Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 My husband drank the BFC tea...about a gallon a day for about a year and no longer has the pain he had in his knees from the arthritis. Now he takes a bit of the tincture once a day. The BFC is in the files.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 Thanx Kayte - I have the tinctures in for that mix. As an ongoing 'treatment' would 30 drops a day be ok? Or is more needed at the start. The lady is coming to me on Thursday and has just been diag with RA. I hope to give homeopathic treatment but also wanted a 'daily' therapy from herbs. janice herbal remedies, Kayte Sisler <kayte@m...> wrote: > My husband drank the BFC tea...about a gallon a day for about a year and no > longer has the pain he had in his knees from the arthritis.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Unfortunately rheumatoid arthritis, as presently defined, is not actually a single condition. Therefore, there are no specific treatments. I always recommend a thorough evaluation and diagnosis by a naturopath, acupuncturist, or ayurvedic doctor in these cases. In these disciplines, the different causes that result in similar symptoms are recognized. Some cases of rh arthritis are simply an allergy to nightshade-family plants. This includes potatos, most peppers, and tomatos. Simply eliminating these from the diet is the test. If things get better, then that was the problem. If not, then it comes from one of the other possible causes. There are a few herbs such as white willow that provide an analgesic effect, but that's temporary and does not address the cause. I'm a radical, and thus call for nothing short of complete healing if at all possible.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 how did i know this was going to be the answer ?? i saw her today and did my analysis chart on her-digestive and intestinal systems were rock bottom so decided to address these areas first. she's to look to her diet which is crap and i am giving her a homeopathic bowel nosode which i am hoping will start s/thing-i can then follow on with some remedies and supporting herbals should any new symptoms come up. i also gave the BFC in tincture as I thought it would help the ache and also her possible osteoporosis. there is no real swelling as such so didnt give salix she may cut out dairy first to see if anything from that-apparently her mother has similar and feels dairy makes her worse Janice herbal remedies, Michael Riversong <rivedu@e...> wrote: > Unfortunately rheumatoid arthritis, as presently defined, is not actually a > single condition.
