Wd-40 For Arthritis?

A popular lubricant developed in 1953, is making waves as a treatment for arthritis, although there is no scientific evidence behind this assertion. Thousands of people around the world swear that WD-40 (short for water displacement - 40 attempts) , a product to prevent rust created by chemist Norm Larsen, has helped with arthritis pain and stiffness. Users say the original lubricant works wonders when sprinkled on the knees straight, hips and wrists. Golfer Eric McKaig is one of them. The 70-year-old retired sales manager and former player, said the product has ended years of suffering. He got arthritis seven years ago and has tried a lot of painkillers and supplements for fast relief, but without success. The 78-year-old friend Ron said Andrew McKaig about his secret. Since then, the two have found relief from the immediate demand. "It was an absolute blessing me. "WD-40 has given me lot of relief. A few weeks ago, I was still around the garden with my grandson. I could not do it for about three years," McKaig said. "There was a slope to my golf course is used a lot of damage to the knees. But a few days of spraying WD-40 did not hurt nearly as much. I just sprayed three or four times and have been sure why. "It was unbelievable," added Andrew.

In contrast to WD-40, however, the drug is injected into the joints, not just spray. "Spray on the outside of the knee with WD-40 I doubt that any city would come to reality. I have no doubt people who use them feel better, but probably just a simple placebo effect, "said air. Finally, the arthritis is characterized by relapses and remissions. The transfer is the absence of symptoms that occur for reasons unknown in 30 percent of arthritis patients. So, people who feel better after using WD-40 may actually be experiencing a remission.
