First start alkalizing your body. Look for Ted's Alkalizing formula in this site. Take it 2 times a day. Severe pain when waking up is a clear sign of acidic body. So to alkalize your body take Ted's Formula.

Eat foods that rebuilds your cartilage. Foods rich in amino acids build the cartilage. Wheat Grass Juice, Raw Milk, Raw Milk Kefir, Raw EGG

Remove the flouride toxin in your body by drinking Tamarind Juice once a week. Don't dump your body with fortified foods with calcium.

There is a herb named Muda Kaathan in Tamil (literally meaning Arthritis Curer) used in Siddha Medicine, exclusively for Rheumatoid Arthritis. The english name is Baloon vine, other languages Harivay Soppu in Kannada, buddakakara in Telegu.

The following site gives the recipe to prepare the herb

Hi Andy Henry, I suggest going 100% gluten-free. Read up on hidden gluten in foods and read all the labels on your foods and check the celiac websites if you are not sure if a food item is gluten-free. I was in terrible arthritic pain every day. When I went 100% gluten-free, within the first few days the pain diminished. Little by little I just kept feeling less and less pain. Going up and down stairs had been so painful that that was all I could think about when I was using stairs. Each step was "ouch" either in my head or out loud. After being gluten free for a while, one day I went up the stairs to get a load of laudry to wash and all I thought about was the laundry I was going to do! I got to the top of the stairs and realized this and was deleriously happy. It had been a few years since I could just take the stairs and not think about every step. Going gluten-free is difficult, but for me it was so worth it. It's worth a try!

Hello Henry, I just wrote a post to a threat about a lady suffering with joint pain in her hands. I suggested the use of DMSO; 1/2 teaspoon rubbed into hands once a day, then skip a day then again the third day. DMSO is a solvent/ carrier so you need clean hands. Your breath is effected for a day. DMSO smells like garlic. I've had wonderful success recommending this easy remedy for arthritic conditions.

Hi Andy Henry, I'm sorry you have been suffering with pain. That is really not fun! I have a few suggestions which I have done or currently do for joint pain. First, I would suggest looking into MSM as I started using that about 16 yrs ago before it was very well-known. I had heard about it from my dad. It is sulfur and can be taken orally by pill or powder. I find powder to be most effective. At that time, James Coburn was a big advocate for it as he had been "cured" from his debilitating arthritis. Anyway, I found incredible relief from it.

Another big change was through my diet. My first big change was going raw for 3 months which may seem radical but my point is that diet is everything! Working to stay alkaline helps with body pain and also keeps illness away. Following that, I began to juice veggies every morning. That too, makes a very big difference.

If you have access to far infrared saunas, do take advantage of that as well! I do one at least once a week and have just invested in one for my home because I can feel such a difference after taking one. They do so many things I don't know where to begin! They detox heavy metals (which can be a source of much body pain) and anything else needed to detox, they bring down inflammation, help heal the organs, improve the circulation, strengthen the heart and lungs, burns 600 calories in 30 minutes to assist in weight loss (if that is necessary) and much more...

Taking baking soda in the morning helps me to feel better too. After I take that, I can feel my body become easier. And finally, I have found lypospheric vitamin c to be very effective for inflammation and also energy levels.

Hope this helps and that you find relief from someone's suggestions! Best to you, Lisa
