I take turmeric, it's an anti inflammatory/analgesic and it works works great for me. And it's non toxic. I have a lot of back and neck problems due to being rear ended four times in 10 years. Glucosamine and MSM with vit C do wonders for me as well, they take a little longer to see results than the turmeric does, anywhere from two weeks to three months of use. They are non toxic too. And Emu oil applied over the area is an effective anti inflammatory and analgesic as well. DMSO is a great pain reducer and anti inflammatory. But some people prefer using other things first because of the garlicky body odor it can produce.

If you have muscle spasms, kava kava works wonders, it's a mild muscle relaxant. The liquid extract tastes nasty but it's worth it for the relief. It works in less than thirty minutes if you take it on an empty stomach. Don't take it frequently if you use a lot of Tylenol or other meds that are routed through the liver. Or if you drink alcoholic beverages every day. It over burdens the liver, and that can make more problems than it solves.


There are a multitude of different herbs, mushrooms, and supplements that work for inflammation, try a google search for anti inflammatory supplements, or herbs. You might have to try a few things out, and maybe different combinations of things, because what works for me may not work as well for you. And a lot of these use different metabolic pathways in the body to work.

Anti oxidants such as Pycnogenol, or ALA, and Acetyl L Carnitine may be beneficial in controlling the progression. And you might benefit from K2 supplementation, along with Vit D3 and calcium, along with vitamine C.

To reduce stress and cortisol levels I'd suggest one of the Ginsengs. Rhodiola Rosea or Jiaogulan. But there are other adaptogens that might work better for you.

Those gravity tables that you hang upside down on, have helped a lot of people with back problems. :) It reverses the constant downward pull of gravity on the spine.

I dunno if my blathering has helped any at all, but that's my .02 worth anyway:)

My wife has been diagnosed with arthritis of the spine, as confirmed by MRI. This causes her severe pain, compounded by the effects of fibromyalgia.

Question for list: CMO helps with arthritis of joints, and the spine is a series of connected joints. Does anyone know if CMO, or any other similar “medication”, can help with spinal arthritis?
Thanks,
