About Karen Brawner Expertise I can answer questions regarding osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. I can also answer questions regarding other autoimmune diseases of which rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease.
Experience I have a family history of rheumatoid arthritis and I myself suffer from osteoarthritis. I also suffer from systemic sclerosis and CREST syndrome which are also autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease.)
Question An MD (Peter Gott) writing in the Dallas morning News recently published a "recipe" using Certo and grape juice for arthritis pain. He admits he has no idea how it works, but says it can't hurt anything. Certo is apparently a product (possibly a brand name) used in making jelly. Do you have any idea where I can get some? I have had No luck at local stores or on the internet, and the paper didn't publish a way to contact Dr Gott.
Thanks
Jo
Answer Dear Jo, THis is a home remedy that goes all the way back to at least the 1940's..... One teaspoon of Certo in 8 oz. of grape juice DAILY, but on the otherhand, some reference is make to 2 teaspoons in 3 oz. of grape juice three times per day .... It may and may not work, but it is worth a try....
Here is the web site you were looking for and this can be found in ANY drug store that carried canning supplies (Food Lion, Publix, Food Max etc....
