Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 I have used MSM powder for aches and pains and it works real well within a half hour. Need to take it with Vit C. Take about 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp. of MSM in a glass of water. Best, Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hello again.... I am the person with the terrible joint pain and inflammation. My son thinks I should try accupuncture, and an acquaintance of mine has a Shiatsu clinic. I am going to try shiatsu tonight to see if I get any relief, just wondering if anyone here has tried and/or had any success with this kind of treatment for arthritis or other ailments. One other thing I want to throw out here....I went to the doctor again on Friday....he once again gave me prescriptions for two kinds of pills....(surprise). I asked them to test me for " Fifth disease " (parvovirus B19), he reluctantly agreed to give me the test, but he said he doubted that is my problem because my " RA factor " (the blood test for rheumatological conditions) came back at 383, and a normal persons RA factor is usually around 20. I think he misread this number....that seems too far off the charts to me. What do you all think? Linda in MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Took a Shiatsu training way back in 1974. It is a great self-help technique. You will often find that the point that needs most to be done, is the one that is most tender. So i've been using it as a practically unconscious part of my life since then. There are certain points that are great for headaches, so that's one problem i never really have to deal with. Just do the points, and the whole thing is gone within a couple of minutes. Also have used it on my wife at times, and occasionally on friends. Good stuff, all around, because there isn't any heavy doctrine connected to it. You just do the points as needed, and that's it. Of course this won't work on everything, but it works enough of the time to be worth knowing. Not familiar with the RA number and its use -- sorry.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Acupuncture is wonderful to help with pain and inflammation. Moxa can be used along with it too. Also amma therapy is very helpful. Cathy herbal remedies, " doucanoe1994 " <lindaf@c...> wrote: > Hello again.... > I am the person with the terrible joint pain and inflammation.
