I think that our excellent moderator, Mike, might want to keep a close
eye on discussions of this kind, for exactly the reasons you site

routine basis. We need to be careful about discussions of this kind,
which should go on the Off Topic list.

consider if not outright advise using WD-40 for the treatment of
arthritis and rheumatism I would not fault them.
One wonders why alt health has a difficult time recovering from and/or

association, puts CS in the same medical category as
WD-40........Folklore.
