Not surprising wd40 as it was made from chemicals that resembled refined fish oils.

I am taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin , cod liver oil , doing my best to remove sugar ,alcohol , carbs in general and seed oils from my diet . I am going to make a copper bracelet and put it on one side only to see if there is a difference . Still early in these trials so hard to tell yet . I have been drinking a glass of homemade v8 vegtable cocktail we make every year for me . It has tomatoes ,cabbage , cucumbers, carrots , spinach , onions, garlic , sea salt, black pepper , tumeric, cellery , peppers .
Things went from tolerable to having dificulty doing up buttons , writing or starting nuts and bolts last winter . I am hoping by end of winter this year to be back in the tolerable catigory again . I don't expect to find a cure but hope if I can do enough little things that will alow me to work away on small stuff like carbs without all the pain in tthe hands .
will report on result

It was common to see people wearing them years ago. I knew a mechanic from 50/60 years ago that wore one. And if he wore one I’d say it works.
Look it up on the internet and see.
