Heavyduty053 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 This may sound a bit crazy but I put this together and tried it and it works for me. While talking with an elderly gentlemen on day, we got to talking about cold weather and Arthritis and he told me what he has been using for his first finger that was arthritic to the point of curving in and it has straightened his finger out a lot plus took away the pain, he had been using this for years. He got it from his father handed down. I personally put this together and tried it on my middle finger at the joint connecting my hand and it relieves the pain and stiffness greatly. Here it is, give it a try: One bottle of clear rubbing alcohol...pour about 1/3 out Buy a bag or box of Moth balls, mine came with two packs....use one pack, pour into Alcohol Two large pinches of Epsom Salts Put all this in bottle shake real good and put in cabinet for one week to let blend good. After one week pour some on a paper towel and press or hold on affected area and it soak into the skin good. Folks this works, I have tried it and still use it when needed and turned a few more unbelieving people on to it and they said it works. The only drawback from this is the smell of Moth Balls.....it is strong. But relief from Arthritic pain is worth it......Let me know if it works for you. Have a blessed day 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiexpat Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hmmmm. Moth balls are basically a pesticide. I don't think putting a pesticide on my body is the wisest choice, HOWEVER, with that said, I DRINK TURPENTINE DAILY. Good old paint thinner. It is very anti-parasitic and strengthens the immune system. So what do I know? Been doing it since last year without any side-effects and, in fact, I developed an irritation/redness to both eyes for 2-years (thought I was developing an allergy to something) and it cleared right-up in 2 doses. So maybe it is safe in the way it is applied? Good on you for trying. If it helps, go for it. Cheers and to your pain-free health..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 How much turpentine do you drink each day and what time of the day? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWitte Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I heard years ago, ok decades ago, from older people then that said the old remedy for lots of things was to use turpentine. I thought only cuts and stuff like that. Never heard of drinking it. But hey if it works, why not? Usually the old methods work way better than the so called new ones. There's just no money in old medicine. Isn't that what it really boils down to? That scene in Doc Hollywood where Michael J Fox wants to do all that new fangled medical stuff on that kid for swallowing some tobacco and the old Doc gives him a can of coke and solves it all pretty much says it all, right all? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not good ol' oregano oil, or the oldies but goodies - wormwood, black walnut and clove combo? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiexpat Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 10-15 drops on fruit, 1 to 2 times per day. Turpentine has a recorded history over 3,000 years. All the other stuff is more expensive. Turpentine you can buy at the hardware store-quarts of it-for very little. The essential oils of those other things, you go into the health food store and pay a LOT more for the same effect AND you can clean your paint brushes with it. 2 for 1! It is totally safe. Just don't inhale it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavyduty053 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 There are lots of old cures....old remedies our past families used and I wished that I had gotten my Mom and Dad to write them down before they passed away years ago........Some of these old remedies are priceless but bare in mind.......the food and drug administration does not want people straying from paying hugh amounts of money for their pills.........Remember this: the Bible say's that the good lord put a cure here on earth for every illness and every disease but society has trained us to accept their way not look for God's way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage449 Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I had a friend tell me recently that frankincense oil will help arthritis. Its pretty expensive from what I understand - something like $80-90 per oz. I'm going to try hers to see if it works at all before I invest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, we were helpin' an old Vet who is a hoarder and a little gray rat bit an 'OlSarge'sGal on the finger.... She's going to go blind, her kidneys will fail, there'll be foamin' at the mouth -- guess we'd better lay in some Turpentine ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankdude Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I guess I'd recommend the same thing I would for a snake bite...good old whiskey! (Actually as a disinfectant on the bite would be good...) In seriousness - for just about any wound I get anymore I use a redox gel. Helps the skin heal faster, it's disinfecting, and has only 4 non-toxic ingredients. Since you don't have that - I've heard that Vitamin E and B gels can be good. Also have a friend that makes a golden seal compress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiexpat Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 A rat bite? Are you ladies serious? First thing you need to know is: Never lecture a rat or a man (might be a real dirty rat, if you know what I mean). Sticking your pointer in a rat (or man's) face is sure to get a reaction, which might mean your finger gets shorter. Unless the rat is infected with rabies or something crazy like that, just clean the wound well. Keep it clean and covered to prevent further dirt (from that dirty rat) from getting into it. Watch for swelling, discoloration/streaking and you should be fine in a few days. If it gets infected/develop a fever seek medical care. Now, its not poisonous so there is no venom that needs to be neutralized. It is just a dirt rat (I'm talking the 4-legged animal now). You should drop Provendene or similar. into it daily. That is the iodine-based disinfectant that you can buy anywhere. If you cant find that, just use iodine. Makes your skin reddish-brown. Kills everything. This advice is free from a Dr. Dirty Rat. To your health....cheers From what I know of you gals, the rat probably died a horrible death! Hahahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your health....cheers From what I know of you gals, the rat probably died a horrible death! Hahahaha ***/// Dear Witch Doctor: Thank you for your your free diagnosis from your jungle clinic ! We follow you faithfully, as you know we are great believers in both natural remedy & God's power to heal. Yes, bawlin' out a dirty rat should NEVER involve shakin' a finger in his little rat face ! We know that now. The bite has healed, but the skin around the area is leathery and she's lost sensitivity there. She's still freakin' out. But showin' no signs of foamin' at the mouth -- yet. And you're right... that rat is probably on his death bed as we speak for having been so bold as to take on one of the most caustic, acerbic-witted, trained killers on this planet -- an 'OlSarge'sGal ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiexpat Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Ah, ladies! You making me feel sorry for the rat now. Well, I hope it spreads the word to all the other critters. Skin might peel away in time. Skin regenerates every 30-days or so. Nerves might have been damaged, but it too can heal in time.

FlyHi Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hey Doc I just got bitten by a mad as native village dog this morning walking to work at 5am..... I'm not sure is that worse or better than a dirty ole rat What precautions do I need to take. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiexpat Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) FlyHi, sorry to hear. 1. Wash wound site with normal saline-clean well 2. spray or apply providine or iodine-based disinfectant. You can add colloidal silver or tea tree oil, etc also. 3. if flies/bugs/dirt not a problem, keep open and let dry. If they are, cover loosely to protect 4. keep an eye on it AND the dog. Don't know how much rabies they got there DW is spot on: older women are the best. I have nothing in common with a girl. A real woman gets me sweaty. Thai ladies are mostly UGLY. I find very few to be attractive. Something about a grown woman with smaller breast than me doesn't work. Also, I find they are shallow and money-driven and so many lie. Not impressed with them overall. Spanish-blood in an Asian girl make for some nice curves and larger cup size!!!! This is why I go to the Philippines so often. Vietnam too: Small frame with 2 things I can concentrate on. Dunno, just saying...still doesn't compare to Ol Sarge's Gals!
