I knew when a doctor smilingly said to me, ‘yep. That’s arthritis. I said ‘oh. So what are we going to do about it? ‘ She smiled and said ‘nothing. It’s the natural aging process ‘. I said, ‘I don’t buy that. You’re saying we all should look forward to getting arthritis eventually? She actually said, ‘mmm hmmm!’ Knowing she was full of shit, I researched it out. Thank you for the article. Validated what I found, as well. Especially turmeric, and ginger.
