Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 my friend has rheumatoid arthritis,her hands are quite swollen,red,painful ... she waits on tables ...does anyone know what she [ age 72 ] can do for it 4 it...no insurance ... non-dr/prescription help please ############ I use DMSO for arthritis pain, works wonderful for me. Most vets have it, most farm and feed stores carry it. If you are lucky enough to live in a state that allows you can find it in herb or health food stores. Buy 99% pure. Which means that 1% is water. Mix with aloe vera gel and apply. Start with a 50% solution as it causes a histamine reaction. Once used to it you can build up to 70% strength. Dr. Stanley Jacobs of OHSU in Portland sells online to people who want to use the pharmacy grade, his is 70% strength when you get it. A bit more expensive but very safe. Here is the link to that webpage: http://www.jacoblab.com/ DMSO is cheap and very effective for arthritis. I have used it for years. Cheers, Micki Quote
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 I've used DMSO and I think it really helped end some persistant back pain. However I did experience some cloudiness with vision and tightness in the scalp over time. I used an eyewash made from eyebrite and cayenne capsule in water. Just one drop (yes it stings a little) And "Hairever 1 Cleansing Scalp Treatment". - Micki Saturday, April 26, 2008 2:19 PM rheumatoid arthritis/hands - Use DMSO my friend has rheumatoid arthritis,her hands are quite swollen,red,painful ... she waits on tables ...does anyone know what she [ age 72 ] can do for it 4 it...no insurance ... non-dr/prescription help please ############ I use DMSO for arthritis pain, works wonderful for me.
