I know there are some very intelligent anons on here. My wife needs help with arthritis. She has tried all the medications given for this but she is getting pretty bad. Elbows and hips. She almost can't climb steps. The scary thing is swallowing. A few times a year when she eats, the first bite leads immediately to hiccups and can't swallow for 10 or 15 minutes. Now it's a couple times a month. 10 years of doctors blame it on arthritis and prescribe things that don't help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My wife has read all these replies. She asked me to thank you all. Thank-you. She is actively investigating all. When I really want real information, I ask POAL!

Many of the responses had to do with diet. I mentioned my mom taking water kefir. Water kefir is a probiotic (good bacteria) that attacks bad bacteria in your gut. When we eat bad/greasy foods, harmful bacteria such as candida and others create colonies in our guts. It is amazing what happens to a person when they introduce good bacteria and flush the bad. Most ailments can be cured when a person focuses on gut health.

My mom couldn't open her hands, and now she is completely fine for years afterward.
