DMSO – ARTHRITIS
Product information – 50% DMSO Gel
Arthritis is everybody’s disease! If you live long enough, you will have some form of this condition.
The treatments available for pain relief varies from gold injections, cortical steroids and aspirin to name but a few. At best, these treatments give short term relief but some of them, like Aspirin have some nasty long term effects on the body.
The medical profession describes arthritis as a degenerative disease “having no known cause and no known cure”. I personally find this extremely sad, because it has been proven over and over for many years by many professional people that diet, in particular sugar, plays a huge role in arthritis.
Yes, I agree that once arthritis has disabled and handicapped someone there is probably no reversal. However, DMSO in combination with the correct diet relieves pain, and in some cases even reverses some of the damage. The problem with arthritis, from a human aspect, is that as we get older we put little aches and pains down to “the age”, probably take pain killers which will aggravate symptoms on a long term basis, and is still digging into bad foods!
A number of medical studies have shown low levels of sulfur in arthritic joints. This would lead to the probability that lack of sulfur is a factor in osteoarthritis. Most people with arthritis that visit hot spring health resorts report positive results. The water in these hot springs usually contains a large amount of natural sulfur. While the hot water may also be of benefit, the most important healing aspect of these hot springs is most likely the sulfur in the water.
DMSO is the best treatment for arthritis, whether it is osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis and the beauty of DMSO is that it can be used in so many ways. It is quite often used (below the waist) for knees and feet by applying DMSO gel and wrapping the affected area/s firstly in a thin layer of gauge bandage and covering that with Saran or Glad Wrap. This is left in place for about 2 hours the first time. If no skin irritation develops, the next time you may leave the wrapping on overnight while you sleep.
An example of a patient who got immediate results was a 67 year-old man who could not move his finger. A lotion containing DMSO and capsicum pepper was applied to this man’s finger. A few minutes later he was moving his finger.
DMSO greatly reduces the pain and muscle spasms around arthritic joints. It improves blood flow which helps bring needed nutrients to the damaged area. It provides biologically available sulfur to the damaged joint, and reduces inflammation.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DIET
An over-acidic diet high in refined carbohydrates and sugars is the biggest contributor to arthritis together with food additives, artificial colors and flavors, preservatives, MSG and other additives ending in –ate.
