text: The method you mentioned is useful if it is osteo-arthritis, not rheumatoid arthritis. It is more of a preventative than a treatment. The vinegar balances the bodies pH, and the molasses provides iron. And remember that all ingredients must be organic. Another good preventative/restorant is "organic egg". Place an organic egg or three in a wide-mouth jar and cover with organic freshly squeezed lemon juice. Let it sit for about a week, gently shaking daily. The vinegar leaches the calcium from the egg. Gently remove the egg itself (it will still have the membrane on it), and keep the calcium rich liquid. It will be calcium citrate, the most absorb-able form of calcium. Take three tablespoons a day.
