Peter,
As an avid CS user, I have not had any luck in the arthritis dept with CS.  I 
originally tried CS to aliviate the arthritis by using therapeutic doses for 
two months. No change. I do know others have tried CS for pain in joints and 
it has helped.
I will say that when I made a change in my diet to a more balanced program 
which included cottage cheese and flax oil, plus CS, some of the small sun 
spots I had literally peeled off with fresh skin underneath. Rather amazing 
to me. 
Some time ago Brooks posted a suggested protocol on arthritis, you might want 
to check the archives.
