Re: alternatives to costly Cortisone Shots for severe back pain.

[Guest guest]

DMSO!!!!! It's wonderful for inflammation, especially in the joints/back. It's

a type of NSAID, but doesn't harm the stomach like ibuprophin - actually it's

been shown in some studies to reverse colitis.

If their diets are terrible, one thing to try is before you get them to give up

junk they love, try to get them to eat more of the healthy things they might

like - switch to raw milk, switch to butter/lard instead of liquid oils, etc. I

read one dietician who said it's always easier for people to change their diets

by first adding in the healthier foods then trying to lower the amounts of

unhealthy ones. It made sense to me!

It's DiMethyl SulfOxide. A natural extract of pine pitch or something like

that. Here's a link: http://www.dmso.org/articles/information/muir.htm
