    Just FYI, 
    Since I began making my own CS a couple months ago, my 62 year old mother 
has been consuming 4-6 tablespoons of it daily.  She has suffered from 
rheumatoid arthritis (among many other things) for the past 15 years or so...  
and just had reconstructive surgery on one of her hands due to the incredible 
crippling that the arthritis caused.  She has been on every medication that her 
MD (I call him the 'quack') could think of (against my advice) and has never 
found anything that did much for her pain.  Often times she would be in so much 
pain that she literally could not stand up from a chair if she'd been sitting 
for a while.  The drug cocktail that she is on has greatly weakened her immune 
system and it took quite a bit of coaxing, but I finally persuaded her to at 
least give CS a try.  I am very pleased to say that while she still has an 
occasional "bad day," for the most part she is suffering FAR less from the pain 
associated with her arthritis.&nb! sp; Her pain levels have not been this low 
in several years.  I certainly cannot speak on all of the mechanisms at play 
here, but the CS is the only change she has made.  It also completely cleared 
up a skin infection in four days (topically - with soaked cotton balls) that 
she has had between her toes for 2 years -- that none of the prescription med's 
the doc gave her even touched. 

    FWIW,

  Try a mix of CS/DMSO (50/50) topically on the remaining pain.  It works 
wonders for my husband.
