I have been using Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda for 3 weeks and chicken cartilage in orange juice for 12days with absolutely no change in my condition. I am extremely disillusioned as I suffer excruciating pains in my knees, elbows and back. Where are all the people who spoke about these miracle treatments? The pains did not even recede. Are these scams or what. I was on methotrexate for4 weeks, took myself off as it made me Ill. Then I was rushed to hospital for a blood transfusion as it stripped all my blood. I was put onto cortisone which removed a lot of my pain but after weaning myself off after 7weeks the pains were back in full force. I am passionate about alternative medicine and was determined to try something natural. Hence, the rest is history. I was excited about this sight weeks ago but am lying here in extreme pain and have my doubts now!

This site is a life saver. So, I came down with terrible pain in my wrist, fingers, right hip, knee, foot and lower back. It became so unbearable at times that I could not walk or get out of the chair, and I thought that this is no life. If I had to live like this forever I'd rather be dead. However, I prayed and found the answers. Since I don't have insurance anymore - which is a blessing not a curse - I had to self diagnose and realized that I have Osteo Arthritis. I spent many hours in researching on the internet and found that there are several things I could do to not only stop the pain but also to reverse bone cartilage decay. And this is for all forms of Arthritis. To stop the pain: 3, 4, or 5 thin slices of Organic Ginger, 8-10 oz. of hot good water, 2 teaspoons of each Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey. Place the Ginger in a cup and pour the boiling water over it. Put a lid (Not plastic) or a small plate over it to cover. Let it soak for 10-15 minutes. Then add the ACV and Honey and drink this 3 times a day. It controls the pain to the point where I forget it is there. But for the long run do also exercise and eat undenatured Type II chicken cartilage and Gelatine. (I'll get to this later). Another important thing is to get all your trace minerals back into your body. Exercise as often as you can. Every 2 minutes count. It does not have to be exhausting and you don't have to buy anything. Get something that has weight (a can of vetable, a plastic bag with sugar, or buy exercise weights). Start low, and do about 20 gentle reps. The pull on the bones strengthens them and you can feel a difference in a short period of time. Start with maybe 3-5 minutes several times a day, and build up. My favorte exercise is this: stand on your toes for a few seconds (maybe 5-10) and go back down. Do 20 repetitions, many times a day, and/or walk on your tippy toes for several steps keeping your neck up like a giraffe. There is no wrong way of doing it. Do this is as often as you can. I even do the toe up and down when standing in line for the cashier. These exercises are very powerful - don't under estimate them. Another good one is to stand with your feet a little bit apart, then bend your knees and go down a little bit but keep your back straight, like you have a broomstick along your spine. Never force anything that does not feel good to you. Type II Undenatured Chicken Cartilage. This is so powerful that the Harvard University patented it. Undenatured means raw and it is the cartilage from the chicken's sternum. I personally would not eat that from a non-organic chicken because of the risk of contamination. There are many supplements on the market but many of them have been heat and/or chemically treated which destroys the effect. You need to do your own research on that. Tip: Dr. Joel D. Wallach is a Vet who has treated Arthiritis successfully in animals and people. I have red only an exerpt that was published online but I will get one of his books. He has used Chicken Cartilage and Gelatine, but I recommend to get only Organic Gelatine since the regular one is treated with heat and chemicals. And last but not least: Minerals. If you have been eating non organic (conventionell) fruits and vegetables, or even worse - packeged stuff, you are definitely deficient in essential trace minerals. Your body cannot do without them or you get all kinds of diseases. The cheapest and quickest way to remedy this is to get Organic Blackstrap Molasses. Take about 1-2 teaspoons a day. Indefinitely if you want. In addition to this I have also taken Boron supplement. I take 2-3 capsules a day, each capsule containing 3mg. The late Dr. Rex E. Newnham has cured his own arthiritis with it. So this is my contribution to this website. Everything I have stated here has helped me to control my arthritis to the point where I sometimes forget it is there. I have just started this regimen about a week ago and it has helped very quickly, almost instantly, especially the ACV/Honey/Ginger Tea. However, I am not a doctor or healthcare professional. Do your own research and before starting anything new consult your doctor first. Good luck and all the best to all of you.

I learned of this from my aunt, who has arthritis in her neck (creating headaches) and knees, so her doctor actually told her to try soaking golden (they MUST be golden! ) raisins in any juniper berry gin. I gave some jars to my grandmother with rheumatoid arthritis and to my mother who has osteoarthritis for Christmas this year... it hasn't been long enough to get feedback from them so far, but my aunt swears this has helped her arthritis in her knees and neck. Pour the gin to a level just above the level of the raisins in your jar. Soak them for a week, which basically reconstitutes the raisins. After that week, take anywhere between 5-10 raisins a day, whatever works for you. Do yourself a favor and get two jars so that you can start your next jar as you start to run out of the first jar, otherwise, you'll have a week of no raisins.

