Spider bite led to joint swelling; curcumin and MMS reduced symptoms in eig
Last summer I was bit by a spider on my ankle. The bite started out localized with a goose egg, after several weeks it spread and my ankle became very swollen, red and hot. I had trouble walking. Eventually the swelling receded and other than a small knot in the arch of my foot, seemed to be gone. Several months ago,I was stacking several cords of wood for winter and could feel the knot located in the arch of my foot move up my leg and lodge in my knee(this happened in several hours). My knee became swollen, red and hot. This time I was running a fever. I couldn’t get comfortable and sleep was difficult. I was using crutches to get around. Now I am a health nut, we eat and use only organic products as well as high quality supplements, I have medical ozone and regularly use it. Nothing that I had in my arsonal was working. I was taking high doses of probiotics to no avail, when my dad suggested curcumin & serrepeptase instead of the probiotics, which helped some. This has now been going on for over 2 months. My husband has several web sites that he regularly looks at and one of them had the MMS story, he forwarded it to me and I immediately downloaded both Part 1&2 of the book. I did more research online and ordered the starter kit. I was very surprised as it arrived within 48 hours. I was a little nervous about the nausea/diarrhea reports so started off at 2 drops using the citric acid and mixing it in fresh organic apple cider after a meal(no nausea). I was also using DMSO applied directly to the inflamed area. That 1st night the pain was excruciating, the swelling was worse(partly because DMSO will cause initial swelling). I resorted to 800 mg of motrin and finally got some sleep. The next morning the swelling was down by half, the pain was gone, I was able to walk without crutches and on the flat of my foot instead of my toes. I have continued increasing the drops each dosage and am up to 14 drops this pm. The swelling is GONE. The pain is GONE. I am walking normally, sleeping through the night and waking alert with lots of energy. I still have to take a break every so often to put my leg up as it tires easily but I am able to keep up with my daily itinerary. Another thing that I have noticed is that I’m not near as hungry as before and get full quickly. This is all in 8 days. I am going to continue this routine for awhile and see what else it cures.
