If I run out of pills for longer than 4-5 days my knuckles start hurting and it's hard to bend my index finger. I make sure I don't run out any longer. My mom has been faithful about taking the turmeric pills and just recently mentioned how she thinks it is helping with her Crohn's disease. She had emergency surgery in 1992 for an obstruction and they removed a large portion of small intestines and colon. It was due to Crohn's disease but they didn't diagnose it until after the surgery. Since the surgery in 1992, my mom has narrowed down what foods bother her to eat. She cannot digest any kind of fat. Red meats, fried foods, nothing with fat digests and if she eats anything with fat she gets bad diarrhea sometimes all night long. Since she has been taking the turmeric she has noticed that when she cheats and eats pizza or french fries (knowing full well what she will endure later after eating those fatty foods) she has found that she isn't bothered by the fat now and doesn't get the bad diarrhea. She does take 2 different over the counter digestive enzyme pills with fattening meals to help digest the fat but she has always taken those pills. But now with taking the turmeric pills she can eat more of what she wants to eat without any of the consequences which is a blessing since she is so thin. Hope this helps someone else. Reading this site has helped me and my family out tremendously. I encourage everyone to give feedback. You never know when it might help someone.

Ted's recipe for toenail fungus has worked also, though it took a several months, my toenail is now just about normal.

I purchased a bottle from ____, and had my mother start with the treatment 1 drop in an 8 ounce glass of water 3 times a day, increasing the drops by one drop each day. She is now up to 5 drops as of today, and will be on her 6th drop tomorrow morning. My mother has been suffering from severe artritis for many years, but over the last year it has gotten to the point where she could barely walk. So let me tell you that as of today 9-24-2009, since starting this therapy of oral ingestion 5 days ago, she is not complaining at all of the pain in her lower back, left shoulder, wrist or leg areas. My mother said the only thing she feels now is stiffness in the back of her leg (knee area), but its starting to loosen up. I can tell by looking at how she walks now compared to last week, that it is working for real, It is still early, but I have to say that I am shocked! Today as I was talking to her, she told me that the feeling in her toes have returned, she didn't bother to mention this to any of my siblings or myself until I was asking her how she has been feeling, since I got her started on the Hydrogen Peroxide 35% diluted with the dropper in 8 ounces of water. By the way my mother is 85 years old. I don't know what to expect as we continue with this therapy, but I have to say I'm thankful for a site like this, and all the information that I have read online here, and all the readily available information on the internet. I will update as I continue to watch my mother's progress. Thank you again! Lee from Chicago, Illinois.

When I was young I could bear the pain or it was not that severe.Now I am having unbearable pain and getting prescribed medication for it (sulfasalazine 15 mg per day).Beside this I take Alive and Ibuprofen whenever I needed.Even after all this when it is active I can not manage the pain. Dr. told me to take the shot like Humira, or Enbrel etc. but I did not take it because of the side effect of this products and I have bad liver condition.Now I am gaining weight which I don't like, so when I heard that acv is helping for weight loss I have tried it.I took 2tsp acv with 8oz water 2 times a day 7 days a week. And its work for me,I saw the change in my abdominal area, it went down a little and feel energetic, can work out good and its help my bloating condition too. But after taking for someday I couldn't take it any more because of its smell, so what I did was taking 2tsp acv with 8oz orange juice twice a day beside my prescribed pain medication too. May be I took the acv for 2-3 weeks but I think my measurement wasn't right, sometimes I have noticed that when I was pouring the acv, accidentally I pour more, but I didn't thought it could be a matter.It was going well, then all of a sudden one day I feel horrible pain in my back, legs, hips and allover my body. So I was very scare and thinking what went wrong. After I taking my prescribed medication I never had that kind of severe pain for a long time.Some thing I did which was giving me this pain. So I tried to find out, but couldn't find any thing beside this acv which I was taking at that time. So I stop taking it any more. Because I read some where that using acv for a long time it could effect your bone. I don't know that is true or not. But I really want to take the acv again, and little bit scare after my experience. So is anybody out there who can help me?

