Hi Alan,
Despite citrus being a problem for some arthritis sufferers,
(nightshade also), fresh lemon juice metabolizes as alkaline in the
body and is an excellent way to help fight acidity. That said, it can
still etch tooth enamel before it's swallowed and digested, so lemon
water is best sipped through a straw. I squeeze at least a half a
lemon into my large Nalgene water bottle. It's one of the great ways
to alkalize. Don't use the prepared lemon juice from bottles, like
Realemon, etc.; just doesn't work the same way.
BTW, I read in an allergy book that a good way to test for allergy to
citrus, like orange juice, grapefruit, etc, and tomatoes, peppers,&
eggplant (all nightshade) it to take some Alka-seltzer GOLD (Amazon
carries it) and if you experience relief of joint pain within 20 min,
you have acidity issues from these foods. As a Lymie, I've also
noticed that ASG seems to reduce the intensity of herxes in the joints
for the same reason.
Be well,
Léna

I take lemon juice in my water all day. That has reduced arthritis

Try DMSO, its a horse liniment found at a tax store, where they sell
saddle's & cowboy stuff. I use it on myself, it works ! I am 71 so
far no side effect.

the post, what is anyone using for arthritis? Seems like I hurt all
over my whole body. I'm 73 years old, walking seems to help, I take
glucosamine chondroitin msm, and have for years. But I'm ready to try
something else, any suggestions? Thanks

Kathy,
This is my experience.....I was getting awful knobby hands, both
Heberden's Nodes and Bouchard's Nodes, as well as very painful knees
and hips. I have some arthritis in my spine too, etc. My fingers now
look almost normal. Joints are a bit large, and the twisting in my
index fingers is still present, but basically the knobs and
protrusions in the finger joints are pretty much gone. My knees and
hips are no longer painful, unless I eat wheat/gluten. FWIW, at my
worst a few years ago, I couldn't walk without 2 canes and a ton of
pain. My knees not only do not hurt, but they don't even crackle and
pop going up and down stairs.
I think what has produced my improvement is following the dietary
recommendations of Ray Peat. I no longer consume any vegetable/seed
oils (except for eating out once or twice a month). I don't use any
commercial mayonnaise or salad dressings anymore either. I consume
gelatin and collagen daily, about 30 grams a day on average. I drink
lots of milk, eat lots of cheese.........drink fruit juices and have
fruit, and use sugar all over the place. There is more to my story, of
course, but this covers the basics, LOL.
