Re: best remedy for joint swelling

[Guest guest]

PJ,

I hadn't heard of this w/ other fingers but I've had it w/ the pointer finger or

big toe. Classical " gout " symptom, for many years it's also been acknowledged

to be a candida die-off symptom. Various of us around here have talked about

its relationship w/ oxalates.

I think I may have gotten some candida overgrowth from the stress this summer,

eating on the run, and not taking my vitamins as religiously as I had before.

This would explain a lot.

I have gone back to easy to digest foods, no fruits/carbs, broths, lots of

yogurt and coconut oil with some improvement so far...

This summer I relied on lots of fruit, lara bars, as I was traveling a lot, and

I think I overdid it.

Thanks,

PJ

I've had this problem all summer too. The joint in my left index finger is sore.

Initially, it was so bad that washing my hands caused pain (I guess the joint

was making contact with the finger next to it). Now it just hurts if I bend it

too far. I can bend about halfway with no pain, but more then that and YOWSER!

It's really put a crimp in my career as a fake guitar player ;-) (no Rock Band

or Guitar Hero this summer). I've been eating fine, and take LDN, so that's not

the problem. I need to look into gout. Time to buy some cherries!

Naturally it is best to get back to regular meals/ LDN and some normality, but

what are good natural (or legal supplement) approaches to this?

My kids love Rock Band.I hope your finger gets better. Thankfully mine is not

painful- a little stiff and sore in the morning. It's just swollen enough that I

can't get my wedding ring on- which makes me sad.

I am going back to being more vigilant with my cooking, vitamins, and LDN.

Hopefully that will help.
