Natural treatment for arthritis rheumatism
Arthritis affects more than 40 million people and can range from an occasional twinge in a finger to incapacitating full-body pain. We don't understand why some people are immune to joint pain well into their 90s, while others can be so severely crippled by half that they can barely drag their bones out of bed in the morning. We don't have anything remotely resembling a cure for arthritis, although there are dozens of prescription and over-the-counter products that can temporarily reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Natural treatment for arthritis rheumatism
Arthritis affects more than 40 million people and can range from an occasional twinge in a finger to incapacitating full-body pain. We don't understand why some people are immune to joint pain well into their 90s, while others can be so severely crippled by half that they can barely drag their bones out of bed in the morning.
We don't have anything remotely resembling a cure for arthritis, although there are dozens of prescription and over-the-counter products that can temporarily reduce inflammation and relieve pain. However, they all have the potential to cause side effects. It is estimated that 100,000 people are hospitalized each year due to adverse reactions to NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
They can cause indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, bleeding ulcers, kidney damage, skin rash, ringing in the ears, fluid retention, drowsiness, and confusion. And painkillers like Advil, Aleve, Clinoril, Indocin, Lodine, Motrin, and Relafen can interact with many other medications in potentially dangerous ways. Newer medications like Celebrex and Vioxx are less likely to cause stomach damage but may still interact with other medications.
Home remedies, herbal therapies, and nutritional supplements all offer reasonable options for people looking for relief from arthritis pain. Not every remedy works for everyone - but neither do medical prescriptions.

Some have found gin and raisins to be incredibly helpful. A minority of people find it doesn't help, but most people seem to get a lot of benefit, even for those who didn't get any benefit from prescription medications.
Many doctors find this hard to swallow. Many write it off as a placebo effect, but there have been too many incredible recoveries, stories unseen for placebos.
Purple pectin
Here is another amazing home remedy or arthritis. Certo contains pectin, a natural ingredient found in the cell walls of plants and the peel of vegetables and fruits. It is used as a thickener in jams and jellies. Do-it-yourselfers have been using Certo for decades. It can be found in the canning section of most grocery stores, next to the mason jars, lids, and rubber bands.
This home remedy has been around for a long time and there are variations on the recipe. Certo in grape juice can also work wonders for arthritis pain. But of course there are those who say it is worthless to them. However, this is often the case with medication prescriptions, sometimes they work and sometimes there is no benefit, just side effects and doctors cannot explain why.
By the way, pectin has been shown to lower cholesterol and reduce atherosclerosis in animals. And grape juice can reduce the tendency of blood to clot, which may mean it may prove just as effective as wine in preventing heart attacks.
