Guest guest Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Lena.. I am at work and can't go into detail now, but I had one that was huge, and it has taken me 8 months, and it is now the size of a pea, and I am still working on it.. If I don't get back to you in a couple of days, please remind me, as I am more than willing to help you, but am just really busy at work..I will not have surgery, as have had surgery on it twice in the past years and it returned.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thanks Teddyberen, I'll remind you for sure! Appreciate anything you can suggest. Meanwhile, the ', ibuprofen and cayenne has reduced the ache a bit. Be well, Léna Lena..

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hi Saralou, (RoseOtto) Thanks! I'll add some Lugol's to my magic roll-on and see if that helps! And maybe add a bit more DMSO, too. DMSO sure does amazing things. It's kind of drying, so I'll alternate with Tea Tree and some other therapeutic oil and see what happens. Meanwhile, I've wrapped it to slow its use down a bit, to keep from aggravating it while working. I think Lyme critters often weaken cartilage by burrowing through it. I've got some shark-cartilage on order to see if that can help rebuild. I really appreciate your list search. thanks a lot!

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Lena, I said it before and I'll say it again, straight DMSO cured mine in a very short time. I wasn't expecting it to do so, was using it for something else, and it was a nice perk. I later found out that it is a little-known treatment for ganglion cysts that works quite well.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi Renate, DMSO is the delivery system of everything else I'm trying. This thing hasn't a chance of making me it career!
