Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I've been Dx'd with artritis in my neck, between the 4th and 5th, and 5th and 6th vertebrae. Are there any blends I can use to ease the symptoms and/or slow/stop the development of the arthritis? Thanks! Karen -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karen M.

I have it from my neck all th way down my spine. Even though I do take medicines for it, the last Dr said there is nothing to help. Its just going to keep getting worse.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi Karen, Nancy, Look into the herb " Devil's Claw " (Harpagophytum procumbens). My herbology teacher couldn't rave about it enough for arthritic issues of all sorts. She stressed that it is the kind of thing that needs to be taken for a while, and build up in the system to notice any effect, but it is hailed as being very effective when taken properly. Also noted by her is a formula by Herb Pharm called " Bone/Flesh/Cartilage " which she liked to use in conjunction with the Devil's Claw herb. To me, if nothing else, it'd be worth at least looking into the above and getting some info about the herbs and formulas *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com scentsl [scents1] >I've been Dx'd with artritis in my neck, between the 4th and 5th, and 5th and 6th vertebrae.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Chris where do you get your devil's claw? Anything I buy in small quantities, I just get locally at Whole Foods or a couple of other stores down off Shepherd. One good one closed recently.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hi Chris: Do these, or any other herbs, conflict with some of the prescriptions a person is on? I do have a lot of trouble with old arthur and also the nerve damage that exists in my right leg and foot. Have been walking more since I got my new cocker pup and by the time I get back home, my big toe is numb and my leg aches let alone my left knee that I have had surgery on twice. It makes 'music' when I go up and down stairs, LOL. Thank you much. Blessings and love, Effie >Hi Karen, Nancy, > >Look into the herb " Devil's Claw " (Harpagophytum procumbens).

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Another thing I thought of the other day about this - Acupuncture. I've known so many folks who get acupuncture for various pain disorders, including arthritis and SWEAR by it. My mother got Acupuncture for migraines decades ago and to this day she is not plagued by them (only on the rarest of rare occasions). In many cases it is covered by insurance too! *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Thanks Chris, Sure wish I had some today, can't hardly move. Sure will be worth looking into.
