Fill a bowl with water as hot as she can bear;
Add one cupful of Epsom Salts, and soak hands for fifteen minutes;
Exercise hands; then dry them and wrap in warm towel for five minutes to allow pores to close.
This comes from the protocol of Margaret Hills, a nurse who cured herself of crippling (and supposedly incurable) arthritis with a regime of apple cider vinegar, blackstrap molasses and Epsom Salts baths. A cousin of mine followed it and cured her own arthritis with complete success.
You might also look up turmeric on the Earth Clinic site. Good luck, and do report back!

Most importantly, stop eating any/all sugar, anything WITH sugar, and stop eating all processed foods. ONLY eat organic fresh vegetables and some fruit (more veggies than fruit). Eat free-range, good-quality protein like chicken & wild-caught salmon.
Your sister needs to make the decision to eat healthy to BE healthy. Also, start adding ground turmeric to her food regularly which lessens inflammation.

The fluoride binds to the magnesium before it can get into the cells, hence, the body becomes magnesium deficient. This is where the pain starts. There are numerous peer-reviewed studies on the requirements of magnesium and the hundreds of human body processes that require this mineral.
If your sister wants to become healthier, I believe her options are as follows:
1. Find an MD that is holistic in his/her approach to guide your sister in alternative approaches to her diseases
2. Follow Wendy's suggested about diet - this is key
3. Use Mrs. A's suggestion but, I believe your sister is Magnesium deficient so, I would spray magnesium oil on her feet nightly (2-4 sprays), rub in. Do this for life! Order this online or learn how to make it from youtube. It's cheap stuff!
4. Take a tsp of black seed oil (nigella sativa) in the am and pm to help reduced inflammation in the joints. This oil is helping my neighbor greatly with her rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pain and inflammation.
5. Since your sister is taking an anti-depressant, she is at higher risk for dementia and alzheimers than the average population - have her take a couple of tablespoons of organic virgin coconut oil daily.
The key to a healthier body is the desire to put the effort into wellness. I wish your sister the best but also, your kindness towards your sibling humbles me.
By the way John, I take all of these items as a preventative as I begin my middle years. I feel great - no meds for me!
MyWay, :D

Here is a link to what others on EC think of borax for arthritis: https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/arthritis6.html#borax
Here is a link that is also informative about borax: http://www.health-science-spirit.com/borax.htm
Ask your doctor or medical care provider if it could be an option for you and good luck!

Paracetemol, when taken in large dosages over the long term can cause serious liver and kidney damage.
For your mother's depression(instead of fluoxetine) give her 500 mgs niacinamide three times a day. Take B50 complex once a day at breakfast. She should also take 250 mgs magnesium citrate twice a day. You could also obtain some magnesium oil and rub that onto her joints every day for transdermal absorption directly into the joints for benefit. You could also use a 50/50 mix of magnesium oil and DMSO for even better absorption of magnesium into the body.
To help get rid of her peripheral arthritis your mother should mix 1/8 tspn borax mixed into 1 liter of water. Take one liter of this mix every day for 5 days and then take 2 days off and continue like that. Drink this liter of borax solution slowly throughout the whole day -- do not drink it down all in one. You can use 20 Mule team Borax as your borax source, this form is pure enough. Please also note that borax will also help to detox and remove the excess fluorine already in your mother's body as well which has ben caused by her fluoxetine use. See here and here for some interesting research on borax and arthritis.
