ANSWERS FROM KAREN MALLINGER<br />

QUESTION: I have been told that ACETYL-MYRISTOLEETE will help arthritis. Is this a<br />

herbal substance? What can you tell me about it?<br />

ANSWER: Unfortunately, cetyl myristoleate is not natural or herbal. It is a <strong>com</strong>pound developed by a man<br />

named Harry W. Diehl in a home lab in Maryland. I did some research for you and it seems his <strong>com</strong>pany sells<br />

this product and includes milk thistle, which is a liver tonic and cleanser. My first question is, if this is healthy,<br />

why include a liver cleanser?<br />

The following list includes several herbs that may help relieve the pain of arthritis. There is no known cure.<br />

· Devil's Claw: an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, digestive stimulant, Devil's Claw is officially recognized as an<br />

anti-rheumatic in Europe.<br />

· Yucca: Yucca improves digestion with actives called saponins. A problematic digestive system can result in<br />

excess histamine production, which leads to worsened inflammation and pain in some people.<br />

· Alfalfa leaf: Alfalfa leaves provide needed nutrients to help bring your body to a healthy and aid in healing.<br />

· Wild Yam root: (AKA Rheumatism Root) This root is an anti-inflammatory that can help reduce pain. It also<br />

has mild diuretic properties to gently cleanse the body of toxins and waste.<br />

· Sarsaparilla root: Sarsaparilla is officially recognized in Europe for its anti-rheumatic, anti-inflammatory<br />

properties.<br />

· White Willow bark: White Willow Bark contains salicin, a pain reliever. Salicin is used to make aspirin, but<br />

when the herb is used, it will not irritate the stomach.<br />

· Horsetail: Horsetail contains silica, which is vital in strengthening and regenerating connective tissue (found<br />

abundantly in joints).<br />

· Chickweed: a mild laxative, Chickweed aids in overall cleansing of the body. The laxative effect is so mild<br />

that most people do not notice it.<br />

As with any herb, if you are pregnant or nursing, or if you are taking any type of medication, you should consult<br />

your doctor.<br />

ANSWERS FROM DAVID BRILL<br />

PAIN<br />

QUESTION: I'm finding that the fingers on both hands are difficult to manipulate 1st<br />

thing in the morning. They do improve later although there remains some<br />

stiffness throughout the day. Also I'm in constant lower back pain when<br />

using a treadmill or playing golf, which does not ease at all.<br />

ANSWER: I would suggest seeing a doctor in your area to find out what is wrong, without knowing your age or other<br />

factors it is hard for me to guess what is wrong.<br />
