Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 i had pseudo-gout in the early 90's. worst pain of my life so far, changed my attitudes about living upstairs forever. naproxen (free samples from doc) would give relief in a few hours that lasted for as long as i kept it up. when the free sample ran out and i found out how far i was financially from being able to have the Rx filled i bought shark cartilage instead, having heard about it on the radio and finding a book " sharks don't get cancer " (actually they do, just not often or easily). the shark worked just as well as the naproxen, but instead of kicking in after a few hours it took building up dosing for 3 days to get the same result (OUCH). but it worked in an overall beneficial healthful way instead of attacking/loading the liver like naproxen (didn't know about the hep-C then). later i found that bovine (cow) cartilage has many of the same inflammation reducing properties as shark, and is lots cheaper. shark has become much cheaper too, but there's an eco issue with killing them for harvest. THE WHOLE SHARK CARTILAGE WAVE I BELIEVE IS WHAT LED TO THE EVENTUAL POPULARITY OF GLUCOSAMINE which works. damned caps lock, sorry. i've overworked myself into a carpal tunnel problem before, which fortunately healed by careful usage and lots of rest. these days i'd load up on glucosamine, MSM, and topically apply dissolved aspirin in a 30% DMSO solution. anywhere there's been cartilage damage in a joint needing repair i'd use shark for sure for the anti-angiogenesis properties to avoid later arthritis in the area. i know nothing of boswellia. the little bit i just read looks encouraging. > > oleander soup > oleander soup On Behalf Of rhonda ebrom > Tuesday, July 28, 2009 9:27 PM > oleander soup > Boswellia > > How does this work?

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Boswelia is known for it's anti-arthritis, anti-inflammatory and joint support benefits. Hyaluronic acid is also good for joint support, as is fish oil. Another good anti-inflammatory is ginger root - which you can purchase at the local grocer or else purchase as an herbal extract (I use the extract). I also think that the same things I recommend for arthritis, along with the B^ Mike recommends, might work well for your hand too - that and taking periodic breaks where you kind of shake your hand out: 1) Plant Minerals- minerals are the building blocks of the enzymes necessary for the utilization of all other vitamins, etc. (rock minerals are a waste of money since only 5-15% can be broken down by the body before being eliminated. Minerals already digested by plants are potentially 100% absorbable.) 2) Colloidal Gold - gold has even been used by mainstream medicine to treat severe Arthritis. 3) MSM, Glucosamine, Chondrotin, Collagen (all of these are available in a product called Liquid Life Joint Care, which also contains aloe. 4) Silica (from horsetail and/or shavegrass) 5) GTF Chromium (GTF Chromium is a complex known as Glucose Tolerance Factor and is made by fermenting nutritional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) with chromium.) 5) Colloidal Silver- some arthritis is believed to be viral related and colloidal silver is an extremely good anti-viral agent. Colloidal silver also helps bone, tissue and nerve regeneration. 6) Digestive Enzymes. Take 5 or 6 capsules two to three times daily on an empty stomach. In addition to many other benefits, digestive enzymes break up fibrin and scar tissues. oleander soup , rhonda ebrom <dipghater wrote:>> How does this work?
