Will apple cider and salt heat pack help in spur pain.

I don't know. I have been searching for info on this. So far the best

info I have come up with on arthritis and Cayce is this:

" The following commentary by William A. McGarey, M.D. is a general

overview of the Cayce approach to arthritis. "

There are some things in the article I want to stress. The main thing

is the need for a total, holistic approach in treating arthritis.

Cayce mirrors TCM in its emphasis on a total, holistic approach. There

is a warning against using the suggestions piecemill as in some cases

this will aggravate certain things. This too mirrors TCM and its

emphasis on treating everything that is out of balance at the same time

(as much as is possible). Otherwise, treatment for one problem may

worsen other problems.

Two things that Cayce stressed for arthritis (and other chronic

conditions) is the need for both assimilations and eliminations to be

in balance. I can tell you from repeated personal experience that there

has been a lot of times when my arthritis pain disappeared after a good

bowel movement. But bone spurs is more complex problem than

osteoarthritis is.

Something that McGarey touches on in his article is the need for the

aid to elimination to be correct for the individual. This too mirrors

TCM and its recognition that constipation and colonic inertia can have

different Roots. There are no one-size-fits-all treatments.

One difference between Cayce and TCM is that Cayce recommends raw

vegetables and TCM recommends against the consumption of raw foods.

As far as specific external treatments for arthritis, peanut oil

frequently was recommended as a massage oil.

I'll talk about spurs from a TCM perspective in another post.
