There is now an almost universally-helpful natural treatment for arthritis which builds the cartilage up in the joints. It consists of glucosamine sulphate 500mg capsules, 2 after brkfst and 2 after supper daily until the pain is gone (may take months), then 1 after brkfst and supper dly; and omega-3 oils (fish-body, flax or evening primrose oil) 1 tblsp or 3 1,000mg capsules after brkfst AND supper dly. Some, such as Dr Jason Theodosakis who "wrote the book" (The Arthritis Cure), maintain that it is important to also take chondroitin sulphate twice-dly, but I've seen dramatic cures without it.

One is a man who, when he was 63 yrs old, had bone-on-bone knee X-rays. His knees made a crunching sound when he tried to walk, which he really couldn't, due to the pain. His Tucson chiropractor/ naturopath, Dr Sheldon Deal, put him on GS-500 caps, 2 2x/d, and omega-3 oils, which he toook in a dosage of 4 caps 2x/d. Now, 5 yrs later, the patient is playing tennis and has 1/4-inch of cartilage between the bones of his knees, on X-rays!

So I felt compelled to write the following letter to the official arthritis 'authorities' in America, in response to being sent an unsolicited issue of their monthly magazine:

Dear Sir and Madam,

Please remove my name and address from your circulation-list.

Your organizations are too wedded to the medical drug/ surgery/ radiation mythology for me to take your magazine seriously at all. You may put me on a potential list for the day in the future when you do finally adopt the natural approach to arthritis prevention and treatment, which is already much more effective - and with minimal side-effects, if any.

Thanks.
Yours faithfully,

John V DOMmisse, MD, FRCPC