Whether it is arthritis, leaky gut, or any other ailment. If we fix our guts, we fix most of our health problems. For years I've suffered with diarrhea and just came to accept that I had a stomach issue. When you have diarrhea all the time, your body isn't absorbing any nutrients or minerals it needs for your whole health. This being the case, your body will react by giving you certain symptoms. When we try to discover what causes our symptoms, we read and read and read about what may cause each specific one. We then take supplements to rid us of a specific symptom, while not understanding the overall cause of a specific symptom. In my case, I developed arthritis in both knees and am fatigued much of the time. My knees hurt so badly I couldn't fall asleep at night. I tried many different products, all natural, (Zyflamend, ginger extract, Instaflex etc.) to no avail. I'm a flight attendant so it's very difficult to think of mixing Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda at work, when there is no time to even eat! I recently discovered something called "Repair Gold" by Enzymedica (the enzyme experts). Most of the ingredients are enzymes, no MSM, etc. It contains bromelain, protease, amylase, catalase, papain, serratiopeptidase and lipase. I've been able to sleep the last 4 nights and haven't had the usual bouts of diarrhea. It makes me wonder how many others have arthritis and diarrhea. I believe my arthritis stemmed from my malabsorption of nutrients and minerals from the food I eat, thereby causing deficiencies and bone loss, etc. I would never have connected the two. I encourage many of you to continue to research and read as much as you can, and to look way beyond a specific symptom. Wishing you good health and discoveries in nature.

This has given some good improvement in Knee Joint condition, after 3 weeks' treatment. I feel Organic Unfiltered Unpasturated ACV ( so-called 'Mother'grade) will work much better and faster to give good results. I want to know where this particular ACV (any brand) is available in Bangalore.

I am 32 and in two weeks going on Enbrel as my CRP is 50 and ESR is 36. I have been up and down on most meds and natural therapies. Have only had symptoms for 2 years. I tried a juice fast for three days last week which I saw a slight improvement although lost a lot of weight and I am quite lean already' now 70kg from 75kg. On the third day I ate raw fruit and veg and had salmon steak grilled. The next day I woke up worse than ever before and was so bad I had to go on predisalone to go to work. Was this a Healing Crisis or is that a myth? I have had my CRP down to 9 before, ESR of 8 but in those times I was eating meat and chicken and skipping breakfast for Raw juice. I just can't work out a plan of what works and what doesn't. I have had all the allergy tests and apparently no allergies. When I take predisalone the pain and swelling goes within two days. Does all the natural stuff (acv, baking soda, turmeric, collagen 2, fish oil, flaxseed, msm, St johns wart just deal with pain? What is out there that mimics predisalone naturally which is better for you? Also when I was down to 9 it was after having holidays, is it exhaustion from working full time that is aggravating my diseases not allowing me to heal naturally?

While looking for info online I found this which I suspect is a different study but might be the same one: Harvard medical school did an experiment on 29 people, giving them a tablespoon full of chicken cartilage a day. After 10 days all of the patients had relief of pain and swelling, after 30 days the patients could use joints with no problems and after 90 days 28 of the 29 patients were clinically cured. But what gets to me on this, Harvard said that the "drug" was beneficial. How is chicken cartilage a drug??

I was diagnosed with seronegative arthritis 18 months ago. I got a virus, then three months after, suddenly CRP shot up to 32 (ESR 40) with no Rhem factors. 4 months later CRP 66 and ESR around 30, for those of you who have been there, I was little frying overnight and the following morning was a disaster. I am a corporate executive responsible for a large workforce and without celebrex simply couldn't make it to work. 12 hours later, the celebrex would wear off and frying again. Prime of my life, just started a family and world crashing down around me, thinking of times would it be selfish to end it. Rheumy put me on Sulfasaline and wanted me on the triple header with Plaqnl and Methdrexate. I refused went with Sulfasalsine (on it for 18 months now) and hit wheatgrass & Barley juice (5 shots per day) for a month. CRP 32, ESR 8. More raw juicing all veg, 1year later CRP 9, ESR 9. New job then bang CRP back up to 28 just like that, really feeling it again. Questions: Guys, the Rheumy said I am wasting my time with all this natural stuff and it will NEVER get back my former non-Auto immunity body, and its Methotrexate or I'll be in a wheel chair later in life. I am still very cardio fit, weights are a challenge with CRP in the high 20"s again. Is it possible to crack the system back into not over working / swelling up at night? Or is he right and all this hard juice dedication and diet just lowering inflammation but not really changing the disease / false hope? I only swell up after sleeping and are just looking for something that will consistently block the gate to stop this. When I was down to CRP 9, it was only mild swelling in a couple of joints and getting good sleep and I felt like I had it in my grasp…now back in the 20's again, its full body pain and swelling and it sucks. Also I am also taking: Fish Oil, Flaxseed, MSM, Glucosamine etc etc. I will try anything in terms of diet and routine that has reversed this autoimmunity for someone out there and has worked for others. Surely on this planet someone has been able to get there, I hope for them anyway. I am prepared to fly to any part of the globe if that's what it takes. Happiness and peace to you all. Cheers, CEKM.

I have researched this and recently tried it myself. Soak a cup or more of yellow/golden/white raisins in about 1/2 cup of Gin. Make sure it's not the least expensive gin, or the most expensive. It is suppose to have something to do with the Juniper berries used to make the gin. Anyway you soak the raisin in a tightly covered container for at least a week. Then you take 9 a day, 3 in the morning, 3 mid day, 3 in the evening. I have been bothered by arthritis pain not only in my right knee, but had tennis elbow or tendonitis in my left elbow. Also since my arthritis was very painful, I began walking strangely. After seeing my own MD then a sports medicine specialist, who wanted to 'inject' the site. I went to my holistic acupuncturist. After his treatment my knee felt much better, but my calf muscles began to hurt tremendously. My good friend and massage therapist said she thought it might be a ripped/torn calf muscle. It felt like a very tight charlie horse anytime weight was put on it. My boss had been telling me about the gin soaked raisins, but I never bought the ingredients to make it up. After this July 4th holiday weekend, she brought me in a cured bottle. After just 2 days of 9 raisins, both my calf and elbow feel so much better. I will continue to use what she gave me and then replenish as necessary. I do hope this gets posted. It works! Thanks so much for this site..
