Pain started in my thumb joints about 10 years ago. Doc said these are usually
the first to show
signs of 'maturity.' I was 53 then. Over last 5 years, I've been taking Halibut
liver oil capsules
daily and the relief is substantial. Each to their own I suppose - and no
change in my diet. Plenty
of garlic whenever possible - though casual friends don't seem as plentiful as
heretofore :)
