Don't know much about arthritis personally but have to relate this info. Good friend of my mil helped her across the street elderly neighbor for many years. This elderly lady lived to be 102 or 103. She swore that her lack of stiffness and no arthritis was due to the way she started every morning: Before eating anything she drank a glass of water with about 1 tsp of white cider vinegar. Didn't eat or drinking anything after that for about 1/2 hr. She firmly believed this mixture wards off arthritis. Cannot make any promises but it did seem to work for her!
