated.  I'm also keen to know the correct 
amount of DMSO to use, since some medical professioanls seem to believe that 
this will go straight to some vital organ or the other, bringing about damage.
     
    Thanks!
    Reid
    P.S. think about a trip to Mexico, to buy the concentrated CS, if for no 
other reason.
