I found something that helps my arthritic thumb

I’ve been taking 2 single serving packets of this stuff a day, sometimes 3 a day and it’s helping my joints feel better, not so much aching and it helps with the neuropathy

Plus it helps increase my protein intake

I have to be careful of anything medicine / supplement like to make sure it won't interact with my transplant meds. I'll look into the Borax. I have been taking this and it has helped with the arthritis in my thumb joints:

I put a half scoop in my first cup of Joe in the morning and a full scoop in the occasional protein shake. Been taking it for a few years now. It ain't cheap but it has cut the pain in the joint when I grip things by a noticeable amount. This is the unflavored one but they also make it in chocolate and vanilla. The flavored ones taste decent but they don't dissolve as easily as the unflavored.

Both of you kind of pointed out a disconcerting fact. 1 in 7 adults in the US suffers from arthritis. That fact alone makes the treatment of the symptoms a half trillion dollar a year industry. That is a half trillion reasons every year not to actually cure the illness, especially if the illness could be treated effectively for literally pennies a day. A 4 pound box of borax is $6 at Walmart. It contains about 1000 daily doses which would last about 3 years. That works out to less than a penny a day and in my case at least, it works. Can you imagine the monetary loss to those companies that "treat" arthritis if more people did use this treatment? When looked at that way, it makes a lot of sense why when the doctor in Australia approached a pharma company they went to the parliament and got borax declared to be "poison" and removed it from anything used for human consumption. If they know what is causing the illness and withhold that information in order to profit, they are the second lowest form of human scum that exists. The first lowest being those politicians who made it happen.

I am not a doctor, and I don't know it all, but if my livelihood depended on something continuing to exist, I would do all in my power to make sure it kept existing.

Now you’re making me wonder what causes arthritis


Mine is in my spine after back surgeries & doc said caused by trauma, same as the arthritis in my knees, caused by trauma as well as my ankles 

so far hands are arthritis free…..but I’m not holding my breath 

like how diabetes is “managed” but no cure exists as it’s a billion dollar money machine

Not all of it is caused by trauma, though that is the cause of a lot of it. All sorts of people get arthritis without ever having experienced trauma at a joint.

Exactly like how diabetes is managed. Over the last 4 years we have seen the government and doctors who made many people sick on purpose in order to make money. It would be naive to think they wouldn't keep someone sick in order to make money.

Know a guy who shot hundreds of thousands of full house 357 mags, 41 mag, 44 Mag & carried a 41 mag on duty & was a firearm instructor in the early 80’s for years & they qualified 4 times a year shooting full power ammo 

He finally retired with 30+ years on the job & now his hands are so beat up with arthritis he can barely shoot 9mm & really loves the 32 H&R Magnum 

Makes me glad I could not afford 357 Magnum & 44 Magnum 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
