Beamer (Brissy, Queensland) on 10/16/2024
I am writing this to give hope to others. I had a neck injury in 1994. Fast forward to 2008 (14 years) and a chiropractor showed me the x-ray of the bone spurs on my neck. The said this size was large but to be expected seeing the injury was 14 years ago. Fast forward to today (October 2024) 30 years from injury - x-ray results have come back showing osteoarthritis in the base of my neck, but NO MENTION OF BONE SPURS at all. They were taken to investigate some numbness and tingling in both hands, so if they were seen, it would have been mentioned.
This is from multiple factors. I found a facebook group about orthomolecular medicine and vitamin C - in 2014 I started high dosing Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Then I started taking many other vitamins, minerals, supplements of various kinds. I have used borax/boron, raw red wine vinegar with mother (I am intolerant to apples), alkalising drinks, fulvic/humic acid, I take supplements to help my body digest food including high dose bromelain with each meal, vitamin D3 and K2, grapeseed extract and resveratrol, alphalipoic acid, ginkgo biloba, omega 3 oil, borage seed oil, theanine. I regularly use castor oil mixed 50/50 with essential oils for joint pain. I found 40% rosemary EO, 40% peppermint EO and 20% clove bud EO helped the most. This EO blend diluted with castor oil was used on my hips and lower back where I had the most issues since 2006.
The only thing I can tell you for sure is to (1) take your supplements in a form that is best for your body (each vitamin will have different forms so folinic acid can be used by everyone, but folic acid needs to be converted a few times before your body uses it and about a quarter of the population can't do this, zinc citrate is easily absorbed by the body where zinc picolinate isn't, liquid supplements are usually absorbed better than tablets - put tablets you take in a glass of water overnight to see if they dissolve as some don't, so I will bite my gel caps and squeeze the contents out of it as those don't dissolve in a glass of water) and (2) in a high enough dose. Research doses in Ayurveda - it is often one heaping teaspoon, 3 times a day. If you are talking 00 capsule size, one heaping teaspoon is 4 to 8 capsules. I read a herbalist saying the dosages on the bottles of capsules of herbs weren't even close to the dose she would prescribe. We have the RDA on a bottle of vitamins, but this is the minimum needed to prevent your teeth falling out from scurvy, etc. In my case, for me to become healthier, I needed much more than the RDA. So I didn't regularly get x-rays, but I am here to say that our body is truly amazing and will heal itself given the right things.
Eucalyptus Oil for Bone Spurs Terri (Tyler) on 10/26/2023
Eucalyptus oil dissolves bone spurs
How I dissolve bone spurs. I massage my feet at bedtime & after my morning shower with coconut oil & Eucalyptus oil.
I had been using only the coconut oil for years, but when I added the eucalyptus oil, I started getting relief w/in a few days.
1/4 tsp coconut oil + 5 drops of Eucalyptus oil. For any bone pain (osteoarthritis), I add 2 drops lavender oil. Rub palms to mix, then massage the whole foot sole, especially where the spurs/pains are. Cover w/ankle socks until absorbed (about 10 min). If I'm up walking around afterward, I wear crocs.
It takes 1-2 months to totally dissolve bone spurs!

Apple Cider Vinegar Not Helping Bone Spur and Arthritis in Hip Julia (Ohio) on 02/24/2022
I have been taking apple cider vinegar for 3 months to help with arthritis and bone spurs in my hip. The pain just seems to be worse than before I started. I was wondering I’m just “detoxing” for 3 months or is Apple Cider Vinegar not the thing for me??? Is it true that it can be too acidic for my body? I thought it was to help me and that it is an alkaline ph. I’m just confused. Thank you in advance for any comments you may write to help me.

DMSO for a Bone Spur Raindear (Pahrump, Nv) on 01/17/2021
About a month ago I closed my right hand into a fist and saw I had a lump the size of a pea on my index finger knuckle. My husband suggested it might be a bone spur. I started putting DMSO on it. I used the DMSO about four times over a week or 10 days. I noticed that the lump was shrinking about 4 days into the treatment. It is now almost gone. I am so excited that I just had to share.
