Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi, My husband has a sprained knee and when he went for an x-ray, the dr said he also had some arthritis. The area is painful and inflamed, and he's been alternating ice and heat therapy. I'm just wondering if systemic enzymes might help him? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hi Ginger: There are many alternative treatments for OA and a few for RA, which is much more difficult to deal with. For OA: hyaluronic acid, glucosamine sulfate, microlactin and egg shell membrane are helpful in moderation, but by far the best treatment that I have ever used is MSM which can be taken in large quantity without adverse problems for most most people once they have built up to it. There are additional side effects of these beyond joint health. Also, consider using coconut oil (only) in your cooking and plenty of it, but never heat it above 350 deg F, (so no fried foods). Fish oil...cod liver oil... krill oil are also beneficial. http://www.coconutoil.com/hiv.htm Additionally, we are constantly discovering more benefits from Vit D3 and joint health is one of them. Magnesium is also essential as well as trace minerals. Colloidal trace minerals are available from many sources; however, magnesium is nearly impossible to adequately supplement orally. Read Dr. Mark Sircus' book, " Transdermal Magnesium " . Soaking the inflamed area in a warm (not too hot) Zechstein Magnesium Salts bath will bring him immediate relief. A heaping tablespoon of bulk MSM along with the salt bath.. and he will be a new man for the time being. To take the MSM, just scoop it into the mouth followed by a mouthful of water... swish it around for awhile and swallow. You can feel the pain diminish almost immediately. Build up to the MSM, but 1/2 cup per day should be the goal when he is feeling pain. MSM will help the body rid itself of heavy metals. So, too much, too quickly, can be a problem... and most of us have heavy metals bound up in body fat. After about five years of the above treatments, he should be totally free of all OA symptoms. Most of the above are said to help RA to some degree, but we are still learning about this one. >Hi, My husband has a sprained knee and when he went for an x-ray, the dr said he also had some arthritis.
