Where's your arthritis?

Drink some aloe vera gel, a tiny bit in some water, turmeric help inflammation. Aloe Barbendensis Miller has the most active compounds for arthritis is naturally anti-inflammatory. Need at least 80% strength. MSM gels also are anti-inflammatory. Stay away from creams or gels with parabens used a preservatives. I don't care what NIH says about a little won't harm, they're in so many things it's not just a little anymore. Was a WSJ article about them where I think it was Walmart told J&J to remove them, as they were being found in people with breast and skin cancer. Lot of companies have been removing them.

Arthritis is in my hands and knees.

Never tried aloe. But I take glucosamine and chondroitin with MSM. Does topical application make any difference?

Oh and what kind of arthritis is it? There's different kinds.

I haven’t had it formally diagnosed but I don’t have the blood markers for rheumatoid. I’m assuming just standard osteo arthritis.
