Arthritis

Maybe if you're the Tin-man.

 

WD-40 is an old country boy remedy; but it works.
Something else that works in an emergency, is if you have a bad cut, real bad & need to get to the emergency room fast, use super glue on the cut and pinch it off. They even use a form of super glue in emergency operating rooms now. WD-40 removes super glue.

 

People with arthritis do use glucosamine tablets and it helps some people. Found in the vitamin section at Walmart.

 

The one of the main ingredient of WD 40 is Fish Oil. I heard of Mechs Spraying it on cuts and burns.

What IS The Main Ingredient of WD-40?
Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40?
No Cheating.....

WD-40 ~ Who knew!

I had a neighbor who bought a new pickup.
I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason).
I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news.
He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do....
probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open.
Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off.
It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I was impressed!

WD-40 who knew?
"Water Displacement #40".
The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts.
WD-40 was created in 1953, by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company.
Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'Water Displacement' Compound.
They were finally successful for a formulation, with their fortieth attempt, thus WD-40.
The 'Convair Company' bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.
When you read the 'shower door' part, try it.
It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door.
If yours is plastic, it works just as well as on glass.
It's a miracle!
Then try it on your stove-top.
It's now shinier than it's ever been.
You'll be amazed.

P.S.
As for that Basic, Main Ingredient.......
Well.... it's FISH OIL....

 

Where did you get that information from? Sounds like a fish story

According to Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40) the exact formula is a trade secret but they list the know ingredients as....

and

It looks to be mostly petroleum based to me.

Found a myth site for WD 40 at http://wd40.com/about-us/myths-legends-fun-facts/that covers both the Fish Oil and Arthritis claims

 

nothing personal but i'm not spraying WD-40 on my Arthritic Hand. I dont need the Toilet paper slipping out of my grip

 

There's one main misconseption(so) about WD-40. It is NOT a lubricant. Does it coat and protect sure. But its not a lubricant.

I used to ride dirt bikes a lot. Wore out hand grips all the time. New ones are a pain to put on. The grips are smaller than the bars and rubbery so they sticky. Someone said spray wd-40 on them they slide right on. Yeah sure. By golly I tried it. Slide right on the WD-40 dries and the grips stuck good as glue. But a heck of a lot easier.

 

Thee is a product called Theragesic. Not sure of the spelling.... anyway it's an ointment with a mild pain reliever. Just rub it into affected areas. You can find it at Walgreens. I use it on bad knee (left of course) and bad shoulder. Old Paul Harvey used to advertise it....

 

Yeah under stand If I used it on my arthritis all my cloths fall off, (have Arthritis neck down to my toes.) But it is an old remedy that suppose to have work. Heard of many using it other than arthritis.

 

LOL well I can bring in a few who will say that the site here you provided oes not have a clue. Ones who claim it did work on easing pain on arthritis, would bring in an kin folk who used it on cuts. Stopped bleeding faster than running to the ER. But go ahead and belive that site, it be ur lost
