Daily Column

DEAR DR. GOTT:
I am one of your faithful Canadian readers. I have been using Sure Jell Certo now for three years as treatment for arthritis pain. When I first read your article I laughed, but tried it anyway. It worked! I questioned whether it worked because I thought it would or if I felt better because it truly worked. I found out once and for all when I went on vacation and forgot to take it with me. I felt awful and couldn’t wait to get home.

I drink it with my morning pills every day. Because I don’t like grape juice I use 12 ounces of iced tea with ½ a package of the liquid Certo.

DEAR READER:
Thank you for writing your success story. I chose to print it because yours is the first experience I have heard that doesn’t involve the typical purple grape juice. My usual recommendation is eight ounces of purple grape juice with one tablespoon of liquid pectin three times a day and then once relief is felt to go down to eight ounces of the juice with one to two teaspoons of liquid pectin once a day for maintenance.
