Dear Boomers and Beyond,
Obviously with the graying of the pottery community many of you boomers
and those beyond must suffer from osteo arthritis. Today I am starting a
daily regimen of taking Certo (two tbs.)as prescribed by readers of Dr.
Gott's column. (Certo is a pectin used in making jams and jellies.)
Readers of the Gott column seemed to get the best results when mixing the
Certo with unsweetend grape juice. I am wondering if any of you
ClayArters have tried this and what sort of results you got? Surgery can
take care of the carpal tunnel problem, now I hope Certo can take care of
the arthritis.
John Kudlacek
P.S. Gee, do you suppose Certo is "all natural"? jk

Dear John Kudlacek,
Given that Pectin is a gelatinous carbohydrate of vegetable origin,
what are its metabolic advantages in promoting damage repair of
injured or scarred joint tissue and how does it work?
I would have thought that restoring to the common diet those things
which act as building blocks for the tissues of our bodies would
better promote healing and restoration. These derived most easily from
animal sources. But they are "dressed out'" by butcher, poulterers
and fishmongers. Cooked in the steam atmosphere of a Terra Cotta
Braising Pot, meats usually considered to tough to chew because they
contain large proportions of sinew, gristle and cartilage become
tender, easy to eat and are readily digestible.
Nevertheless, I hope your good health is rapidly restored.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
Redhill,
S. Australia.

Hi Ivor, Don't know if you know of Dr. Gott the syndicated newspaper
doctor.... anyway, that is where I got my information. To learn more, you
may find him and the subject through Google.
John