Stefanie (Philadelphia, Pa) on 05/25/2019
I have a bone spur on my big toe. Not much pain but it’s no longer flexible like it was. When I try to bend it when I walk that’s when I feel a burning pain. Been using Organic ACV with the mother. One tbsp in the morning and one at night. I’ve been doing this less than a week so haven’t noticed anything different so far. Also, just started with Magnesium powder. I’ve read about boron/borax but seems like it’s important to get the magnesium levels up in the body before taking boron, but keeping it in mind. Any advice would be appreciated!
Frank M. (United States) on 02/24/2019
I had been dealing with debilitating knee issues and I thought the cause was scar tissue. so I went to an orthopedist where, of course, knee replacement surgery was recommended. I did not like the answer, so I bought some tools to work the scar tissue away, but problems ensued. After more research, I realized the pain was caused by osteophytes or, bone spurs.
More research suggested apple cider vinegar may have some benefits in dissolving of the calcium build up. I still had nearly a full bottle so I began taking 1-2 table spoons full each morn a week ago, and I am quite pleased with the results thus far.
Of course the BIG arthritis foundations call it a myth and suggest, you guessed it, FDA approved pharmaceutical medications.
Castor Oil for Bone Spurs Janet (Lagrange, Ky) on 08/03/2018
I used castor oil on my feet at night to get rid of bone spurs on the bottom of my feet. After showering I rubbed a generous amount of castor oil on my feet put on socks and slept with them on all night for about 1 month. The bone spurs are gone and my feet feel so much better. I recommend that to anyone with aching feet. It works.
Re: Castor Oil for Bone Spurs Angelwing (Australia) on 11/14/2017
My Mum and aunt have both successfully got rid of bone spurs on their feet using castor oil. I've also started using it on a Haglund's deformity on my heel and it is shrinking.
Vitamin K2 for Bone Spurs Whisperingsage (Ca) on 08/30/2017
Vitamin K2 (Not K1) which drives the calcium to the right places and drives calcium away from the wrong places. Yes, when I have it in stock, (it's expensive) my wrists and thuimbs are strong, but when I run out they hurt again. But more than this, K2 also keeps your blood vessels clear.
Cabbage Leaves, Kombucha Scoby Reduces Swelling From Haglund's Deformity Inara (Australia) on 11/11/2016
I have Pump Bump (Haglund's Deformity) more than ten years. Physio and med. doctors can't help. Spent lots of money and wasted time. What helps wonderful to reduce swelling is fresh cabbage leaves. I apply it not only all night but even keep it on during all day when staying home. No mess and no pain. Also very effective to reduce swelling is Kombucha's scoby. Without these precautions my foot get swollen afternoon and evening. Also I taken Boswellia tablets 3x . I'm still need some advice how to get rid of inflammation. I refused take antibiotics - doctor prescribed Voltaren.
Sorry for poor English( Its my third language). I hope cabbage leaves and scoby will help to some people.
Apple Cider Vinegar for Bone Spur Karen (California) on 07/19/2016
I have tried soaking an ace bandage in apple cider vinegar for a bone spur. Put in plastic bag overnight and my foot by next morning my area that was very swollen had almost gone down to normal. I was diagnosed with bone heel spur and calcification and Dr.wanted to do surgery and sever my tendon. No way. PLEASE try the vinegar and overnight and maybe a few times. It works. Believe me.
Apple Cider Vinegar Wrap Helped Painful Bone Spur Clatterbuck (Beltsville, Md) on 07/02/2016
I have a bone spur and walking had become really painful, especially when I woke up in the morning. I tried vinegar and it worked.
I soaked a washcloth in apple cider vinegar, wrapped it around my heel and put my foot in a gallon sized food storage bag. My husband thought I was crazy. I kept the bag and washcloth on my foot for about two hours (while I watched TV) for three evenings. My foot feels so much better. It's not perfect, but so much better. I can walk again without pain. I don't know how it works, but it does. I am going to keep using it until there is absolutely no discomfort at all.
