Remedies not relieving joint pain

Posted By Anto (Dublin, Ireland) on 12/06/2012

Hi, Im a 35 male and have been suffering from joint pains for the last 4/5 months, it started in my neck, moved to my lower back and then to my knees. Over the last month it has been mainly in my thumbs, fingers, wrists, toes and the soles of my feet...

My doctor did blood tests and x-rayed my hands with all tests coming back clear for arthritis.. He told me that it is arthralgia and gave me anti inflamitory tablets.. These tablets are not what I would like to be on long term and are not dulling the pain enough for me.

I been taking Apple cider vinegar, Omega 3 and muti-vitiman tablets without any noticable improvement. Has anyone come across similar joint pains in so many different joints and have any advice for a possible remedy? Thanks, Anthony

Hi Anto, I have found relief from MSM which is sulfur. Many people are helped with joint pain from it. I discovered it about 16 years ago when my dad introduced me to it and before many people knew of it. It was amazing and since then I have had many of my friends find relief from it and many of my ballet students as well.

Two other suggestions which I also find relief from are lypospheric vitamin c, which you can order from amazon. I use this a lot. And also, drinking baking soda in water. About an 1/8 of a teaspoon is what I use, sometimes a bit more. I hope this helps. Lisa

Hello Anto, try removing dairy in your diet. Eat and drink fresh juiced vegetables and fruits. Take vitamins, minerals and omega oil.

Also, eliminate all animal protein for a few weeks. If that works, you can slowly eat the animal protein you prefer. You have to stay away from any sweet and processed food while you are on this strict diet.

Anthony, You may want to get tested for Lyme disease. Joint pain is a common symptom of Lyme and I believe you have cases in Ireland.

If you take root ginger everyday for a week, you will find about the fith day, surprise! No pain. About a square centimeter, a cube about half inch, if your not into metrics. After that if you forget, the pain will jog your memory and it works straight away. The science says its as good as iboprofin, but too cheap to get much press. My lower back pain has gone after years of putting up with it. Definiatly recomended!

Try this remedie: 35 gr. (1. 23 oz) of Magnesuim chloride (MgC12) disolved in 1 ltr (33. 81 fl. Oz) of water. Don't confuse with epsom salt which is Magnesium sulfate. Do not use metal utensils, use plastic or wood spoons to mix, prepare and keep in preferably a glass bottle or plastic. Drink a tequila glass (shot glass) every day in the morning. It tastes a bit bitter but does wonders for your health in general. Take it for 3 months and rest one month. I personaly got rid of my joint pain in about a week. Gives you lot's of energy and it is good for asimilating calcium, good for your heart and for your mood, it is also used to prevent cancer etc. I sugest you read the following article. health.almend.com/magnesium.htm

Remedie # 2: Aside from taking Magnesium chloride, try to drink a "green juice" every day, drink at least half an hour before eating as it is the best way to assimilate nutrients. Here is my "blender recipe". I do not know if you can get all of the ingredients, but it is good for you whatever ingredients you can find. 1 celery stalk, 1 large slice of pineaple, 2-3 slices of an apple, a handfull of parsley, alfalfa and spinach and if you can find fresh Aloe Vera add a little piece (with out the skin), also optional and very good for you, add 1 tablespoon honey and 2 tablespoons of Chia seeds (that you previously soak, it forms a gelatin, and keeps refrigerated for 8-10 days), when I have a chance I add the juice of 1 or 2 oranges. Blend and drink.

Remedy # 3: I am an Homeopath, and would recomend for you to take 6-8 granules or drops of Rhus tox 30c, 3 times a day for 6 days.

I hope you get better, and please let me know if any of this remedies helps.
