Today's Health
Adventure
I am certifiable
I
may have told this story before, but it had to be way before, so I'll repeat.
Several years ago a friend sold his hardware store in Beckley,
WV;
went to Chiropractor school and opened a practice in Florida. In
an
e-mail he told me that he was going gangbusters, and able to "cure"
better than 50% of his patient's ills with applications of DMSO
(Dimethyl sulfoxide). Stuff was widely used to treat race
horses. I
bought some for MoSup.
She suffers from Rheumatoid arthritis and it was really beginning to
affect her life. This stuff worked PDQ on her feet, from whence
her
primary complaint. She also found that by eliminating all red
meat
from her diet, along with the DMSO, she was a springy chicken
again. That was 30 years ago. I use
it myself from time to time for sprains, etc.
Fast forward. I have torn meniscus cartilage in my left
knee. Did it
around the first of the year. I didn't know what it was, but it
was
bad enough that I had to give up doing my 10,000 steps (for Fitbit).
Two weeks ago while I was putting some on MoSup's aching neck I
thought, "Hey!" Applied some on my knee and there was an almost
immediate and noticeable relief, but it stung like hell and caused a
very itchy rash. I bought some DMSO
Gel With Aloe
($6.26 from Walmart) and tried that. It still caused some rash, so I
applied some emu oil cream (also wondrous stuff) first, and
voila.
Yesterday I did 9200 steps.
FWIW. And yes, I am aware of the controversy about using
DMSO. You're welcome. |
