DEAR DR. GOTT: I recently read a response from a reader about castor oil rubs and grape juice with pectin.
I, too, have had 3 cortisone shots in my hip (no recommendation from my doctor for hip surgery) and so far they only offer temporary relief.
Inasmuch as I did not read your original article about the castor oil rubs and grape juice with pectin, I am very interested in knowing your instructions for such. I realize there is no guarantee that this treatment will help me but I would like to give it a try.
DEAR READER: Castor oil is simply rubbed onto the affected joint or joints twice a day.
To eight ounces of purple grape juice, add 1-2 tablespoons liquid pectin. This mixture can be taken up to 3 times a day until pain is decreased and then reduced to 1 glass per day as a maintenance.
Because of the high reader interest, I have recently written a health report that contains the most popular and effective home remedies.
To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Dr. Gott’s Compelling Home Remedies”. Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed 4 ¼” X 9 ½” letter-sized stamped envelope and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.
