DEAR DR. GOTT:
My right thumb pained me constantly from arthritis. I read about the castor oil treatment you recommended and although it seemed like a stretch, I thought “nothing ventured, nothing gained“. I rubbed a few drops every night over the painful area and after a few days, the pain subsided. As long as I keep rubbing the oil on, I’m pain free. I still don’t have strength in that thumb, but it’s wonderful not to have constant pain. So, one more advocate of the castor oil treatment.
DEAR READER:
Thank you for sharing your experience. There are numerous endorsements for arthritis, including grape juice and pectin, anti-inflammatories, over-the-counter Castiva, and prescription drugs. Plain castor oil is simple and effective. If it works, stick with it.
