| I woke up this morning to find I was another year older, but thanks to you I am active again for the first time in years. I have combined several suggestions I found in your column for arthritis pain. I am taking glucosamine and chondroitin, grape juice and Certo (plant pectin), and turmeric. It made me feel so good I forgot to take it for a few days, and the pain returned. I won't make that mistake again. | to Top |
The experiment that you are conducting is unique. Combining several natural remedies for arthritis hasn't been tested but may offer some advantages. There is research to support using glucosamine to ease arthritis. Many readers report benefit from 1 tablespoon of Certo in 8 ouncwes of purple grape juice daily. Others find that up to 1 teaspoon of turmeric mixed into food can ease joint pain or psoriasis. Turmeric can also be purchased in capsules at the health-food store.
