The original comment here is old, but I’ll post anyway about thumb and finger hand. Inflammation because my own miracle happened because of this group a year ago. Someone here mentioned Art cherry capsules, which I had been drinking on occasion, black cherry juice, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice in a jar filled with water or 7-Up for inflammatory reactions. I purchased tart cherry capsules online because of the recommendation here I purchased ZAZZEE Art, cherry capsules and after 30 years, my hand inflammation vanished. Doctors always told me it was osteoarthritis because that’s all they looked at in the x-rays. My hands are loaded with it. But it was the gout that was causing the inflammatory reaction not the OA. I stopped using all the topical on my hands and I’ve been great for a year. I can weed open the mail and do my artwork. I eventually asked to go on the medicine allopurinol which is for gout.
