my uncle puts WD40 on his knees and says it helps movement and pain..what do you all think?

Answer 1

I've heard of people doing this and it working. I've also heard that several people became very ill over time because the poison was absorbing through the skin into the blood stream

Answer 2

the squeaking you're listening to is a wake-up call you will desire brakes very quickly or you would be reducing metallic. The spring will rub against the rotors for disc brakes. even however you will nonetheless have pads, quickly will placed directly to the rotors costing massive greenbacks to substitute them with them and could be finished in pairs. If is drum brakes like in the rear then it extremely is purely too previous due. Drum footwear will rub against the decrease back plate inflicting a squeak and the brake mechanic could prepare some grease-much less grease on the decrease back of the footwear the place it touches. of direction under no circumstances the footwear. WD40 would be risky and could lose your breaking capability.

Answer 3

Well, I have heard of people using it and they say it helps.. But , it is a petroleum product and is not good for the human body to be absorbing. Castor oil has the ability to stop joint pain also as does many more natural products. Check with your health food store for other remedies.

Answer 4

I think either your uncle has a great sense of humor, is made of metal OR a little off his rocker...but then again who am I to judge. There was a guy in a movie once who used Windex to cure any skin problems...one can only imagine what anything is good for since we don't even think of testing them.

Answer 5

I've heard of some people doing this and that it works, however, in my knowledge, WD-40 is a petroleum distillate which are long-term toxins that are carcinogenic, (cancer causing) , in nature. Why would you consider putting this on your skin to have it absorbed into your body?

Answer 6

I think he thinks it helps with his pain. If it helps him....then good for him. WD40 has to be less expensive then many prescription drugs.

Answer 7

Unless your uncle is the Tin Man, I think he's missing a few marbles.

Answer 8

Unless he puts it directly in the joints (inside the knee), that's just a placebo effect ;)

Answer 9

I think that is very odd ive never heard of any one doing this

Answer 10

I have heard several people testify that this helps their joints, I don't think there is any scientific proof. If they think it helps them that is good.
