Arthritis remedy
Ben in Skokie Ill USA -
Debone any chicken from any part of the planet, for that matter, any bones from any domesticated food source. Boil the cageebees out of it. Use the water for making your favorite dishes that require water. The dissolved cartlage and ligaments will serve as building blocks for your body to work with. Imagine a carpenter with no tools or wood to build..The body works the same way. That being said, also eliminate any vice habits such as alcohol, tobacco, or habitual drugs. Lets face it, your body is a temple that needs 100% care and respect.

Emu Oil
Jess in Norfolk, UK -
Emu Oil, either the pure stuff or the glucosamine cream has helped my arthritis. You can get it from www.emu-oil-well.com. It reduces swelling and eases pain and I've found that alongside my partner giving me a small massage with the cream and taking omega 3/6 capsules it has really helped.

The feel good remedy.
Katie in Detroit, MI -A gentle massage every 48 hours. It would be preferred to have someone else do this for you, but you can do this yourself. Start at the joint and make sure your as lax and tense free as possible. Place the joint into every position possible while massaging it. This allows you to find the way to keep deep into the tissue with the least resistance, in addition to that massage with movement feels a million times better. Take extra caution to not use the muscles in the area, they need to be relaxed for a massage to be max benefitial. Only use pressure that feels good, if it is causing more pain than your already in, it will only do more damage. Make sure you do everything SLOW! You don't want to shock your body, you want to calm your body. Keep massaging from the joint all the way to the spine. Make sure to stretch the joint afterward.
The massage I am talking of is basically pressure with a slight bit (less than an inch) of rythmic movement. Try to massage the bones. You may not be able to reach them all at first, but as your muscles soften up, you will eventually.
The pain relief with be temporary at first. The more repetitious, the longer the pain relief afterwards will last. Eventually, those pain pills that were in your cabinet will be in the trash!
Remember the line "walk it off." The worst thing you can do to an injury is keep it immobile. It makes your soft tissue tight and allows for toxic build up. When something is tight it is much easier to tear and injure again. So keep those muscles, tendons, etc. moving!
You could also throw an epson salt bath into the mix or buy a heating pad and soak the joint in some castor oil prior to your massage. Dilude some witch hazel to pull the castor oil off. You can't get deep into the tissue with slippery hands!

Turmeric
Jonas in Ontario, Canada -1-2 teaspoon of turmeric (an east indian spice) and powdered ginger daily.
I make my own with cellulose pill capsules. Then just mix together your bulk turmeric and ginger powder and stuff the shells.
I have suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for 5 years now and this is one of the only things that works effectively for pain and swelling in my joints. It is also a great digestive aid.

Flaxseed oil - a super cure
Bob W. in Santa Cruz, CA -I read where a lack of omega 6 fatty acids promoted inflammatory disease. My shoulders were so painful that I had trouble lifting my arms and my knees hurt so bad that I was going to have to give up jogging, which I dearly love.
Canola oil is fairly high in omega 6 so I started taking a couple of tablespoons a day. It helped greatly. I switched to flax seed which is much higher in omega 6. This has been going on for 4 years and, for me, it is a miracle cure.

Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda and Cayenne
Bill Kolb in Florida -
Two table spoons of cider vinegar mixed with a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. I then add about a quarter of a cup of water and mix thoroughly. Next I add a tablespoon and a half of baking soda. It foams up so use a very large glass. After it settles I chug it down. I do this everyday and it appears to help with pain associated with inflamation.

Nettles and vinegar paste for advanced arthritis
terri g in warren RI -Boil a handful of nettles (prickly plant, found on farms) in some water and vinegar, not too much water, you save it. When it starts boiling take it out and mix in some flour, only enough to make it pasty. Wet a small hand towel in hot water and wring it out. Put paste in it and put on the painful area. Time consuming but it works good for retired people who can do this 3 times a day for almost a week. It might be years before you have to do it again.

Vitamin E
terri g. in warren, RI -Take 2 1000 milligrams of Vitamin E every day for about a week or so. Then take one daily. Vitamin E lubricates joints, therefore gets rid of inflammation, which in turn causes pain. No more pain pills needed.
