Maybe this could be useful for all of us - kind of help one another out if we have a question or an answer. My "degree" came from my Grandma, and I wish I had written everything down that she told me!

My Mom will be 84 this year and she's in good health! About three weeks ago she starting having pain in her wrist, then it swelled and went into her hand. A few days later, her other wrist and hand did the same thing. This stays with her all day and is worse in the morning. Last week, she finally went to see a Dr. and "Ali, the nurse there took my blood with a darning needle and it hurt"! The Dr. sent her home with no answers or anything to help her with the pain. The blood test came back without results. She's been icing them, but the longer this goes on, nothing seems to help. We were thinking maybe it's gout, and hoping it's not arthritis.
Any suggestions for joint pain and swelling would sure be helpful and appreciated!

Ali I have arthritis and in the past year I've noticed when I eat walnuts I feel better the next couple of days. Sounds "nuts" LOL! When I finally put two and two together I googled walnuts and arthritis and found this:

Because there is invariably some inflammatory factor in arthritis, most medical and holistic approaches focus on ways to reduce the inflammation. Many of our body's potent natural inflammatory chemicals are derived from nutritional components, and there has been a growing body of information to suggest that inflammation can be modulated through dietary changes.

We know that n-3 polyunsaturated (omega-3) fatty acids may tip the balance of chemicals in favor of anti-inflammatory effects. These fatty acids are most abundant in cold water fish , flax seeds, and walnuts.

It's the Omega 3 oils in the walnuts that helps with the inflammation. Give it a try.

I don't know if this works but worth a shot...

Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around.  Facts on honey and cinnamon:  It is found that a mixture of honey and cinnamon cures most diseases.  Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world.  Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.  Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of disease. 
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.  Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, on its issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured.  In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.



Here's the rest:

Quote:
 
HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and c innamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast.  It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack.  Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat.  In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as  you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it.  It destroys the germs in the bladder.

TOOTHACHE:
Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply on the aching tooth.  This may be applied three times a day until the tooth stops aching.

CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours.  As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured.  According to information received in the said journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.

GAS:
According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that if honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks.  Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts.  Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacteria and viral diseases. 

INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural
Ingredient which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age.  Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder and three cups of water and boil to make like tea.  Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day.  It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age.  Life spans also increases and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.

PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water.  If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one
cup of water.  If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person.  Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully.  Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a day.

FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than! than being  detrimental to the strength of the body.
Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible.  Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

BAD BREATH:
People of South America, first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restore hearing.

BSB,

I've heard for years that honey has 'medicinal' properties if taken on a regular basis as well as helping with allergies. HOWEVER, the honey has to come from hives local to where you live ... buying it off the grocery store shelf ain't a-gonna do it. So check out the farmers markets, etc ...

That makes alot of sense, Dawg. I usually buy my honey from an Amish vendor named Peachy. But there farms are about two hours from here - think that's close enough?

If the bees are getting their pollen from the same plants that are grown in your area, it will help with any allergies. The honey produced as close to your area as possible would be the best for you. Back when we had 28 hives of bees, it didn't take long for local people to find out about ours and bought their honey from us regularly.

Oh, BTW, I forgot to add my home remedy in that last post. If you have sore feet and they hurt when you walk, get some powered cayenne pepper, sprinkle the inside of your socks with the pepper, put your shoes on and you're good to go. When you first put them on you will get a tingling burning sensation, but in a few minutes the pain will be gone and your feet will feel much better.

I haven't tried it yet, but I did see it on TV by one of the Drs. that comes on as a guest on one of the news programs;

Alergy help;

Get the honey that is collected from as close to where you live as possible and also UNCOOKED, you know it is heated to some degree before sells.

I think it was Dr. Rosenthal talking about the use of honey for allergy on Fox cable news, but I'm not for sure if it was him that said it or not?

Of interest to me; Some years ago I did a search on what all the Holy Bible says about "honey" and have forgotten much of it, I am in favor of honey in proper amounts, I leave the amount for yourselves up to you.

I also learned that lentels/beans are mentioned, (I love beans, but they don't seem to love me though :o ), I also use grape juice.

I have found that although I don't think it is directly mentioned in the Holy Bible, that cranberry juice is good for my kidneys, so ever so often I drink crangrape, also grape and cranberry juice individually.

Science seems to back up the use of these, I'm not saying that the things we take or eat should all be found in the Holy Bible, I just thought it was interesting those were mentioned.

Ali, I'm sorry I don't have something to recommend for your precious mom and I too would like to know more about home treatment for arthritis, my sweetheart wife has it.

I will be ckecking back into this topic, it is a good read.

Thank you all,
Duke

I have osteoarthritis with a lot of inflamation along with it. I take A supplemment made by NatureMade called Triple Relief. it has glucosamine and MSM and Lubravite to lube the joints. You can buy it at WalMart, kroger, and online at Amazon.com. I also take Omega 3. That is very good for the inflamation and also helps to lower cholesterol.

If you ever have insomnia try taking at least 500 Mg. of magnesium with your dinner. it really helps. :dancing cool:

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop.

2. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the shower.

3. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

4. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

5. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.

6. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

AMM - It takes a while for this stuff to work (glucosamine and MSM, not sure about the lube stuff) - it builds up in your system (I believe the doctor told my dad two to three months for full effect). My father doesn't take Triple Relief, but he takes different pills with the same ingredients - he swears by them.
