Hi! Was taking LDN for MS---since June 20,

2004---when new prescribing doctor examined my hand,

asked a colleague for his opinion, and did x-rays and

blood work to confirm his diagnosis of rheumatoid

arthritus IN REMISSION! Found DLP and white willow in

chat room today and have ordered from Herb Store.

Advised to make tincture of white willow and Ever

Clear alcohol from liquor store to make tincture

myself---less expensive. With luck, goodbye

prescription Ibuprophen with its risk of internal

bleeding. Both MS and RA in remission. Just coming

out of the pain of the hip broken when a dragging foot

sent me off and over a flight of a half dozen concrete

steps without a handrail. Am sure pin in hip didn't

break and feel slight discomfort of metal plate in

leg. Kathie (my kitty's paws) warned chat room that

nervous system is like an onion in that it has many

layers to peel back. She advised we should not be

frightened by new pains as they are signs of the body

healing itself. Great tingling ands pain in left foot

and ankle where neurologist failed to get elec trical

" firing " response to his needle and electrical

current. Foot drag progressed. Recent tingling and

pain has left foot without the puffiness and swelling

that has existed for more than year! Old pain

returning to be healed a great source of hope and

rejoicing for me. Love and hope to all, Shirley

yes, msm helped my sister put away/sell her brace; that had to be worn due to pain and the fact that it gave way on her, and she would fall to the ground/floor, wherever she was!! she takes the combination of msm -

glucosamin, & condroitin!!