(I have heard cherries are effective at fixing gout too) She tried it with near perfect success, she has to keep taking them but as long as she does she is pain free. She has told other people and they have had success. It was noticed that my aging cat was no longer willing to jump up on the arm of my chair and would take longer to get up in the morning, it is defiantly arthritis. So I mushed up some cherries into hit cat food which he happily ate and after a week he was freer and freer and found it easier and easier to jump up. While fresh organic cherries are obviously the healthiest canned or bottled cherries and the surrounding cherry juice works fine even with the added sugar and is cheaper and can be obtained year round without great expense. I have also heard of someone who took 1 tsp of Turmeric a day for 5 days and wiped out their Arthritis for good. But I must give Cherries the highest marks for being enjoyable, amazingly effective and cheap/easy.

I keep this by my bed and shake and spray myself all over, especially knees and hips. It is not automatic like a pain pill but once you get that concentration to the joint IT DOES WORK. I'm 49 and have just experienced this pain in the last 5 years. If you can run around in shorts, spray the concoction on joints 4,5,6x's a day you will feel the difference.

I had severe pain especially if I bent over. My back literally was killing me with pain. I was taking prescription naprosen (1000 mg/per day). That had little effect on the pain. I had arthritis in both index fingers, both shoulders and my back was full of it. I remembered that I had heard or read somewhere about ACV. I found this web site and read everything I could on ACV. I was so encouraged! I went out that day and bought a qt of organic ACV. The first time I took it I wondered how could I continue taking it. However the taste was not as bad as the pain I was going through. I quit taking the pain medication and just used ACV. I take about 3 ozs. to 4ozs a day in some water. After about 3 or 4 days, I noticed the pain throughout my body starting to subsiding. By the end of 2 weeks the pain was literally gone. I can bend over with no pain, hop around with no pain and play with my cat. No more NSAIDS, only ACV. I have been telling everyone I see about this MIRACLE CURE FOR PAIN. I hope I have encouraged someone sitting on the fence to try this. By the way, there are other benefits to taking ACV.

There are hospitals that have actually began testing this to see why it works so well for people with Arthritis. 1 box of white raisins (golden raisins) - can't be brown - have to be the golden raisins 1 bottle of gin (can be a very cheap bottle b/c you throw it out) Put the raisins in a glass jar, and cover with the gin for 2 weeks (in a refrigerator). Drain the gin. Refrigerate. Eat 9 a day. They taste terrible, but if you follow them with a Ritz cracker, you can endure. Within a month, the pain should be gone! My Grandma had such bad arthritis in her neck, she would have to get shots every couple of months. She did traction daily, and took a lot of pain medicine. She heard about this home remedy on a call in radio show. They were asking people to call in with old home remedies. They had over 200 calls for this remedy alone. She decided to try it. After a month, she did not have any pain, and didn't need the medicine, shots or the traction device anymore. Her doctors were amazed! She takes them everyday! She hasn't missed in 15 years!

My husband died of cancer which first started as small spots on his penis. He heard about blood root and bought the salve but it was so painful that he could not stand using it and went in the conventional methods. I noticed some very weird spots all over my face and tried some of his salve. It attacked the spots and took almost half my lip off in the process, which has grown back totally. I found more spots on my back and it is removing them with silver dollar size black scabs, raised about half an inch of the skin. I am convinced that since the skin grows back with no scar, that this salve also stimulates the adult stem cells and gets them to repair the damaged areas. I have terrible arthritis and two hip replacements. I am putting this, diluted with vaseline on and around my knee joints and the pain seems to be going away. I think it might be rebuilding my knee. I also had a head injury which knocked out my short term memory. I am gaining full brain function back. I am also taking a small amount of this internally. A friend of mine started using it to cure headaches and he noticed that his brain was unusually sharp when attempting to do extremely difficult tasks. My husband and I and our dog set up a machine shop in the cellar of an old cow killing plant, where the hides had been cured. I figure he, I, and also the dog, got cancer after hanging out there for three years and breathing the dust etc. My dog has some kind of cancer in her breathing tubes, I am giving her bloodroot also. I can see small pieces of cancer coming out of my body in my shits. Also from the dog. I am convinced if my husband had been able to withstand the pain and just used the bloodroot salve both externally and internally he would still be alive. I would like to obtain a recipe to make the salve which can also be ingested and I would like to start growing bloodroot, and all the other plants which go into making it. I would like to make it available at a more reasonable price to whoever needs it. If anyone knows a good way to make it please let me know.

I want to lose about 60 lbs. total and in spite of eating a pretty healthy diet and being active I'm still overweight. I have not heard anyone else report this but since I have been taking ACV I've noticed my body shape is different, my waist is definitely a bit smaller, etc. but my clothes fit exactly the same.