Multiple Remedies Helping Bone Spurs, More Suggestions Welcome Rickdl (New York, Ny) on 10/09/2015
My xrays in recent months revealed that I have hip bone spurs as a result of moderate hip arthritis and I am only 40. Clearly disappointed... did a lot of reading on natural remedies and have started trying the following:
1. Apple Cider Vinegar (1 Tbsp per day diluted in 500ml water)
2. Glucosamine Chondroitin (Glucosamine 1500mg/day)
3. Supplement containing Vitamin A, C, D3, E, B1, B2, B6 and B12 and also has Mg, Copper, Boswellia Serrata,
4. Vitamin D3 1000IU (1 tablet daily)
5. Once in a while I take Calcium Magnesium (333mg/167mg resp)
Its been 6 weeks since I started on this protocol and have seen some relief to my hip pain. If any of you have tried other remedies please share. I am heavily counting on ACV, Glucosamine and Mendamine to reverse my condition if possible to the least slow my progression.
FYI, I am not in pain but some discomfort occasionally in groin and buttock area. Feel the pain when I get in/out of car but its a very mild pain. Also, I walk on treadmill for 2 miles (30 mins) everyday for 4 to 5 days a week for last few weeks.
Re: Milk and Bone Spurs Sharon (Tennessee) on 10/08/2015
I used to get bone spurs in a couple places on my fingers. They went away after I quit drinking milk. Almond milk can replace the milk you drink. The problem with milk is that the calcium in it has been heated- and many times can not assimilate into the body correctly- thus it attaches itself to joints, and sometimes even kidney stones.
Try it. Hope it helps. There are many types of almond milk to pick from. The unsweetened vanilla is better tasting, but I can drink any of them.
Re: Castor Oil for Bone Spurs Helen (Mn) on 09/15/2015
About 10 yrs ago, I had plantar fasciitis. I used the castor oil massage followed at bedtime by a saturated cotton ball directly over the site, covered by piece of plastic bag, a not too tight ace wrap, and a sock. I wore Haflinger brand wool clogs (excellent arch support) any time I was not wearing shoes. I took turmeric daily, 1/2 tsp beaten into an egg. fried "scrambled" fashion until just done (turmeric breaks down under excessive heat. Absorbed better with a fatty carrier.) Not bad. In a week the pain was greatly reduced. Over time, all pain was gone. After about a year, I could not detect the place where the bone spur had formed on my heel.
I now go bare foot again and the problem has not recurred.
Diatomaceous Earth Helped Heal Bone Spur Lisa (Texas) on 03/17/2015
For bone spurs, try taking 1 1/2 tablespoons of food grade Diatomaceous Earth every morning and late afternoon. DE boosts your energy levels and can keep some people awake when you should be sleeping.
My bone spur is gone from my right heel, and the neuropathy, which developed after having a bone spur surgically removed from my left foot, is completely gone.
The arthritis in my ankles and wrist has subsided, as well.
I bought mine from a Farm Store and paid $20 for a 10 pound bag, which should last me 8 months. Good Luck...
Gelatin for Bone Spurs Suzi (Belize) on 11/18/2014
Has anyone ever heard of using Knox gelatin to get rid of bone spurs? My mother used it several times and once I had them and it worked. I don't remember the amount though.
Plumbing Washer to Remove Bone Spur Ross (New York, US) on 09/05/2014
Heel spurs are the easiest to remove and I mean remove. No operation needed. Just get a plumbing washer that fits comfortable, tape it to your heal exactly centered to the bone spur with duct tape.
Pain will be gone, and you will feel just a mild discomfort. After about two weeks (the more you walk or run the faster the results) you will see a white spot in the middle of the washer. Walk another couple of days just to be sure, then remove the washer, get a good sterilized needle, go into the white spot (you will hardly feel anything) about half inch and come out. Now squeeze the entire heel moving toward the center of the white spot and out comes the calcium that was misdirected because you did not take enough magnesium and vitamin K.
