Guest guest Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I just saw this " arthritis remedy " in the alternative group... Maybe it is good? Ingrid I put an 8 oz. cup each of organic apple cider vinegar and honey along with eight cloves of raw garlic and pureed in my blender for 60 seconds. Poured that mixture into a glass jar and stored in refrigerator for 3 weeks. --- regehr2001 <leoelfie@...> wrote: > Anyone know of a treatment for osteoarthritis? > Thanks. > Leo > > ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Food fight?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Maybe you want to look into AlternativeAnswers I think I deleted the message about the " arthritis remedy " ... I am very happy that not eating nightshade vegetables (none at all) helped me very much. I am on a very special diet (also for my thyroid) and eat mainly greens and whole grains... no sweets at all, no processed foods... very little fresh fish... maybe that helps too. I also take calcium/magnesium/D... Maybe that helps... Ingrid > > > > Hi There Ingrid and all, What did you do with the > mixture after 3 > > wks??? Did you drink it all down???

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I have arthritis in my back, knees, and hands. The hands are the worst, though. I get cortisone injections periodically, and that helps a lot. Without the injections, I cannot even turn a doorknob. Pam Osteoarthritis How many of you have osteo with fibro?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I have osteoarthritis in every joint per a bone scan. My fingers for a while hurt like crazy, the only time I got relief was soaking in warm water. I did read that after a year the pain subsides, mine did except in the base of my thumbs, they won't do surgery until I get the deformities, the surgeon said he couldn't guarantee that the pain wouldn't be worse if they operated now. I take diclofenac for the pain, I do have lortab if I need it but hate to take it. I do have a thermopor heating pad that I use for back, neck, shoulder, knee pains. I do see a chiropractor for pain management as needed. I get either the activator or pulstar method as that is what is reccommended by the arthritis foundation for fibro and also by my rhuemy.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 *raises hand* though minor for me... i use lidoderm patches for when it's more bothersome, but other wise nothing else.. at times i would just ice or use an ace bandage in the evening to bring down the swelling... if the hands are a problem check for carple tunnel? blessed be, liz Brecker <davidbrecker@...> wrote: How many of you have osteo with fibro?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I have had 2 total knee replacements, 1 back surgery due to osteoarthritis. That was several years ago now. Right now it seems to be in my right thumb so writing is difficult but typing is not. I used to take Tramadol for pain but it left me with such a dry mouth I quit it but now take only Ibrprophen. I take Gabapentin at bedtime for rls and Temazepam for sleep. Dr put me on Cymbalta last week but so far it makes me nausiated. I am to go back in a few weeks to let her know if it is working. Haven't told her yet that the Temazepam and Gabapentin have quit working. Oh well. Such is life with fibro.Shirley Godbout Osteoarthritis How many of you have osteo with fibro?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I, too, have problems with osteo in most of my joints. I was recently told by a new rheumatologist that I also have " loose limbs " or joints - was sometimes called double-jointed, great for gymnasts (horrible for older people). She said that I would have problems with tripping, stumbling, etc., and that I probably thought it was clumsiness. I have had two surgeries on one wrist, but that only made things worse.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Look in our menu/files section for history of osteoarthritis if any. If you decide to try, please let us know how it goes, good luck, bG we should not say something helps or does not help at this point in research. > > I have just been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in both hips.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Microcurrent does relieve pain in joints and also heals if ultra small current is used, below 500uA (microamps and not milliamps). You will need a meter to judge how much current you are using. Harbor Freight usually has them below $5. You also may need to put a variable resister in one of the electrode wires. They are cheap at any electronics store. If you don't know how to do this someone in the store can explain it to you, and possibly do it for you.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 OSTEOARTHRITIS INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the oldest and most common diseases in humans and the most common form of joint disease in the world. The term "osteoarthritis" means "joint inflammation." Because OA does not present clinically as an inflammatory disorder, some have suggested that the term "osteoarthritis," or "joint disease," is more appropriate. Although OA is considered a non inflammatory form of arthritis, there can be a small inflammatory component. However, this inflammation is much less intense than that seen in rheumatoid arthritis, which is considered an inflammatory form of arthritis. DEFINITION: Osteoarthritis is primarily a non inflammatory disorder of movable joints characterized by an imbalance between the synthesis and degradation of the articular cartilage, leading to the classic pathologic changes of wearing away and destruction of cartilage. MEDICINES FOR OSTEOARTHIRITIS There is a range of medications for osteoarthritis, which aim to: * Relieve pain * Optimize joint function, * Limit deterioration in the joints. Pain relief is the main reason people seek help for their osteoarthritis. PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS: Patients with OA are encouraged to exercise as a way of keeping joint cartilage lubricated. Exercises that increase balance, flexibility, and range of motion are recommended for OA patients. These may include walking, swimming and other water exercises, yoga and other stretching exercises, or isometric exercises. Physical therapy may also include massage, moist hot packs, or soaking in a hot tub. ALLOPATHIC TREATMENT: Treatment of OA patients is tailored to the needs of each individual. Patients vary widely in the location of the joints involved, the rate of progression, the severity of symptoms, the degree of disability, and responses to specific forms of treatment. Most treatment programs include several forms of therapy. HERBS FOR OSTEOARTHIRITIS: There are a number of herbs that work synergistically to reduce chronic joint inflammation such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Boswellia: Boswellia has unique anti-inflammatory action, much like the conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used by many for inflammatory conditions. Cayenne: Cayenne (Capsaicin) Capsaicin, the "burning" substance in cayenne creams has been used topically to relieve pain from osteoarthritis. The benefit from cayenne creams, generally containing 0.025-0.075% of the active ingredient capsaicin, has been confirmed in double blind research. Devils claw: Devils claw (Harpagphytum procumbens)-an analgesic and anti-inflammatory Dosage: one to two grams, three times daily Horsetail: The silicon content of horsetail is believed to exert a connective tissue strengthening and anti-arthritic action in traditional medicine. White willow: White willow has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. Although the analgesic actions of willow are typically slow-acting, they tend to last longer than aspirin. One double blind study found that a product featuring white willow effectively reduced osteoarthritis pain compared to placebo. Yucca: Yucca has long been used to reduce arthritic pain. Cherries, hawthorn berries and blueberries: Cherries, hawthorn berries, blueberries and other dark red-blue berries are rich sources of anthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins. These compounds are flavonoid molecules that give them their deep red-blue color. These compounds are remarkable in their ability to enhance collagen matrix integrity and structure. Celery: Celery seed extract-acts as an anti-inflammatory medicine. It acts as a pain relief medicine in osteoarthritis. Castor: Castor oil hot packs-apply to affected joint. SOME OTHER HERBS FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS: The following herbs help to cure Osteoarthritis Problem. * Alfalfa (Medicago saliva) * ( archangelica) * Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) * Chaparral (Larrea tridentata) * Ginger (Zingiber officinale) * Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) * Hops (Humulus lupulus) * Licorice * Mustard Plaster (Brassica Alba) * Oregano (Origanum vulgare) * Sesame Seeds (Sesamum indicum) * Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) * Turmeric (Curcuma longa) * Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa) * Wintergreen (Gaulteria procumbens) Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed?
