Question
The joint in my left big toe occasionally becomes red and swells up, becomes  stiff and painful. I have been tested for gout but it was negative. The episodes last for several days. They respond to anti inflamatories. Is it arthritis? Are there a dietary supplements that can help?

Answer
Peter,

There are two supplements that I have found very helpful.

The first is Cetyl Myristoleate. It is a form of ceytlized fatty acid. I have use it for years.

The other is omega 3 fatty acids.

Here are links about both.
