Q. I had been suffering with aching joints for a little over 10 years. Doctors didn't pay attention because I'm only 37. Yet I could not move well and was in constant pain.
My mom read about taking gelatin to ease joint pain. I didn't listen, but then she asked me to do her the favor of printing out some info on this subject off the Internet for a friend.
She's very wise: the friend was me! She knew I would at least try it if I found others online with similar afflictions.
So I gave unflavored gelatin a try, a little bit in a glass of water. I was skeptical but by the third night, I was able to move my toes with no pain!
It had been a decade since I'd felt this good. In about a week and a half after starting, my hands were not swollen and I was able to type, brush my hair and do other tasks I hadn't been able to do before. To me, it is a personal miracle.
A. We heard about this remedy for joint pain a couple of years ago from a reader who stirs a packet of Knox Gelatine into juice, oatmeal or yogurt every day. You can read more stories on our website, www.peoplespharmacy.com.

This works and take it 3 times per day for one month then once a week. You will feel so much better. Thank you Jesus for the People's Pharmacy and NPR.
You may also want to try pectin (Certo -liquid fruit pectin) I envelope into a 64 oz bottle of Grape Juice. Take 6-8 oz day or more at first is needed. It will take a couple of weeks to kick in, but if you have been taking the gelatin, it will probably not take take long.
This does work. My sister with 2 same hip replacement still had arthritic pain and I got her to start.
My friend had had hip replaced and still had arthritic pain, started stopped and started again, and also had same thing recommended by the DR. column in her newspaper.
Me, I am developing the on coming hip problems and I started and it works.. stop and you will feel the difference.
I had a radio review with Joe & Terry.. this does work..
My friend said in her paper you can take 2 or 3 times a day to get started and you won't need but once after that.
Good Luck.
How much, in how much water?
I'm very interested in trying this remedy, but how much gelatin does one use? a little bit in a glass of water 3x a day? or a packet? I'd really appreciate an answer
How much Gelatin should I take on daily basis - full pack or what? Thanks!!
I would like to know how much Gelatine to use on a daily basis, should I use it every day and also like to know to use it in water, juice, or in food

People's Pharmacy response: One packet of unflavored gelatin daily. That is two tablespoons in water, juice, yogurt, oatmeal or other soft food.
I would like to know how to mix the Certo-liquid jell fruit pectin with grape juice.
Is it o.k with 1 tsp of Certo in 1 cup of juice ? 1 serving per day or more ? How long it will start to work ?
Thanks.
Will this work if you've made the gelatin into jello?
I have read on other sites to consume 3 teaspoons of gelatin broken up throughout the day which is the equivalent of 1 tablespoon or 1 Knox packet. Hope this helps.
Does the knox gelatin have any effect on a daily 81mg. aspirn blood thinner? I would like to try it for the stiffness in my knees. Does it also have an effect on your stomach like the glucosomine and chrotin does?
