Hello,

Is there a Alternative treatment for Arthritis please help i am in a lot of pain need a cure for this now joints swollen too. I cry at times and the shame the other day told my mom to take out my t-shirt cause i was unable to do it after 5min of trying. Any help is appreciated.

Do you know what kind of arthritis you have? A lot depends on the kind of arthritis.

For starters, I take Standard Process vitamins because they're all natural and not the synthetic kind you get in a lab. Years ago, a naturopathic doctor told me that a lot of my health problems were do to nutritional insufficiencies and that the body will try to heal itself if you give it the proper materials to work with. There's a yahoogroup that discusses Standard Process, which is sold by doctors, chiropractors, naturopathic doctors, etc. and you can ask them at:

http://groups.yahoo.com./group... try copper supplements and magnetic therapy...sometimes they work but nothing really is a 100% ... do you go to physical therapy? Have you seen a rhumatologist for pain or a diagnosis of what type of arthritis you have? My grandmother used to put ball moss in a jar and pour rubbing alcohol over it. After a day of soaking, she would rub the alcohol on her joints. She swore it helped. =( I'm sorry. I understand that fish oils are good because they decrease inflammation. You'd have to research it a bit. turmeric capsules are very helpful I am so sorry to hear you are in so much pain. My boyfriend's aunt has really bad arthritis in her knees, and she uses the Lakota line. They have supplements...but she really like the roller ball thing. Here't the link: http://www.lakotaherbs.com/
