Arthritus ??

[GhostHawk]

My wife and I have tried 2 remedys. Neither really helped my wife. She just could not stand the taste of one. And I don't think she stuck with the other long enough.

Concord Grape Juice and Certo Pectin. Mix, drink a glass daily.


Raisins (some say golden, I use plain old sun maid dark raisins) and gin.
Take a plastic container that will hold a cup or more of raisins. Cover it with Gin, get them raisins drunk. I add a couple of spoonfuls of honey.

Let it sit for 3-4 days, shaking once a day. Then start having a spoonful of raisin's and raisin flavored gin once a day.

For me, when my hip or shoulder flares it takes 2-3 days of heat and drunk raisins to knock it back out. If yours is bad it may take longer. But you should start seeing some changes after a week.

Mostly mine sits on the breadbox. But when I get a twinge I take a spoonful. One more the next morning and that ussually chases it away. Caveat this works for some people, not for others.

This will BURN in your mouth, it will light a fire. I chew those raisin's up well and swallow it down.
Chase it with a cold drink to get the taste out.

Some people I have heard use sloe-gin with success. I just bought a pint of cheap phillips gin and have half left after 10 years.

I added the honey because Honey is good for almost everything, and it seems to cut the fire down some. The longer it sits the smoother it gets. That first week can be pretty rough.

The last 3-4 years my arthritis has been mostly hiding. When it does flare normally its in my right hip. I'll spend a day or 2 sitting on a heating pad, eating drunk raisin's at least once a day, twice if it is bad.

I think on average I have seen only a single flare up each year for the last several years.

I don't know why it works, I just hope it works for you.

Google is your friend.

Take care brother Boaz!

10 mg of Mobic (Meloxicam) daily plus two 50 mg tramadol three times a day with some 7.5/325 Vicidon on an as needed basis but the Vicodin gets used sparingly. Been living with that arthritis devil for over 20 years now. I was a welder and heavy equipment mech for 40 years and it's no telling how many millions of time I flipped that danged welding hood using a quick jerk/nod of the head and neck, I simply wore out the vertebrae in my neck flipping that heavy old fashioned welding helmet. We didn't have those fancy lightweight electronic gizmos until I was ready to retire and it was too late for me by then.

I have taken everything from Percocet (got hooked on that junk once but never again) to most of the NSAIDS some of which were taken off the market due to causing health issues. I tried, and still use, some of the natural methods and while MSM/Chondroitin seems to have at least some benefit I never saw any improvement from anything else, but then that's was my experience and that type of treatment may very well help others so it's worth a try anyway. Give the MSM/Chondroitin a try for sure.

I was involved in a bad car accident 2 1/2 years ago since then I have been on bruffen and various pain meds from opioids for 18 months now on tramadol, I have been slowly weaning myself of all of them, the existing Arthritis reacted reacted well to the anti inflammatories but I decided to go off them because of the long term side effects, the only non med relief I get now is hot baths, I also use a lot of Turmeric in day to day cooking and that seems to help.

I was on Vicodin for over 20 years, had 5 sets of nerve ablations in my neck, 4 joints replaced. Got off the Vicodin, on 200mg of Celebrex a day and take 600 mg of Motrin at night to help me sleep if needed. Do have Voltaren gel and Lidocaine but use them sparingly.
I was a heavy equipment mechanic early in my life and retired at 55. I have to keep actively working on vehicles, house, etc. or the pain increases greatly. I think the wide range of movements needed to work on and under things helps to lessen the pain. Someday the pain will be gone.

Aleve works well for me but I don't take it more than three times a week to protect the liver and other organs. I like that cider vinegar idea.
