I've got arthritis in the shooting hand, but hope to get through the Gold Dot .357 Short Barrel ammo without too much pain.
I average 2 keyboards destroyed a year... as someone who types more than 12 million keystrokes a year, as a programmer and a violinist, I think looked up "arthritis" in the dictionary and saw a pic of my hands...
I went to the doctor, and if you've ever watched Grey's Anatomy, then you know all they know is how to "cut cut cut".. So they said I would need surgery and I would never play the violin nor be a computer programmer ever again..
(6 years later..)
my bones are smooth as silk, my violin playing still sucks, and I average a bit less, about 8 million keystrokes a year, but still substantial.
And all it cost me was about $60..
So if you are willing to stick to it, and give it a try, $60 bet, here's the recipe for anti-arthritis that I used, given to me by my friend, who is a holistic doctor..
1 Glass of Orange Juice (preferably fresh squeezed, if not, at least 100% juice and not from concentrate)
1 packet of Knox Gelatin
Twice a day, dump one packet of knox gelatin into 1 glass of OJ. stir stir stir, drink.

A box like this is about $60 and has 48 packets, which is a 24 day supply @ 2x a day.
Your hair, teeth, nails, will feel MUCH better. Our bodies can't produce soft tissue fast enough to replace what we've worn out. Most Americans don't have soft cartilage based items as part of their meals such as chicken feet, pig's foot, beef tendon, or sea kelp as part of their regular diet. So, Knox is then the way to go.. Your body will take the predigested soft cartilage (knox) and just absorb it and use it; you skip the production cycle. After about 10 days, you'll notice it in your hair, and nails especially.
Why OJ and does it have to be OJ? Not really, but knox has a slight taste if you have a good tongue, the OJ masks the taste. Also, OJ is generally high in calcium and vitamin C, and being a citric acid, will be acidic in your mouth, but will be alkaline in your small intestine.
For me, my fingers and hands, definitely worth 2 OJ's and some knox..
If you try it and it works out well for you, PM me. Best of luck.
