THE CURE

9 Replies

Have to laugh, if only it could work - I was talking with my neighbour this evening and she asked how I was feeling. I just said my knee was playing up again and I am seeing Physio tomorrow. She said her knees used to be painful when it was damp weather but if I take cider vinegar mixed with honey and drink it every day I won't need Physio or hospital appointments....if only it was that easy!

Any other good advice?

Hope you are all doing ok.

I've actually heard that before, but.... like you say if only :-) Do you remember some years ago when a story in the press said people were using WD40 on their joints?????????????? Oh right :-)

Lol! I have had that one a few times too. I had a comment today from my friend who said she was watching a medical program and a lady had been brought into hospital with something else but mentioned that she had ra. However she wasn't in any pain and seemed fine?? I then, once again, find myself trying to justify why some people are and some are not !! Why do feel I need to do this ! Sorry just a bit of a rant there xxx hope you are doing okay too x

I've got some 3 in 1 oil. Will that work? Or does it have to be WD40? 😉

Seriously though, I hope the physio goes well. I have a very good one me and my family have used for years for various injuries.mso lets hope the one you are seeing is as good.

maybe the 3 in 1 is WD40, vinegar AND honey, lol.

Ah, that will be from the Margaret Hills book "Treating Arthritis The Drug Free Way" which I've actually read! I'm sure diet is an important part of handling the disease as a whole but it certainly isn't a cure. Funny the ideas people get about arthritis, isn't it? Very misunderstood.

Yes it is. I believe diet has a role to play as well, and exercise. We can only try and help ourselves as much as we are able to. Take care.
