Re: Vitamin D toxicity? now arthritis

> Lynn,

> you - You are using butter oil for arthritis. Is this rheumatoid

or

> osteo arthritis?

----Yes I use it for osteoarthritis in my ankle. The arthritis there

from a horseback riding accident that totally broke my ankle. It

healed back incorrectly and has been wearing the cartilage away over

the years. I knew nothing about eating correctly for years so

probably really did extra damage also.

I had been told to expect to need an artificial ankle or ankle

fusion by the time I was 45. I'm now 50. Three years ago it was

killing me and at the same time I discovered the butter oil. I

started taking it in small amounts and it made some differences

(took away enough pain to not consider an operation).

I've now upped the oil to 2 tsp/day and recently added a significant

amount of CLO. I now have very little to no pain. My xrays still

show a ton of missing cartilage but so far I'm fine.

I'm use other supplements to address arthritis but I feel the

primary ones are the butter oil and CLO.

>And do you take any prescription drugs for it?

No I don't use anything not even asprin anymore as I don't really

have much inflamation. I was using tumeric but couldn't tell a

difference.

Suze Fisher told me about AOX/PLX that she was using with one of her

dogs. I've been using it for a year. I honestly don't know if it

makes a difference. It seems likely it does so I continue it. I know

the butter oil does because I went off it in the beginning for 3

months and had to go back to my walking stick. Since then I've never

gone without it for more than a few days and I've not needed any

supportive devices.

The other thing I HIGHLY recommend for arthritis are bone broths.

Please, please look over this article especially at the very tail

end on cartilage regeneration:

I tried to research more on this as eastern Europe uses gelatin

injections with good results. Most of the articles are not in

English so I only came up with a little but it's very promising.

However the treatments are ongoing and not approved here in the US.

So I use these daily.

I'm also on a waiting list for a far infrared lamp. There's some

interesting anecedotal studies on it and arthritis. ANother area I

want to look closer at is prolotherapy.

Hope this helps! I certainly understand how limiting arthritic pain

can make your world so I hope he can find some help.
