DEAR DR. GOTT:
I started taking Certo seven years ago thanks to your column. Certo has a tartness that bothers my stomach so I tried using other brands. They worked just as well as the Certo. Then, four years ago, I found apple pectin capsules after doing an internet search on “pectin”. I buy them at my local health food store. Two 700 mg capsules daily keeps me pain free.

DEAR READER:
Thank you for writing to remind other readers that generic pectin is just as effective as brand name Certo. It is also more cost effective. Now we can also add apple pectin capsules to the mix.

Readers, if you have tried apple pectin pills, please let me know your results. I will print a follow-up article with the results.

DEAR DR. GOTT:
I enjoy your column and would like to respond to the lady who wrote in about bulk pectin. I do a lot of jam making each year and purchase my pectin in bulk. It is fairly inexpensive. I have found it widely available in both Pennsylvania and Ohio Amish communities. It comes in half pound, one pound and larger.

I get mine from Kauffman’s, 3097 Old Philadelphia Pike, Bird-In-Hand, PA 17505. I hope this helps your arthritis sufferers who use grape juice and pectin.

DEAR READER:
I was not aware that pectin could be purchased in such large packages. I am passing on this information and the address for the benefit of my readers.

Thanks for writing.

To give you related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Understanding Osteoarthritis” and “Dr. Gott‘s Compelling Home Remedies”. Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed, stamped number 10 envelope and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title(s).
