Has anyone tried alternative remedies for arthritis pain? I've tried Glucosamine, over the counter and prescription drugs and nothing seems to help

Read the arthritis book by Dr Jarvis who also wrote the well known book folk medicine (Vermont). Try eBay, amazon, or library. I got it through inter-library loan as my library did not have it.

Very fascinating book but the gist of it is raw apple cider vinegar about 2 fingers width in a glass with the same amount of honey (raw preferred) with water 3 times a day around mealtime will remove all the pain of arthritis according to his studies and use with both people and animals; however, if you stop it the arthritis and pain come back.

It dissolves calcium deposits and is also used for removing calcium deposits from hard water on the inside of water heaters and teakettles. Note how it dissolves an eggshell is put in vinegar..in the same fashion when kept in the bloodstream/body it does the same thing. It also has many other health benefits and is not expensive.

Do not use regular vinegar as it is unhealthy for the body. It must contain the cloudy mother..try a brand like spectrum or Bragg's available at health food stores, co-ops and health food sections of supermarkets like Krogers or giant eagle.

also apply warm to joints or clothes soaked in vinegar.

Good luck!

Here are some other recommendations for a more permanent cure or better yet do as many of the recommendations as possible and also vinegar.. Curing arithitus takes a while so keep staying on the program and you will see relief. It requires lifestyle change for lasting help,,you can't just look for a pill or supplement to fix living a less healthy lifestyle. By changing one's lifestyle many other ills will be helped or prevented as well.


I recommend the following:

1. see all the recommendations here. Dr. John R Christopher, the father of modern herbology, was himself a sufferer of juvenile arthritis.

He said when he ate a vegan diet, he had no pain (vegans eat grains, veggies, fruits, nuts, legumes, and seeds)..when he ate a vegetarian diet, he had some pain (vegetarians eat dairy and/or eggs but no meat, poultry, and fish). when he ate meats, it would put him in a wheelchair.

He talks of a permanent cure and how to achieve it and had many recommendations.

... very excellent--please see itl

2. Dr. Richard Schulze recommends his incurables program and deep tissue repair oil for arthritis. Schulze cured many incurables in his over 20 year underground clinic and was a student of Dr.Christopher and some of the other greatest names in naturopathic medicine. His programs has cured MANY different kinds of incurables illnesses, I know people cured of cancer and I also had good luck on the program.

His patient handbook shows how to do the program but it is expensive. http://curezone.com/schulze/

You can save money, though, by making his formulas yourself. Also very helpful if doing the incurables is the save your life video series (12 hours) available quite a bit on ebay and amazon. originally $400.

3. I once read people who went on a vegetarian diet (vegan??) for other reasons soon noticed their arthritis improving or disappearing. Had something to do with meat fibers and leaky gut syndrome, so this is further evidence of the superiority of a vegan diet for arthritics.

4. Take the herbs yucca and tumeric (anti-inflammatory). Take for a long time. Use only organic and/or wildcrafted (in the wilds)..it is better to use a tincture than capsules (liquid extract). Take sufficient calcium/magnesium (twice as much calcium).

5.Also if not vegan, eat fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and herring for its good effects on the joints. Also use magnets for pain (10,000 guass--magnelyfe).

Good Luck!

Also try 10,000 guass magnets on areas of pain. Works for about 85% of people. It ALWAYS relieves pain for me when I overwork muscle, walk a lot, or injure myself within just a few minutes and definitely by morning. I use magnelyfe mini magnets..I will give you a link (but their tape does not stick well and you will lose them so try a different magnet tape or even waterproof first aid tape at store is better.

Take three days for a juice fasting.
Your blood is too acidic and that is why you are getting so much pain in your joints.
Juice fasting makes your blood more alkaline (which is the opposite of acidic) and therefore less pain.

Do 3-5 days of juice fasting.
Take a whole bag of apples juice it up in a juice extractor and add, barley, alfalfa, and spirulina powder to it. Drink 8-10 ounces of juice every 2-3 hrs. and at 6 PM eat a vegetable soup.
This always helps the body get rid of toxins, and that means less pain.
Also, a warm bath helps loosen up and relax.

Hope this helps, take care, and good health to you! :)

Diet change can be of some help, eating red meat intensifies inflammation.
White willow is the basis of aspirin but without the side effects because it is natural.
Any herbal remedies which are a Cox 2 inhibitor may also help you.
Gentle exercise, with tolerated pain is essential, getting in a pool to a help too.

you may also want to try MSM as it helps regulate fluid pressure surrounding cells and so can help with pressure in inflamed joints etc. you might also want to check out arthritis specific preparations from a company called advanced tachyon technologies. I used to have chronic back pain and bough one of their flex-cells and my pain has been gone ever since.

Fresh pineapple juice is a wonderful anti-inflammatory. Since arthritis is essentially an inflammatory process - fresh pineapple juice should help you. If not - go see a rheumatologist.

traditional medecine can't cure arthritis, so millions of americans rely on aspirin to reduce joint pain and stiffness.It works bu blocking the production of prostaglandings, hormone-like substances in your body that help regulate blood pressure, fluid balance and temperature(among other body functions) and are often implicated in imflammation and pain.Talk to your doctor about the dose that's right for you.

Glucosamine needs to be combined with chondroitin and this expensive combination is supposed to help and even to reverse or to gradually overcome the problem.

Try a Yahoo search for arthritis + glucosamine + chondroitin (OR chondroiton).

Try liquid Health - Glucosamine. I notice pain relief within 2 hours. Being liquid, it is absorbed much faster.
Here's the link. Good luck!
